The US lost 2.4K troops in 20 years in Afghanistan ---true. But don't forget we lost 50K killed and wounded in Viet Nam over 10 years. A disaster by any account. Russia has blown past this disaster by 10X in less than 3 years! This is an epic disaster. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Pay out death benefits?

Using a draft can replenish troops quickly - it's similar to how the US is trying to prevent birth control. It's fairly normal in a wartime environment to throw bodies at a problem and try to mitigate it: See, every war ever.
These stats presented are only "active" duty. There's other "duties" | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

I would argue with any mountain/hill and rural areas being a solid location for insurgents. Like if russia had ukraine the insurgency would have been enormous. However if Russia is pushed out the insurgency will be relatively small | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Ukraine has become Russias ‘Vietnam’ because honestly they are losing more since WWII. FYI for reference, USSR lost 8K in WWII, for reference. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
500k dead by the end of the year implies 2-3 million total casualties given the typical dead to wounded ratios. That’s the whole active Russian army plus almost half the reserves in casualties in 6 months? Does that not sound far fetched? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

The 8 hour/ workday battle or whatever nickname it got, yeah. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Yeah. The part before they joined the war. They are playing strictly defense here. They intercept any potential threat, and occasionally attack launch pads (although I haven’t heard the latter happening in the past couple weeks). They have a difficult choice to make, do they go on an offensive and risk escalation, or do they continue this strategy of defense with tactical strikes in Yemen. The cost of the former would be many thousands of Houthi insurgents + some sort of civilian death toll. The cost of the latter is whatever damage they incur + an emboldened Houthi front or more accurately an emboldened Iran.
Whatever the case may be, I see some sort of response in the following few days given that the latest round of attacks are definitely a significant escalation to the status quo of the past few months. I’d be surprised if the US and the UK aren’t planning some sort of retaliation at this moment. But who knows, I’m not military tactician, just an arm chair redditor. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

BBC works in the service of terrorists, as usual.
[Here](https://x.com/cogatonline/status/1801652581782946160) is official Israeli COGAT answering those allegations:
>A few pertinent details you forgot to mention @1James_elder:
>1. Your truck had a closed back cabin. You know this is a security concern as Hamas has used them to smuggle weapons in the past.
2. closed back cabin trucks require specific coordination. This is not new. But you didn’t bother to do the coordination.
3. At the checkpoint when COGAT officers spoke with you, you LIED and said the truck didn’t have a closed back cabin.
4. Despite all of the duplicity, we still offered to help you complete the transport, but with a different truck.

Aren't Putin's demands the same as before though? I think he just wanted to throw in some bad faith proposals before the peace summit to muddy the waters. It obviously won't work on anyone rational, but there are bound to be some muppets who'll start talking about Putin being "open to negotiations". And that's the point, I think. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Actually, the belief is that "if the side you don't like calls you or anyone else Hitler, then you consider them the loser of that exchange". Putin is a bottom of the barrel, might not waste your time on smart retorts with him and just put him down the easy way. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Azov is way down on the list of what you should be worried about after potential victory. There would still be a lot of issues like corruption, the threat of another war, political crisis, economical crisis, demographic crisis. Azov has a positive reputation because it is an elite fighting force that made big sacrifices, not because of political ideals of some of its fringe members. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Wait a second. Putin was telling everyone that Zelenskyy was the Nazi. Who do I believe is the Nazi here?

Putin demanded Russia's lebensraum. Russia is Nazi. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

Truth hurts | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
From a purely historical perspective Kaiser Wilhelm II might be a more accurate comparison than Hitler.
Zelensky is not giving a history lesson though. Given the context, and Russia's comparisons with Nazi Germany for propaganda purposes, his response is great.
> they couldn't think of anything smarter or more specific to say...
I don't like that the vast majority of historical examples people use to argue points on Reddit are about Hitler and WWII in Europe. I don't like that the only historical example of appeasement people seem to know is Chamberlain. Is it worth anyone's time to whine about this? No, and definitely not if I'm unwilling to explain. If the Hitler comparisons are exhausting to you, maybe add something smarter or more specific to the discussion. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

The ANC is very corrupt. Being in a coalition with other parties, especially the DA which has had success governing on a provincial level, may dampen that corruption. If things go well, the coalition may be able to reduce the crime, poverty, unemployment, and energy issues facing the country. If things go poorly, the coalition could collapse and the population could abandon the moderate parties and flock to the populist and extremist parties in the future, like MK, EFF, and VF+. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
As a Brit/South African I wanna clear some things up..
1. ANC, which has always got the majority, didn't this year. They got 40%. Many factors there but mainly loadshedding, crime and poor service delivery. Also covid has fucked us economically. But are led by Ramaphosa who's very tactful and dealt with the defeat well.
2. The DA, not perfect, but maintains a good track record in the areas they govern. Healthcare, infrastructure, investment etc. But are seen as a "white" party. That still hasn't really changed but voters are so tired of the ANC they're not voting for them and then in effect; giving the vote to the DA.
3. The IFP. Interesting party. More DA aligned in values. Very progressive Zulu party.
4. These three and other small parties will constitute the new government.
This is absolutely historic. I'm actually hopeful for the first time in my 20 years of living here. Most people are. The markets are doing well. The rand is doing well. We haven't had loadshedding in 4 months.
All to say. This might be a really good thing. I can't think of another African country that would do the same except maybe Botswana.
Edit: The cabinet will likely have many actually knowledgeable ministers this time from all parties instead of randoms as it used to be. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

Not very coincidentally I might add. I live in Finland and yesterday in my hometown there was a mall stabbing in which a 12 year old boy with Finnish citizenship but of foreign descent was stabbed in the back several times by a member of this group who was a 33 year old man. He tried to stab the 12 year olds friend but he ran and was apprehended by the mall security.

MAGA aren’t terrorists though. It’s only a good idea to designate people as terrorists if they’re terrorists.

When your "political disagreement" is "this demographic group shouldn't exist, groomers! Groomers! *Blood libel! Blood libel! Slur, slur slur! Blood libel!*". Then yes, that's terrorism. Genocidal terrorism at that. People don't get to terrorize their fellow americans for being different and not be called what they are: terrorists.
