Derp Derp. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
The Russian minefields and trench systems are so thick by now that I doubt much of a breakthrough is possible, even with the F-16s coming soon. It would take a complete collapse of the Russian military.
Ukraine's best strategy is to hold out long enough for a political shift, like a successful anti-Putin coup. If they waste too many troops on a counter-offensive, they could jeopardize that. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
>It's more effective to just bleed the Russians as they throw new waves into the grinder.
You know that Ukraine has also been struggling with shortages of soldiers and ammunition for a while now? Since we mostly just hear about the Russian losses and Ukrainian wins, we might have a somewhat distorted view on the situation. So I would say it's also questionable how long the Ukraine can keep up with the war. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
"Pointlessly"
Are you saying you want Russia to win? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Lots of western weapons won't hit most of the refineries left, they've been using basically modified airplanes with explosives for them. HIMARS on Kharkiv staging areas can still be devastating. Forces them to split them up to thin to be effective or so far back they are monitored far in advance. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Russia only has around 18 months of armored vehicles left, then they drop down to a trickle of newly produced vehicles. If ukraine can hold on russia will effectively run out of offensive power. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
lol your the one that said that, not him, he never said who would win, just that the war would end.
whether trump wins or not isn't going to change that, trump does whateva he thinks is best for america, same as any american polly, but at the end of the day he will fall in line with whateva his allies want.
just like when he said he wasn't going to take any of australia's illegal immigrants and chucked a hissy fit on the ph, than he proceeded to bend over and directly take those exact illegal immigrants that tried to sneak into australia that he said he wasn't going to take.
at the end of the day, it doesn't matter who the american public chooses, 5 eyes rules all ;) | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
I whish Russia were soon to run out of stuff and surrender but I feel like we have been hearing the narrative of Russia having run out of this and that for far too long now so I don't know how reliable such predictions are any more. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Except this time some restrictions have been removed and they can intercept and hammer logistics inside Russia. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
I mean, it was likely carried to force Ukraine to divert troops there and lock them in place. The Russians didn't have enough men to take Kharkiv, but the Ukrainians still needed to respond before the Russians made larger gains. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
When you think about it, history is made by people, and there are far more people in the world now than ever. There is that much more history being written at any moment. And this explosion of population is really only a mere second of humanity's existence. It's truly a crazy time to live. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Its not over! Once Trump wins he’ll gift Ukraine to Russia | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
I didn't think it was ever publicly said what they approved of, but I'd assume it's limited to infrastructure and supply depots that could cause maximum disruption to Russia while keeping civilian casualties to a minimum. Ukraine needs to remain seen on the side of justice, and tons of dead Russian civilians won't help thay case. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
For all intents and purposes, over. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
It's not that bad as it sounds. There are reports that average age of Ukrainian soldier is slightly above 40 years old. This is very far from "dire" in my opinion.
Second thing is that is impossible to mobilize "everything and everyone". At some point, in both people and production, you will reach a point when diverting even more resources will do more harm than good. Ukrainian budget is financed by external sources only by half - another half is financed by Ukraine. Basically, in a war of attrition, wellbeing of economy is as important as military products or number of man on the frontlines. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
And their advances only slowed down over the last month in that area. With the current rate of one "more than 10 thousand inhabitants" city per 10 months they are many years away from reaching the borders of Donbas region. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
So you're telling me that when the Taliban -- a government which was stable and self-sufficient from 1996-2001 -- came back into power, we *didn't* try to starve every Afghan to death by freezing their foreign assets?
We didn't care about them having stable and self-sufficient governments, we cared about them having puppet governments that would accede to our every wish.
"Give us your resources. We'll pay you in beads and military defense." Quite generous of us to offer to defend the resources we're taking. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
I think it will depend on how the house and senate looks.
If Republicans take control of the senate, then passing aid will be very difficult and so Putin will go on business as usual. But if democrats take back the house and keeps the senate, there is a decent chance this war will end a lot quicker, because then Putin will know he's in a bad position where for four entire years the U.S can pass aid with no one to stand in the way, which even he knows is bad news for him. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Afghanistan was the largest exporter of opium and the Taliban were making a shit ton of money from selling it. But sure, it's a big pharma conspiracy to get heroin to the masses back home. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
>We didn't care about them having stable and self-sufficient governments, we cared about them having puppet governments that would accede to our every wish.
Or, you know, not be a goverment that worked with terrorists to fly planes full of civilians into skyscrapers full of civilians. But sure, stick with your "USA bad" argument. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Just to play devils advocate here. Almost any competent moderate democrat could win this election in a landslide, but for some reason we are running an 81 year old who is showing serious signs in mental decline.
Not many workplaces that would be looking to hire an 81 year old for the most important job in the company. Both parties need to pull their head out of their ass and do what’s best for the country. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
My ESOL (English learning program in the US) teacher put it this way:
'all but over': you're waiting for class to end and it's the last few minutes of class, you've done your work, the teacher has finished, and you're waiting for the bell to excuse the class, you're packing up your school bag, it's all but over (waiting for that bell to ring so you can zoom out of there). | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

Putin and his russian army can just dig in and hold the line whenever they want, for decades. Ukraine will just become like Nth Korea's DMZ. And that's the minimum for Russia. Anytime Russia wants, they can push forward. USA has already lost. Anytime a republican president gets in, Ukraine is screwed. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

It was just decommissioned due to a massive fire, one of many fires. The engines work great, unless you shut them off, and then they don't come back on, so it often needed to be towed everywhere. It also just hardly compared to a US carrier even if everything was ever working 100% correctly. Russia took on a massive cost with this aircraft carrier and its many disasters, and got little to no return and lots of the world laughing at it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
> If it is okay for the UK to do this during WW2, why isn't it okay for Ukraine to do it now?
Ukraine doesn't even have to repeatedly defer the elections like UK because we already have a law that forbids elections in the time of war. So if Putin is concerned about our democracy, he should get his troops out first. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
I have zero sympathy for Putin but Zelenskyy is no better. Same authoritarian bullshit, different angle | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Which is such a shame. Canada has the third highest population of Ukrainians in the world, only behind Russia and Ukraine themselves. We should be a lot more supportive of Ukraine | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Yes but, you cancelled elections, took control of the media, closed churches, imprisoned and canceled political opponents, amd didn't leave office at the end of your term. You decided your own legitimacy, just like any fascist dictator would. Ukraine democracy died a while ago | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
In almost all democracies, elections are suspended if a country is at war. Britain and Norway and Finland all suspended their elections when they were at war in World war 2 | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
And Putin didn't recognize Poroshenko either, so what's the point of asking for the new elections if he is just going to sing the same song no matter what? Obviously, the point is to destabilize Ukraine and not because Putin gives a shit about legitimacy or democracy. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
>Poroshenko is the primary opposition
Well yes, if you arrest the primary opposition, whoever was the secondary is now the primary I suppose.
Not that 'opposition' is really relevant still when there are no fugign' elections though lel. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

Honestly don't know their names, but if that was the leader of the largest opposition party, sure. And being on good terms with your most powerful neighbour is probably something many would want in their potential leader, might help avoid wars that turn your population pyramid into an inverted triangle too.
But of course, when your aim is to seize power, can't have reasonable alternatives like that available for the people to elect (well, when there WERE elections), so gotta lock 'em up~ | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
>In Ukraine it's illegal to hold elections during a war
It's illegal to hold them under martial law, and parliament (with no small amount of input from El Presidente) get to decide how long to extend that.
>*"Well dang, I vote to extend the state of martial law, so I guess that means I get to stay in power lol what a coinkydink~"*
Of course they could just change the law to allow elections under martial law too, but so much effort to write a whole bill and pass it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
>So did the UK
The BUF, at its peak, got 2.9% in a 1940 Leeds by-election. But sure, "largest opposition party". | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
>The largest opposition party is European Solidarity,
Well yes, if you arrest and ban the other, I guess the next group down on the list is now technically the 'largest opposition party' sure. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

> legitimacy comes from elections in 2019
That’s where the legality comes from. Legitimacy aka support of the society aka rating comes and goes. When Yanukovich lost his legitimacy, he was overthrown by the protesters. Legitimacy can end in 1 year after elections.
A president can be legal and not legitimate, and vice versa. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

Yes and that would be a *big deal* which is why people are so interested in this case. To our knowledge bird flu has not yet developed the ability to transmit from human to human. If a strain of it gains this ability and doesn't fizzle out it could spark a pandemic. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
