Chernobyl is in Ukraine, but the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone laps over the border into Belarus and the two countries have cooperated in keeping it safe for the last couple decades or so. The exclusion zone is enormous, there are a few people who live within it - caretakers, some police, folks who work at the now-decomissioned nuclear plant (after Reactor 4 exploded, remarkably, other reactors at the site were still used for a long time, well into the 90s I believe). Tours go there, there's places nobody's allowed to go but you can tour Pripyat, a few other places. A lot of the radioactive soil has been gradually buried by new leaf fall etc. although plant and animal activity (and vehicles) can stir it up and create higher hazards. There's also a river, the Pripyat R, that feeds into the Dneiper, and the exclusion zone actually laps over part of the Dneipr: that's a major waterway running right through Ukraine, including right through Kiev, and then running south to the Black Sea. I imagine Russia had several reasons to seize both the plant and the Exclusion Zone. One is just as part of the process of securing their border; if they didn't take it, it'd be a place where perhaps Ukranian fighters could hide, and then subsequently attack supply lines or something. Another is to ensure that radioactive material isn't available to civilians to create toxic weapons (a "dirty bomb" or whatever). Maybe a third is an attempt to reassure Europe that the site remains in safe hands? And maybe that waterway is or will be critical for logistics, part of the assault on Kiev, etc.

I think he's desperately afraid someone not in his pocket will make a movie about him. I think if Musk somehow managed to get convicted to a lengthy sentence for one of the many crimes he' committed and continues to commit you'd probably get a very unflattering movie about, but unless he like, murders Grimes or something I doubt he's ever going to get arrested.

Skwirl posted:The invasion still loving sucks for Ukrainians, but holy poo poo lol I feel compelled to always point out that I am not an expert on military tactics or geopolitics, but there’s been concern that Putin’s ego won’t allow for actual embarrassment here and it’s likely to get much nastier with civilian targeting and poo poo in the days and weeks to come. Russia has made steady gains in the east if the reporting is to be believed and while they haven’t steamrolled Kiev, their personnel and budgetary advantages will almost certainly put them over the top—especially with an emotional rag like Putin directing them. My wife works closely with a bunch of remote Ukrainian contractors and we are both really worried about them. poo poo’s hosed.

Like where are the theories about radioactive zombies, or supersoldiers, or dimensional gateways etc. Why can't QAnon divert their attention to something entertaining? There’s a tribe of children there who had a rare reaction to the radiation- they stopped aging in 1986. Each of them could be an eternal source of adrenochrome.

Bird in a Blender posted:The US military is the only one that understands basic logistics. Got it. International logistics is very hard, or so I have heard. For me, full understanding of domestic logistics is above my pay grade. International logistics in and out of a hot zone is even harder. The US Military is the only org with the combination of vehicles to move stuff, trained people to pilot those vehicles, and *here's the kicker* readily available fuel to power those vehicles and trained mechanics to keep those vehicles moving. I say that when I hate the enormous amount of money that is spent on the US military on either the enormous grift (hello Halliburton and your cost plus contracts that incentivize transporting lovely products that have to be replaced at cost plus again) or the bone headed poo poo that just happens through the giant bureaucracy like the $200 screwdriver. I'm in awe of the actual logistics side of everything.

If this is true, then pretty much no one is capable of waging war ever. Russia is an oil producing country attacking a neighbor with the help of their friend Belarus. This shouldn’t even be that complicated for them.
