The 215-208 vote showed worries over the war spreading in the president’s own party five months before congressional elections. Last month, a Senate resolution to end the war also advanced past a procedural hurdle for the first time, though that legislation has not yet come to a formal vote. The...

Opinion of older people on the younger generation

I came across this video and am quite shocked by the statements of the first 2 people: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Jm-n7zI0hr8 Are they serious? These are individual opinions, right?

Apart from the fact that "more work" would not solve our economic problem... submitted by /u/Zestyclose-Can5544 [li

First Trump, then Putin go to China. Does great-power diplomacy now hinge on Beijing?

Despite recent back-to-back visits to Beijing by US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, no new trilateral framework or major diplomatic breakthrough has emerged.

Several analysts said the pattern

Energy Costs Are Catching Up With Big Tech

Artificial intelligence is all the rage these days, and so is its energy consumption. From a game-changing technology that would usher in a new era, AI has recently turned into a problem for many—a problem that makes electricity more expensive while, apparently, not really living up to the promise of its developers. Big Tech is still pledging tens of billions in AI spend. Now, it may have to spend a bigger portion of those billions on securing its own energy, and on proving its worth the money t

5 lessons for Asia as it studies wars from the privilege of peace

Since the Ukraine war began in 2022, Asia has been watching conflict as if enrolled in a study course.
