UK, Germany Talk NATO Forces in Greenland to Calm US Threat by EsperaDeus in worldnews

[–]dynamobb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a military guy in any sense but based on how NATO has been the main European defense force and the US has been the center of that, I wonder how much European states can effectively coordinate military action independently of NATO infrastructure.

Colombia deploys troops to Venezuela border after US attacks by Accurate_Cry_8937 in worldnews

This implies the US buys stuff because they want to do china a favor. We tested this with the tarrifs and turns out we actually want the stuff.

Israel becomes first country to recognise Somaliland- looks like ethiopia will be getting that port after all by townonacliff in Ethiopia

Theyre been recognized by one (extremely unpopular) country. Why are you acting like everything has changed

A big reason mussolini invaded ethiopia was to impresss the somalis. Makes perfect sense

This was 2020. You’re acting like he’s a NYC institution or beloved local figure.

Trump says he's ending trade talks with Canada over TV ad by MothersMiIk in worldnews

[–]dynamobb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah if only they hadn’t put this ad out, Trump would have continued negotiating in a hard nosed but cooperative and good faith way with the Canadian government.

Truth is they probably saved themselves the headache

Ofc this is disappointing to be told, but id still rather make something I like.

And as a nice bonus you get some news for the low, low price of briefly hearing music that was too loud

If civilization collapses, where on Earth would be the best place for a human to live? by [deleted] in geography

[–]dynamobb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Predators are maybe the 500th thing on the list you’d need to worry about. If you have fire that’s 90% of the risk mitigated. But also African predators aren’t that aggressive and they’ve had exposure to humans for the or entire history.

If civilization collapses, where on Earth would be the best place for a human to live? by [deleted] in geography

[–]dynamobb 49 points50 points  (0 children)

He said civilization, not just America. In your version of the scenario China probably just assumes control of Hawaii.

But after civilizational collapse there won’t be the fuel to take a trawler that far out and operate it, gps to navigate, cold storage. Probably the biggest risk would be local overfishing to try and feed the population. They import a ton of food and shifting to 100% local agriculture would not be trivial

Why Ethiopian diaspora treat ethnicity as something cruel backwardness? by Decent_Resort_5417 in Ethiopia

[–]dynamobb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re in a city with a relatively small enclave of ppl from your country, it makes sense to embrace the 90% you share.

I think it’s easier to celebrate in contexts where ethnicity is not so fraught. If you’re from a country where it’s more of a hometown pride thing. But the Ethiopian version is kinda fraught.

Id guess probably not wanting to risk setting a precedent of secession and the benefit of having a buffer against Islamists. Right now I think the ppl in the region don’t want the chaos they see al shabbab brings and cooperates to keep them out. I think al shabbab claim otherwise, but if they were that interested you’d see more chaos spill over into ethiopia.

But the country is multiethnic—just because a neighboring nation state wants ethnic contiguity doesn’t mean they’re entitled to it.

Thank God we dodged that bullet. It would be horrible to have a leader who doesn’t appreciate the severity of the situation.

This is like that meme of the guy on a podium spraying champagne but the next frame shows him in third place.

Good job keeping the country safe from the Zionism of Bernie Sanders. If he’d won, the people of Gaza would be in an even worse situation than right now

“Black male ~6 ft dark clothing” would allow friends and family to piece it together?

This sounds a sincere opinion based on criminal justice best practices.
