Russian Invasion of Ukraine (2022): Thread 1 - Ukrainian Liars vs Russian Liars with Air and Artillery Superiority

[make_it_so]

Am I a pussy for trying to duck and dodge through pictures and videos from the war zone being posted as I flick through the highlights? Probably, but I genuinely don't think I'm mentally strong enough to see real people dying and still be okay for the rest of the day. I need to go cuddle my dog.

No, you're not a pussy - just human.

did they ever bother to do anything about the elephant's foot?

Nothing they can do, other than keep people away from it. You'll die if you're close to it for more than 5 minutes or so.

There's nothing really that can be done about it. Too radioactive. They replaced the concrete shell around the ruins of reactor 4 back in 2016, and monitoring how that changes the radioactivity of the site is about all that can be done for the time being.

They shot at it with an AK. I'm not even kidding.
Realistically there's nothing to do other than leave it alone. It'll get less dangerous over time.

 

[whatever I feel like]

coach red pill dead yet?

His pro-Russian streaming has attracted at least one blue check's attention. Not sure if his spergery violates any laws but it would be nice to see him in prison, not for that but just because I hate him.

I recall that of "what if we shot it with AK?" but I mean like, I dunno, put extra crap on the floor under it so if it gloops through to the next floor there's a big chunk of lead or whatevers

To this day Glocks still feel weird in my hand.

Then again I unironically like the XD/HS2000 so maybe I'm just a faggot.

Only Make I've ever owned. I still have a Gen 1 G17
I like simple reliable

Honestly no, you're just human, having an adverse reaction to seeing human beings getting killed is perfectly normal

back when they first discovered it, 5 minutes next to it was guaranteed death.
now you can survive more than 5 minutes since the radiation has subsided, though exactly how long, i dont think people want to test it.

The problem with legacy stations like that is teleboomers slurp that shit up. The teleboomer mind is incompatible with a reality where the telescreen doesn't drip them teleboomer lies all day on the telly. They understand CNN hosts, viagra commercials, heart disease commercials, schizophrenia and bipolar drug commercials, and Applebees commercials in between air raid sirens in foreign countries. The teleboomer believes what the teleboomer sees on the telly simple as.

Every single boomer I know (regardless of claimed left/right affiliation) watches TV all the time and gets nearly all their political opinions spoon-fed to them from their preferred channel. It's like they were the first generation that grew up watching TV from childhood so they never figured out its 99% propaganda bullshit.

They believe everything the TV says, they ignore everything the TV doesn't tell them, they ridicule everything the TV tells them to ridicule, they buy everything the TV tells them to buy.

"THEY LIVE" wasn't science fiction it was a goddamn documentary.

If violence doesn't rattle you, you're fucked in the head.

my favorite part was when they rigged up a remote (by cord) controlled toy car and scooted it up to the foot

They CANT. The new safe confinement is designed to last 100 years. The hope is that by the 22nd century technology will have progressed enough that humanity will be able to safely dismantle the ruins of reactor 4 and remove the melted fuel. Bonus points if they can recover the Mortal remains of Valery Khodemchuk.

I thought names for sex change operations were getting more euphemistic, not less.

for some reason I assumed the foot was on sub-basement 10 and there was some sub-basement below it where you could stuff a bunch of extra crap to keep it from burning through the hull like Alien

You don't gotta rub it in.

Everything involved with that disaster seems to be a five year old boy’s idea of how to solve problems.

1. I’ll shoot it!
2. That didn’t work? Let’s drive toy cars at it.
3. Ok how about we put it in a really big box.
4. Bigger box?

 

[HumanHive]

Speak of the Devil...
BREAKING NEWS
RUSSIAN FORCES HAVE ANNOUNCED THEY ARE GOING TO DROP THE ELEPHANT’S FOOT INTO KIEV, CREATING A ‘BASILISK’ WEAPON THAT WILL KILL ANYONE WHO LOOKS UPON IT!

THE UNITED STATES HAS BEEN DEVELOPING ITS OWN BASILISK WEAPON, NIKOCADO AVACADO’S ASSHOLE, BUT EARLY TESTS SUGGEST IT ONLY CAUSES VOMITING - NOT DEATH.
