The world should stop generating endless empty vanity rhetoric to look good and should stop buying Russian fossils. Even states that sanctioned Russia, provide Russia with more money to continue the war than Ukraine gets to fight Russia and protect Europe from Russia.

If a country that thinks of itself as a military power attacks its neighbor and then begs for a ceasefire for the sake of a parade in order to show off the remnants of its "military might," that country is an atavism of history.

Great read on real numbers of Ukrainians who fought and died during WWII. Russia—that actually started WWII as Hitler's ally to share Europe—now tries to appropriate the victory as its own while in reality it were other countries that fought more and suffered more.

Video Shows Aid Workers Killed in Gaza Under Gunfire Barrage, With Ambulance Lights On (Gift Article)
The U.N. has said Israel killed the workers. The video appears to contradict Israel’s version of events, which said the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without headlights or emergency signals.

The US should thank Trump for losing its allies in Europe. Wonder how it plans to counter China when it loses the whole Europe's support and access. Putin is laughing his ass off: his buddy Trump helps to achieve unimaginable—dividing Europe and the US.

If they need Ukraine's capitulation so urgently and desperately that they go hysterical and nonsensical to just plea for it openly, it means Ukraine really inflicted a lot of damage on Trump's close friend Putin and Russian army. It means that Ukraine does everything right.

The truth is it doesn't matter what Zelenskyy would say. The result would be the same regardless. The one goal was to blame him. Even if he took it all silently without arguments with a smile, they'd blame him for his clothes or for whatever they please. So, at least he stood up to these clowns.

It appears that Trump is guided by the false logic that Russia could somehow be turned against China. Nothing could be farther from the truth. A century of communism under different guises, common history, proximity, and Asian ancestry align Russia and China generationally.

There you go with Russian youth during the It’s-Only-Putin’s-War.
But hey, it’s actually Ukrainians who need to be lectured on how they must “reject war” and just turn another cheek to this.

As expected, hacking body weight isn't working in the long run. One needs to "teach" one's body to be healthy by eating healthy food in appropriate quantity at the right time, not relying on quick fixes. The body needs to adapt to the right routine naturally.

China and India are the biggest abusers of our climate. The first thing to start doing to tackle global warming is reshoring production capacities from countries that burn fossil fuels to those that use renewable energy. China and India don't give a shit about our home planet.
