I can’t believe the old cold war fears of a Russian invasion of Sweden are actually coming true. Thanks, America. Fucking hell.

I’m getting a bit of whiplash here.

The sentiment on Lemmy is usually that we should stop being the world police.

Personally, I think that would make for a worse outcome and I guess we’re gonna find out.

When people want America to stop playing world police, they mean stop invading other countries, not stop supporting allied countries that are being invaded

Maybe we shouldn’t be the world police AND we shouldn’t team up with the world’s biggest enemy against our supposed allies?

Yeah they don’t want America to be the World Police, cuz police don’t protect people. Protecting our allies isn’t policing.

Where has he said he wants to stop helping Ukraine? Haven’t he been quite vocal about wanting to end the war?

No, stopping US military aid will definitely not stop the war and I’m not aware of Trump even claiming he is going to end military aid. Disinformation until proven otherwise.

So in a crisis or a war, the guide to stop bleeding is ‘apply pressure and call emergency services and wait’? If it’s a fucking crisis or war you might not be able to have that luxury buddy. Honestly doesn’t feel super helpful from what I’m seeing.

How to apply a simple pressure dressing is part of the basic medical training course, which is mandatory to get a driving licence in Germany.

Anything that such a dressing can’t stop does require professional help and will kill you, crisis or not.

This isn’t a dressing, it’s literally saying to push down on the wound and hold yourself there until paramedics arrive.

That’s the correct thing to do. If you neglect to do that and try to rush the person on to a car or something without proper pre-hospital care training, the person will just bleed out in the car. Whatever a pressure dressing won’t help, won’t be stopped without an operating room by a surgeon.

A person with a bleed will survive for much longer staying put with proper pressure over the wound than a person being moved about. Oftentimes, people in panic also forget to call for help. Most first aid preparation is about drilling people to stop panicking and actually call for those who can and know how to help. Crisis, War or not, you are, most likely, not a surgeon or a paramedic, and you don’t have a surgery room in your house. There’s nothing that a pamphlet can correct in that case.

The sad truth is, if the emergency services can’t get to you in a crisis, you are likely dead anyway. Life is not a movie, and no pamphlet will teach you EMT level medical knowledge, forget tools and training.

Beats ‘patiently sit in a corner and wait to bleed dry’.

Out of curiosity, where did you get that it has only been issued 5 times? Wikipedia shows 8 editions (including 2024) but doesn’t explicitly state if each edition was published more than once

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
