A driver passes Russian vehicles near Armiansk in Crimea. (Second or third vehicle has the white Z marking clearly visible.)



More footage from a border checkpoint of Russian vehicles crossing into Kherson from Crimea.



Another airspace map of Europe. Note the emptiness over Belarus and Moldova.

Nukes can only make electricity, which only accounts of 20 percent of total energy use. Nukes provided about 1/4 of Germany's electricity in 2011, which means about 5 percent of total energy. Yes, Germany is reliant for oil and even more on gas from Russia, which undoubtedly influences German policy toward Russia, but that has little to do with their decision to get rid of nukes.

their decision was based on 40 years of hand-wringing and a nuclear reactor exploding in japan after an earthquake + tsunami (no, I'm not kidding).

So, gas prices already more than tripled in Western Europe earlier this year. Im guessing thats going to get even worse now.

Why exactly did they choose to get rid of nuclear power plants?

They're chickenshit. They phased it out after Fukashima, and protesters in Germany crapped their panties and took the streets.

Ukraine and Japan has kept theirs, and they are the only two countries that have INES Level 7 (the highest severity) nuclear accidents (Chernobyl and Fukashima, respectively).

A note on these airspace maps: these are usually operating off of reads on an aircraft's transponder, not a direct "body paint" on radar. This is why you can click on the plane and get all that info about what it is. The blank space over the combat area doesn't mean that nobody's flying there, it means that nobody is flying there while broadcasting exactly who and where they are.

Don't worry, the Franco-German alliance in Europe will work hard to keep the EU's illusion of being afloat up.

Worth noting that both also happened because of extreme negligence moreso than anything else. (Chernobyl because of retarded soviet educated operators and Fukushima because of greedy corporate cocksuckers trying to save a penny and skimping on the sea wall.)

Zelenskyy is an actor/comedian who starred in a politically-themed series called Servant of the People, where some guy is unexpectedly elected president. Then the real irl election came around, and he was unexpectedly elected president. I'd say it's kind of like if people loved Kevin Spacey's role in House of Cards so much that they elected President Kevin Spacey. That is who presently presides over the nation of Ukraine as Putin invades.

He was backed and funded by the owner of the TV station his show was on; the Oligarch Ihor who stole every single UAH from Privatbank

Why would you build a nuclear plant next to the sea to begin with if you know there is a risk of tsunami?

the most hilarious part in all of this is that nordstream 2 was built so ukraine couldn't fuck with the russian gas flowing through them (how did that work out), and the party who wailed for decades about MUH NUCULAR MUH PLANET is now part of the government, thus holding the bag with exploding energy prices, post-covid depression, a war in the east and people sitting on worthless e-cars soon (good luck getting that charged).

No, the hilarious part is that they will sanction Nordstream but it becomes irrelevant anyway if Russia controls Ukraine, given it was made to bypass it
