For Russia, surely, but admitting defeat would be dangerous personally for Putin. Putin cares about Putin, and possibly for some made-up image of Russia in his head, not for the russian people.

I read it the other way around. For people with the same BMI for instance, h8gher blood xyliyol was linked to higher cardiovascular accidents.

In order to confirm, it would be better to check the article itself instead of this summary. It seems it is not published yet.

At least some of that seems to be taken into account already:

The researchers also highlighted that the association was independent of underlying factors such as body mass index, hypertension, diabetes and lipid levels, which might predispose people to low-calorie products.

Still agree more research is needed.

I don’t think that helps.

It’s ironical how russia shills will call everyone defending against russia “pro-war” instead of the one who actually decided to start the war, Putin, when no one was going to invade russia.

AfD is very much not supportive towards Palestine.

Good for you! However, many people live in big cities and need to commute to work precisely at rush hours.

“trees are living beings and a common human good, life on Earth depends on their existence”

Is it that radical?

Yes. It’s literally in the second paragraph:

while accounting for socioeconomic considerations as well

In Blackburn, England.

The tide has turned.

Ukraine is starting to regain more ground than it is losing for the first time since 2023. Ukrainian forces liberated more territory than they lost in the last two weeks of February 2026 for the first time since the Summer 2023 counteroffensive. Russian forces suffered a net loss of 116 square kilometers of territory in April 2026. Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief General Oleksandr Syrskyi stated on May 15 that precise Ukrainian strikes, the destruction of Russian reserves, and constant pressure on Russian assault units have allowed Ukrainian forces to increasingly seize the tactical initiative and force Russian forces to react to a Ukrainian-defined operational tempo.

Sir/Lady, you are talking on the internet. People won’t know where your “here” is 😉

Yes. Violence, by definition, requires physical force

It’s possible to define it like that, but it’s definitely not universally the case and seems overly restrictive. Just one example from the WHO’s World report on violence and health:

Violence at work involves not only physical but also psychological behaviour. Many workers are subjected to bullying, sexual harassment, threats, intimidation and other forms of psychological violence.

Words are not physical violence

The person you respond to didn’t say that words are physical violence.

Do you believe the only form of violence is physical violence?

Tonight, our long-range sanctions reached the Moscow region again: for the second time in a week, the Moscow Oil Refinery was hit. Targets in the Rostov region and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine were also hit. A completely fair response to Russian strikes on our cities and communities and another important result of the work of our soldiers on the facilities that provide support for the Russian military machine. Thank you to our Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine for their joint work - the SBU, SBS, SSO, GUR, and our missile brigade for their accuracy.
  These days, all our partners have noted the accuracy and effectiveness of our middle strikes and long-range sanctions. It is time to end this war, and Russia must take the necessary steps in diplomacy.

No, it means it’s almost surrounded. Lichtenstein is not part of the EU.

They found that those who ate the highest amount of ultra-processed food every day had a 58% increased risk of developing dementia and a 46% increased risk for cognitive impairment compared to people who ate the lowest amount of daily ultra-processed food.

That’s a huge effect.

This BBC article is doing an ok job. It’s true that Trump claims that a deal is near. They also point out the history:

Trump has previously claimed a deal with Iran was close without one materialising.

[…]

On 20 April, Trump said a deal with Iran would be made “relatively quickly”, and both he and senior administration figures suggested negotiations were progressing in the weeks that followed.

But on 27 May, after reports the two sides were close to an agreement, Trump said he was “not satisfied” with its terms. Talks have continued since.

[…]

Hours before the latest comments on an impending deal, Trump had said “the United States will be hitting Iran… very hard tonight” while threatening to seize Kharg Island and other oil infrastructure points “in the not too distant future”.
