1985.... I didn't know about that, but my OP remains true since it was before my lifetime (1987) | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Cool so every nation on planet Earth and the international aid organizations have been making it up because they're antisemitic. Thanks for clearing that up for me! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
yes I agree with you ! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

Right! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
The UK and France also have nuclear subs on patrol all the time. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Source? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
True, but you would still have to target the missiles as part of that process. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Russia cannot win in a conventional conflict against NATO, it will also lose in a nuclear conflict against NATO as well, however, in a nuclear conflict both NATO and Russia will
lose.
I'm not worried about Russia attacking NATO out of the blue, I'm worried about Russia doing something that NATO has drawn a firm line in the sand against like using a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine or a large chemical warfare attack against a Ukrainian population center.
In which where NATO holds up to its word and takes out every Russian military asset in Ukrainian territory- I'm worried what Russia's retaliation against that move will be, because then I can see Russia attacking a NATO country and basically hold the world hostage- like nuking Brussles in retaliation and threaten all out mass nuclear launches against all population centers in nato countries if any NATO retaliation continues.
Where do we go from there?
I also somewhat worry about a mistake, a stray missile hitting NATO ground, or a nuclear power plant gets hit/ melts down and the drifting contamination makes NATO to decide to enact article 5. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

Same, glad I'm close to downtown in a major US city that would likely get at least a 300-500kt airburst. I'd be vaporized pretty quick. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Wait: they arent on standby? After the threats of destruction of London, Berlin and whatnot? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Try reading the article before being outraged by the headline | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Nukes have always been on standby. That's why they are nukes. By its mere existence, a nuclear bomb is already on stand by. Launch and targets are the only variables.
Kind of pointless to use nuke proximity as a threat to anyone. This is NATO just flapping its gums. Fucked up world where positioning nukes becomes part of any conversation. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
You clearly don't live in deep south America. If I hear one more person tell me America needs a strong leader like Putin, and then go on about how that leader is Trump. I'm going to lose my shit. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Bro you're Italian? im European also we both learned that same lessons in history please don't be numb to the rise of dictatorships in history we need to unite not submit. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
I don't know many people who want Russian occupation. But roughly 50% of American are OK with a Putin like government as long as their political party is the one in power. Hell, Canada probably even has a higher percent, Alberta might leave the federation soon if we don't become a right wing dictatorship soon. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
I agree, most definitely if a mass nuclear exchange happens, both sides lose, that the premise of M.A.D
There is no such thing as "winning" a nuclear war. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
All US subs are not capable of launching nukes whatsoever. That’s the difference between fast-attack subs ( SSN, Virginia class ) , nuclear powered but conventional weapons, and ballistic subs ( SSBN, Ohio class). | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
So they said, if Russia DIRECTLY attacked your country, they’d rather let Putin take it than to risk dying fighting back? Not Ukraine, not any other neighboring countries. YOUR COUNTRY specifically. They said it’s best to just let Russia take it with no resistance? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Lol what | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Hindsight is always 20-20 and most media looks worse with age. I enjoy the series too, but the strength and clarity of Kojima's politics have been greatly overhyped.
Another thing that is dumb is how Big Boss is supposed to be a hero for wanting to carve out a country just for soldiers. It's something you'd write if you bought into a very far-right narrative of Japanese history, and truly believed the best possible government would be if the samurai were always the ruling class. And then Big Boss could be the shogun and make his direct descendants his heirs while everyone else had to admire their greatness. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Agreed. It also cracks me up to read about countries, increasing number of nukes, as a way to deter others.
Obviously the world needs more nukes. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
I grant they're no where near as fucked as a lot of Reddit likes to make out, but a global superpower invading a non-NATO member over flat ground which at the time of invas5had no Western support, should have been the stated "three days to take Kiev" outcome. Most Western military leaders assumed this would be the case.
They're not useless in terms of holding a 1500km front line for two years and making occasional advances, but they're also not realistically moving forward and occasionally getting pushed back, so the front has basically stalled.
It presents a new and unique problem for us in the West because we have no idea how to realistically handle this. On the one hand we could easily push Russia back in a matter of days if we gave Ukraine full NATO "boots on the ground" support, but it would be so rapid and chaotic (war is never as simple as fancy maps on the news make out) it would likely lead to total panic in the Kremlin and small nuclear exchanges within a day or two, which within a matter of hours would lead to global nuclear war.
It might _not_ happen like that, but it's an enormous risk, the biggest risk humanity ever took, to save one country that is in no real or imminent danger of falling. Hence the ongoing military aid, the bolstering of defences and spending in Europe, and messages like this from Stoltenberg.
This isn't so much the start of WW3, but a marked return to Cold War thinking - "we're not about to kick you into the middle of next week because we know that would destroy us all, but we want to remind you that _could_ happen." | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Well aren’t you just completely wrong. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
If I had to choose between a decade of warfare and hardship or a decade of keeping my head down while I continue to live a relatively normal life I'm not ashamed to admit I would probably pick the latter...
But then I am a pragmatic optimist who's spent enough time socializing online with Russians who's lives seemed eerily similar to my own (eat sleep, work at jobs they hate for one reason or another, complain about their landlords, play video games to escape, vote in elections where nothing ever changes) that I don't think much in my life would change (assuming we capitulate quickly) | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
>Talk about emotion driven responses.
Like yours. Seriously, take a breather and read what you wrote. I'd suggest looking up terms like "dissuasion", so you can sleep a little easier. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
As someone with a ps4 who played metal gear on ps as a kid and wants to recapture the feeling of “snake? Snaaaaaake!” Which shouldn’t start with? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Russia's war in Ukraine is ostensibly like if the United States tried to invade Colorado... and 2 1/2 years in they simply can't get it done. I mean... I don't know if you're just JAQing off, or if it's just part of your username gag, or what. But uh, Russia has been on the metaphorical backfoot since day 4 of their 3 day "specially military operation." | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
I was lead to believe the same thing and was what I was referring to.
Maybe they aren't? (Haven't been paying the closest attention to it tbh)

Tell us you haven't read the article without saying you haven't read the article.
They are talking about bringing nukes out of storage. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Depends. Is the war purely about control of territory or are their darker ethnic / racial / religious overtones to it? Is it a lines of map war or is it a 'I want your people gone' war? The latter you must fight, the former the cynics (myself included) can and will argue is useless and all about ego.
Democracy vs Authoritarianism is hard to argue when you realize they both rely on populism and will both probably lead us to climate collapse and the death of millions (if not billions). | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
I mean the silo thing is what they call “the sponge” — It’s so that if there ever was an attack from a China or a Russia, most of the first wave would hit the Rockies/Midwest where no one lives and would give time for the United States to respond. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
>Do higher yield options reduce fallout, or is only a tiny fraction burned regardless?
The majority of the power of modern nuclear warheads is produced via fusion which has basically zero fallout. It is the fission trigger that will produce a small amount of fallout - if I remember right a megaton+ thermonuclear warhead has roughly 7kt equivalent of plutonium for its trigger. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
That wasn’t the worst thing in Afghanistan man, come on…

I'm pretty sure the reason for the war was the eastward expansion of NATO that was promised not to expand.
Hell, you even have biden predicting this back in 1997

Gently, *rogue nation, unless the enemy nation has a propensity for feeling pretty and wearing rouge. I’m not here to shame! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Bombers can serve as both a first- and second-strike weapon. For example, a bomber armed with AGM-129 ACM missiles could be classified as a first-strike weapon and bombers that are classified as needing an aerial refueling aircraft to strike targets would constitute as a second-strike weapon. almost every plane in the united states inventory can deliver nuclear weapons, thus making it almost impossible to entirely take them out because they are so dispersed. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
US Navy ballistic missile submarines are ordered to surface at periodic intervals to receive communications indicating that no change has occurred in the defense condition. Should the submarines be unable to receive the proper command and control signals indicating normal, peacetime conditions, their orders would be to launch their nuclear missiles under the assumption that command and control structures had been destroyed in a nuclear attack and that retaliation was therefore necessary. All available means of verification and all due caution would naturally be applied. This approach is obviously exceptionally dangerous for a variety of reasons, as any benign communications disruption due to technical failure could conceivably incite a completely unnecessary nuclear war. The strategy's intended value lies in deterrence against attack on command, control, communications, and computer (see C4I) networks by any potential adversary. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

For the reasons we do so, we shouldn't be talking about being ready at all. We should already be ready. Jeepers. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
To the extent MAD works, and will continue to work, it really does have to be "assured". Mutually Probable Destruction is, ironically, a lot more dangerous. Everyone in the situation has to be sure that if they pull the trigger then the very next thing that happens is they are vaporized.
Ukraine is a touchy situation because it's not NATO aligned so it's not clear MAD applies at all. Putin could kick things up by saying "evacuate Odessa because we're going to level it with a nuke, if you don't surrender we'll systematically destroy every Ukrainian city". | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
What’s the point of nuclear weapons if they are not on standby? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Indeed. He should stop the war he started. Putin should withdraw from Ukraine and cease hostilities immediately. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

Same, due to my physical disability I'm only ably to survive due to how stable our civilization is (healthcare, infrastructure, access to technology and economy). In a post-apocalyptic civilization all that is gone or very scarce. So I rather evaporate in a glorious blaze of nuclear fire than the slow, painful death that would await me otherwise. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

I don't know. Hootie gets iran's and russia's money. I think that the blowfish is stuck out, perhaps the blowfish has principles and can't be bothered with bribery from nations hostile to people both foreign and domestic. Of course, you don't see the blowfish lobbing bombs at people who just want to get to point B, offload cargo, and grab a check. Seems the blowfish is above all this and can't be messed with such trifling bullshit. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Imagine how different things work out if the stupid little mask gets ripped off. If a person honestly and proudly believes in something, they will say it with their face unmasked. The cute thing is with the amount of computer analytics that is present and growing, they will be able to figure out who these masked lone riders are from their voice print. Fortunately or unfortunately, everything is being recorded. If it is important enough they will be able to figure out who all these stupid parrots are.
That said, 95% of these weasels will blend into the woodwork a year or two from now. They may or may not take silent joy in the borderline Nazi bullshit they were spewing, but they will be silent as a mouse if anyone asks about it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
This. Things will be calm until November. If Biden wins I’m guessing there will be ugly consequences for these shit heads.

Nor should they. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
well duh. why would they leave their people behind? thats why the pro hamas movement is so backwards. if they actually wanted a ceasefire they should be pushing hamas to release hostages they are torturing. but they dont care about them. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Israel is not murdering gazans, as much as you’d like your bias to be true. There are videos of Israeli dropping thousands of leaflets, making millions of phone calls, using roof knockers, and announcing their attacks prior to committing them, as well as stopping attacks due to civilians in proximity to terrorists.
Israel has been allowing 6k trucks per month to enter into Gaza, for reference, 6.5k entered in April and 6.3k entered in May. At May, it was reported that through the trucks there are 3,163 calories per person being distributed, which is about 40% higher than the standard required intake in crisis per person. Mind you, these numbers do not include any other form aid being rendered, such as airdrops or through the pier.
However, we do have videos of Hamas looting and stealing aid trucks, we are long aware of Hamas reselling such aid at exaggerated prices. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
340 million Americans. How many are pro-hamas, or pro-palestine? 38 million Canadians. How many are pro-hamas, or pro-palestine? Columbia University has about 25,000 students, how many did you see at the protests? I didn't see even 1,000 in any of the footage that I've watched.
Here's a little more data about the US. [https://www.pewresearch.org/2024/03/21/majority-in-u-s-say-israel-has-valid-reasons-for-fighting-fewer-say-the-same-about-hamas/](https://www.pewresearch.org/2024/03/21/majority-in-u-s-say-israel-has-valid-reasons-for-fighting-fewer-say-the-same-about-hamas/) | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

That, plus something like a Marshall plan to bring some level of prosperity to the people (not just aid), or radicalization is bound to happen again.
Both are going to decades of commitment, which is sadly hard to imagine. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

Framing the war as any kind of punishment is missing the point. Putting things on elementary school terms is not always helpful. The goal is not to punish Hamas, or anybody. The goal is to diminish Hamas capabilities of violence, and to rescue hostages. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

FTFY | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
What about it is telling? He's a moron and has prolonged the war significantly with his measures, he spread literal Hamas propaganda, he whitewashes Palestinian support for Hamas, his pressures on Israel, his heavy pushing for negotiations that have repeatedly just been used to stall, his demands for concessions that delayed important operations by months in total, he's straining Israeli reservists, he's a significant factor in why we hold back on doing a lot of important things.
Anyone who actually cares about Gazans shouldn't want Hamas to remain in Gaza under any circumstance (ofc, short of Israel actually intentionally massacring civilians, but if you believe that I don't have much to discuss with you). Anyone who actually cares about Gazans should also be in favor of them immigrating elsewhere. If you'd rather Gazans die you're either in it to hate Israel or for some ideological proxy-war and don't actually give a fuck about them. It's really that simple. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

We have no choice but to put our bases inside of hospitals! We have no choice but to fire rockets from inside of school courtyards! We have no choice but to put hostages in a crowded civilian area!
No. 100% false. If you cared about your family, would you put them in more danger, or in less danger?
Also there are no settlements in Gaza. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

Any Israeli who thinks Biden supports us in this war is an actual buffoon. If you think we 'legitimately sometimes go too far' you don't know anything about IDF conduct nor about how wars are fought more generally. 'does nothing after investigations conclude'? The US military under Biden himself killed aid workers and 7 children among them, with nobody held accountable let alone Biden apologizing like Netanyahu did. The standards are completely different.
I could also get into how someone that appeases illiberal forces and caters to them at the cost of actual morality and liberal values is much more impactful than for just Israel, and what this conflict represents more broadly, but I don't think there's a point given your mindset and the fact you can convince yourself Biden is good for us. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

Hamas never wanted to negotiate a 2 states solution. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
they never wanted to negotiate, period. Non negotiation with Jews is in their Charter.
But they are negotiating now for a cease fire, so they already have voided their own laws.
IDF is bringing them to their knees, they will negotiate a 2 state now (or they get the hose again) | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
The rhetoric since October 7 says otherwise | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Doubt that was the only thing they wanted in exchange.
But even then, you don't get to invade and then just expect it to be a-ok if you just release the hostages. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
israel should just stop settling into Gaza also. Not fair for Gazans to be evicted out of their homes by a foreign power | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
It’s a war crime to take civilian hostages. Even when the war stops, those who murdered, raped, tortured, and held hostages should be punished to the fullest extent of international law. That said, they likely will be extrajudicially murdered long before an arrest or trial. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
This is not happening, Israelis are not settling in Gaza | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
You said it yourself, armchair expert. There are no settlements in gaza. For the future, information that you get from a 30 second Tick Tock video is not reliable. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
