In other foolhardy news, it looks like a bunch of Russian soldiers have fallen ill from acute radiation poisoning from going through the Chernobyl exclusion zone. https://twitter.com/visegrad24/status/1509287796065845250?s=20&t=qOZbRHwLofgEZBNLLdwk3g https://twitter.com/PeterCorless/status/1509314810705432581?s=20&t=qOZbRHwLofgEZBNLLdwk3g

The level of crippling that they're doing is really loving ridiculous. I mean I guess they basically in a way given up the attack on North ukraine, let's not call Victor yet. But they're playing now is to basically bomb the entire country into poverty. Which seems like a complete waste. I mean you want to take these places over and yet Putin is turning them into piles of ashes. I guess in a way this shows that Russia is continuing with their predetermined theory that NATO / the EU won't get involved in any meaningful way. What I mean by this is Ukraine would need a huge loan to get the country back to even 75% of its economic prowess. I mean it basically needs a Marshall plan style aid to get out of the massive hole that Russia put it into. Yes holding the country is a great win but they're not going to stop bombing the troops are backing up which means they're going to continue bombing and bomb probably more indiscriminately. It's like Gaza/West Bank on steroids with the amount of destruction. The long game in this is will zelensky be able to stay in power after the war? And I don't mean for the first few months of the war, I mean overall will this democratic government be able to climb out of the sinkhole that Russia put it into? If Russia pulled every single troop out of everything they don't already own what's to stop them from just continuously bombing Ukraine indefinitely? (S400s and s300s yeah) I mean if Russia would have bomb Ukraine for the next 6 months would NATO even do anything at that point? Especially when permanent annihilation is on the table?

Nothing like grabbing what you think is a harmless piece of junk as a memento, but is actually a very dangerous radioactive source.

ICRC statement about the warehouse in Mariupol. https://twitter.com/ChristopherJM/status/1509321414133878788 Seems like they could've left out the "we don't know what it has been used for since" part out, but maybe it's just a hardline neutrality thing.

At this point if it wasn't likely a violation of the Geneva convention painting red cross symbols on the roofs of random abandoned warehouses wouldn't be a bad strategy. Let the Russians waste bombs on places that were going to get torn down anyway.

We heard of *Russian troops stationed in Ossetia* moving to Ukraine a week ago. These are stated to be ethnic Ossetian troops, and ethnic minority soldiers appear to have borne an outsized amount of the burden of deployment so far. I wouldn't be surprised if they were at least at Donbas, which isn't that much closer to Ossetia. The post says they were in Ukraine

Let the Russians waste bombs on places that were going to get torn down anyway. Unironically at this point would be a better idea to put red cross symbols and labels like "civilians" or "children" on everything but where they actually are. Russia is trying to bomb Ukraine into submission, which means terrorizing it's people by any means possible. Labelling anything for the sake of mercy will only get it targeted faster.

Nessus posted:It seems completely plausible that if they went around disturbing the poo poo in the zone they could get a lot of radiation, especially if they inhaled dust or put it in their food, or were making campfires from contaminated forest stuff, or whatever. Weren't there Russian tanks getting pretty near the Spiciest Building? Yeah, there was a lot of concern that the Russians moving through the area were disturbing the buried radioactive earth with tanks and trucks early in the war, setting off the radiation detectors beyond normal limits. The Russian army probably tried to fortify their positions and didn't realize where they were.

Weren't there Russian tanks getting pretty near the Spiciest Building? Sure, but it just has the story hallmarks of a feather turning in to a five chickens (per second), which happens whenever ATOMS are involved. "Acute radiation syndrome" requires a big dose and doesn't seem to be mentioned in the source. Victims would probably be radioactive too, so there would be a very big hubbub in receiving them. I think the most likely scenario, if there is any at all, is that they were in a bad area and someone later said "gently caress, better get them checked out" even though they had zero symptoms. The exclusion zone itself isn't radioactive enough to give you serious symptoms with even a month's exposure. If it was, wind and weather would be spreading harmful radiation constantly anyway. That said, if anyone were to find some odd way of loving this up badly, perhaps trying to sabotage the active power plant, obviously it would be the dumb Russians.

Russia will have thrown all the best they had into this from the start because at the start of the war. Ukraine only had their standing professional military forces. But every day that passes lets them mobilize more and more trained personnel from the civilian population and make the invasion more difficult. Early victory was very important.
