I’ve literally never read a post about Iran (or any country) on Reddit that doesn’t have Americans in the comments completely ignoring said country and spouting off some shit about the US instead.

Truly amazing how they can always spin it to be about themselves.

Tbf it’s the same if public universities are underfunded and/or professore are underpaid. More of a regulation issue IMO, researchers/colleges shouldn’t be allowed to take these contracts.

This war? No. A war of Brazil and someone else? It may prove necessary. We wouldn't want to do like paraguay and lose half our population due to stubborness

Probably, yes. Until either side makes concessions that would be politically explosive on their own side, resolution isn’t likely. A one-state solution also certainly will not happen.

Putin is going to do another apartment bombing and blame it on Ukraine.

I get that you are from India and feel the need to defend your home country but I criticize my own country quite a bit. You’d be better off facing the negative truth from time to time than sticking your head in the sand.

I provided multiple sources in my edit above. You haven’t provided any.

You criticized me as being an armchair expert, when this is Reddit. What on earth do you expect?

I provided an actual, expert opinion, which you criticized as being a former advisor as though that invalidates all his experience. You must be a troll because according to your mindset, there’s no reason to comment at all.

I was envisioning something closer to the zone rouge in France, but point taken yeah

I don’t know but if I was a Russian athlete I probably wouldn’t want to participate anyway it is just asking to be bullied in the world stage

BTW these landmines are anti-personnel, not anti-tank. They're "delivered" by artillery and then fly randomly covering a large area.
And kids wouldn't really know that this forest or that field is documented somewhere as dangerous.

This is going to damage Russia's war effort

How many deaths from vaccination? /s

What’s the alternative, though? No resolution, just guaranteed periodic violence?

This is Reddit - America must be brought up in every r/worldnews post…you know the sub for news NOT about America

Will you trade Brazilian territory to end the war?

Yes - the quote comes from the government. Reporting what they've said isn't exactly anti union, is it? Lol.

Edit: downvote away, chaps, what a weird take on impartial reporting

Really? Which countries?

Reporting what the government says about something is "pro" them? Lol.

You missed the union leaders' quotes in the article? Or did you just not bother reading it?

Are you implying that Russian imperialism isn't imperialist?

This is a blatant violation of privacy rights and the government should be held accountable for their actions.

Lithuania has some really good reasoning for that too. Mainly it's next to Russia's exclave and Belarus.

>Well, this line of thinking is exactly why it's ridiculous for you to pretend that Zelensky's "preconditions" are actually preconditions to anything. And even more ridiculous for him to pretend that.

They are preconditions for diplomatic negotiations to take place. They can discuss a whole bunch of different things once Russian troops leave Ukraine. But Russia's preconditions that annexed territories, which is what this conflict is about, be recognized as Russian is preventing negotiations.

>Who knows? Like, I said, if Russia is suddenly getting attacked by the US from Ukraine, is Russia going to nuke its own border? Or the US - and trigger MAD for itself too?

The answer is obviously yes, an attack from Ukraine would trigger MAD. Why do you think NATO is not sending troops to Ukraine right now?

It's 10 years.
