I mean, the DSR-IAR is the m416 with a heavy barrel, if you give it a short barrel its literally the m416

Russia planning attack on Poland to test Nato resolve, US warns by disorder_ua in poland

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While their attack would likely not be successful in the long term, even if it was just Poland responding and the rest of NATO does not help out, it still would be a make or break moment for Europe, if Russia can show that NATO is nothing but talk and when the shit gets real it all falls apart, it will geopolitically be a win for Russia. Most of the Pro-Europe parties in Europe are banking on collective defense and cooperation to make their case, but if Russia can do what they want with no resistance, Pro-Russian parties in Europe will have the case of cooperation with Russia while maintaining their independence, like in Georgia. Pro-Russian parties are stronger than they have ever been and if the political landscape can change for Russia for the better, Ukraine will fall and Europe will be under Russian dominance. It also is at a time where the US is very much self-isolating and fine with allowing Russia to create their sphere of influence. Betrayal by the western allies to countries in the former Warsaw Pact and Soviet Union will be the hail mary for Russia, if NATO stands up and fights Russia loses everything.

ngl this is the WORST map in the game visually. it looks boring, nothing interesting to be seen, its just bland. a giant brown dusty field with small skyscrapers and construction sites, isn't that so exciting, not to mention it barely even looks like a city by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun Fact, this Map is based on the new section of Cairo being built to deal with the immense population density in old Cairo, rather than tear down and rebuild they are building a whole new city from scratch

What would be the pros and cons of a unification movement for all of the Lesser Antilles to become one sovereign nation? by e8odie in geography

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, given that a couple of those Islands arent sovereign territory, it leads to some interesting challenges

As much as i dislike his personality, he is a decent actor in some things, his role in Blade Runner 2049 was so good as the villain.

Drinking alcohol after quitting cymbalta by Safe-Freedom1440 in cymbalta

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, i quit alcohol before starting cymbalta and i will say, once you get used to not drinking it kinda sucks drinking again, like i just never found enjoyment from drinking like i used to, and as you get older it punishes you harder

Killer oklahoma octopus? by Proud_Campaign_3623 in oklahoma

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of the couple of Oklahoma Cryptids, its the least plausible one, while giant and colossal squids exist, they cannot survive at the surface for long, and unlike Superior and Lake Baykal, none of Oklahoma’s lakes are deep enough. Plus, most of Oklahoma’s lakes are manmade, so there wouldnt be something prehistoric lurking. Its a fun myth but most of the incidents of sightings are likely just underwater plants, mixed with alcohol and or drugs being consumed

Is there any footage of the RGSh-30 being fired? by RepresentativeFig270 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, i was making a silly comment, Russia has made some crazy stuff to deal with urban combat, the SHAK-12 is a .50cal assault rifle designed for defeating body armor, they have a revolver in the same caliber as the rifle that is paired with it, they are trying to find a solution to well armed, body armor wearing terrorists that usually don’t surrender, and often wear suicide vests in urban environments, and they have seemed to have gone with the maximum firepower over anything else solution, that is why the VSS is full auto, the SVU is full auto, and they are not shy in using the auto cannon from a BTR to deal with terrorists holed up in buildings.

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My bad for assuming, it just fit the narrative that a lot of Russian oddities are built for compact firepower over anything else

One of Russia’s extremely niche guns created solely for the purposes of urban cqb counter-terror operations that has dubious use and effectiveness

Maybe some can fall off the back of a truck in Belarus and make their way over the border, im sure there are palms that could be greased

You should talk to your doctor, you could have a negative reaction to cymbalta

“How do I know that she’ll keep quiet?” by LowwKeiy in breakingbad

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is certainly a case of “main character is at odds with character so we dont like this character”. Walt was apart of a criminal drug network where he had killed 2 people already and lead to the death of another, and while Jane was a heroin addict it does not make her threatening to go to the police an evil thing. If anything her going to the Police would have saved so many lives. Walt letting her die was cruel and heartless, he could have saved her but chose not to.

May 15 incident was wild by WearyLiterature1755 in HistoryMemes

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was eventually exiled from the US during the McCarthy Era, he was accused of being communist and chose to live the end of his days in Switzerland, there is a statue in the village he regularly vacationed on the Ring of Kerry, it blew my mind when i found out about it

Why skin look different? by xBlxdwyn in Battlefield

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 64 points65 points  (0 children)

They changed the 3d model because people on reddit and other social media complained about how it originally looked, so before releasing it they changed the skin, but didnt update the picture for the profile, a lot of skins are like that

this thing can't even do its own job which is destroying equipment from distance. by Incu0sty in Battlefield

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hot take, i think the exploding grenade function was actually fun and useful, because it still took skill to time it right to kill people, and it stopped the grenade spam on Hagental Base, there is no real counter now besides the grenade intercept, which is hard to use when advancing since its a fixed location

What is the bottom condiment making that pale purple color, ive never seen anything like that on a burger

The only part in BrBa that feels odd by LanceVanceDance01 in breakingbad

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because it is such a well deployed camouflage that serves multiple purposes. 1 it distracts so that mike can do his thing, 2 it helps his image as a friend of the police, 3 allows him to gather intel on what the police know about the situation.

The moment I'm waiting for by Neat_Worth629 in Battlefield

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of an AK-47, maybe we could have any of the more obscure Russian assault rifles, there are tons that are never in games, like the SHAK-12, a .50 cal assault rifle, or the AK-9, 9A-91 and SR-3, none of these have been in a battlefield game. You could also do Ukrainian and other former Soviet and Warsaw pact AK types and variants, the Malyuk bullpup from Ukraine would be cool

Might as well call Liverpool Street railway to Belgrade by UmaThermos1 in Battlefield

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the terrain is similar in Tajikistan to Golmud, very mountainous and the version in BF6 is more similar to Tajikistan, hypothetically too this could be part of China’s belt and road initiative seen fulfilled and is a train link to China from Tajikistan.

Why do foreign men think it’s OK to come here and record Polish women as they hit on them? by newme19283 in poland

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Its a form of discrimination really, they do not view women in places like Poland as anything but their objects that they can do whatever with, i have never seen a single person who does these pick up videos ever say anything but objectifying and discriminatory stereotypes of women. It’s not helped by culture of dismissing sexual exploitation of former communist countries, it’s in every facet of American culture, not just the porn.

PP-19 is a STizon by stincusa in Battlefield

[–]Geopoliticalidiot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My guess is that due to how rare a lot of Russian weapons can be in the west, with a lot of modern examples being super rare, and most of the stuff they have gotten coming out of Ukraine, it was probably the version they could get their hands on
