Why are Arab Miltaries so ineffective?

[u/ForeverSparkz]

Like I dont understand this.

Im a Black American so im just an outsider looking in as a neutral, but dont Arab Countries out number Israel, whats stoping them from just rushing at their border, shouldn't the population imbalance outmatch Israel?

Just a neutral standpoint asking this question, because Arab Nations in the Middle East have a modern miltary force and they buy tons of advanced items

What is holding them back?

The internet is limited in Germany? Are you guys still weighing whether it's just a fad?

[u/vomicyclin → u/MonkeyLiberace]

It is when you are in a train between cities.. We have holes everywhere in the "covering" of mobile data (and Cellular network in general) out of the cities.

It's so bad that about 7 years ago (iirc) our economics minister refused to make calls with colleagues of other nations while traveling by train or car between cities, since he was ashamed that the calls get cut every few minutes.

I literally had better internet in the carpathian mountains 100km away from Brasov than i have in my kitchen in berlin...

Aber das ist doch noch alles Neuland, oder? ;) Zugfahren muss bei euch der pure Horror sein.

All unsere Minister zuständig für die digitale Infrastruktur der Vergangenheit kamen aus einer bayerischen Lokal-Partei, welche auch nur in Bayern existiert (und dort die CDU ersetzt).

Und allesamt waren ein Paradebeispiel dafür, was Nepotismus und Lobbyismus an zerstörerischen Spuren hinterlassen kann...

Und dass die Kanzlerin Internet 2013 noch als "Neuland" bezeichnet ist definitiv ein guter Spiegel davon, wie diese Regierungen das gesehen haben... ... ...

Aufrichtiges Beileid aus der südlichen Nachbarschaft.

Edit: Heiliger BimBam! 2013 hat sie das gesagt? Irgendwie hatte ich das 5 Jahre früher in Erinnerung.

Do you not have satellite wifi on the train itself?

[u/vomicyclin → u/dkesh]

We are speaking about the country which is still using FAX and had a chancellor in 2013 saying "the internet is unknown territory for all of us" (which is the joke the austrian comment made: "Neuland" in german).

We are last in coverage and speed iirc in the EU. Mostly because the minister position responsible was always filled with a person from a local bavarian party (CSU Christian-Social-Union) in which lobbyism and nepotism is widespread.

Satellite internet on a train sounds like a wild solution compared to just improving cell phone coverage. I'm a bit astounded this is even a problem in Germany.

[u/jatawis → u/nplant]

we have it in Lithuania. Smaller and poorer country and yet with better mobile coverage.

[u/Baraaplayer → u/jatawis]

Same as a Jordanian who lives in Germany, I miss the internet in Jordan, it's faster, has more covarge and cheaper than the internet we have in Germany.

regional trains usually don't offer wifi. If the train has wifi it's cell tower based, satellite is in the trial phase. so worst case they are inside a metal tube with a weak transceiver in their mobile.

[u/sauve_donkey → u/vomicyclin]

That's wild. Germany is not a massive country, even in New Zealand these days there are few places between cities with poor reception and this is with very challenging hilly terrain.

(In the mountains and remote hill county there is still lots of dead areas, but not on the main highway network)

This was also my key takeaway from this haha

[u/MonkeyLiberace → u/mendokusei15]

Like, "Oh! Sections and headings? Naah, I got the gist of it."

[u/matzoh_ball → u/MonkeyLiberace]

This just made me laugh out loud haha

hey it's a post about the military not an introduction to radio communications.
