Considering that most of the contamination is in the soil, disturbing it by driving or walking released contaminated particles en masse which they massively inhaled.

That sounds like a bad move. Out of curiosity do you know how polluted the pond and rivers are on the map?

wishful thinking, unfortunately they are political and social roaches.
they have no ideology or moral compass to guide them, instead they are led by carnival barkers and pillow men and bolstered by c00ns.
they will morph into whatever form available in order to continue goose stepping backwards in history.

That’s absolutely why so many MAGA types have loved Putin for years. He represents what they wish the U.S. was more like, and what they’re scared the U.S. is moving more and more away from. They want a nation that is white, conservative, Christian, anti-immigrant, against multi-culturalism, unapologetically bigoted, with leanings towards facism and authoritarianism, etc.

And BTW These folks on the far right hate when black people, women, and other non-white males don’t “know their station”. They only tolerate those people when they’re in societal roles that are acceptable in their eyes.

They fantasize about an ethnostate and Russia is about as close to one as can be found.

Russia drafts 134,500 conscripts but says they won't go to Ukraine

Russia drafts 134,500 conscripts but says they won't go to Ukraine

LONDON, March 31 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin on Thursday signed a decree ordering 134,500 new conscripts into the army as part of Russia's annual spring draft, but the defence ministry said the call-up had nothing to do with the war in Ukraine.

The order came five weeks into Russia's invasion, which has run into fierce Ukrainian resistance. Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday that none of those called up would be sent to any "hot spots".

The issue of conscripts' involvement in the war is highly sensitive. On March 9, the defence ministry acknowledged that some had been sent to Ukraine after Putin had denied this on various occasions, saying only professional soldiers and officers had been sent in.

Putin's spokesman said at the time that the president had ordered military prosecutors to investigate and punish the officials responsible for disobeying his instructions to exclude conscripts.

The annual spring military draft, which runs from April 1 to July 15, will affect Russian men between the ages of 18 and 27, Putin's decree said.

Shoigu said on Tuesday that those called up would begin to be dispatched to their assigned bases in late May.

"Most military personnel will undergo professional training in training centres for three to five months. Let me emphasize that recruits will not be sent to any hot spots," he said in remarks published on his ministry's website.

However, Mikhail Benyash, a lawyer representing several members of Russia's National Guard who refused an order to go to Ukraine, said that under Russian law conscripts could be sent to fight after several months of training.

Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24 in what it called a special military operation to demilitarise and "denazify" the country. The war has killed thousands of people and uprooted millions.

In recent days Russia has reframed its objectives, saying it never intended to take the capital Kyiv and other major cities but is focused on "liberating" eastern areas where Russian-backed separatists have been fighting the Ukrainian army since 2014.

Its statements have been greeted sceptically by Ukraine and Western governments. Military analysts have suggested the declared focus on the eastern Donbas region may be an attempt to make it easier for Putin to seek a face-saving exit.

I think they had a lot to gain. For 1 Russia trust with the partnership which they could use to influence other countries. 2. It could of stage them as an equal to America/NATO in the world stage. 3. This destroys their hope for a Taiwan invasion in the future.

Russia is a gas station with nukes. Whatever influence they have is directly related to energy and/or their willingness to bomb, hack or kill (themselves or helping someone else do so). Obviously important, but there are limitations (as we're now seeing).

Even though China is in a mad dash to try and compete w/ the US militarily, they're smart enough to realize that it's best right now to concentrate on growing their soft power through trade/alliances/foreign aid (silk road initiatives for instance). China actually does not want a full on confrontation with the US. The only way I could see China resorting to a military takeover of Taiwan is if a US president is elected that explicitly refuses to come to Taiwan's defense. I dont see that ever happening unless the US is in the midst of some drastic decline that pushes it to turn inward.

Putin is gonna wind up sending in waves of infantry on foot into cities not yet taken or destroyed.
he's gonna rely on the old "Quantity has a quality of it's own" shyt just like papa Stalin would have wanted. :snoop:

and it still won't be enough. :why:

this Wagner Group shyt is :pachaha:status btw.
there are like 7,000 of them total last count :unimpressed:
