>1. Russia's "red line" for the use of nuclear weapons has always been threats against sovereign Russian territory.
debunking this likely played a significant hand in Ukraine's strategy when they entered Kursk. given exactly this red line is now firmly crossed and no one has been nuked, I hope that we can all move past it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Downright polite about it honestly | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Russia is building his military too, their 2024 budget shows it’s military spendings have increased several times, they are planning for a long war in Ukraine and probably preparing for a bigger conflict.
Their military may be a joke now but at this pace in 10 years it won't be. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I mean nukes may work on other countries but they cant nuke themselves. If they nuke ukraine then russia is just new ukraine then they get exiled to siberia later | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

I mean Biden hasnt seemed to be personally involving himself as thoroughly with Ukraine since that was before election time so they dont have as much of the Biden handicap where any aid they receive is like some monkeys paw bullshit. Yes you get aid but so do they | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Thats kind of already happening but its not working because it turns out the internet is actually pretty well designed.

trebuchet would prob work alright eh. just flip flopping the missiles, not even launching or anything. just literally huckin a bigass missile at em from across a field | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
“Yes the beginning of WW3 was a series of small decisions which each, on their own merit, seemed like logical, moral things to do but then later when viewed as a whole added up to everyone being burned to a crisp in the northern hemisphere.” Good luck everyone. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Oh that was entirely my intent! Lol
No payload. Just a projectile the size of an ICBM through your roof. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
lol. Nuance didn’t die, it was sidelined by Russian propaganda. UKR was doing ok with its fledgling democracy before Ruzzia invaded. It’s not a binary situation like the fascists would have everyone believe. Even now they root out corruption on the reg during wartime. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
What if the rolls were reversed and Cuba being armed by Russia blew up the White House and capital building. Could you imagine the shit show to insue. Most people don’t want WW3 whether it’s nuclear or not. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Europe is fine with Ukraine using their weapons to fire into Russia.
Ukraine should just fire US weapons into Russia. What's the US going to do? Withdraw all support, cause that's terrible optics.
Even if they tried Europe would put immense pressure on the US to allow it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Nah you are just not bombing hard enough. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
The US pressured them to do this. It's now a moral responsibility as well as a strategic necessity to help them win. Not just stalemate but win. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Indeed, so why haven't they nuked Ukraine yet? Do you think it was Putin's concern for human life?
No, it is because he cannot. The red lines are fake, and ukraine showed that to everyone 3 days ago. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
you assume they have the ability to target and fire these things on their own | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I actually meant Israel Palestine. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Russia is still bombing civilian infrastructure and even homes so it is fair game to bomb Russian civilian infrastructure and residential areas.
If Hamas fires from schools, it is fair game to fire back at the schools. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
As an American, I give my full support to using our weapons and anything else you got on long-range strikes against Russia. Best use of my taxes in years. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Yes, but I do oppose the blockade that is starving babies. Also I oppose the long, drawn out "war" that prevents children from going to school. Either poop or get off the pot. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
An Internet exchange is not an entire city. Just one building. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
yeah, I think they probably sent a strong message to China that "we can hurt you". | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
After ruzzia loses the war the price we exact from ruzzia for starting it should include every single nuke they have. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
No. Use of nukes has been averted all these decades by reminding the ambitious and aggressive to fear their own actions.
You don't get to bury your head under the covers and pretend someone won't try it, if they think they can get away with it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
That all makes a lot of sense. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I don't think they need any of vatnik land. Give the region an option to be independent, free of russian oligarch influence. People may acutally take that. It also won't be Ukraine and russia border dispute later on if Ukraine is looking to join NATO. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

Why? That only causes Russia to actually declare war, open a draft, and possibly use nukes. None of that benefits Ukraine.
They need to hit military targets that cripple Russia's ability to continue fighting. Hit supply depots, manufacturing plants, air bases, etc. Things that take years and massive resources to rebuild. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

Given that Hamas calls for purging all Jews from the Middle East, I think you have it the wrong way around. If Hamas had the capacity, they would have wiped out Israel. Israel certainly isn't benevolent, but if they were as extreme as Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Syria, etc., then they would have actually exterminated Gaza and the West Bank. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
It predates the existence of Israel too. Funny how the "history didn't start on october 7th" people think history started in 1948. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
the thing is israel already stated that they will destroy hamas militarily and politically, so hamas really has no room to navigate no matter what they say | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
hamas makes impossible demands to "negotiations" in order to continue war while pretending to seek peace.
shocking i tell you. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Sure they do. There is a little thing called surrender. Israel civil courts don't even have a death penalty, not sure about the military courts but I think it was abolished after Nuremberg. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Norway just recognized Palestine, I think Ireland did. These are political victories. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
With 70% support he does.
Just like netanyahu represents israel right now. Even if this government is a failure they still represent us. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I don't understand, you said it yourself, they cannot defeat hamas without turning gaza into a wasteland, which the USA will never let them even if israel wanted to, so it doesn't matter whether israel is committed or not, realistically they just can't do it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Your timeline is off.
The Taliban offered to extradite Bin Laden to a third party well before the US bombardement started and reiterated this offer on several occasions. (Malakasian 2021).
After bombardement, but before the Invasion proper, this offer was given again.

> Though a hypothetical map where every one of Russia’s neighbors gets a chunk so nothing is left would be amazing. Canada could get a coastal strip along the arctic circle so the Northwest Passage becomes a lake.
No, thanks.
USSR offered Kaliningrad to (in order) Germany, Poland, Lithuania, following their dissolution. Literally all three didn’t want to touch that cesspit with a ten foot pole, and turned down the offer.
There’s nothing of value that Russia can offer to the world. Just build a big wall and let them stew in their own misery. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

They likely will just keep rhe attack on October 7th and keep the holiday seperate..
I guess we will find out soon .

I think it's more about buying time to gauge how much Iranians want to suffer themselves. The new US assets on the way make for a more complicated argument. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
What if Iran is slowly leaking Intel to different people, trying to find Mossad spies and that's why the date keeps being moved? Just a conjecture, seems like the smart thing to do since IDF keeps seeming to have a direct line to Iran's plans. Either that or U S Intel is just that good. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

The real question is - what is the value of doing such a thing, and is it worth the reward?
This is something only Zelenskyy can answer. He COULD withdraw a few troops from some regions in favor of a column to Moscow, then after proving his point, withdraw like Prigozhin did.
Ukraine doesn’t actually want Moscow. They need a solid bargaining chip though and an easy capture of Moscow would make the solid bitter point that Russia can’t actually defend its own territory, yet they seek to expand on it.
That weakness might embolden others to try some shit too, forcing Russia to defend on multiple fronts. At some point Moscow has to decide if holding Ukraine is more important than holding other major cities like Moscow. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I think you mean Ukraine's Kursk. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
That makes absolutely zero sense. Kursk is 350 miles from Moscow. Ukraine hasn't even reached Kursk the city itself. I want Ukraine to win as much as anyone, but foolishly coming up with grandiose plans when Ukraine doesn't have those capabilities is just wishful thinking. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
the substations, transformers and transmission lines are a much better target and will be difficult to replace | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
After this maybe Kursk will be a tourist destination for Ukrainians like Crimea was for the Russians. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
This article is by David Axe, an author who doesn’t draw conclusions, he leaps to them | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
It's not the same as holding the nuclear power plant itself.
But I also don't think it was really the target. Maybe like a wild stretch goal. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I think it's brilliant bringing the fight inside Russia. Let russia bomb themselves moving forward. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
They'll be staying alright, that's their own graves they're digging. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
They should not even do that. If they do anything to the plant, Russia will see it as an excuse to blow the Zaporizhzhia one. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I don’t think they expected this to be so easy. I don’t blame them for taking their time to sort out fresh priorities.
It’s not a matter of possibility - they could now easily repeat the Prigozhin feat all the way to Moscow. It’s a question of priorities. That Kursk nuclear power plant is a fine piece of infrastructure to hold in balance against the Zaporizhzhia power plant, which the Russians are currently trying to burn down.
OK, if Russia wants to destroy critical infrastructure in Ukraine, they can expect the same at home. But - right up the road is Moscow, poorly defended by conscripts. Actually if Ukraine can target the infrastructure that supports Moscow, Winter can do the rest. They don’t need to take the city, just cut it off from power.
All of these things are suddenly possible once the weakness of Russian defense is laid bare. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
The 2nd great Lithuanian Empires time is near! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
we were always taught “constant improvement” of defensive positions when i was in the marines, the longer you stayed in a position, the deeper and more elaborate your fighting holes got, then trenches, dug in positions for your trucks. or if you had some seabees attached they would build you a fortress | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Yes, so Russia will most likely allow Ukraine to drive all the way to Moscow. 4D chess move by putin, the master strategiest. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
It would be nice to leave some minefields and destruction on Russian soil for a change. I'd like for the US to officially allow all weapons to be used within a certain distance of the borders (maybe 150 miles.) It'll make it easier to cut off their supplies. Ideally you could keep most of the following battles in Russia without having to escalate into invading the heartland, and as the war becomes unpopular and Russians become more demoralized it becomes likelier they'll have to sue for peace. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I’m guessing they are digging in around the main rail lines they captured. It’s one of the main lines supplying the whole eastern front for the Russians. If the Russians don’t recapture it will make sending supplies from Moscow to the front lines more challenging. Remember that Russia is a centralized power. Everything flows from Moscow, commands, strategy, but most importantly supplies. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
If you support Russia just say that. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
They’re unarmed and their military is now mostly untrained conscripts. They won’t fight.
Russia as a military force has hollowed out. If Ukraine wants to punish Moscow, with 13 million mouths to feed, that huge population will become a serious liability if its infrastructure is regularly interdicted.
Or, Putin can withdraw from Ukraine. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I mean history tells us that Russia is adept at losing an astonishing amount of territory and lives while still being able to mount a defense after. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

Fire control over the E38 collapses Belgorod reinforcements routes. Evaporates the Kharkiv salient in Vovchansk while simultaneously stressing every other supply line while they enter Crimea from the Kinburn Spit from the west. Slava Ukraine. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Putin is likely unofficially the world's richest single person even after all the sanctions and Trump has years of loans/connections to the Russian underground. I don't like our odds. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Now's the time to discuss handing it back over, peacefully. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
What would it cost Russia to retake the territory Ukraine has just taken in the space of a week? It's taken them all this year to take a comparable slice of the Donbas at colossal losses, why would they progress any faster (re) taking their own territory? Honestly it's fascinating, really a 4D chess move by the Ukrainians. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Well first of all Ukraine does not have the ability to.
And Russia knows this. Secondly if Ukraine theoretically somehow did turn out to have the capability to and is actually going for it, Russia would use nukes 100%. Taking Moscow wouldn't mean trading territory, it would mean Russia has fallen. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Are they actually on russian soil, or like ukrainian soil that russia says is theirs? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
The China that has publicly changed all their maps so that the Russian names of the cities and areas lost by China now have their original chinese names?
Xi doesn't want Russia to collapse because they're useful but if it does then the Russian ones are the last of the [Unequal Treaties](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unequal_treaties) that China has yet to reverse. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
There is also the potential value of the territory they have taken as a bargaining chip in any future negotiations. It seems to me that this is absolutely huge, potentially, the Russians simply cannot just let anyone take a chunk of their territory, so what are they gonna do if they can't take it back? Now they are EVEN MORE bogged down in their "3-day operation". | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
General Winter doesn't work when the opposition are from the same area and better equipped.

They’ve pushed in 30km of ground and that’s not counting all the square km they actually gained. With how the war has been going and the losses go for hundreds of meters I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a ton higher numbers that Russia has to grind through to gain all of it back | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Holding back, because you know, who needs that Kursk Oblast and conscripts anyways? /s
Scrambling the bottom of the barrel more like, due to being caught totally unprepared. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Oh well historically yeah sure but surely not in the modern day they’re still claiming it? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I have no idea about war, is 30km a lot? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Hey there. There's nothing inherently wrong with knowing another language. You've helpfully clarified the translation of a video. You can read Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Solzhenitsyn, and Chekhov in the original language. You can communicate with people in that language in parts of many countries from Estonia to Mongolia. You can not only understand their propaganda, but potentially also produce relevant counter-propaganda. Finally, when the day comes that the war ends, you will be able to read and understand any nuances in the treaty to be able to see if the Russian text has any subtle nuances or loopholes that don't exist in other languages in the treaty, so it can be publicised and closed before someone tries to take advantage of it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
There have been small incursions into Russia by Russian national UA soldiers and some partisan efforts from inside just over the boarder but Ukraine has never taken and held territory across the international boarder. This is very bad for Russia especially now that Zelenski is campaigning for western governments to allow him to use long range strikes on Russian territory. An ATACMS missile can hit a lot of juicy targets from just the middle of the area they hold on the boarder. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Between Trump's failing campaign, Haniyeh getting blown up, and now this in Kursk, it's been a pretty bad month for international fascism.
So I guess you'll take your coping wherever you can. Don't spend it all at once though, you'll be coping a lot more in the months to come. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I think there’s a longer term point that will work in Ukraine’s favor once this attack is finished.
Russia know has to operate as if Ukraine can enter their borders, which means they need to actually man and defend the entire border. So, it dramatically extends the front-line that Russia needs to treat as “live”. That’ll be a huge manpower drain.
Any future Ukrainian supply buildups near the border will need to be treated as a potential threat, and Russia will need to reposition resources to account for it.
I think that is going to be the biggest strategic shift that happens after the dust settles on this incursion. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I knew what this had to be and wasn’t disappointed. The Hu are awesome. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I think that’s totally wrong.
Russia *may* level those villages but it’ll be a huge political cost if they do, and they absolutely won’t do it lightly.
Leveling Ukrainian villages is totally fine for Putin. Leveling a Russian village is an entirely different ballgame. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Not sure if Ukraine has the manpower and weaponry to support the current attack and retake territory in other places at the same time. But I sure hope they do. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
