@mods, this community needs a rule establishing some minimum relevancy threshold. News like the one in this post may technically be “world news” but they would hardly be worth a mention in any non-local newspaper
TBH it’s not like Palestinian’s resistance equipment and capabilities have seemed much of a concern for Israel even when they were at 100%…
As it’s often the case with statements published during wartime (and also ones in more peaceful times), it’s more interesting to look at where the statement comes from and ask oneself why they say so now than the actual contents of the statement (which are often unverifiable anyways).
Yeah, he’s old and didn’t use the happiest words… but the Vatican clarified he didn’t mean “unconditional surrender” and instead only meant “negotiate a peace deal”.
AFAIU (and also AFAIC - “as far as I care”) It’s not entirely clear yet if the Pope suggests that Ukraine should give up territory in exchange for peace (and what about reparations?) or if he just means “be good people and make peace” (which would be much more in line with how he usually talks). I don’t think whatever the Pope thinks will really be of much consequence given how geopolitically relevant this war is (“The Pope? How many divisions has he got?”)
This whole news/argument serves as great marketing for the TV program where the the interview will be broadcasted (which I’d assume is not unintentional)
For the non-US people: 21,000 acres are around 84km² (a bit more than a 9 by 9km square).
I have zero idea how big the reef was to begin with (and God must have forbidden journalists from publishing data that would allow readers to make sense of the numbers they put in the headlines), but still it seems like decent amount was destroyed.

It’s never the disgusting species — it’s always some disgusting bipedal animal with insufficient humanity.
For a minute there, the title fooled me into thinking the actual vessels were bypassing panama via rail…
TBH it’s not just reddit or social media: Internet’s per-view ad revenue is exactly what ruined traditional newspapers (ok, some where shit to begin with)
Yeah… people should rewrite post titles for the context of this community, rather than reusing article titles verbatim
In case you wonder, this story is from Finland
Err… you are asking that even if I literally said it is world news and only complained about how little relevance (global newsworthiness) the fact has?
Anyways, it seems I must have mistaken the purpose of this community… I have no interest in a twitter-like feed or random low-quality news from all over the world so I’m leaving. Sorry if I’ve been a bother.
