I read the transcript. It is hard to conceive that Zelensky has won this debate despite being surrounded by two opponents. Supposedly well-rehearsed opponents, but it became apparent that they're not experienced. They're just spoiled by obtaining everything too easily.
Yes, he lost US government support, but this is regardless of what he did. He was losing it anyway. But Trump and Vance failed to justify why they ambushed him like this.

How about a solar-powered reactor that could enable cars and planes to run on CO2 drawn from the air (and converted into fuel)?
Erwin Reisner's research group @Cambridge_Uni develops devices that convert waste, water and air into fuels and chemicals.

Can anyone explain to me how is this different from Trump?
“In the event that he [Netanyahu] plans to visit Germany, I have promised myself that we will find a way to ensure that he can visit Germany and leave again without being arrested”
The only legal way to achieve this is to withdraw Germany from the ICC.

The results showed there would be a “nuclear carbon emission bomb” from extending the use of fossil fuels while waiting for nuclear power."

#24Febbraio: a #3anni dall’inizio della #guerra tra #Russia e #Ucraina suggeriamo uno studio da #StatoeChiese sulle origini del #conflitto. L’analisi va al di là dei fatti più recenti e individua le maggiori responsabilità nel mancato rispetto del #disarmo dei due blocchi #militari, #Usa e Russia, e nell’assenza della #Nato nel ruolo di garante.
Per approfondimenti, l’articolo è disponibile in #OpenAccess qui

Meta and X do not block incitement to violence
"A corporate accountability group called Ekō submitted ten ads to Meta and X that contained clear examples of extremist hate speech, incitement to violence ahead of the German election, and AI imagery, all of which serve as grounds for blocking an ad from running.
The ads contained calls for the imprisonment and gassing of immigrants, the burning of mosques with dehumanising speech, and equated immigrants to animals and pathogens. The accompanying AI-generated images depicting violent imagery, such as ''scenes of immigrants crowded into a gas chamber and synagogues on fire.''
The submissions were made from 10-14 February, and Meta approved half of them within 12 hours and X scheduled all the submitted for publication, according to the researchers. Ekō's researchers then removed the ads before they went live, so were never seen by the platforms' users."

"There is no scientific evidence that noise-cancelling headphones cause auditory processing disorder (APD). Nor is there any robust data showing a rise in the condition. But Almeida believes the question warrants attention. “Studies definitely need to be done,” she says. “The research should focus on the effects of extended use, especially in young people.”
