Putin's political and moral impertinence

Even if Russia's president does not allow his troops to march into Ukraine, he has crossed borders. The sanctions against him should be implemented. So if Vladimir Putin's troops don't invade Ukraine this Wednesday, as predicted by the American secret services, will everything be fine again? What if they don't invade in the next few days, if they don't invade at all, but return to their barracks from the Ukrainian border? Is everything okay then? No, then nothing is good. It is true that there is no element of coercion in international law. But the principle of the general prohibition of violence applies, enshrined in Article Two, Section Four of the UN Charter. This ban on violence includes not only the use, but also the threat of violence.

At the same time, the text was intended to limit President Biden's powers so that he can no longer grant exceptions to sanctions with reference to national security interests. Republicans are pushing for more action The pipeline, which has already been completed but has not yet gone into operatio...

The Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine Produces Stronger Immunity Than Any Other, Research Says

The Covid-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech produces a stronger immune response than the other 3 vaccines. This was revealed in a medical study conducted in the United States. The Stanford University study compared Pfizer , AstraZeneca, Sputnik V and cyanoform vaccines. The study found that the rates of antibodies protecting the intestinal tract from the corona virus vary across the four vaccines. According to research, the number of antibodies produced by cyanobacteria and Sputnik V vaccines is lower, the rate is milder in AstraZeneca and higher than in Pfizer vaccine. Much research has been done for some time on the causes of different immune responses to different types of vaccines. There are several reasons for this, such as the active ingredients in each diet and the interval between the first and second doses. The study, conducted in July, included 196 people from Mongolia who had completed the vaccine. All four vaccines were used in these individuals, and at that tim...
