Oh, im a Biden fan, he’s just been a bit crap

He stinks. I wish the Democratic party would do better because unlike the GOP they have factions that are better but ultimately America is basically an Oligarchy and the wealthy aren't going to allow any true socialist party to arise.

Russian troops have taken Tshernobyl

 

[Jamiednm]

That is properly worrying

Why?

 

[Jebus_lives]

Your country has already given Ukraine NLAW missiles and many Russian tanks have been effing busted with them so give your Johnson hate a rest mate

Yes Captain

The terrorists who did 9/11 had thier reasons too. You can give all the reasons you want. Two cities worth if civilians. Incinerated alive. Targeting civilians to get what you want is the definition of terrorism. Whatever the reasons the terrorist give to justify. They wanted to cost maximum civilian casualties and maximum damage to get the point across.


They could have demonstrated thier new found power in a better way than killing two cities of civilians. It was pure evil no matter what reason like ending a war sooner to stop more military casualties.

It wouldn't have stopped them if it hadn't have been as powerful message, there was still a portion of the Japanese leadership who still wanted to fight on to the bitter end AFTER the bombs dropped. 9/11 has absolutely no correlation to do with what happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki so that point is irrelevant in the extreme.

If another peaceful solution could have been found then great, it couldn't and what happened even though repulsive stopped millions of Japanese civilians from suffering the same fate through conventional bombing and fighting that would have taken place to take these cities. It's easy 70+ years after the event to say you shouldn't do this or that, during that war those choices were real, hundreds of thousands vs millions.

Not really, who's going to F*** with a nuclear disaster zone? Not even Putin is that stupid.. close enough to russia to cause major issues there too.

Yup, would make no sense whatsoever to sabotage the containment area

Yeh, it’s a shame. You have a similar situation to us, in that it’s the lesser of two evils. Rather Biden/ starmer than trump/Johnson all day long

Protests in Moscow. Many, many Russians will be against this, particularly the younger generation.

They want the road it leads to. They see it as the gateway to the rest of the country.

They have a legal obligation to fight for japan in the event of an attack

Would they?

If they were under your command, I would imagine not.

In the real world, I have no idea. Hopefully we will never find out.

Protests in Bulgaria as well, if it matters - we were directly addressed by NATO/the EU about this and we responded somewhat adequately, saying we will provide shelter to the Ukrainians (we have Bulgarians and Bulgarian Tatars in Ukraine as well) and siding with them and NATO, obviously.

Protesters so far have been burning Russian flags and voicing their opinions for the Ukrainians in front of the monument of the Soviet Army and the Russian Embassy and more pro-Russian places as well.

It is just a gesture, but the US embassy down here in London is lit up in blue and yellow tonight.
