That's about the most hardcore, badass gesture I've ever seen.

Since we've got the weakest president in the history of the United States, this is a good time for other nations to do whatever they've been thinking about doing but were afraid to do in the past because of possible repercussions.

Belarus has officially engaged in the war against Ukraine with Russia, bolstering the attack on Kyiv.

Chernobyl showing increased levels of radiation after Russian forces take control, Ukraine says.
How pleasant and predictable. Surprised this got out.
(NEXSTAR) — Officials in Ukraine say measurements at the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster have shown increased radiation levels after Russian troops took control of the former nuclear power plant.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Friday that Ukrainian officials believe the increased radiation may have been caused by military activity or vehicles “stirring up soil still contaminated from the 1986 incident.”

The IAEA added that the readings, while elevated, still remain “within the operational range.”

“The IAEA assesses that the readings reported by the regulator — of up to 9,46 microSieverts per hour — are low and remain within the operational range measured in the Exclusion Zone since it was established, and therefore do not pose any danger to the public,” the agency wrote Friday.

The IAEA’s main concern, however, is the continued and safe operation of Ukraine’s nuclear facilities amid an attack by Russian military forces.

IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi added that it was of “vital importance” that the country’s plants not be disturbed, according to Friday’s news release.

Russians push toward Ukraine’s capital; residents take cover
Ukraine’s State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate (SNRI) first relayed news of Chernobyl’s increased measurements earlier on Friday, after observing higher levels of gamma radiation “at a significant number of observation points.” At the time, the agency said it was “impossible” to determine the exact cause of the radiation because of Russia’s military forces.

In response to SNRI, nuclear watchdog group CRIIRAD, based in France, quickly issued a statement warning that Chernobyl contained several sites which were “reservoirs of radiation” that could easily become more problematic if hit by mortars or shells, or if fires broke out in the area.

“Everything must be done to keep their safety devices in operation,” wrote CRIIRAD, which said it was also working to determine if the elevated levels could have been caused by electromagnetic activity or misrepresented due to cyberattacks.

CRIIRAD also urged that respiratory protections — for any workers allowed to remain on the site — are imperative as the soil contains a “cocktail” of radioactive substances.

Advocates fear fate of 100K orphaned kids in Ukraine
As of Friday, the IAEA reported that Ukraine’s nuclear reactors continue to operate safely, though Director General Grossi said he remains “gravely concerned” about the events unfolding in Ukraine.

Stirring up contaminated topsoil, vs the entombment of the breached reactor and 250 tons of radioactive slag being compromised (which is fear all the sensationalist media is trying to sell) is a distraction.

Just like driving on a dirt road stirs up dust, it is no where near the the same thing as a dust storm.

True but concerning if it were my dirt road. Chernobyl happened due to Russian incompetence. I do not trust the Russians one bit. Remember how long before the Russians informed the rest of Europe in 1986?

Chernobyl has been showing increased levels of activity in the nuclear slag pile under the sarcophagus for a while now and it isn’t entirely unexpected.

sigmonkey for the win!

The propaganda and media distortion is plainly visible on all sides.

Always a good reminder.

The First Casualty of War is the Truth.

If you have never experienced the propaganda push surrounding war, the totality of the inbound bullsh*t can be destabilizing, overwhelming and unnerving. It’s one of the reasons why CTH doesn’t share immediate information. Everyone has an agenda.

Good examples of this are provided in their article linked below.
