I remember a while back, all the rage on popular mechanics was offshore nuclear powerplants for third world countries. Rosatom was I think the closest to making that 'a thing' along with some American company

Aren't you usually hosed if you actually have your femoral artery severed by a gunshot wound?

Most wounds are from fragments, which are incredibly variable in size and energy. Pieces of the same shell can cut someone in half and get stopped by a few layers of clothing. So you have a huge variety of possible wounds, which could include arteries being nicked in a treatable way.

it does depend but sometimes huge injuries aren’t fatal, for example im aware of a case of a farmer who managed to lose his forearm in some machinery and managed to walk away and get to hospital, purely thanks to the arterial wall spasm stopping him from hosing out all his blood

first off, sorry for not putting a warning about the fake blood, I'm gonna edit my post

but to answer your question from what I know you might survive (might) if the bleeding is stopped rapidly and you get rushed to an hospital asap. Which is kind of why super secret elite ninja death commandos 7 billion kilometers behind enemy lines "operating" as hard as humanly possible make for cool video games and action movies but aren't great IRL because it turns out teeth to tail ratio matters.

I think that's the one that's going to crack ping me about how the press can lie about stuff. The masterful use of passive voice, the quote of tweets and video analysis to excuse what is still obviously a warcrime and the fact they still don't even realize they admit to another illegal act when they they say the standard practice is to cuff and blindfold POWs

Moscow accused the United States of toxic anti-Russian behaviour and said this prompted it to postpone nuclear arms talks with US officials in Cairo this week.

“In all areas, we note the highest level of toxicity and hostility from Washington,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Telegram.

“As part of the all-out hybrid war unleashed against us, almost every US step towards Russia is subject to a pathological desire to harm our country wherever possible.”

oh, word? well what about

Al Jazeera posted:

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has reaffirmed the alliance’s commitment to Ukraine, saying they will one day become a NATO member.

Stoltenberg’s remarks came as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his NATO counterparts gathered in Romania to discuss increased support for Ukraine as Moscow continues to bombard energy infrastructure.

“NATO’s door is open,” Stoltenberg said.

“Russia does not have a veto” on countries joining, he said about the recent entry of North Macedonia and Montenegro into the security alliance. He added that Russian President Vladimir Putin “will get Finland and Sweden as NATO members” soon.

The Nordic neighbours applied for membership in April, concerned that Russia might target them next.

“We stand by that, too, on membership for Ukraine,” the former Norwegian prime minister said.

right, right. ok poland, what are you up to? i see

Al Jazeera posted:

The Polish government plans to charge Ukrainian refugees for food and housing after four months of staying in state accommodation.

More than a million Ukrainian refugees made a temporary home in Poland, Ukraine’s western neighbour, after Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, relying on the kindness of strangers who opened up their homes and government aid.

But resources are drying up, and refugees are having a harder time finding flats and getting support, with Poland facing a cost of living crisis and budget strains.

“Citizens of Ukraine who stay in Poland in collective accommodation centres will participate in the costs of housing and meals,” the government said in a statement.

Those staying in such accommodation, for example, government-funded hotel rooms or school dormitories, longer than 120 days will have to cover 50 percent of the cost up to 40 zlotys ($8.87) per day, per person.

After 180 days, it would be 75 percent of the cost up to 60 zlotys ($13.27). Those unable to work because of their age or disability would be excluded, as would pregnant women, according to the plan.

The government wants the new rules to apply from March 1, 2023. The bill will go to parliament, where it is expected to pass.

Al Jazeera posted:

The US Department of State has approved a second arms sale to Finland within a month, helping Russia’s Nordic neighbour in its bid to strengthen its defences due to the war in Ukraine, Finland and the United States said.

After Russia invaded Ukraine in February, Finland’s government decided to grant an additional 1.7 billion euros ($1.77bn) to arms and other defence material purchases this year alone.

“A very significant share of it will go to [purchases] from the US,” Governmental Counsellor Iikka Marttila from Finland’s Defence Ministry said.
