It does and the actual wording is in my opinion a bit stronger in the EU guarantee, but I believe politically it's viewed as much weaker since the EU is fundamentally a economic/trade union and not a military one like NATO. That is to say, the EU could still exist without such a clause, but for NATO it's the entire reason for the organization to be.

That's a rather odd change of tone since the statement not only definitively states that Ukraine is a sovereign nation but it also outright encourages EU membership for Ukraine which comes with a similar military defense guaranty to NATO, though importantly it of course does not come with US backing. At a guess I would say that they are trying to preemptively position themselves as the "reasonable" party in the upcoming (on-going?) negotiations.

An inability to empathize is not an artistic preference, it's a medical condition.

Indeed this is a problem that basically all rapidly developing countries have/will/are facing. Japan is famously struggling with their aging demographic right now, China is coming in 10-20 years, Russia is gonna have a particularly nasty time in about 30 years, Italy quite a bad one in just a decade. Plenty of emerging economies like Egypt, Philippines, and Rwanda are likely having their booms right now. At the same time many western countries have benefited greatly from immigration smoothing out their age demographic brackets since immigrants tend younger.

Here is India's population pyramid.

There is a clear swell in the population aged around 20 years old which will be fantastic for the country in the next few decades as they will have a surplus of people in the most productive years of their lives, growing the economy massively. However, right after this glut of workers there is a rather sharp decline in population which means that once these boom time people start retiring, and therefore no longer producing economic output, they will then have to be supported by the suddenly much less numerous younger generation. Meaning there will be more people living off of the work of fewer, that won't be comfortable.

That's why they want more babies, to lessen the blow of an aging population.

My dude you are Dutch, if the russians make it to the Netherlands for you to shoot at then the west will already be ashes.

I really wonder how Hezbollah are going to take effectively ceding territory to the Lebanese Armed Forces(LAF). The agreement apparently mandates that after the 60 day transfer process that LAF, alongside UN forces, become the sole military presence in southern Lebanon, an area previously held by Hezbollah. While the two forces are "friendly" at the moment it also wasn't all too long ago that they fought on opposite sides of the Lebanese Civil War, and to me it's looking a lot like this agreement will push them closer to resuming that conflict.

The ship already is effectively detained. For the last week it's been anchored in Danish waters surrounded by military vessels, at this very moment I count 5 German and 1 danish military/coast guard ships within a few km of of the Chinese Yi Peng 3. This article is basically just Sweden asking for the ship to be moved to their own waters so they can more easily investigate, the motivation being that the cable was damaged within Swedish maritime borders so they should be the ones leading the investigation.

While ideally you'd want a column for serving size, package size, and per 100g, if you're only gonna have one it should definitely be the per 100g since that's the only one that allows you to easily compare between different brands and products.

Nestlé isn't the only brand of baby food available in those markets, they sit right next to products that do have that "no added sugar" label. But that healthier alternative is not what sells better, the cheaper ones do, why? Because the consumers in those markets either can't afford the healthy food or they lack the education to know the importance of a good diet.

What products are available on a market is a reflection of the purchasing habits of the consumers in that market, and those habits are a result of the macro socioeconomic factors of the region. If Nestlé changed all their products to be "no added sugar" right now then the prices of those products would need to be bumped up slightly which would mean the consumers would shift to another brand that's cheaper which has the same issue and hey presto nothing has changed.

Nestlés products having added sugar is not the problem it is a symptom.

So what do we do if we want to solve these big problems? Well that's not easy, it largely depends on the governments and people of those regions, but we can help. There are charities like plan-international.org which tries to directly tackle inequality and education, but driving economic activity can also help, maybe next time you go grocery shopping you buy a Senegal peanut oil or a pack of batteries from The Philippines. These are big hard problems that won't be easily solved, but if we are to have any chance to fixing them we need to be able to identify what the problem is, getting mad at a brand is a lot easier than recognizing the underlying issues.
