"Regardless of the scenario that unfolds on a global level in the coming years, the continuation of international conflicts is unfortunately very likely. This is partly due to the ongoing fundamental changes - and the opportunities they bring - which fuel ambitions and the willingness to take risks in the prospect of seemingly enormous profits," said Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday in a speech at a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club in Moscow, also expressing his belief that the situation will calm down with the retreat of what he called "Western hegemony."

When the EU adopted its first "regulation" on artificial intelligence in 2024 (rather than regulation, it was about classification of use type), there was a fire on the roof.

So here it is: I'm heading to Active Reserves. Given my specialization, I will—who would have thought—become a doctor. The equipment of these units has seen quite a lot. As the 🇺🇦 battlefield shows, for example, the resilience of ambulances is very significant for the survival of the wounded. They've been waiting for them for quite some time... In short: the absurdity of the ruling treacherous populists will jeopardize the lives of our boys and girls who, despite all the disgusting, harassment, and humiliation, are willing to defend this country. I learned from the more experienced not to complain. We will improvise as we saw in 🇺🇦. Modifying civilian cars, buying equipment ourselves, setting up clinics in basements. We'll manage. But know in advance: to the marrow of my bones, I despise those who waste time and effort on defense at a time when we need to prepare for it... (translated)

You are a very contact-oriented pet. However, he is absolutely untrained and doesn't even know how to sit. The lady at the shelter said that he is a dog that you don't really want anything from except for some cuddles. The main problem is that due to how he was kept on a chain, he won't allow a collar to be put on him and he reacts quite strongly. The same goes for touching his paws when he gets the leash tangled. And because of that chain, he has a problem with his neck and sometimes chokes brutally. On Saturday, we will go for a walk just the two of us and we will see. So far, I have very mixed feelings.
