Fast Golf Face-Off! (2026 Volkswagen Golf GTI vs R Comparison Review)
Times have certainly changed for the Volkswagen Golf GTI. Once a value hero with a driveaway price in the mid-$40K range, it now demands a price of just over $70K over the road, once you tack on the many extras that many fans would deem mandatory.
The gap to the full-fat R at almost $80K has never been closer and has collected a fan base all of its own – and for very good reason, thanks to its rocket-ship-like straight-line performance and now, excellent cornering dynamics.
But the Mk8.5 GTI has recently fought back to address some key criticisms of the previous Mk8 and is now armed with more power than ever before.
In today’s comparison, road test editor John Law puts both under the microscope to find out if the GTI is still the king of the Golf range, or if the R now officially wears the crown.

Ukraine War BROKE Russia... Putin FORCED to Do the UNTHINKABLE
Putin never imagined his invasion of Ukraine would push Russia to the edge of economic collapse. But after nearly four years of grinding war, the Kremlin is now breaking its own financial taboos. Russia has begun selling off protected National Wealth Fund gold reserves just to keep its war machine running. This move signals desperation at the highest levels of power. But what happens when the gold runs out? And what comes next?

The MOST Dangerous Food for the Gut
Did you know that one of the most dangerous foods for your gut isn’t dairy at all? A lot of people avoid cheese and dairy because they believe they’re allergic, when in reality many of them aren’t. The real issue for many people may come from a completely different source.
In this video, we reveal the #1 food that can disrupt your gut, weaken digestion, and trigger inflammation for some people. This food contains gluten, a group of proteins found in bread and many processed foods, which many bodies struggle to break down. If you’ve experienced bloating, gas, stomach discomfort, or digestive issues, this might be the reason.

Russia SHOCKED As Ukraine DEPLOYS Never Before Seen UK Weapon
Ukraine’s air defenses just got a major boost with the deployment of the UK’s Terrahawk Paladin, a cutting-edge counter-drone and short-range air defense system. Now operational with the 156th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment, the Paladin combines mobility, AI-powered targeting, and a 30mm chain gun to protect critical infrastructure from drones, missiles, and low-flying aircraft. This latest addition is a game-changer in Kyiv’s ongoing fight against Russia’s aerial threats.

Subcutaneous fat is the fat stored just under the skin. Visceral fat surrounds the organs. This type of fat is unhealthy and inflammatory, often related to insulin resistance. Liver fat can be eliminated in a matter of days or weeks.
Fat on the inner thighs is the most difficult type of fat to get rid of. This fat is not just superficial; it’s woven inside the muscle fibers, similar to the marbling in Wagyu beef. Muscle deteriorates and is replaced by fat and scar tissue. Stem cells that make muscle cells are lost, resulting in fewer contractions, less ATP, and more insulin resistance in the muscle.
This abnormal accumulation of fat in the muscle is called myosteatosis, or intramuscular fat. This fat must be burned locally! As you begin to address this problem, you may not initially lose weight or notice a visible change, because the change occurs at the cellular level.
For inner thigh fat loss, focus on repairing damaged muscle cells, rather than simply losing weight. Strength and decreased appetite will signify that you are improving.
The root causes of intramuscular fat are the following:
•Inactivity/sedentary life
•Insulin resistance
•Inflammation
•Aging
For the most inner thigh fat loss, try the following:
1. Eccentric exercises
2. Walking
3. Sprinting/HIIT
4. Two meals per day/low-carb diet
5. Increase key nutrients: magnesium, vitamin D, and omega-3
6. Get plenty of sleep
7. Periodic prolonged fasting
8. Cold plunge/shower

The MOST Dangerous Sign of a B12 Deficiency
Most people only associate low B12 with tiredness, anemia, or tingling nerves—but these are often late-stage signs. The most dangerous symptom can begin silently and affect your brain, memory, mood, and nervous system long before traditional symptoms show up.
Vitamin B12 plays a critical role in producing and maintaining myelin, the protective coating around your nerves and spinal cord. When your B12 levels drop, this myelin sheath can slowly deteriorate. Over time, this can contribute to neurological changes, cognitive issues, balance problems, and other symptoms that are frequently mistaken for unrelated conditions.
This video breaks down the #1 overlooked sign of a severe B12 deficiency, why it’s so dangerous, and why millions of people worldwide are at risk without knowing it.

Ukraine’s War Just EXPOSED China’s Military WEAKNESS
China’s expanding arsenal looks formidable, but history, corruption, and untested technology raise doubts about its true military strength. From parade-ready weapons with uncertain capabilities to deep systemic failures within the PLA, recent revelations suggest a force that may not match its image.

"Russian is NOT a Slavic language"
Learn like a local with Lingopie! 7-day free trial + 55% OFF yearly plan: https://learn.lingopie.com/nfkrz3
Slavic languages are awesome, and as a native speaker of Russian I've made a lot of videos about Slavic languages and compared them to my own. However, every time I make these videos I always get comments saying that Russian is NOT Slavic and is actually Turkic or Finno-Ugric. Some people even say that Russian is a FAKE constructed language. But is it true? In today's video we'll talk about the myth of Russian not being Slavic and discuss how Slavic languages work, as well as talk about why some people want Russian to not be Slavic. Enjoy!
