The Tectonic

‼️Neues 🇺🇦 🦅 Update: Hallo Moskau 😁 PS: Manche haben sich vielleicht gewundert, wo ich diese bisher unbekannten neuen Grafiken her habe, mit aktuellen Daten, und warum ich gestern bereits 30 min. vor dem Angriff auf Ust-Luga diesen voraus sagen konnte ,und das hier auch auf X gepostet habe. Es gibt da so ein kleines "geheimes" Projekt im Hintergrund. Noch kann ich dazu nicht zu viel verraten, aber es gibt die Möglichkeit noch weitere OSINT Daten, auf die man im ersten Moment nicht wirklich kommt, zusätzlich über die üblichen RU Observer Channels hinaus, auszuwerten, die in der Gesamtheit ein ziemlich präzises Realtime Daten-Bild ermöglichen, dass man dann auch graphisch umsetzen kann. - Erste Auswertungs-Versuche und daraus resultierende Ergebnisse sind vielversprechend, aber es ist noch in der Entwicklungsphase. Ich poste hier aktuell also mit ca. 30 Min Zeitverzögerung mit ausdrücklicher Erlaubnis des technischen Entwicklers. Mehr Infos dazu bald. Ihr dürft also gespannt sein. Stay tuned.

⚠️ Nvidia board prepares to oust CEO Jensen Huang as reports allege extramarital affair with company executive The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Nvidia's board is preparing to oust founder and CEO Jensen Huang, citing people familiar with the matter. The Journal said the board could meet as soon as Wednesday to determine his future. Reuters, which relayed the report, said it could not independently verify it. Nvidia had not commented by early evening, and no SEC filing announcing a leadership change has been made. The Journal report followed a New York Times story, also published Wednesday, that Huang had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of health care, who reports to him. The Times cited five people who worked at the company and said both are married to other people. Two of those people told the Times the pair were captured on video being affectionate at a San Jose hotel during Nvidia's March conference. The newspaper said it had not seen the video. Asked about the relationship, Huang told the Times, "I don't think you should be talking to me directly," and ended the call. Powell did not immediately respond. Nvidia declined to comment. The reports land on top of a separate relationship with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive whom U.S. intelligence officials, according to U.S. news reports, regard as a Chinese intelligence asset. China has denied the allegation. No indictment or on-the-record U.S. finding has been made public. On Nov. 8, Nvidia's board opened an independent investigation into whether Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort. On Nov. 10, its independent directors said Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and former acting U.S. attorney Joon H. Kim would lead the inquiry. Nvidia shares fell after hours: Reuters put the drop at about 8% after the Journal report, while CNBC said more than 7%.

🇺🇲 🇷🇺 🇪🇺 Scoop: Washington asks Putin to write a new security offer for Europe, with "symmetrical steps" to calm the continent The Trump administration wants Vladimir Putin to put his demands for Europe's security on paper, and to say what Russia would give in return. According to Axios, citing two sources with knowledge of the matter, US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner asked Russian negotiators in Abu Dhabi to submit a new proposal for a future security agreement with Europe. The sources say Russia's team told the room that Putin launched the invasion because President Biden never answered his 2021 letter on security. Kushner and Witkoff replied that the world has changed since 2021 and asked Moscow to draft a fresh offer that lays out its concerns and also the "symmetrical steps" it would take to de-escalate and reassure Europe it will not attack again. Kushner described the message publicly after the talks. "We told the Russians, they have their desires and fears, but they have to provide different de-escalation and different proposals as well, if they want Europe to be able to receive those proposals in a good way." The envoys meet Putin in Moscow on Thursday morning, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told TASS, and Axios says they will repeat the request there. They also want Putin to let European representatives join the next round of Russia-Ukraine talks. Moscow has refused so far. Russia's chief negotiator Vladimir Medinsky said after Abu Dhabi that he did not understand what could be discussed with European leaders, while also saying Russia wants a broader security deal with Europe as part of ending the war. "In Ukraine, an abscess has simply burst," he said. "The entire body needs to be treated." The sources told Axios that European officials in Abu Dhabi agreed to work on both tracks at once, the war and the wider architecture, while insisting that final decisions on European security come only after the war ends. A source familiar with White House thinking said Washington will not sign a security deal with Russia unless Europe and Ukraine are on board, and will not give Moscow a veto over Europe's security choices. Why it matters: for years the US rejected Russia's demands to limit NATO and pull back forces from Eastern Europe. Washington now appears open to discussing them in some form. Europeans are deeply suspicious, and their leaders gather in Dublin on Thursday as Witkoff and Kushner fly there from Moscow to see Zelensky.
