only if you're inside the direct blast radius
if you instead just get irradiated, you'll get radiation poisoning which will have you die slowly over the course of days or weeks depending on dose
I think I'd rather die of weaponized anthrax than having my skin and organs slowly melt from radiation poisoning.
 
Just an observation but it seems both sides are adamant at not turning this into another Syrian Civil War, all while doing everything that made the Syrian war last as long as it has.

I assume this is both for financial reasons, a European war is never good economically for the continent, but also because the invested resources that were thrown in Syria were extremely costly.

Also no one wants a second Syrian Civil War tier conflict, even though the Donbas War has lasted almost as long as it did.
 
Meanwhile a third Russian general is confirmed to have been killed in action:
Okay, this is getting absurd. The US Army lost 18 generals killed or missing in combat in the whole of the Second World War. Maybe it's just modern combat, but Russia getting to 1/6 of that in two weeks does not bode well.
 
You know all these generals dying make me wonder what rank general means in the Russian military context as well as (tinfoil hat time) how Stalinesque this seems.
These are major generals. I think they would be the equivalent of Division Commanders in the US Army though Russia organizes its units differently. There is actually nothing really unusual about guys of this rank being at the front in this sort of conventional war and occasionally dying.
 
If you go to RT's website on where to watch, they post this:
They must of gotten kicked off the Intelsat birds. IIRC I used to see RT on Galaxy 19.
Intelsat is in the EU.
Which is funny because Galaxy 19 has all the crazy Islamic TV shows MEMRI tracks.

G19 also has camel racing. Which is like horse racing. But with camels. And instead of jockeys there are robot monkeys that whip them strapped to their back. And round the outside of the the track rich dudes in land rovers chase after them shooting AK's in the air to make them go faster.

RT is to extreme now for that satellite service.
 

YouTube blocks Russian state-funded media channels globally.​

March 11 (Reuters) - YouTube is immediately blocking access around the world to channels associated with Russian state-funded media, it said on Friday, citing a policy barring content that denies, minimizes or trivializes well-documented violent events. Google, said Russia's invasion of Ukraine now fell under its violent events policy and violating material would be removed.

Remember when they got away with unpersoning Alex Jones because everyone for the most part saw him as a schizo retard? I feel like that is what is going to happen here. Blocking RT and getting no flak for it means any big tech company can silence a media site so long as it is under the excuse of muh misinformation.
That doesn't look like the girl they promoted earlier.
 
Major General is basically the equivalent of our one stars aka Brigadier General.

I have a feeling they're just being fed to the front lines.
Apparently, it's a part of their doctrine. While most countries set out a list of objectives for their troops from Senior Officers and let the Junior Officers on the front figure out how to accomplish those objectives, Russia micromanages their troops. Where most orders have to come from a Senior Officer, meaning those Senior Officers have to be near the front instead of near the backlines.
