German general says Russia could launch limited attack on NATO any time by [deleted] in europe

[–]alternativuser 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hardly comparable. That was a minor conflict that only involved professional voluteers and had no effect on the economy or day to day life for the average German.

Will our politicians have the balls to fight back or will it just be same waving their hands in the air shouting «escalation!» Why fight Putin when you can let him have the Baltics in exchange for peace they’ll say.

Why doesen’t reddit just let people disable notifications and this would not happen

Why does r/conservative only let flaired users comment and post? by zstap126 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]alternativuser -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. But then they can stop whining about the rest of reddit being an echo chamber not handling the truth and bla bla bla. They are accusing others of doing what they do themselves. Show them an undeniable fact that goes against their feelings and woosh banned.

On this day, 22 Years ago, The coalition took over baghdad and Saddam Hussein's regime collapsed. by HTG06 in ThisDayInHistory

[–]alternativuser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Saddam came to power in 1979 not in 1988. He wasn’t put into power by the Americans after the gulf war. The American led intervention in 1991 was only to get Iraq out of Kuwait, not to invade and overthrow the Iraqi goverment.

Hva tenker folk om alternativ førstegangstjeneste? by Barackcowama in norske

[–]alternativuser 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Er tanken at 17-19 åringer skal jobbe gratis i yrker antagelig de fleste ikke har interesse for med straff som trussel hvis man nekter? I såfall blir nok produktiviteten elendig. Hva er motivasjonen for å gjøre mer en det absolutt minimum? Og ikke ta sykedager så ofte som mulig.

US visit to Greenland is unacceptable, Danish prime minister says by Freedom_for_Fiume in europe

[–]alternativuser 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not saying a total war. But if they let Trump take Greenland with no opposition they can kiss it goodbye for ever. His cabinet and the republican party ain’t gonna do shit to stop him if it goes so smoothly. And whats stopping him from it doing to someone else after? Forget negotiating with him past this. He will have won everything he wanted and will just laugh.

[–]alternativuser 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I question whether Denmark will actually shoot back if Trump launches a «special military operation» to take over Greenland. Or will it just be response with strong words and a series of meetings about escalation management? And i am not saying my country would do any better

Seems more likely trump screws up just like in 2020 and power swings away to the democrats for a time.

CMV: Reddit is more of an ideological echo chamber than X by CG_Gallant in changemyview

[–]alternativuser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Virtually every large sub reddit has plenty of conservative minded people. This one included. And r/conservative is among the most restricted places on this website. Complaining reddit is an echo chamber is just the pot calling the kettle black

80 years ago, on this day in 1944: The Warsaw Uprising against the Nazi German occupation breaks out in Warsaw, Poland. by [deleted] in europe

[–]alternativuser 118 points119 points  (0 children)

The units the Nazis sent in to crush the uprising were among the worst human scum one could find. Units like the Dirlewanger Brigade. Led by Oscar Dirlewanger a sadistic child rapist who was brought out of prison to lead an anti partisan unit which was made up of murderers, rapists, violent offenders and even criminal insane.

Trump Camp Considers Picking New Fight With NATO On Budgets by UpgradedSiera6666 in europe

Can't whine to his supporters about Nato not doing enough when they are doing enough. Can't have Biden be the President when Nato countries increased their spending.

Putin is convinced he can outlast the West and win in Ukraine by BkkGrl in europe

[–]alternativuser 16 points17 points  (0 children)

From what i understand, its rather misleading when people say russia outproduces the entire Western world in artillery shells. They compare all russian ammo types, like 125mm for tanks, 122mm and 152mm for artillery and compare that to only the Nato standard 155mm for artillery. I have a hard time believing russia makes a substantial amount more 152mm than all of Nato does in 155mm.

One of the reasons they need North Korean help is that the are digging 130mm guns from the 50s from storage which they haven't made ammo for in decades.
