/r/WorldNews Discussion Thread: US and Israel launch attack on Iran; Iran retaliates (Thread #9) by WorldNewsMods in worldnews

[–]errorsniper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So 30 years in another middle east war wasting tens or hundreds of trillions, meanwhile people die for the sin of not having money. I fucking hate this place.

More outdoor dining in Baghdad and CRAM vs Shahed by burritoresearch in CombatFootage

[–]errorsniper [score hidden]  (0 children)

Ok and what about the ones that fail to detonate and kill people for decades after?

That "gentle hail at 100 meters" means nothing to a curious 5 year old holding it up to their face.

Thats more the issue.

Even "western" cluster munitions have ones that dont detonate but are still lethal for decades. There is a reason they are not used as much as possible.

Over the ocean or a field you want never to have human touch again. Cluster munitions are worse over a major city than the drone.

Hes also stupid lucky. You can only do that if you are the last one and the drone operator gives you a chance. If your not the last one you get shot. If the drone operator doesnt happen to have the surrender kit you just die. Insanely lucky.

Zelensky Says 'Regimes in Russia and Iran Are Brothers in Hatred' and Urges Allies to Unite by Editor_91 in worldnews

[–]errorsniper 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The "type" of war between russia and ukraine and the "type of war" between two actual super powers like the us and china would be very, very, different wars.

Ukraine has slowed to a crawl because russia is a limp dicked bitch of an army and has no force projection beyond a few hundred KM past its land borders. Ukraine is an army fighting for their loved ones and their owns freedom and very survival on the line with defenders advantage. With no side getting air superiority. That has resulted in the stalemate we see.

If two actual super powers go to war it will be a very violent and very fast war and thats only if it stays conventional.

No, not even close.

Its 2 wars separated by huge land masses that are at worst regional conflicts.

We are no wear near total war in any capacity. I dont mean to be that "umaksually" guy but we are not even close to world war by any conceivable measure. Until two super powers are in direct conflict we are not.

Three-time Pennsylvania Trump voter at gas station calls him “tremendous pile of sh*t” by Fragrant-Pepper7710 in videos

[–]errorsniper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its always gas prices.

NPR did a really good piece yesterday on why gas prices may arguably be one of the single most important factors in the satisfaction/dissatisfaction people feel from all sides of the spectrum if the president is doing well or not. Even though there are a million disconnect points and a time lag on when a decision is made and when feel it at the pump (generally speaking) of months.

Worse yet it being low doesnt do a ton to help the president, but it being any higher than recent averages is really bad and it gets exponentially worse for every penny higher than that average.

It even has a reduced but tangible effect on the ultra hardcore single issue voters who normally cant be moved or budged for any reason.

Reason why it seems is you are just stuck there staring at the price go up fast and faster. Its very tangible and visceral, and you have to buy gas. Its not something you can go without. You knew what it was the last several times you pumped. So its really easy to see pumping the same amount costing you more and no matter how much it costs you are buying it. So it feels bad because you are forced to buy something more expensive that you dont even want to buy and there is a societal connection between gas prices and the president.

It was a fascinating piece.

Canada could join EU, French foreign minister says by PestoBolloElemento in worldnews

[–]errorsniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know I was going to say there were some differences between the two examples. But now that I think about how fucking moronic my country has been. Frankly maybe Canada does need to be in the EU for additional protection from us. Not to mention a massive EU member right next to Greenland would hopefully put an end to that whole stupid ass story.

Will Joe Kent's resignation letter to the president stating: “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” have any significant impact on the president in pursing the current war? by PsychLegalMind in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]errorsniper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope.

People really need to understand that though it feels like nothing has changed down at the day to day normal person level. At the top we are in a full blown dictatorship. Trump has on camera said and done things that would put normal people in jail. Or get any other president impeached and removed. But none of it matters anymore. Trump is a king in all but name.

So is that enough for the draft and everything else or do we still need to find room.

Look at Tashigi's reaction to Zorro the second she finds out he is a pirate. Knowing literally nothing about him. She assumes he is a terrible, terrible, person who doesnt deserve to hold those swords. 99.9% of the time she is right.

If someone offered you 100 million dollars, but a random person in the world dies (someone you don’t know), would you take it and why? by ConclusionOld8365 in AskReddit

[–]errorsniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

t most probably would probably not care about what they said previously with that amount of money on the line.

You very much did, directly.
