Falklands = deep cut.
Of course, the dog-wagging of Galtieri was considered asinine by the international community. It was a foregone conclusion that London would take back the islands, because you can’t let a shoddy dictatorship push you around…Even if it is over less than 1m tons of sheep scattered across a rock near Antarctica. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
And how did that work out for them? I mean for Argentina, back in those days there were really big technological gaps between armies as well as strategical. I don't even know how russia would maintain it's status without nukes, Britain could, tho I don't know NOW.

I wonder if it would be worth having some guys go around the country and put slight bends in the tracks here and there to increase the wear rate. Just drive up to a random bit of track when no one is there, use some tool that pushes between the tracks like a big car jack, put a few pumps into it, enough to fuck with the track a little, not so much so that anyone would bother to replace it. Do that here there everywhere. Make the tracks just worse for the trains, wear them out faster. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

Setting aside whether they can return to combat or not, it matters because a huge portion of the information coming out of this war is propaganda. Clearing up these kinds of misconceptions help prevent the "But I thought 600k Russians have been killed, if Russia can keep fighting with those losses they'll never lose!" sentiment that sometimes shows up and reduces the "Why are we still giving aid, Ukraine seems to be doing just fine?" line of questioning/propaganda as well as makes sure people have a more accurate understanding of what's going on.
You fight propaganda with facts, not by letting people continue with misunderstandings. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
it's the 81. Mechanised battalion that's conducting this operation
this is *the* unit that freed Kyiv in the first days of the war, these people have already given everything for their country for years, even before the invasion and the thought about going home just isn't there until this war is over | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

Putin will now have to up his game by invading new countries in a “beat this” high score attempt. Soon we will be able to build either a league table or a world tour poster. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Great, maybe the security council can agree to send peacekeepers to Ukraine to end the war. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Training and sobriety also help in using equipment effectively. Two things that russians seem to majorly lack. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Will it make any difference? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Well, not to spoil it but Britain won. UK's main issue were logistical, since they were fighting so far from home. However they had a major technological and training advantage, especially since the Argentinian forces were heavily composed of young forced conscripts.
To give some contextual examples, Argentina had around 240 planes (although about half were based along the Chilean border), while the UK brought just 26 Harriers with their fleet. The Falklands War is also the only ever recorded kill by a nuclear submarine, when the British HMS Conqueror sank the Argentinian battleship the General Belgrano. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
It's such a shame he is never close to any windows. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Europe send a lot of our equipment to Ukraine, US focus is now divided on which China could capitalize in Taiwan(economic blockade). Still we should probably send more to Ukraine though to defend our Eastern European allies. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
They could have joined the European Union, become fabulously wealthy and been a global superpower. Their size would have meant they'd also be firmly in the driving seat. Instead they've opted to starve their people and be an international embarrassment. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Not really the right take. What this war has proven is that the way we used to fight wars is now largely irrelevant because of how cheap drones are destroying this expensive equipment. It’s completely changed the way wars are fought, and many have been screaming this was the case for years. There is the case that Russia training/readiness was complete shit, but their actual weapon systems are useless when a $500 drone can destroy a $30mil system with impunity. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Speaking of NATO. This sounds like an excellent time for NATO to conduct some large scale exercises along the border between Finland and Russia. Something big enough that Russia would need to send troops to the area in response. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
> Russia will have a tough time accepting they are as vulnerable as their neighbors.
It's all thanks to the nuclear deterrent. Nuclear powers almost completely forget that these small guys exist because it's all about MAD, so who in their right mind would invade? We learned a similar lesson on 9/11.
The question here is where is the red line actually at? Like us, Russia claims it has the right to use nuclear weapons to defend its sovereignty, and regardless of if you support Ukraine or if you support Russia, that sovereignty is being threatened. Hopefully he just keeps making empty threats. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Like the real Putin has been outside of a remote bunker since 2020. It's known that he has multiple doppelgangers and he probably don't trust anyone enough to travel anymore. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

>But let's say it was a 10 kiloton that impacted 5 miles of Russian territory only. Russia would need to explain to its citizens why it just irradiated the area into the foreseeable future
Besides the point a bit but the area would be completely habitable within weeks. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I know how it went down, that was a sarcastic remark, but the point stands, warfare IS changing for the worst, as well as the general publics split between radically supporting war and the other is total indifference. With no middle ground. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

Those numbers also include anyone who got surrendered and are held by Ukraine, wounded who got an arm blown off or something similar and managed to get sent back home to Russia for care, or even just the ones who went missing. The meme above talks about the ones who specifically died, which last I checked was estimated to around 140,000 to 170,000. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
The original Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 always struck me as being super realistic at the time.
Now I find the idea of Russia invading the US in any capacity at all to be hilariously far-fetched.
Like seriously the plot to 'Olympus Has Fallen' with North Korea taking on the White House genuinely seems more credible today... | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Yeah, it's not North Korea so outside information isn't 100% blocked by the government. Many really do choose to believe the news sources they are fed while thinking everything else is a ploy from the west. They're indoctrinated for sure, but definitely not blind to the world | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

What a nonsense. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I watched the British Army's documentary on the Falkland Islands and the military leadership all spoke very highly of her especially in regards to that operation, and resisting public pressure to pull back to a delay and/or a much less aggressive operation. Bombs, blockade, etc.
That may well have been biased too but a bunch of flag officers were saying how it seemed inevitable their invasion plans would get yanked and if that happened all the other options were trash, and the fact Thatcher green-lighted them and the rest of the plan went brilliantly, and she also showed a great deal of concern and personal responsibility for those killed and wounded, writing letters and making phone calls, visiting the hospitals regularly, etc.
>the mindless drones who never read the book atlas shrugged”
I mean you're bringing her economic policies into this which I'm not defending at all.
It just seems to me that she acquitted herself very well in the war, and given the global resurgence of fascism, the fact that she helped set it back 20 years should perhaps be viewed more favorably by us on the left, instead of dismissing it as insignificant or an easy win or something she had no hand in, because of her bad economic policies and effective antagonism of liberals. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

Russia heavily relied on imported Swedish and American bearings for the cassette bearings their trains run on. All three plants that make the cassette bearings relied on imported parts.
The ball bearings are surprisingly hard to make. You need really good metallurgy, really precise machining, heat treatment, monitoring, quality control... Things that they can't just build from scratch in a couple of years. Anything they can make now or import will be of much inferior quality. They also can't import the lubricants or sealants that they would normally use, leading them to use inferior chemicals which further shorter lifespans.
They already have fewer and fewer trains running, and have been having more derailments than before.
It probably won't be an "all at once" thing where suddenly no trains can run, but even a 10-20% reduction in rail capacity is huge. It creates delays in every subsequent step. You can't get materials to factories. You can't get products from factories. You can't get people, food or fuel to the front lines. It is a military heavily dependent on rail, at multiple levels.

this is a brilliant play by Ukraine, now if they want to talk peace and Russia wants to keep what they took, so can Ukraine. Kursk has a pipeline and Nuclear reactor, if Ukraine holds those it will wipe a lot of money out of Russias war chest.

**what reserve units?**
The Russian national guard, border guards and Chechens have either surrender or fled from the area.
They have no reserves inside Russia at this point. It’s almost all in Ukraine. It’s only a matter of time before they pullout of Kharkiv to respond to the offensive in Kursk.
Even in the Russian report subreddit, you can see the panic the Russian people and troops are going through right now.
Meanwhile, the Russians can’t even advance beyond avdiivka in any meaningful way. The Ukrainians have taken 2x more land in Kursk in 6 days, then the Russians have taken in **6 months* of fighting. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
