Did Kim Jung Un start a prank channel on TikTok or something? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
So let’s get this straight. NK sends rubbish and shit in balloons over the border. SK says well we don’t think that’s respectful so we will pause any dialogue until we can figure this out. NK says that this is a fuckin outrage and sends more balloons…..Kim and Putin really did go to the same reverso school didn’t they ? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
South Korean activist groups often send balloons containing leaflets or USB sticks with Western media across the border to NK.
I think that NK is trying to be poetic or something by responding to the, in their eyes, "trash and shit" sent by SK with literal trash and shit sent in return. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

Ah yes. The fecal exchange program | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
It could turn out to be an effective precursor. It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway… Nations with less traditional military capability than their counterparts rely on all varieties of untraditional warfare. Deception is present in all conflict. And to your point specifically, appearing weaker than one is can be an effective strategy.
No clue, but… it’s not worth risking underestimation. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

So is she concerned about aid worker safety because Israel rescued hostages or because their warehouses WERE ATTACKED WITH ROCKETS BY HAMAS? This article sure makes it seem like they’re bending over backwards to blame Israel somehow. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

>I would have thought that the democratic process is more important than a group of men running round a dirt racetrack.
It not about which one is more important.
It about the threat they are exposed to due to the timing.
If terrorist attacks were a danger before the snap election, the danger has just increased exponentially.
Imagine a terrorist attack which were to push voters to one side. Imagine some countries, *coughs in Slavic*, would be too happy to utilize this. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Voters are rarely rational. They are operating off a ton of misconceptions, misinformation, and plenty of self indulgence. They aren't going to the polls based on merit and goals.
You see it all the time where the words out of a Republican voters mouth aligns with the Democrats but they still adamantly vote against their own interests. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

Or it could be that if they “develop their own” they can use them against strategic targets in Russia they’re currently precluded from using the US-made ones against. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
We do already have weapons that do essientially that, plus ones that use daylight star tracking and other systems. We just don't give the good stuff the the Ukrainians, we're mostly giving them old stock from the warehouses. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Consumer GPS units are programmed to automatically shut off if they detect they are above a certain speed and/or altitude so that terrorists or other bad actors aren’t tempted to do exactly as you describe. https://youtu.be/zPtbzJlcNKc?si=jrsKEdrEIZlWdkTo | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
But the phones would not be using their GPS. That was the whole point of using the phones' cameras because GPS is jammed by the Russians. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
While true, the issue I had was with the phrase "GPS is not as accurate as inertial," as a concept, not that inertial is always better or vice versa. In this *particular* case, seeing as the GLSDB is small, it likely has a simple but robust inertial system that probably isn't comparable to the ones on cruise missiles, making it's GPS the preferred method of guidance. Which is fine. But the idea is gps is not always the preferred method of guidance *for bombs* and inertial systems can be just as accurate as gps based systems. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Well the US would be a lot better at the ECCM game. The Russian jammers put out a lot of noise. For them to work they have to. We would be better at finding the jammers and with our Air Force we could take them off the board. Then GPS works again. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
The distinction is that some systems don't utilize GPS at all and are extremely accurate. The "IMU" is a catch-all term to describe the guidance unit of a missile. It doesn't describe the specific systems of a missile... So sure, some IMUs are gps heavy. Some use celestial navigation combined with DTED combined with visual combined with... And so on.
The point was that there are IMUs that exist totally without GPS that are very reliable, but they of course are larger and such, but my distinction/objection was against the notion that all systems utilize GPS (not all do) and that GPS isn't always better, but in fact the two can be comparable. In the GLSDB's case, gps is better, that much we know. I just meant generally speaking that isn't always the case. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

Tripled the cost? Unlikely. You don't need spin stabilized image generation. A simple ARM chip can handle the processing. It's a handful of grams. The image capture device would be heavier but not significantly affecting a 100 KG device. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

Project Pluto was apparently able to navigate using terrain instead of GPS. And that was an old Cold War project (probably for the best it never saw full development, but still). | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
I don't think Ukraine has the luxury to run a expensive and bureaucratic procurement process. They will use commercially available parts to keep costs down, as they already do with drones. Modern tech is cheap and reliable enough to be used in some kind of hacked together guidance system. Better to have 1000 precision bombs that work 50% of the time rather than have 100 precision bombs that are reliable 90% of the time but cost the same amount. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
I'm guessing* they're incorporating Starlink into their new bombs for precision strikes for said glide munitions. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Same thing with HIMARS. Both use GPS | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
To be fair, if people are using gps guided munitions on you, you'd be crazy not to jam it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
You're correct. There's so much to criticize Russia about but this ain't it. People would be slamming Russia about lack of jamming if they were getting slammed with accurate strikes. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

russia don't use gps, they have their own system called GLONASS | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
It is a GBU-39 that was retrofitted to attach to a mass manufactured rocket booster already stock piled. Cheap and quantity is its purpose. The emerging jamming capabilities of Russia has rendered most GPS guided munitions as ineffective. The guided artillery rounds that were massive successes last year have become almost useless.
The problem with the GBU-39 is that it is kind of an oddball solution. Designed for standoff capabilities, but for low intensity conflicts hence the small size. Generally you don't use standoff weapons for low intensity conflicts for obvious reasons so the weapon itself was always a bit of an oddball.
The good news is going back almost a decade there are home on jam guidance kits for them that have been tested. If those will fit in the rocket tubes Ukraine is firing them from is something I am not sure about. Though they can always be slung onto the F-16s they are getting.
The GBU-53 StormBreaker is the follow on weapon. It is essentially a glide bomb Brimstone. Radar, laser, infrared, and GPS. It is a much better, although much more expensive, weapon. But it is designed for high intensive conflicts. It is similar in size so perhaps it can be retrofitted to M26 boosters and fit inside the rocket launcher tubes as well. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
They don't make that noise, maybe if they bounced. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
The U.S will adapt and so will Ukraine. Just like how Abrams don't work plowing over minefields. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
US Weapons manufacturers have also been milking profit margins for 20 years not upgrading the tech to more jam resistant alternatives. US weapons are filled with old easy to jam components. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

If you say so... US just have/had another way of thinking about the war, they goes with spam of bombs and missiles, they don't use them 3-5 in once like Ukraine do... US will use 300... different wars, different needs... I can bet that Taiwan and China will show something else (hope this will not gonna happen), cos a lot of water... | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Credit where credit due. Imagine you are Russia getting teabagged technologically - jamming makes perfect sense. Humans are crafty even in such a cruel state as Russia. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

100s of civilians didn’t die. The death toll from the operation stands at about 250 total. When you recount what happened during the rescue mission, you will read that the idf forces encountered heavy resistance which included Granades, RPGs, automatic fire.
Not saying civilians didn’t die but a good portion of them were Hamas and I would bet a good portion of them also died from Hamas fire.
Hamas is holding these hostages in heavily civilian areas and held in apartments of civilians and journalists. This is what is going to happen during rescue missions. This can be avoided by the hostages being returned | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
I do defend Israel because that is how I feel. I sure have my criticisms but I think Israel is in a shit situation and there is no nice way of getting out of it.
You know what would’ve made sense for peace? It is the Arab countries and Palestinians accepting Israel’s right of existence. Every opportunity over the last 70+ years has been taken to destroy Israel. Every opportunity at building of a Palestinian state has been thrown away with the goal of eliminating Israel. People seem to forget that we don’t wake up yesterday and found Israel and Palestine. You know what would’ve made sense for peace? Gaza becoming a prosperous area after Israel left and building a real economy. The beaches of Gaza are identical to those of Tel Aviv. Why isn’t Gaza city a Tel Aviv? Because all efforts were taken to destroy Israel.
Unfortunately people are caught in the middle of it but when Palestinians enter Israel and massacre their civilians and kidnap hostages, you’re damn right Israel is going to respond and they’re going to respond hard. You can’t poke a bear and then cry about it.
It’s easy to have idealistic opinions about what should be happening. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
You're advocating for the death of these hostages. Every democracy on earth would make an attempt to rescue their citizens.
If you were a hostage would you want your government to decide that you weren't worth the operation it took to save you?
I don't believe that you would. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
I think he did at least know that they were going to rescue him? At least; it feels like it to me. The fact that he died so shortly after his son’s rescue.. makes me feel like the father’s heart attack was from the anxiety of the situation.
Like- either he knew the operation was happening.. or had just gotten word his son was rescued. The shock and anxiety of either could’ve induced the heart attack. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

It's their victory, because, as with Trump's election, their trolls have largely contributed to misinforming my fellow citizens. In recent weeks, even though there are no immigrants in the countryside where I live, all the winegrowers we met were furious with Arabs and Black people.
I had never seen that before. There's probably latent racism among these (mostly wealthy) farmers, but with the European elections approaching, all of a sudden Arabs and Blacks had to be eliminated as a matter of urgency. Bizarre. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
And where exactly is it defined that the mere presence of troops in Ukraine is a declaration of war? Your gut?
Because you seem to be confused as to what a **declaration** of war is. Hint: Look up the word "declaration". Words have meanings, you know? If you just throw word salad around don't be surprised if people call you out on that.
It's the same with the idiotic "genocide" calls in Palestine... | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Putin - rigs every election, removes term limits, messes with constitution, holds onto power for 25 years and likely until his death

Maybe we should take a breath and realize that marine lepen isn't adolf hitler. She's just a populist. At the very worst she's trump. I wouldn't vote for her but she isn't a true fascist.
My point is that she (like trump did in 2016) correctly identified what people want/are afraid of. She's telling them that their concerns are justified and that she will help them. She probably won't (like trump). Meanwhile the rest of the politicians, especially on the left, are telling the voters that they are dumb pieces of shit (like Clinton did). Guess who's gonna win the next election ?
The only way out imo is for the left to start seriously addressing voters concerns and propose some solutions that are neither the dumb populist ones nor pretending that there are no problems.
But
>Do you think that Hitler took power because the other option was "less attractive"?
Kinda yes. I'm by no means an expert on 1930's German elections but it seems to me that he was better at addressing the concerns of the electorate at the time, even if the "solutions" he proposed were bat shit crazy and he ended up ruining Germany in the end.
In a democracy you need to convince the voters that you're going to do what's best for them/the country. Most parties are failing miserably at that right now. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Also, this is the **EU elections**. The EU has some power (maybe potential power, the EU is very complicated) over immigration, this seems to have driven a lot of the vote. The [EU budget](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_of_the_European_Union) doesn't look like a normal nation's budget. A lot of it is farm subsidies, like a third. There is also infrastructure stuff and welfare stuff in the fund. A lot of this spending goes to a lot of the poorer EU nations (and a bunch of that goes into the pocket of Fidesz...) but France gets a lot of agricultural subsidies.
Put concisely: EU policy is specific and if there was a similar specific vote in the US you might see different political boundaries. Like if the US put various housing building regulations up for a vote you would end up with a bunch of left leaning voters voting to get rig of a bunch or zoning stuff (less government should be a right leaning policy). | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
