ok, it's the chemical element, an inert gas.
I guess they use it in the semiconductor industry to shield the chips from oxydation while producing the chip.
I suppose they will find an alternative if there is a shortage for Neon, albeit maybe something more expensive.
They don't have the capability to replace those production facilities. So the shortage will come and be a major issue for the chip production. However, its not that Western nations can't do that themselves, but it will need more time and investment than people might anticipate. So if this won't be solved soon in Ukraine/Russia, it will lead to serious problems for the whole production chain.
He's wrong to emphasize Putin is 70 years old.
When only Putin is removed, a similar man from the Kremlin KGB will persecute Putin's ambitions.
When they get Ukraine, they'll go for Georgia and Moldavia.
And if they get away with that, they'll go to for the Baltic states.
Putin's confidence got a blow because he underestimated Ukraine's resistance.
Now is the moment to strike.
If you let this pass he'll step up in Ukraine with cluster bombs and chemical warfare.
And after that he'll go further.
No, the situation is tense, Russia is cornered, being attacked by NATO, e.g. under the premise of a "No-Fly zone", which means open war, also means a lot of Russian and NATO pilotes will be shot down and this is open war. From the point of Russia losing air superiority, they can only resort to weapons of mass destruction to save their position. So you really want to start a nuclear 3rd World War for this irresponsible Selenski and his allied oligarchs? They brought Ukraine to this point as much as Putin did, with being hardline anti-Russian and confrontational, without any chance for Russia to solve this peacefully.
This was absolutely unnecessary, they crossed many red lines and they knew it. Now they escalated the war even further and don't care for civilians or this becoming World War III. You know, for Kolomoyskyi and other mobsters like him, its a personal issue also, because they own large fractions of Ukraine, and he already lost "his assets" in Crimea and being persecuted by Russia and was persecuted in Ukraine also. Yet he has his private militias, which did multiple atrocities and he even paid bounties for Russians and pro-Russian Ukrainians, which fights this war.
With Kolomoyskyi and others like him behind Selenski, which lied, when he promised to find a diplomatic solution with Russia in his election campaign, there was obviously no peaceful solution to this conflict, because they want to keep their grip on the country. The Ukrainian nationalists and patriots being just abused for their interests, but at least they know what they are fighting for or think they do, but the common Ukrainian population was dragged into this by the Selenski regime and he is unwilling to find any peaceful solution.
Kolomoyskyi hates Russia, wants to bring it down, and he wants his private assets from Crimea back and staying one of the oligarchs of Ukraine.
And for that bunch the West should start World War III? Seriously?
There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever for Russian plans other than the current or former GUS states:

Russia has neither the intention nor the capability to go any further by force. That's just invented anti-Russian propaganda!
The West should make clear for Selenski that he should go back to the negotiations table and show good will for coming to a peaceful agreement, or the support gets cut. But of course, they never will do that, because they being so deeply involved into this conflict by now and made up "good vs. evil" narrative. And especially the USA and UK don't care, because they wanted Russia down or at least isolated before already. They were always against Nordstream II, as if a dependence from American fracking gas would be better than the Russian pipeline for Europe.
That regime of Selenski did so many things to escalate that conflict and so little for de-escalation, that I see absolutely no reason for risking a 3rd world war for these warmongers. They brought themselves into this situation with Putin as equally responsible. Putin had no right to escalate to that level, but he was running out of options by being cornered aggressively by both the Selenski regime and USA plus UK. Either they wanted war or they deliberately risked it, now they are out to blame all the others and demand even more escalation. What for? They should push for a diplomatic solution, like they should have already 8 years ago instead of such an awful confrontational stance which causes only suffering and destruction.
