2014. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
You ever hear of the Nazis? Or the Bosnian genocide, or The Killing Fields of Cambodia?
Or are you too young and ignorant to know anything about history beyond what Tiktok taught you last week? These, and others, were real genocidal events. Not when a demographic nation attempts to rescue its hostages and secure its survival. 🤦🏻♂️ | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Oh, I see what you are getting at... ya, that kinda fits with the UN convention. Like if you forcefully indoctrinate a ethnic minority of Muslims to all become Catholic. But for genocide (in its exact definition), the killing is not metaphoric. It would be if that ethnic minority of Muslims was literally massacred. Sadly in our history, said massacres were common enough that we needed a word for it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

They have always been under scrutiny. You just have to be looking for truly unbiased and fact based media reporting. r/canada is finally starting to show some backbone on these issues with them but is still heavily brigaded by right-wing idealogs and post-media spam accounts. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Currently there is no law allowing a proper RCMP investigation. They do not have access to the intelligence and the liberals are in no hurry to resolve that problem.
There will be no actions taken to secure the government. The motivation why is also unclear but suspicion abounds especially in light of the Trudeau foundation. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

We all assume our ancestors drove the mammoth to extinction. My theory is that they must have tasted delicious. They must have been a really risky animal to hunt. Much safer to hunt a moose, or deer, or elk,or woodchuck, or any other non-extinct North American animal. In my fantasy theory they walked past all these animals and instead chose mammoth. Why else would they take the risk? Consequently, I want to taste fresh mammoth meat. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Yeah that would be GREAT for the ecosystems. This is the worst take I've ever seen regarding mammoths. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
I mean its a fun idea but global warming doesn't seem like it would be very friendly to mammoths | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

Countries were pissed off with Zhao for optics. Behind the scenes they still communicated with him and did business with China just fine up until they realized it wasn’t politics, it was real.

As an avid durian lover I can't imagine how someone can perceive the smell of durian as sticky. To me it smells very sweet and fruity, I think people's perception of certain smells are inherently different. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
You cannot be another ethnicity ‘by marriage’. You can certainly amass knowledge and appreciation through marriage and should but it’s not an identity you take on through marriage. I know this was said in a joking manner and I’m not taking it as seriously as something truly problematic but I’m inviting you to reconsider making this ‘joke’.
You could literally say this but change it to, ‘and I’m married to a Vietnamese person!’ and still convey how you don’t like durian just as well. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Though it is absolutely delicious | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
I think there’s also a genetic component to being able to smell durian and think it smells good. There’s also different varieties with varying scents if I recall correctly. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Well, it is news because if you read the stats in the article its popularity has increased a lot. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
If anything, you've understated how poorly they smell. But they do seriously taste amazing. There's an excellent recipe floating around online for homemade ice cream using durian fruit that is a fantastic alternative to vanilla. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Jackfruit is nice, another cousin is breadfruit. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

I'll have to keep that in mind! I don't get durian often, but I will save a bit for a stew next time.
Thanks! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
I'm late 30's and did the year abroad thing twice and also saw a bunch of countries when I lived in Sinai and Thailand for work (I'm in accounting but very specialized). I'm behind my peers in terms of salary and jobs, but I don't care, I've seen much of the world. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
There's a few applications for durian that not only mask the negative aspects of the flavor, but allow the good to enhance.
Because durian has an oniony and turpentiney flavor, stuff that has onions and wine can take advantage of the durian's eggy creamy custardy flavor. And the heaviness of beef blocks out the BO-ness.
You can do a similar thing with seafood jjampong. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

The problem is is that we would have better Intel if things weren't so fucked up with Israel and hamas. Jordan, Israel and Egypt were our best sources of Intel (in that order) in that part of the Middle East. Jordan was one of our best sources of quality Intel post 9/11 but not in the last couple years and Israel isn't playing nice these days with us. Netanyahu is playing politics with Intel sharing and the US so sooner or later we're going to have to escalate. I would if I could but I'm a little too old to be boots on the ground these days. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

No offense to the pope but...
>Pontiff says machines should never be able to decide whether human beings live or die
With his age, he definitely is an "old timer". Seriously, machines aren't the ones inflicting casualties, it's still humans! Almost all weapons used in conflicts(Even loitering drones) are still operated by humans!
Also, not really helping my view of this pope when he also just wants Ukraine to surrender! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
While I can't speak for others here, let me just state my "opinion" the Pope's statement:
Old timer pope here is detached from reality because even with the advent of supposed "autonomous weapons" used in conflicts, humans are still the ones operating those(thus, are the ones "deciding" on the human lives part, not the machine itself).
And lastly, this is the very same pope that wants Ukraine to just surrender to the Russians!
And if you're wondering, I'm also Catholic! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
>Not sure what you’re responding to
The current pope released a statement before that basically says Ukraine should just surrender to Russia. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

I remember a Tom Clancy novel where Russia was hard up for cash and oil and they invaded China proper for land. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
People laugh but Russia actually got plenty of time to adapt to sanctions and keep their war economy afloat. Sanctions applied slowly and incrementally is exactly how you make sure the country can survive the sanctions and keep doing what you wanted it to stop doing. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

One of Clancy's ideas that didn't age well was that Russia used obsolete decommissioned tank turrets for arming defensive bunkers along the border.

As a person living in an oil producing state in the US:

There is no way in hell Russia comes back to the west. The bridges were burned from both sides.
Military Russia has put the fear of God into all the NATO members in Eastern Europe, who all have a vote in NATO affairs. The free world is opposed to the invasion of Ukraine and autocracy in general. On the Russian side of the equation Russia has lost hundreds of thousands of troops and an absolute fuckton of military equipment on this war and Putin has been sucking China, Iran, and North Korea's dicks for more hardware. Putin trying to tell Russia everything he did was worthless and now the people who killed a bunch of Russians are their friends would absolutely end him.
Economically the west has replaced Russia and Russia has moved away from the west. The major gas pipelines are literally destroyed and Europe has switched largely to other suppliers for gas and oil, with the infrastructure for LNG well under construction. Russia has been pushed to China because of sanctions and now that supply lines have been adjusted they won't easily go back.
For Russia to just become friends with the west is imposdible. Russia would have to at a minimum leave Ukraine entirely, send back all the people they kidnapped, and pay to reconstruct all the cities they bombed to come somewhat close to reestablishing relations with the west. That's just to get sanctions repealed, not to form a military alliance.
No Eastern European country and probably no Western country in general will side with Russia even against China while Putin still holds power. If you want to make historical examples like the US becoming allied with Japan and West Germany after WW2 to oppose the Soviets you need to consider that those countries had their entire governments, economies, militaries, and in a large way cultures replaced by decades of American occupation and control. The Russia that exists today would need to undergo a massive gutting of their government to make the west support them. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Historically they keep pushing | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Like everyone else, he severely overestimated the Russians.
It's honestly shocking just how much of a boogeyman Russia was painted to be, with its massive arsenal of tanks, its 7 Days To The Rhine assault plan, and its constant warmongering and claims of "second most powerful army in the world," and then comparing it to the absolute clusterfuck that this war has been for them. The best military analysts in the world didn't believe that Ukraine would last a week, much less 3 years with no end in sight. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

The other day I went to court against my BIL for threatening to murder me.

Given how poor the Russian East is, many residents would probably think they live in a failing state and putin's to blame for their poverty (you know those stories about stealing washing machines and toilets are real?), but somehow he still has an overwhelming support from the russians.

I actually think that the west will aid Russia in any conflict like this in order to weaken a China that looks for world dominance, and also uphold the rule of international law that nobody can take over anyone else's country. Also, this would give US a direct taste of what China is capable of militarily without a direct fight. They will "support" the principles of sovereignty and nothing more. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
people really don't understand forex and currency in general huh? In 'real life' this doesn't mean much for business, *but* as a measure of stability, trust and overall status it's a hit to the ruble and exchange rates. I know you don't follow this but ruble was around 90-100 for 1usd and when the sanctions hit it dipped to 120 and even 170 at some places for a brief period. We'll see how it goes tomorrow but probably nothing will happen because it's not really that 'free' of a currency and their central bank is giving away lots of stuff to keep it afloat. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

Exactly this. Ideally, Europe would be militarily *self-sufficient*. Dependent on no one. I think something the Ukraine war has shown us is that Europe is currently (or at least was at the start of the war) very much not that. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Europe was already militarily dependent on the US, this was just a wake-up call for them honestly, and I'm not sure they've really fully heard it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Europe's been dependent on the US for defense since at least the Cold War. Rather thanklessly, too, I might add considering it was America that kept Russia from going after every non-nuclear armed nation in Europe. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
I think you are right. And they wouldn't want to give any technology that could be used against them. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Let's remember that both Russia and China (along with all the other BRICS partner states) share a common goal of circumventing American global power. As is their right. It's not *ordained* that the US control the world. That's an accident of the USSR collapsing, along with the post-WWII North Atlantic alliance that is very much Washington's dog.
The world has changed significantly in the 30-plus years since then. China, India, Brazil and many other fast-developing, large-population countries have the right *and* the ability to throw their weight around. Petrostates like Russia and Saudi Arabia also have the right to make their own new deals with these ascendant powers.
The US has been a dud in settling *anything* in the world for seven straight decades now. Sure, we've got the largest military and intelligence budgets by far. But somehow we can't buy victory, or a coherent international policy. And the world sees shit like US spy propaganda telling people in Asia not to trust the Covid vaccines developed there. That's *biological warfare* as much as information warfare, and it's *evil*. We aren't the good guys. We don't even know who we are or why we exist. It's just a big powerful thing that lumbers on, looking for trouble. Afghanistan? That was a Fall of Saigon moment. Only we barely saw it in the US, because the corporate media is not interested in Fall of the Empire narratives.
At the moment, our weapons and our "military advisors" and our Silicon Valley technology companies are openly taking part in the genocide of the population of Gaza. That's what the world sees. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
