It's Schrodinger's retaliation. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Right now Israel and Iran are negotiating what and where Iran’s response will be. This happens all the time just no one knows about it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Sorry, forgot the /s | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
You're being down voted for some reason but you're completely right. Dude is acting like the west just shrugs its shoulders whenever Iran attacks Israel. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Their nukes aren't likely to be actually used. They're mostly useful as a deterrent against an invasion/war to bring the regime down. Same reason why the West is so careful with Russia and Putin, instead of flat out defeating them - the fear they might go nuclear if things go bad for them. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
This whole article reads like someone writing news based on other people’s news that they don’t fully understand.
“Several reports Sunday evening indicated that Israel was expecting a major Iranian attack to be launched within days, though the military sought to downplay this by stressing that instructions to civilians were unchanged.”
Military didn’t seek to downplay anything, there was no reason to change civilian guidelines and anyone claiming differently is either panicking or trying to cause panic.
Israel didn’t reverse anything, no one ever said there wasn’t going to be an attack.
I am so tiered of the media.
Edit: they actually say in the article itself that Israel has been expecting an attack, they are contradicting themselves with that “reversed” statement | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

Stunning? Did they really say stunning about this tragic accident? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
You’re grasping at straws now, and you sound ridiculous. We aren’t agreeing to disagree; you are simply wrong and I’ve demonstrated that with numerous examples. You will continue to attempt to move the goalposts because you’re one of those people who can’t admit it when they are wrong. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
You also have to understand that it's Brazil. It's improved in air safety especially after two passenger planes crashed in 12 months, but it's not 100%. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Its a bad usage of the word in a headline. You failed to show any examples of it being used in a sentence like that, aside from a very specific usage, because it isn't! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Oh, it was terrific! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I dunno, something like “deadly” or “shocking” feels overused and clickbaity. Stunning is more like “woah, this shit doesn’t happen everyday”. This crash was definitely out of the ordinary. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Stunning - adjective - causing, capable of causing, or liable to cause astonishment, bewilderment, or a loss of consciousness or strength
I’ve heard “stunning” used quite a bit in broadcast journalism, typically used in reference to a particularly bold armed robbery or other extraordinary act of violence. You (referring to whomever reads this) may have heard the term “a stunning blow” bandied about in the past.
This was definitely not your typical air crash; were this a flat spin as it appears to be it’s unlikely the pilots could have recovered. That’s what caused the fake death of Goose in the original Top Gun and the real death of Art Scholl who went into a flat spin while filming said movie (but not that scene). | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Lmao. The usage example from fucking Oxford could’ve been used to describe the event in the OP. I then provided numerous other examples and you responded with a gold medal worthy performance in mental gymnastics and goalpost moving.

Not sure yet just how this got initiated, but they had descended to about 17k feet to approach landing I believe.
Up there, there was apparently icing which severely affected the aerodynamics.

English speaker here for over 33 years. I cannot imagine for *the fucking life of me*, that a **stunning** plane crash would have a positive connotation | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Regardless of what connotation the word *tends* to have, anyone with an adult level of reading ability is able to immediately gather from the context that this is not one of those occasions. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

They're going to dig trenches regardless of their overall plan.
- If they intend on leaving after Russia relocates its troops from areas inside Ukraine, they need to still look like they're planning to stay (so the former actually happens)
- If they intend on staying, obviously they need the defenses | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
honestly, I think Putin would rather nuke the Ukrainian soldiers in those areas, and the surrounding territories than do such a trade which would put pen to paper that he's weak. He'd blame it on Ukraine, either that they did the bombing or that they forced his hand or some other similar BS. It's not like he hasn't gotten away with lying before. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I disagree with your conclusion, but agree with your setup. Putin has to look strong. That’s his thing. No shirt off wrestling grizzly bears kinda guy. Very tough. He is so tough that nearby nations are looking for better alliances, and those alliances are with Europe and NATO. Nobody is going to Russia asking to be a partner or a protector. This destroys Putin’s image of being that tough guy who is going to stand up to the West and be some big powerhouse. The idea of NATO expansion is what really gets at him. It’s a sign that he is failing and we are winning. The fear is not a direct attack, but making alliances all around him that isolate him. He is afraid of NATO in that way. He knows he can’t do anything, for all of the reasons you stated above, so he attacks Ukraine. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

I haven't seen many experts discuss whether they think another wave of mobilization is incoming for Russia but I have a hard time believing that Russia wouldn't try to mobilize again. In order to both take back the territory they just lost as well as man the border going forward they need more men and they aren't getting nearly enough volunteers. The problem is that mobilization is deeply unpopular and the Russian economy was already struggling with loss of workers. Mobilization is probably necessary for Russia to staunch the bleeding but it's also a big risk | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

Taking a pause from pushing deeper to moving east and west. Some others in the group are rearming, bringing up equipment and supplies, or digging in.
There are tons of areas with Russian troops that can be encircled already. Might as well sweep behind them and take prisoners. Then the line for Ukraine can be straightened and their troops can be re-dedicate to pushing further north. Do that again, encircle, take prisoners and so on. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
I know most people are just memeing, but i am sometimes concerned by people who seem to think this war is 100% like a game of EU4 and that everyone bordering Russia should or will go grab land from them while theyre at war in Ukraine.
Finland doesnt want Karelia back, China likely doesnt want to make Russia hostile to it for the forseeable future for the sake of Vladivostok, and starting a war with Russia over the Kurils would likely be deeply unpopular in Japan. Georgia has unfortunately cosied up to the Russian government and most likely is loathe to have a repeat of 2008, and i dont think Kazakhstan, Estonia, or Mongolia have any interest in random land grabs filled with a population that would likely be very hostile to their presence. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
Hard to say. It's for certain that it will not happen under the current regime. It will probably require either war and/or economic circumstances to drive the country to a state of severe crisis, even more (perhaps much more) than they are experiencing now. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

>The VDV is a fucking joke that got demolished by local Kiev militia on day one of the invasion.
Did the VDV fail to live up to their über-elite reputation on the first day at Antonov Airport? Absolutely. But let’s not swing too far the other way: airborne units always get wrecked when they’re left out to dry. Happened at Crete, happened at Arnhem, and it happened at Antonov Airport.
Nor were they “demolished by local militia”; some very good units—72nd Mechanized Brigade, 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade (*established* as an elite unit trained to NATO standards), Georgian Legion, Ukrainian Air Assault Forces—were responsible for the counterattack that defeated the VDV on Day One.
And we shouldn’t forget a second VDV air assault, launched in conjunction with advancing mechanized forces on the ground, *did* capture the airport on Day Two.
The VDV aren’t invincible. They aren’t as elite as they’d like everyone else to believe. They’re much diminished from what they were before the war, but they remain very dangerous. They’re among the best Russia has left, and if you poke around a little, you’ll find Ukrainian soldiers acknowledge their capabilities and the threat they continue to pose.
Don’t fall into the trap of underestimating a foe. That’s how you get pantsed the way Russia did thrice in 2022. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |

Confirmation of Ukrainian presence in Zhuravli, east of Korenevo. Since yesterday, the AFU has stepped up offensive actions to flank Korenevo and advance north of this area. It is likely that Kremyanoe and Kalinov, which are located in the close vicinity of Zhuravli, do not hold any Russian presence.

Popular with segments of Chinese society, probably, popular with the CCP who like to use a friendly Russia as part of their geopolitical games, probably not so much. Similar with Japan, while i imagine its a popular stance among ultranationalists, given the repeated rejection of efforts to change the Japanese constitution to allow for Japan to have a proper offensively capable army by the wider Japanese public, it seems unlikely that the ultranationalist position would resonate with broader society. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-08 |
