But Russia’s nuclear arsenal is still large enough to destroy its enemies several times over. Regardless of Moscow’s failures in Ukraine, any threat to resort to its 6,000 nuclear warheads cannot be dismissed out of hand....

There may have been no landmark breakthroughs following their talks in Geneva on Wednesday, but Russian media noted the significance of the first meeting as leaders whose countries face deteriorating relations.

As reported on by German newspaper Die Welt, and translated by Ars Technica, Volkswagen board member Thomas Ulbrich mentioned that the company will offer video games in its cars, such as short 15 minute experiences which can be played during charging breaks.

From clothesline tackles to helmet-to-helmet hits, the eighth-year Raiders linebacker, who spent his first seven NFL seasons with the Bengals, has done it all. On Monday, the NFL sent a strong message to the 29-year-old by suspending him for the rest of the 2019 season as a result of his latest questionable play, a helmet-to-helmet hit delivered to Colts TE Jack Doyle. It is the longest suspension for an on-field act in NFL history....

When someone receives their release from WWE, they are usually unable to work for another wrestling company for the next 90 days. For example, WWE released Bray Wyatt on July 31, which means he cannot work for another company until October 29. Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Dr. Chris Featherstone, Russo recalled how Steven Regal (a.k.a. William Regal) once successfully removed a non-compete clause from his contract. He believes recently released WWE Superstars can also work around the contract clause if they are willing to challenge WWE....

Posting a video of the aftermath of the Thursday strike, Zelensky said. “Rocket strikes in the city center. There are wounded and dead, among them a small child.” Writing on Instagram, he continued, “Every day, Russia destroys the civilian population, kills Ukrainian children, directs rockets at civilian objects.

What is this, if not an open act of terror?” Vinnytsia, which is located far from the front lines of the fighting, was hit with one of the deadliest single strikes on a civilian target since the war began on February 24....

It was a remarkable turn around by Vipasha who had struggled to get on board in the opening set. “I don’t think I even got five points in the first set.

Robertibus, who posts under Rob, was believed to have been vacationing with his other half, Nat, their baby and the dog, when curiosity got the better of him.
