#DYK War zones are breeding grounds for drug-resistant infections. Gaza, Syria, Yemen, Ukraine: collapsed health systems + chaotic antibiotic use = antimicrobial resistance exploding. Militarism isn’t just killing people. It’s killing the medicines that could save them.

CCTV has a montage of cute small children watching the military parade yesterday, netizens saying this is "the best patriotic education."

There really isn't any national security topic state media hasn't tried levering cuteness into to make it more appealing.

"This matters because children are themselves a vulnerable group, with few individual rights, and little autonomy. ... When we treat dislike for vulnerable humans as a personality quirk, a temperament issue...we set the stage for a society that abdicates its duty to care for the next generation."
