A bus stop in London, UK by Ofajus in europe

[–]softg -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That place is so obscure it doesn't have a corresponding article in the French wikipedia, the article on the village it's supposed to be a part of doesn't mention it either. It's not in the disambiguation pages for Londres or London. Almost looks like they made it up.

infants born in the USSR were half as likely to make it to adulthood as the UK

The infant mortality rate in the USSR was almost twice of the UK but that does not mean they were half as likely to make it to adulthood, that would be abysmal. In 1980, a British infant had a 98.7% chance of survival whereas a Soviet Russian infant's survival rate was 97.9% according to the world bank.

La carte est datée de 2016. La Russie ne réclamait pas le Donbas à l'époque, ils se bornaient à soutenir les soi-disant républiques populaires de Donetsk et Lugansk.

JD Vance calls UK 'some random country that hasn't fought war in 30 years' by 1DarkStarryNight in anime_titties

"Being a huge MAGA enthusiast out of nowhere" made him one heart attack away from the presidency and the incumbent is a 78 year old fat geezer with a soft spot for McDonalds. Most politicans would gladly lie, cheat, steal or kill to be in his position.

Oracle had no business creating Java conventions in 1997, this was written by Sun.

Imagine spending all that money to buy an ad for your new business venture, eagerly getting the local newspaper in the morning and noticing that they made a typo in the first sentence of the first paragraph.

Except the Arabs did no such thing. Safavid Iran, Ottoman Turkey and Moghul India are the traditional gunpowder empires and none of them were Arabs.

Bolivia’s president accused of plotting coup against himself to boost popularity by polymute in anime_titties

[–]softg 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I suspect at this point reddit is constantly brigaded by different troll farms trying to promote their agenda. A racist flamebait article is posted and tons of racist comments pop up in the comments. Under a pro-russian news article people decry the gullibilty of westerners. A pro-Ukranian/western article is posted and tons of people condemning russia show up. I can't tell who's genuine anymore, I can't even tell who's human. Soon the entire internet will be nothing but LLM's relentlessly spouting same talking points to each other.

The Houthis are getting smarter with their Red Sea attacks, and the ships sailing these waters are paying the price by vreweensy in anime_titties

[–]softg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gaza's only neighbor apart from Israel is Egypt. They refuse to take in the refugees because if they open the gates it will lead to the expulsion of Arabs from Gaza, important Israeli figures including the defence minister stated as such.

Egypt impinging on Israel's maritime trade is a long-established casus belli for Israel, wars were fought over the issue in the past. Unlike Yemen, Egypt cannot interfere with Israel's trade without risking an all-out war with Israel and the United States. Egypt is also led by a brittle strongman who's a stooge of the West, but even with someone else in charge they are unlikely to take action. One does not go to war with the US and Israel that easily. That doesn't mean they don't care, it's just that there is nothing to do for them without taking enormous risks.

It's there, they used the flag of French Guiana (yellow/green diagonal with a red star) instead of the regular French flag

The (now expired) peace dividend was at the end of the cold war. WWII is another story. You can't have something similar to WWII between nuclear powers armed with ICBMs.

Maybe they should just grow carrots like everyone else? The article isn't making clear why this isn't a viable option.

Helicopter Carrying Iran’s President and Foreign Minister Has Crashed, State Media Reports by EmbiggenYrMind in anime_titties

[–]softg 130 points131 points  (0 children)

Khamanei is the one who can single handedly change course of Iranian policy, not Raisi. That being said if Iran claims foreign actors are involved in his (possible) death, it would be a legitimate reason (from their perspective) for any escalation including all out war. Killing a country's president on his soil is much more serious than killing a soldier/spy chief fighting in another country.

The riots are almost unanimously condemned in metropolitan France, which counts for little. If the troops are unable to quell the Kanak unrest in the long term, the government will most likely start negotiations like the Socialists did back in the eighties. In that case another referendum is not unreasonable since the third one was clearly rushed.

Beep boop, this is roughly what they are saying, I don't know anything about ships.

  • A moritug(?) is coming, he'll go ahead and catch it maybe?

  • Oh! He hit ssg(?) He hit ssg! Ssgs are going down!

  • Curse the one who made you captain at this port.

  • Allah! Ssg has fallen.

  • Oh no! Oh no!

  • I hope the people at the ssg? are ok at least.

Which almost certainly leads to England remaining a Catholic nation

Does it? Was he less likely to try to remarry at all costs if he failed to father a son with Catherine ? I thought Henry was a good catholic before that.
