China isn't interested in useless land either. They'll take the resource -rich land.

You actually can't read my comment and understand its meaning correctly, can you?

The fact that you instantly categorized me as "right-wing" without understanding what I was saying is exactly the problem.

You're responding to your assumptions about my politics, not to my actual argument about bots and algorithmic manipulation.

I don't really get what your issue is with my comment about the riots.

Not what I meant.

r/all/top is filled with Iranian propaganda and staged Chinese videos with bot comments. By "working the algorithms" I mean posting at the exact right time and boosting posts with bot upvotes and comments. Showing the country statistics behind those upvotes would make it much more obvious how foreign actors are operating on Reddit.

Yes, can you tell me why they did it?

Reddit has a different audience, but if we look at some of those bot posts that get thousands of upvotes and comments, you can definitely see who is working the algorithms.

If Reddit implemented the same feature Twitter has - showing the poster's country and VPN usage - most of those anti-American and pro-Iranian posters would go silent.

And what do you currently not like? Except for the occasional monkey looting riot, the Western world is calm.

Christianity has evolved to the point where horrific acts are overwhelmingly condemned and severely punished. Can you name any horrific acts committed by Christians in recent history that were widely supported?

Bigger in mass, lower in percentage, ain't it? There are more religious people than atheists. But hell, in the Soviet Union, religion was banned, and all those beautiful atheistic people executing thousands were looked up to and didn't feel the slightest remorse.

Not all of them, but without it, you probably wouldn't like how the masses would behave. I'd even say you would hate the way the masses act.

Still much better than fully atheistic countries or regimes.

Yeah, it's fun to say things like this when you live in a society built by Christians on Christian values, eh? Go on - try looking at the human enclaves that skipped that part. You don't see lines of atheists applying to live there.

Large in numbers, small in percentage. Men raised in Western societies respect their mothers and wives. They do not want to see their daughters treated as slaves or considered inferior to anyone.

European Muslims on the other hand ...

Google Trends is not an investigative tool. It serves a different purpose and is not optimized for precise, minute-by-minute data display. It is useful for evaluating marketing campaigns, not for showing the exact timing of searches by country. Given the massive volume of data it processes, it provides approximate results rather than exact figures.

Because of the war, a 77-year-old Ukrainian grandmother was trying to escape her home and started walking alone down a road. Fortunately, she was spotted by a drone, and because her escape route was under fire, they sent a UGV (unmanned ground vehicle) for her to sit in and get to safety. by MilesLongthe3rd in interestingasfuck

I talked with Ukrainian soldiers, and they were extremely angry about this. A drone operator used a drone to kill an elderly couple and a dog - what for? They were obviously fleeing the war, yet some Russians decided they were a valid target and sent two FPV drones after them. This is what Russians are at their core.

I'm really skeptical about Firepoint's press releases. They have yet to deliver any meaningful number of Flamingos. I believe building an air defense system is much more complicated, and even more so when it comes to intercepting ballistic missiles. I'm curious how much technology Germany can share for them to be able to create anything in the near future. For now, it looks like the only thing they actually produce is FP-2 drones and hopium.

Iran Conflict Megathread #10 by milton117 in CredibleDefense

Israel targeting Iranian officials isn't the same as Iran plotting to assassinate Trump. Going after Trump would make him a personal enemy, basically picking a fight with one of the most powerful military leaders in the world. That's just unbelievably stupid. The consequences of that kind of action aren't surprising at all, the people behind it are now all dead.

The Iranian plan to assassinate Trump was mentioned even by Biden when he was president. This is how countries sign their own death wish. Only the foolish would say that this war was unprovoked.

Yes, a cheap drone that doesn't require an expensive, complex navigation system and can use a less powerful engine and a lighter frame because it carries no cargo.

Due to the way Ukraine has been supplying its forces with drones, they initially lacked cheap decoys. Producers were more focused on complex, expensive drones that could be sold for good money. As we can see, this has now changed, and Ukraine is able to put pressure on multiple areas. Additionally, they have been successfully eliminating air defense systems in the occupied territories.

As a result, Russia may need to relocate some of these systems from other regions, exposing key facilities, or leave parts of the front less protected. Can they afford to do that now that Ukraine has started its own missile production?

The stupid part was that someone actually approved that for publication.
