> Ukraine is claiming …

That is only a claim and has not been independently verified.

> Putin can remain as stubborn as he wants …

We don’t know whether these numbers are accurate, and even if they are, we cannot know what information actually reaches him. Military subordinates might hesitate to report such figures.

Even if he actually receives and accepts those figures, he still has access to other types of weapons that have only been used on rare occasions. The extent to which such systems can be intercepted or countered is unclear and widely discussed: Oreshnik

In Germany, there was a trend of setting up public bookcases in town squares where passers-by could drop off or take books. But as things go, after a while, they slowly started to go out of fashion. Since then, kebab shops and barbershops have become a more common sight in the cityscape (Stadtbild).

> kebabs and barber shops

Living in Germany, I can confirm that it’s part of the everyday scenery here (Stadtbild).

> and a rave

I can confirm that techno culture is a deeply rooted part of the urban landscape. However, the era of massive, free street parades effectively ended with the 2010 Love Parade tragedy in Duisburg, where a crowd crush claimed many lives. For years, such large-scale public raves vanished due to strict safety regulations. It’s only recently that we’ve seen a revival with 'Rave The Planet' in Berlin—an event led by the original Love Parade founders that attempts to bring techno back to the streets, though under much tighter organizational control.

> It is sufficient that everywhere in the universe follows some structure and rules, that's all.

What is that sufficient for?

>Otherwise we have a random universe, which does not seem to be the case.

Why jump to randomness, rather than to the possibility of undiscovered laws?

Why do you believe that the same mathematical properties hold everywhere in the universe?

He is the result of the political will of the majority of U.S. voters. Every democratic country gets the leadership it deserves.

Or the media may be unwilling to report on potential corruption within parts of the Greenlandic government, because that would blur the clear-cut narrative: Greenland as the good side, Trump as the villain.
