The absolute pettiest power move was by the us though. Us soldiers went to clear some brush and prune trees that were obstructing vision of some border crossing. North koreans went to confront them, claimed the tree was planted by kim il sung personally and that cutting it was a great insult. Us continued, the north koreans grabbed clubs and crowbars, attacking the soldiers and workers. Two us soldiers died from this. So the us returned with full military might a day later. 23 vehicles drove into the demilitarized zone without any warning carrying 16 military engineers with chainsaws, 60 military police fully armed, readied demolition charges for the bridge to north korea and pointed the main gun of the combat engineering vehicle towards nk. Then appeared 64 fully armed South korean specops that had infiltrated the river crossing the night before, wearing claymores strapped to their chests shouting to the north korean border guards,that by now had come out to see what this was about, to come out and fight them. The entire thing was supported by an entire us infantry company in 20 transport helicopters circling overhead ready to land, aswell as 7 attack helicopters. The us also gave alert to strategical bomber squadrons from guam airbase, along with air support and additional south korean bomber units. And the us held even more artillery, infantry and engineers im reserve in case the situation did escalate.
They did all of that, only for the military engineers to fully cut down the tree unopposed, leaving only a stump that to this day still stands in the demilitarized zone | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-09-06 |
Well, jet streams are kind of in favor a North Korea here. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-09-06 |
I saw a smuggled video of a regular marketplace for normal North Koreans. There were orphans picking through trash finding bones and other scraps to pick off bits of food to eat.
It must be mind blowing to them to see people throw away untouched food because they are full. These levels of poverty and desperation are unfathomable to people not from there. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

You have to pull the pin on a grenade before throwing it so the kids would have to know what they were doing. Your point about how it "conditions the kids to throw whatever was in their hands" doesn't really apply. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

Cool, nowhere did I equate Islam and Christianity in treatment of LGBT - you literally just made that up. Just because one is worse than the other, at the moment, doesn't make the other one good. LGBT are not only unwelcome in many Christian churches, in some they are not allowed at all. They are both fucking terrible.

To be fair:
1) people say the cars blocking the road protests are the ones that don't work. They don't.
2) A year later WWI happened and UK lost ~4% of their male population. It wasn't until the end of WWI that they were (partially) given the right to vote, but men were given more rights to vote as well. 14% of the population was enlisted, so women were doing a lot more work internally as well | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

It really depends on the country. There are definitely gay clubs in Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon, , Malaysia, UAE. But there are definitely not in Somalia, Yemen, Northern Nigeria, Niger, etc. So in the most conservative muslim countries there is no worse place to be born a gay man. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

Since you're deliberately being obtuse, I'll restate the point very explicitly: any reasonable person, who is both aware of stories like this one, as well as how LGBT people are treated in Christian majority countries like Uganda, would rather be gay in Pakistan than in Uganda. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

I was raised to be all sorts of evil things. I rebelled against them and defied them all out of pure inner tenacity. By the age of 2 I rejected Jehovah's witnesses and by the age of 9 I converted my parents. I lived thru 9/11 and didn't get blinded by patriotic revenge. I could go on and on.
I think there are followers and individuals. I'm not a follower. Nurture does nothing to change my nature. And my nature is, as a naturalist, to understand. If I can't understand the reason behind why someone wants me to do something, I'm not doing that thing.
I know there are others out there like me. Trapped under evil states and evil cultures. It's not right. I want to free them. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

You shouldn't respect someone who is being an asshole to you.
But you shouldn't be an asshole to someone who has done nothing to you just because of their cultural/ethnic/religious background.
People forget that especially in the west Muslims are no different to Christians in the west in that many people will say they are Muslim but will only go to a Mosque a handful of times a year for the major holidays/celebrations and might play it up a bit more for their grandparents, but are mostly just secular.
Don't panic if you find out a brown guy happens to be called Mohammad. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Again though, it depends on context. Someone whose only experience with homophobia is their abusive Christian family doesn’t care that Muslims can be worse. As a gay American, pretty much all of the homophobia I’ve experienced and witnessed has been from Christians.
Religion, as a rule, is poison. There is no value in trying to single out a religion. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Yes. Because while people who enable tyrants are not as bad as the tyrants themselves, they are still responsible.
The truth of the matter is that I would absolutely love to take every single Muslim, Christian or Jew aside in a private room and fully educate them on sciences and the world at large, and even how it might interplay with spirituality in very real ways.
I would love nothing more than to debate them with good faith, and challenge them if they truly just want to make the world a better place but we're unfortunately unwise enough to adapt a malevolent religion even if they're misinterpreting it.
I would love to do all of this.
But I am a human being and I have a single life.
I have a choice I can make, to either kill people who would enable tyrants or to allow them to exist and allow tyrants to thrive.
The answer I choose for myself is one I'm sure you can understand under that context, no?
Tyrants aren't exactly a great thing to have in the world and the more of them we have the more sick the world becomes.
The truth of the matter is that while they were born in an area that is deeply religious, lots of people are. Yet not EVERYONE converts or even enjoys the faith.
It's also a matter of priority you know?
I'm not going to stab a Muslim to death for running a soup, kitchen, or a homeless shelter that saves countless lives, even if I think their book is trash.
However, it's going to be really hard for me to cry over mass causalities of Muslims in The Middle East who absolutely hate gay people and transgender folk.
I'm sure, I am more than sure rightous lives are in the process of war.
Because war is ugly and always brings in those who don't deserve it.
However, if I have the option to wage war against people who would see people that I love tortured or vilified simply for existing, then I will happily do so.
And I'm going to start at the top working my way down. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

Every report coming out of Gaza for the last 6 months has been reported by some independent "journalist" working as a freelancer, then having their supposedly unbiased reporting laundered by global media. The whole world is trying to hold Israel accountable based on these media reports but is utterly failing to acknowledge the impossibility of independent and unbiased reporting coming out of Gaza when the people making those reports are either actively engaged in the conflict or victims of it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-09-06 |
If they are going to name each person like that as a dead journalist then he is 100% part of them and not independent.

I see a lot of Palestinian supporters trying to downplay what Hamas did on Oct 7 and also try make Hamas look like the good guys. This is absolutely not acceptable. I want Palestinians to be free and have justice, but that is absolutely impossible as long as Hamas and their supporters have power.

It seems like you're trying to boil it down to "the only people they killed were involved in the hostage taking" but it wasn't an entirely precision operation, they killed like 100 people and bombed the entire area this happened in and an unknown number of random civilians were killed as well (the IDF specifically said they don't know how many civilians they killed). | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-09-06 |

Love the classic it didn’t happen and even if it did it dosen’t matter. I cited the death count claim, here is the source for the perfidy claim straight from the times of Israel. Personally, if I wasn’t educated I would refrain from offering my opinion. Also there’s no way you are claiming a refugee camp of 85,000 that only exists because Israel told them to go there because they want to indiscriminately bomb Gaza shouldn’t be classified as civilian in nature. Lastly the same tired Hamas started it argument, this assumes this conflict began on October 7th which is just wildly misinformed. This argument is also made even more ridiculous when you understand that Hamas is only in power instead of the PA because Israel funded and propped it up to ensure there wouldn’t ever be a two state solution. For this claim I have supplied another source from the times of Israel as well that actually came out on October 8th. Please educate yourself on this issue

I’m going to approach this in bite sized chunks here. First, I know LOAC and the Geneva Conventions- I’ve had an education in it multiple times over 9+ years as a requirement of my (former) work.
I was not aware of a claim they used aid trucks. Per your source it reads “Eyewitnesses tell Asharq that beside the disguised troops, other special forces snuck into the Nuseirat camp inside an aid truck. The IDF has denied using humanitarian transports for the operation.”
This is a case of counter claims. You and I have no way of verifying it true either way. It’s possible it happened, and there are easier cases to prove the IDF failing to obey law. There’s no argument they’ve crossed that line. But there’s also examples of HAMAS using deception to pin blame on the IDF as well. The hospital bombing back in November was an excellent example of that.
And of course this didn’t begin on October 7th, this goes back decades. But currently this issue we are discussing is because of October 7th. Raping, murdering, and kidnapping civilians is unacceptable- and that’s what happened. Hamas has in the past murdered civilians on multiple occasions, most notably what happened on April 22, 1979. I can accept a long struggle for independence, and wars that result from such a thing- as an American that’s how my country was formed. But terrorism of innocent civilians is never acceptable. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
If you don’t mind, I’ll pretend I’m in Israel’s shoes.
If we’re just talking about leaders and hostages, I would say I would feel justified running special ops on foreign soil; to neutralize/capture leaders and free hostages. I don’t know about bombing.
If we’re talking about an actual strong military presence entrenched in that country, I think I could collect the support required to justify a precision bombing campaign, and ground presence.
I’m not an expert, and I think there are many vectors, but I don’t know how to prioritize them against each other.
What about you? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Yes, I read the article, did you?
It says “The only Al Jazeera article attributed to him, as a co-author, is an opinion piece titled ‘Tales of torture from Israeli prisons’ published in 2019”.
I don’t ascribe much signficance to Al Jazeera saying he never worked for them for obvious reasons but, unless they have scrubbed their archives, having only a single article published on a platform is pretty telling. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Pointless. They'd be pointless. The Geneva conventions has nothing to do with justifying killing innocents. They aren't going to prevent death in wars. If all you're trying to do is cast a moral judgement about killing people during war then I don't think you're going to accomplish much of anything. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

No, morons. They were NOT civilians. At least not all of them. There were a bunch of Hamas fighters, a bunch of hobby-terrorists and hostage holders, and a lot of supporters who were complicit. Probably also a few actually innocent bystanders. I wouldn't at all be surprised if they were the minority. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
