2025-09-22 | Silicon Wafers 007 | DAILY UPDATES | Wafers daily is a round-up of news over the last 1-2 days, with a particular focus on the resurgence of authoritarian regimes in the 21st century, great power competition, democracy on the defensive, the Russian imperial project, and how Ukraine is leading the fightback for values and freedom. In this short video format, I hope to bring some light to dark times.Today is September 22, 2025. Over the past two days we’ve seen sharp escalations in the Russia-Ukraine war, new moves from Moscow on arms control, and rumbles in the clash between great powers. We’ll walk through what’s new, what it reveals, and what it tells us about tyranny, imperial ambitions, and the long arc of global authoritarianism. Let’s begin.Russia’s Massive Drone & Missile Assaults — Civilian Terror as Strategy. On September 20, Russian forces launched what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called a “massive” coordinated attack: over 580 drones and around 40 missiles fired overnight at nine regions across Ukraine — including Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Kyiv, Odesa, Sumy and Kharkiv. (Reuters)The targets: infrastructure, residential buildings, civilian manufacturing. In Dnipro, for example, a cluster munition struck a multi-story residential building. At least three people were killed, dozens injured.
