Smart tech is making war a dumber choice

Smart tech is making war a dumber choice https://economist.com/leaders/2026/05/28/smart-tech-is-making-war-a-dumber-choice from The Economist The coming years will surely bring new conflicts. Mr Trump, by making clear his scorn for allies, has weakened America’s power to deter aggressors. And political leaders everywhere will keep imagining that, under their brilliant leadership, the next war will be swift and painless. Yet the evidence shows that war is becoming harder and costlier; that it is easier for weaker states to hold off and bleed stronger ones; that it is easier to start wars than to end them.

By KESLS RAM
A better understanding of breasts would allow doctors to make important distinctions. Some mothers produce enough milk but have trouble releasing it. For them, the answer may be to stimulate the flow by putting the baby to a nipple more often, or by using a breastpump. For mothers who cannot produce enough, different approaches are needed. For years doctors assumed this problem was rare: that no more than 5% of mothers suffered from inadequate milk supply.
