Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

Jesus dude, your own CDC citation says it's used in radiotherapy to save lives. Do you actually read any of this shit, or are you one one of those retards who wears hemp socks and drives a prius because maths is hard?

The dose they use is not the same as what was emited by a pile of Uranium Fuel literally burning. It's also effective against cancer BECAUSE it's such an efficient vector of radiation in the human body, and it long half life means it can be stored for long periods of time without losing effectiveness.

Nah, worrying about military Russian aggression is fine. But fearing that the corpse of Dostoevski or Gagarin is going to molest western youth is retarded. And if you value your life, don't say that the ban of Russian blue cats was justifiable.

Why would anyone worry about Dostoyevski or Gagarin when we could be worried about more pressing issues like Nabokov, you know that pedophile slavs hold up as a great author. But hey Dostoyevski and Gagarin were probably pedos too seeing as slavs are so backwards they had to be dragged kicking and screaming out of cavemen behavior. Not like anyone gives a shit about Dostoyevski or Gagarin anyways, if I wanted to read emo garbage I'd read some old livejournal archives.

So how long until we blame the ddos attack on the Russians?

It's quite possible the Ghost of Kiev is actually the ghost of Jan-Michael Vincent. Has anyone seen them in the same room? Didn't think so.
Or maybe the Ukies have superior 80's synth rock to the Russkies.

Either way, fuck you for giving me an ear worm.

What was the plot of that show? They have an unlimited fuel and maintenance budget and fancy helicopter and do what?

The Mariupol Zoo

A kind of island of sweetness in the middle of urban nightmares. However, only at first glance.

As a result of shelling by Ukrainian units, many animals were killed there. Including the whole camel family, except for the mother.

The director says that when he came to their aviary after the blow, the dead camel cub was lying on her.

Now the father of the family is being eaten by a local dog. The corpses haven't been removed yet.

It's a cruel picture, isn't it? But without embellishment.

It always sucks to see zoos during war or natural disasters, because they always get the short end of the stick.

The EU has recognized the safe use of beetle larvae.

Apparently, there will be a fucking famine soon, and therefore the Goyropeans will eat it.

Yeah, that's what they said during Lend-Lease, too.

 

[Borscht]

Yeah, that's what they said during Lend-Lease, too.

And Russia finished paying it off in 2006. Over the course of sixty-five years. I am not sure Ukraine needs a burden of that size on its post-war economy.

I found an even more intriguing article on the website.


More than $3 billion has already been received. Another $ 10 billion is being negotiated — Shmygal
If the price of pork and mail-order brides does not increase eight times, I see absolutely no option to pay this amount, even within 15 years, except if this debt is forgiven.

Pretty wholesome I wouldn't mind a whole TV show of military cooking.

Let's see what the official story is

The U.S. asked for $1.3B at the cessation of hostilities to settle the debt, but was only offered $170M by the USSR. The dispute remained unresolved until 1972, when the U.S. accepted an offer from the USSR to repay $722M linked to grain shipments from the U.S.

So the Soviets got it at half price, not adjusting for inflation. And likely the Americans not demanding full price either. And still had to link it to grain shipments.
If there are going to be demands for Ukraine to repay western nations they will likely get a equal rebate and the option to pay it in grain or minerals.

How would you reconcile the idea that Russia's campaign is going badly with the fact that Chinese support for Russia has gotten stronger since it began?

Good question. Perhaps a way to increase Chinese influence with Russia - "we gotta stick together against the West". However, that influence will only go so far. Russians still don't think that much of Chinese, and Chinese don't think that much of anyone who isn't Han Chinese.

Mi-28 going down

Kill is being credited to the British Starstreak system. If true, then this marks the first combat kill for the Bongs' crazy direct-impact AA system.
