"When Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in the 90s, we were promised protection. You took away our nuclear weapons? You promised us protection? Yes, in simple terms, so keep your word. We're being slaughtered and you're still trying to play games, to defend your interests. You have to give everything you could to end this war in two days. Who will believe the words of the US or England, who are pissing themselves in front of Russia? Pardon my English."

1. Transfer of civilian population (paras. 115-119)
   In its Wall Advisory Opinion, the Court found that Israel’s settlement policy was in breach of the sixth paragraph of Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which provides that “[t]he Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies”.
   In the Court’s view, there is nothing in the terms or the context of the provision, or in the object and purpose or the drafting history of the Fourth Geneva Convention, to suggest that that provision prohibits only the forcible transfer of parts of the occupying Power’s civilian population into the occupied territory. In the present case, there is extensive evidence of Israel’s policy of providing incentives for the relocation of Israeli individuals and businesses into the West Bank, as well as for its industrial and agricultural development by settlers. There is also evidence that Israel regularly legalizes outposts that have been established in contravention of domestic Israeli legislation and that Israel’s construction of settlements is accompanied by specially designed civilian infrastructure in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which integrates the settlements into the territory of Israel.
   In light of the above, the Court considers that the transfer by Israel of settlers to the West Bank and East Jerusalem, as well as Israel’s maintenance of their presence, is contrary to the sixth paragraph of Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
2. Confiscation or requisitioning of land (paras. 120-123)
   The Court further notes that the expansion of Israel’s settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem is based on the confiscation or requisitioning of large areas of land.
   Observing that, in the present case, the public property confiscated or requisitioned for the development of Israeli settlements benefits the civilian population of settlers, to the detriment of the local Palestinian population, the Court concludes that Israel’s land policies are not in conformity with Articles 46, 52 and 55 of the Hague Regulations.

The policy adopted by the Biden administration to thwart AI developments in China hasn't worked out at all and, instead, has fueled growth given that domestic alternatives are popping up in the markets and that, through loopholes, Chinese organizations are already keeping up with their computational needs.

I don’t like poetry. I find it slow, buggy, and poorly designed. It often gets in my way and I end up spending my time debugging poetry instead of actually working on my projects. Perhaps it makes packaging or upgrading dependencies a bit easier but ultimately I don’t find it adds much value on top of built-in Python tools to justify the complexity and poor user experience.

Prior measurements of the spins of quarks that make up protons and neutrons find these characteristics contribute no more than around 30 percent of the nucleon's total spin, leading to the so-called spin crisis.

It’s not just about following laws or guidelines — it’s about being mindful and compassionate in our everyday choices, treating sentient creatures with respect.

As we move forward, both industries and individuals have a part to play. After all, how we treat the smallest of creatures often reflects our values as a society.

"This is a test for MAGA types and the populist right to see whether they allow themselves to be lied to flagrantly by elites trying to manipulate them," Drop Site's Ryan Grim wrote in response to Andreessen's comments. "The CFPB put out a legitimately good rule that went after banks over debanking users based on political views. Yes, a populist left-wing CFPB head stood up for the rights of conservatives."

"Now VCs and Musk, who don't like the CFPB for other reasons, are straight up lying to whip people into a frenzy and defang the CFPB," Grim added. "The message: They think you are stupid and can't read and are going to make your life worse in order to enrich themselves."

But China's population statistics can be particularly misleading.

"Virtually overnight, Chongqing has become the largest city not only in China, but in the world," Time Magazine proclaimed in 2005.

But it wasn't true - Chongqing is not the largest city in the world, or even in China.

Why do so many people think it is?

Professor Kam Wing Chan of the University of Washington in the United States, who has made a career out of correcting people's exaggerated claims about Chinese population statistics, explains that what China calls a municipality or city is better understood as a province.

Many of the 30 million people who are said to live in the city of Chongqing are actually agricultural workers living in a rural setting, he says.

In fact, he says, the area is so huge it's about the size of Austria.

"And if you were to travel from the downtown area to some of the peripheral areas where those 30 million live, it might take a day or two because the road conditions are not that good. So, this cannot be possibly called a city. Because when we call a place a city the general understanding is that we're talking about a commuting zone."

Professor Chan calculates that a more reasonable estimate of the urban population of Chongqing is six or seven million.

“Vladimir Putin has sought to appeal more to the poorer parts of society. Inflation risks undercutting this,” he said.

Analysts said price rises were unlikely to trigger massive street protests but they would damage Putin’s popularity.

Ordinary Russians link inflation to Putin’s war in Ukraine. They may not see the war but they can feel it.

Russia’s ailing economy may actually force Putin to end his war in Ukraine.

“It increases the risks to Putin of continuing the war and might just push him to the negotiating table,” said Timothy Ash, an Associate Fellow at Chatham House. “Perhaps, anyway.”

A fair share of Ukrainians who favor negotiating a quick end to the war believe Ukraine should be open to ceding some territory in exchange for peace. More than half of this group (52%) agrees that Ukraine should be open to making some territorial concessions as part of a peace deal to end the war, while 38% disagree and another 10% don’t know. Gallup did not ask more details about the level of territorial concessions that people would be open to.
