Of course its always their fault.

The US is the country which has perfected the art of weaponising currency, to exert pain on the populations of the countries experiencing popular uprisings against their ruling oppressors as you’ve put it.

Whether it is happening or not, should it be surprising that weaponisation of chip supplies might be a natural defensive response, of countries having the financial weapon wielded against them?

What goes around, really does come come around, if you choose to see it, I think.
