It's good. Systolic pressure is the higher of the two. When that is lower, your arterial system is operating at a lower pressure, which likely leads to less long term damage. The key takeaway is that the effects are likely due to weight loss.

If they don't want to become part of Russia again, they need to reunite with Romania. They need to think about their long term political and economic future. Lukashenko already revealed that Russia has eyes on Moldova. If they don't take a stance now while there is peace, Romania might not be interested in Moldova being apart of their country if that means they have to go to war with Russia for it.

Afghanistan is not a country. There is no national identity in the region. What we call "Afghanistan" on a map are basically groups of tribes. The idea that America was going to somehow, go into Afghanistan, bomb the shit out of it, and then bring the warring tribes together was never on the table. We're talking about thousands of years of culture and identity. There was not a chance that was happening. Besides, even if it did,would that be considered genocide?

The technology is mature. That means the bugs have been worked out. Nuclear is the the safest technology on earth when you look at deaths per megawatt hour either in the industry or from the public. Hell, coal plant put out more radiation that nuclear plants. Literally the safest technology on earth and anyone who says otherwise hasn't read the data.
