People downvoting you don't know British Culture well enough | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
To slightly justify calling the election, the inflation numbers were not that bad from the report. He just passed the Rwanda bill, and the election is at the latest closer to the end of the year. He also had the budget out in public already, so he is unable to fiddle with that to give himself a boost. Ultimately, it was going to get worse for him the closer to the last date he could call an election.
While passing the Rwanda bill, he has yet to actually implement sending people on planes (which he no longer has to prove) which would be challenged in court and held up, breaking his promise to do so. He is unable to call for more tax breaks right before election time, so he is unable to trick the public that he is helping.
The biggest point was to blindside the opposition and prevent them from putting up candidates or solidifying their manifestos. It sorta worked as Labour and Reform struggled to get out vouched candidates (one Reform candidate said that the UK should have agreed to be neutral with Hitler instead of fighting the war) and Farage was rushed in to shore up support after saying he wasn't going to run. Overall, it is not his fault why he is going to lose as his party has been in power for 14 years, and many decisions that have made his political party toxic were when he was not PM.
That said, he is doing his best to stick the pole in his party's bike with multiple gaffes that wouldn't be helpful when ahead, worse when he is behind. He also decided to fight Reform on the right instead of fighting Labour on the center. Things like missing out on the one thing the UK and France actually agree on (WWII), mistaking the Welsh team with the English team, and unconvincingly explaining that he grew up poor (parents are rich) because he couldn't watch Sky TV instead of say rationing foods or energy, comes off as out of touch and not able to win the very election he called for. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

Damn sexy Israelis looking good kicking ass and taking names | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
That’s been Israel’s motto since its creation. This Gaza war being the most recent example, but also I was in Israel in 2006 when Hezbollah kidnapped a few Israeli soldiers from near Qiryat Shmona and Israel bombed and invaded Lebanon | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
In 2006, the UN passed resolution 1701. This did several things, but most importantly for this discussion it demanded the disarmament of Hezbollah and created a UN peacekeeping force to accomplish that task.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_1701
It is 18 years later and that peacekeeping force is sitting around watching Hezbollah attack civilians. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

China is ranked #106 out of 153 countries globally for gender equality. By comparison, the US is #53, France #14, and the top 4 are all Nordics. I don't know where you live but it's nice your country doesn't arrest activists

Ya cause nothing screams "totally legitimate crime" like sentencing someone with
>charges of incitement to subvert state authority | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
> First off, there's an alleged naval base in Ream, used by the PLN
I'm pretty sure it's more than "alleged". If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's designed to be able to support an aircraft carrier.
> Third, I doubt that this is from the kindness of their heart
Ream is basically right in the middle of the gulf of Thailand. That port allows them to project significant naval power over the entire gulf with ease. China is gearing up for conflict along the whole south China sea and beyond, from Taiwan to thailand. Ream, and the infrastructure developments, are the logistical groundwork that enables them to do it more effectively.
As with Africa, China don't build infrastructure if it won't have any benefit to them, and it usually comes with some pretty harsh terms and conditions. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
> so between 2 bads chose the one paying or benefiting you the most
That would make sense, except it ignores the foreign aid budgets that the west has for a lot of these developing countries, which are not insignificant. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
My point is - the reason she is arrested was not for being a metoo activist, but for opposing the party, a crime that will land even the most conservative patriarch into jail. this whole thread is going gung ho about how china arrests people for advocating fir women - which is false. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

Dry north and rainy south has been a reality of China since forever, there's a reason why the Northwest of China is a huge desert, while the south is a tropical forest, and climate change might just be exacerbating the issue, like everywhere else. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

Same story every week, no real news. Btw I’m rooting for Taiwan. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
China will not invade based on Xi’s latest comment in Europe. China’s economy is in the dumps. However, they will use and leverage flaws in current Taiwanese government to make Taiwanese cave. Imagine moving all the budget meant for warfare into bribery, KMT politicians will sell out in an instant. I mean, look at KP, he sold out to Ma when he was merely offered 100M. Taiwanese politicians are dirt cheap. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
No, that's just for the hostile stance against official China.
Racism against Chinese is the go-to response of bot accounts when they detect criticism of China and try to somehow delegitimize it. Fighting criticism of Xi makes their boss happy and earns their daily cup of rice. At the end of the day they try to not think about how they are contributing to the lack of accountability that allows Xi to squeeze out all human rights and brainwash the next generation Chinese into fearful CCP loyalists who do not dare to protest even starvation like North Koreans or being sent to die in stupid wars like Russians. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

The problem with East Asia, and really most developed countries, is that the elderly are living too long. They take up resources and opportunities from those in prime age to make families. For example, a person doesn't retire until 75 because they're still able body and takes up their family residence (e.g. house) untill 99.
We will reach an inflection point where social entitlement for the elderly need to be reduced or removed. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

Holding a ‘referendum’ that is non binding is ‘bad’ ? Vs threatening citizens of another country that India has no business too? Get out lol. Keep your disorderly broken system to yourself. Only reason why he gets re elected is because there is zero consideration for diversity and representation - required by real democratic countries lol, but clearly not in India.
It’s hilarious that you think some random refenderim equates to same level of seriousness to threatening someone’s life. Australian citizens are allowed to do w/e they are allowed to on Australian sovereignty, same thing with any other citizens of other countries and on their own respective lands (regardless what their ‘ethnicity are’).

You really have to read your own comments lol. You’d be laughed out of any western country suggesting certain religions / cultures are lesser (again, read your own comments ). ‘They are well behaved’ ???? Like in the actual .. bruh ha.
Anyways, India has no business in interfering with citizens of other countries (especially for something that is merely ‘symbolic’ like a non binding referendum lol). Using the guise as ‘security’ is laughable . Freedom of speech, expression, and right to protest , are rights in the western world, maybe not in India | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Khalistan is, was, and always a non-issue amongst Indians, especially the Indian Sikh population.
The reason why it is getting so much talked about lately is because Sikh people were at the forefront of the farmers protest and aligning them with Khalistan Separatists has been a way to discredit them. BJP was caught red handed facilitating Khalistan activists last year when they were doing shit in Punjab. And with all the bullshit that we're doing to Khalistan Seaparatists in these foreign countries, it's validating them as victims of oppression from India rather than a militant organization we're suppressing for our security.
Keeping all that aside, what shit like this is doing to our country's reputation is more or less irreparable. Forget the questions of sovereignty, if all our secret ops like these get leaked and talked about globally, how is that reflecting on our intelligence agencies? For spying to work, it has to be fucking covert. With the Khalistan issue, we got outed in Canada, USA and now in Australia. All of which paints us as a rogue country that doesn't respect international laws. And fun fact, we don't have enough shit to get away with it like USA or Russia or Israel. We went from the de facto leader of the Non Alignment movement to a fucking fascistic rogue state in the eyes of the world with shit like this. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
I'm talking about the other India Pakistan wars (1948, 1965, 1999) when the West remained neutral despite the fact that it was Pakistan who was clearly the aggressor in all of them.

Yup and the liberals follow the goal posts trying to appease to them then wonder why they don’t get young voters. All the liberal comments on how great Biden stopped asylum at the southern border. Read no different to me than conservative comments. Right away when that happened. It’s amazing how disconnected they are with Latin voters. Now you got all these conservatives, especially latin@ conservatives, telling young Latin@s how the republicans tried to stop it but Biden decided to use his presidential powers to push it through. It’s really insulting as a Latino watching Democrats use the strategy that white conservative voters are more important than Latino liberal voters. So I’ll be voting Green Party. Not that vote will matter, Biden will win California.
Seeing all those comments and how conservative liberals sounded was also a turn off.
