Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RattleCanAR: The Russians know how to fuck up nuclear plants and that plant proves it. The other reactors there ran for a while after the accident but I think they are cold now. It would not take much to cause more problems there and it is any easy target because it will raise fear but the area is already devoid of people. If they blow the new safe confinement structure and reactor 4 remains it would be "Not Great". http://users.owt.com/smsrpm/Chernobyl/glbrad.html https://www.science.org/content/article/nuclear-reactions-reawaken-chernobyl-reactor |

Discussed earlier in ARF, but glad to see others using common sense:
Ukraine Needs Ground-Based Air Defenses Way More Than MiGs. Here Are The Best Options What's even stranger is that somehow, as part of the MiG transfer drama, some in the media and on Capitol Hill reimagined the utility of the decades-old MiG-29 variants in question. While these aircraft do have an austere ground attack capability, somehow they have morphed into being a pivotal air-to-ground platform capable of unilaterally wiping out massive columns of Russian heavy armor that sit under their own anti-air umbrella. This is pure fantasy that has been created by people who have no idea what the MiG-29's capabilities actually are and think it is just an analog to a late-block F-16. And even then, their understanding of what an F-16 is actually capable of would also have to be of Hollywood action film level and outright divorced from reality. So no, a MiG-29 armed with a couple of rocket pods or a few dumb bombs is not going to repulse Russia's northern advance to Kyiv. And any mission of that sort has a high probability of being a one-way trip, regardless. |

There are some real hard charger types and plenty of former service who would jump at any chance to do something other than sling MREs once every 5-7 years. Because it’s been lulled into “the Red Cross in uniform” you see many SDFs dying on the vine because quite frankly, it’s largely not worth the personal costs and training to never get utilized. So you have driven younger people who leave and you have an aging leftover who treat it more like a social club. |

I heard that Putin had attended the Young Global Leader conference of Clown Schwab's WEF and that he had been a speaker at several meetings. Well, apparently Putin fell from Clown's grace and Clown booted Putin from WEF. To me this was an honor because only azzwhole globalsh*ts would belong to that demonic group.
