This is dumb as shit. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
I'm not suggesting field executions are something we should return to, only pointing out how grave a crime perfidy actually is under international law. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Looks like he is looking at the first Geneva Convention:
> Convention (I) for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field. Geneva, 12 August 1949.
> Article 3 - Conflicts not of an international character
> (1) Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed 'hors de combat' by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria.
> **To this end, the following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons:**
> (a) violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture;
> **(b) taking of hostages;**
> (c) outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment;
> (d) the passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgment pronounced by a regularly constituted court, affording all the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples.
That said, considering the article itself is for "conflicts not of an international character", one COULD argue that it doesn't apply here. In that case, resort to Geneva Convention IV, Article 34
> Article 34 - Hostages
> The taking of hostages is prohibited. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
you can't just wish the world a better place and ignore reality, the only way to fix that whole region is to literally clean slate the region, dissolve both states and have a managed democracy for like 20 years | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
"The dozens of non combatants targeted by hamas"?
Laughable except it's not funny
Replace dozens with millions because if you haven't been paying attention Hamas rockets target almost exclusively population centers in Israel?
Who does hamas target with rockets? Mostly Civilians.
Who did they rape, murder, take hostage when they invaded?
Almost exclusively Civilians.
And many more than a dozen. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
And yet when I called them out you got offended and said "bad faith take". If you're protesting side by side with hamas supporters... you're a hamas supporter. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

Bold to start a race when your adversary has a 60 year head start. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-09-06 |
The 9 dash line appears to date back to the end of WW2. Turns out Taiwan has an [*11* dash line](https://www.jstor.org/stable/resrep32231.11?seq=1). Add to that the competing claims of [Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia](http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_disputes_in_the_South_China_Sea), you have a true shitshow.
> Following the defeat of Japan at the end of World War II, the Republic of China (ROC) claimed the Paracels, Pratas and Spratly Islands after accepting the Japanese surrender of the islands based on the Cairo and Potsdam Declarations. However, the terms did not specify ROC sovereignty over the archipelagos and surrounding waters.
> In November 1946, the ROC sent naval ships to take control of these islands. When the Peace Treaty with Japan was being signed at the San Francisco Conference, on 7 September 1951, both China and Vietnam asserted their rights to the islands. Later the Philippine government also laid claim to parts of the archipelagos.
> Taiwan and China have the same claims and have cooperated with each other during international talks involving the Spratly Islands | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

A lot of the scammers are from Nigeria so you're not that far off | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-09-06 |
Exactly this is what I was thinking as I read the article. The kid in the first part of the article committed suicide because the scammers threatened to share his nudes to his friends. If we had just put it in the kids head here that there is nothing to be ashamed about in this situation (no, im not advocating for child pornography here but simply the opposite of shame in nudity or at the very least confidence in body image), there never would've been a reason to commit suicide in the first place. If the scammers had threatened to share my nudes to my friends in my teenage years for example, I'd have simply responded that I'll race them to it.
I luckily learned that there's nothing to be ashamed of in nudity early on in life (something that most Americans have issues with for some reason), this young man unfortunately didn't. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-09-06 |

...are you blaming Israel for the War in Iraq?
They (Sharon, the PM, and their entire security establishment) were literally against it and urged Bush not to do it because they feared it would emboldened Iran.
That Netanyahu, at the time a private citizen not in government, advocated for it doesn't mean Israel as a country wanted it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-09-06 |
What if Israel just decides they've had enough, goes full Samson option, and nukes Tehran and to hell with the consequences? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-09-06 |

Posting for future reference: I had a design that utilized this satellite behavior and setup as an infiltrating force, essentially a bucket chain that would bring a nuclear device through Mexico into the United States using mules and coyotes, from an upstream Russian / 2nd World entity. My description was based on disdain for US Middle East and Latin American style proxy wars. Most recently we see a repeat of a proxy war with Ukraine (remember 2014?), and a mention of Russian ships approaching Cuba, both from the previous design.
At the time of writing it was due to pessimism regarding globalization and capitalism having no specific interest in the United States or democracy. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-09-06 |

My dude, back when I used to work active and live secret squirrel stuff, our orders to field sites were kept secret and unpublished. Every Christmas all the new reports would get called out by name in a fax sent from our “traditional adversaries”. Virtually nothing is secret anymore about this kinda stuff thanks to the military dropping the ball and losing all of our info to China anyway.

Niger has Africa's highest-grade uranium ores, with the ore containing about 0.07% uranium. Priced at around USD130 per kilogram, the total cost must have been approximately 39 million dollars. Not a small purchase at all. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

Libertarians pretend they can run governments then they ruin it for everyone. Get rid of that trash Milei. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Things will get better for Argentinians when they get foreign investment that isn't Chinese handouts, and have a financial system built on trust and a free market, not nepotism and goverment controls that don't work. Most people there don't even understand how banks work since banks loans don't work there (interest rates are over 90%). I'm not saying Milei can't do stupid things also, but as beautiful of a place as it is, Argentina is in ruins economically. Milei is not the cause, but the reaction to the mess. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
The basic problem with your argument is that Milei is not a populist. At all. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
I’m no anarcho-capitalist, but the other realistic option is printing money until you end up in the same scenario they are painting. Budget and trade surpluses at least have a reasonable chance at sustainability on the other side of the current difficulties.

>Why is always black or white? Argentina could slowly rebuild without drastic consequences
I see you don't know much of our recent story, it's okay no one can know the story of all countries so let me fill you in, we Argentinians already tried a gradual approach to fixing our deficit with the previous government, where Macri reduced the deficit at the rythm of 1% per year instead of all at once.
The results were disastrous because he wasn't allowed to do basically nothing and faced constant protests. And despite that the economy was showing signs of improvement he was rage voted out before the small reforms he passed could take effect.
So a slow approach is politically inviable in this country.
>populace with Keynesian economic policies for the first few years
We ARE applying Keynesian economics. The objective of the current fiscal surplus is not fiscal austerity despite what the Peronistas say, our surplus is a meager 0.2% of the GDP.
The objective of the surplus is to give credibility to bonds to absorb Pesos and reduce inflation short term.
Milei has doubled direct welfare for vulnerable people, and the surplus has been used in social policies. Pensions haven't raised because the Peronistas blocked the reform that would've indexed them to inflation, so Milei had to change it by decree, and now a lot of pensioners are seeing their income increase.
>The consumers. If they no longer have employment, then their bills won’t be paid, and they won’t have any cash to pump into the State.
Consumers haven't had actual employment in this country for years now. This country has almost as many public employees as private ones, and in some provinces private employment hasn't grown in years. And it cannot grow due to excessive and corrupt regulations and the huge taxes we have, which are among the biggest in the world.
>but ultimately, the people will see him as a dictator wearing a different mask and bad hair.
The only people here who sees the most voted President in history as a dictator are Peronistas, but for them everyone who isn't them is a dictator, so literally no one believes them. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

I hope 1 is not Noa’s boyfriend also captured — | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-09-06 |
Yeah, but they're not going to do that because part of the audience for this message is the families of the remaining hostages who have been begging Bibi to agree to a ceasefire to try to push their desperation over what could be new hope. Morale in Israel just took a *huge* boost from what looks like an overwhelmingly successful operation and Hamas' wants to temper that. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-09-06 |
It's to make Israel look more incompetent in the rescue mission that otherwise looks successful.
My other thought is that it allows them to admit hostages that were already dead are dead and pin the blame on Israel. Obviously most rational people would blame the hostage takers as the one's at fault but there are enough useful idiots that will carry water for them and claim that Israel "has killed more hostages than they have rescued" even if the most likely cause of death was Hamas themselves. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-09-06 |

But you can say the exact same thing for the other side?
"Nothing else has been happening that caused Israel to do what they do."
The blockade around Gaza is due to the constant rocket fire and attacks that happen since they came into power... | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
I'm glad you at least understand that this didn't start on Oct 7th but all you need to do is look at the land Israel have taken from Palestine and israel's green projects (building over historical palestinian villages) selling of West Bank land in closed door Jewish only auctions, and the plans for the new beach properties in existing Gaza to know what Israels true motive is, and why Gaza might have something to say about it
Everyone acts like gaza just does it because they randomly hate Israel... Literally every single attack hamas has done can be traced back to being a reaction of something Israel is doing, the time before this was because Israelis was selling West Bank land and kicking out palestinians who lived there with no right to return. A luxury however that is afforded to Jewish people across the world who don't even live in Israel. But Palestinians face an ever increasing loss in land share with no way of getting back the land they currently still live on
Maybe the blockade is for that reason, but why was gaza even attacking Israel at that point? For fun? Are you naive?
And what was Israels excuse before hamas came into power? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Israel is also interested in getting dead hostages back for proper funerals. So they're still a bargaining chip | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
