Yeah, the Soviets were better situated to do what they did. Certainly Putin's Russia would collapse if it was suffering similar casualties.
As for Volumnia, I love that part so much. "And so shall starve with feeding." It warms my Anglophone heart. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |
The Russian Question is:
1) had Russia succeeded in occupying Ukraine, it would only stop at Warsaw, where a devastating NATO defeat means nuclear retaliation.
2) if Ukraine incurs a devastating defeat on Russia, Russia *might* retaliate with nuclear weapons.
3) but when Russia implodes once again into a regime change, or true federalization, or civil war, it will have no one to blame other than itself
For Russia it was always no-win. For civilized humanity only one favorable outcome. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |
it's all in the ratio lives/land, just Russians have a higher than rationally acceptable tolerance. But this is also their own undoing since Russia isn't the USSR or Empire, their demographic death was already on the horizon, and Putin just speedran it by 50 year by the folly of one man and the fascist seed that germinated in one people. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |
Those numbers were pre war estimates I always encountered when I researched the capabilities of the Russian army 5 years ago and I did so pretty excessively and sources included military think tanks. 20 k in total. 7,300 pre war is just ridiculous. Because then they already would have run in massive troubles two years ago. 12k also is simply not possible. They already lost a staggering 7k+. So are you talking about in storage or total? Because 12k in storage would render 20k in total pre-war, not that far off. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |

**Russians shelled a fire station in Kharkiv region for the second time since the start of full-scale war**
At night, Russian troops shelled a fire station in the village of Lyptsi, Kharkiv region. A fire broke out in the aftermath of the Russian attack, reported the State Emergency Service (SES) in the Kharkiv region.
>
Today, the Russians destroyed the building for the second time. According to the SES, the staff was not injured, and no equipment was damaged.

You need literally all the things to free the skies. F-16s are a big puzzle piece but still just one of the puzzle pieces. It's more important to keep aid packages flowing in continuously, and for them to be broad and deep in the support provided.

Yet again, I believe Russia is making a huge mistake in defending Crimea. This S-500 AA is the very best and most advanced that Russia has, and I think they only have 2 systems. If Ukraine manages to destroy this one Russia will be fucked. This means the battery is likely a high priority to hit, and everybody knows it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |

That would be the worst case scenario. If China would start providing substantial military help to Russia then i am afraid in the long term only West direct intervention would save Ukraine. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
The Russians north of Kharkiv were quite safe sitting in Russia and shooting over the border until they crossed that border and Western restrictions ceased to apply to them in Ukraine, while also causing the relaxing of a bunch of restrictions on attacks into Russia proper so I’m not seeing this as a win for Russia but as an opportunity for Ukraine to up the attrition rate as evidenced by the daily losses. Ukraine had no real way to build fortifications along the border as they would have been attacked during construction and if completed would have trouble defending as they weren’t allowed to shoot back into Russia due to restrictions. Ukraine really had no choice but to let them in first so the main line of defense was completed well into Ukraine and seems to be working as the Russians still haven’t reached it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |

I suspect they are majorly pissed about the hostage rescue a few days ago and maybe just doing it out of spite? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |
Sounds like a lot of those things are would be good for the people of Gaza but reduce the stranglehold on resources that Hamas has. So they rejected it? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |
It's both isn't it. It strikes me as so odd in this whole conflict that it's all black and white for so many people. In reality it's black and black.
Hamas wants the IDF to kill people so Israels reputation on the world stage is hurt. They will gladly marter their own people for it (leadership is safely abroad anyways) and try to provoke a response from the IDF whenever possible.
Israeli government uses the IDF to indoctrinate people who go into military dervice to hate Palestinians. It uses conflict to stay in power and extreme violence against civilians to have Israeli people feel like they're avenging deaths of their people and killing the ones they hate. The hatred is also used to justify the colonization efforts on the West Bank.
They both want this. Only way this would actually stop is if the hatred would go away and there's new leadership on both sides. Not gonna happen though. A cease fire might happen, but we all know it's temporary. Colonization of occupied territory will continue to undermine a two state solition and more terrorism will be the answer, followed by a response from the IDF etc. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |
Im Israeli. There the standardized education in school and army have nothing similar to "teaching to hate Arabs" or "palestinians are just targets". Finding people who do think that does not prove it came from the institution. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |

I think people just assumed my intention is that Hamas is smarter than the opposite side. It was not.

Yeah I really read your first comment like that. Is it a matter of smart enough? How could the West act smarter in this situation in your opinion? To me it seems like they get to choose between several bad options. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |
Of course. Funny how the press isn’t reporting that | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |

Israel forced thousands of Jews out, some at gun point, from Gaza. Some who had been there for centuries. So it’s exactly the opposite. They gave the entire territory to Arabs. West Bank, whole other story. Maybe you’re mixing the two.

India will not accept Yuan and the valuation changes at the whim of China. China will not accept Rupee. Russia is already stuck with Rupee, but somehow they will manage to get products (military and healthcare) out of it. India does not need to trade in Ruble as it will take Fossil fuel in lieu of it. South Africa has already sold so much Gold to China that the price of Gold has double-tripled in last 2 years.

Well…India has 1.4 billion people and 15% are in poverty, so about 210 million people. So at least some of those ppl will likely look for employment elsewhere.

I don’t give a shit if you personally attack me or not lol. I have no problem calling out naive fools that apologise for Russia. People like you are insidious.
And actually, reading back on your comments I’m starting to realise there are a lot of clues that you actually support Russia or think they have some justification for their invasion.
For example, I noticed you agreed with me that foreign forces dying is unfortunate but you conspicuously left absent an opinion on Russia forces being killed being necessary for Ukraine.
You state that Ukrainians are senselessly sacrificing themselves to defend their country and that the two nations were brotherly prior to this war which is laughable as they’d just got done kicking out their Russian controlled leaders.
Also, wanting to defend your country from being invaded and taken over is political gain? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |
It’s very telling that Russia wasn’t transparent with these conscripts. It indicates that they are struggling to find contractors and mercenaries.

I see the mask is off, so Indian leadership does care about others but anything bad related to "decadent west" is deserved ? Sounds more like schadenfreude than a policy. If you think US is not criticized of its failings then you are not following the news.
You do understand that west / EU is a very heterogeneous group of countries ? For example Germany is shutting down nuclear plants due to them not being considered renewable and safe while Finland just built more. Cutting dependency does not mean that there is no energy imported, it means that Russia cannot use it as a weapon. Given the starting point the fact that dependency was cut in a year was a huge achievement. And yes the dependency was poor policy, the politicians thought trade would ensure peace when it just emboldened Putin. Mistakes are made by everyone, the most important part is to fix them and learn from them. EU got a very expensive lesson and the dependency is gone forever.
For what it is worth I am not related to US in anyway, in fact have protested many of its actions. Whatever they have done does not change the fact that Russian invasion is wrong as is supporting it. India is yet to even condemn Russia which is the minimum expected

There are some patriots in storage which are not planned to be used by the US army (the US army are the ones lobbying against providing additional Patriots to Ukraine). Those Patriots are simply there as excess which could be used as replacement for any losses but the likelihood of needing them is very slim.
If the defence of US interests hinge upon one defensive asset then all their contingency planning is pointless. The US has multiple avenues when it comes to air defence and Patriots aren’t the only thing they can use.
Sure extra Patriots are useful but the US definitely has plans for when those Patriots are not available to defend Taiwan, South Korea, Japan or Europe. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |
>The US army certainly can spare some Patriot batteries but they seem obsessed to keep hold of the Patriots in storage even though there is no viable use for them as of yet, and even in the near future.
The ones in storage may not be export compliant. The version the US buys for themselves is more advanced and more capable than the ones they sell to foreign customers. This is typical for any weapon exported by any county: they keep the best version for themselves, and sell a less capable (but still pretty capable) version to foreign nations. This means that the domestic versions usually can't be exported until they've been "downgraded", if they can be downgraded at all.
So not only is the US probably weighing its own readiness plans here, but it likely needs to make plans to reconfigure any export-restricted hardware into an exportable version - and this will be bottlenecked by procurement.
This is probably why the US has been encouraging its allies to transfer equipment to Ukraine instead: because then it's a *re*transfer. The equipment is already export compliant, and the US can "compensate" these countries by promising to uphold existing mutual defense treaties (if necessary) until the US can deliver next-gen systems as replacements (like delivering F-35s to replace F-16s or Migs countries may transfer to Ukraine, etc) | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |
The US would not be risking its minimum readiness level by providing existing Patriot systems it has deployed in NATO nations, which is exactly what they have only started doing now. The argument is why isn’t this being done sooner.
Also when it comes to militaries like the US, they have the ability to not rely heavily on just one system for self defence. If providing a handful of Patriots that are currently not actively employed is detrimental to US military capabilities then US air defence strategies are not robust | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |
> What are these "own need". Where are they needed? To keep the Canadian geese away?
