The same way an unconfirmed rumor of Steve Jobs having a heart attack affected Apple stocks a few years ago.
It doesn't matter whether or not they're a threat, if enough people believe in it it's still affecting the economy.

First of all, kindly mind of manners, none of us are here to be insulted.

Secondly, last time I checked "supply" was part of the economy and the "greedy scum of the world" are the ones who decide how much of what gets produced based on the price they think they can get for it and on the demand for their goods.

Not that any of it matters to you of course, someone who joins a forum just to insult the writer of an article and other users is clearly not looking for an honest discussion on the nature of the global economy and the sociopolitical factors that influence it.

Considering foundries are slashing memory production to drive up prices, I don't see this as an issue.

Yes, I'm sure you're right.
After all, political tensions have never caused supply disruptions in the past.
And of course, you have actual data to prove your assertions, right?
You didn't just pull that 'prediction' out of thin air.
But really, you do you, I fed the troll enough for today.

Probably because outside of the troll who got banned we're all just having a civil discussion.
No one is arguing in the thread.

OK, I think we can cease with the discussion of the military capabilities of North Korea.

Deal?

Sure thing.
The discussion more or less ran it's course anyway.

Am I the only one who doesn't think it is good to have more 50% of a world dependency from one single country? What is a natural disaster happens? At most any country should never produce more then 25% of a world need. They should put factories all over the globe. Dale thing for grain, why did oukrain provide more then 50% of all grains in the world? These situations are really fragile and could cause disasters. Why are our leaders not doing something? Split those concerns over 4 different contents. That way a disaster or war won't cause critical shortages. It is never good to have all your important assets in one place. (Country)

That's easier said than done.
