    Forgive my ignorance, but am I the only one who thought Chernobyl was not in use anymore? 
    From what I see, production at the plant stopped in the year 2000.
    Wow that's crazy. Yeah I remember the encasing of concrete from that HBO show a few years ago. I just assumed the whole plant was decommissioned at that point.

    If you click on the Twitter feed for the tank videos, the comments are saying it’s old Syrian video, not from today.

    I thought the same. They moved a giant cement dome over it that was supposed to last like 50 years and are in the process of planning the upgrade.
    So I don’t know what staff were evacuated. A few decades too late for that.

    Well, reading this isn't very reassuring.


    Decision to invade Ukraine raises questions over Putin’s ‘sense of reality

    Officials in western capitals concerned by ‘despotic mindset’ of Russian president and rambling Monday speech increased doubts

    It is not but its still spewing radiation and needs clean up as well as monitoring. I have a friend who is a robotic engineer and he toured the site in a competition to come up with a solution to cleanup and contain the mess. His idea didn't win. Its going to be with us for a long, long time.

    let's be honest. we heard the same hyperbole coming from trump for 4 years. and we heard from "people in the know" that trump was on the brink of a total mental collapse the entire time.

    Just looked it up. The new structure was built in 2020 and this one is supposed to last 100 years. Then they’ll just cover it with more cement I guess.

    With my anxiety in complete overdrive and the fact that I know I shouldn't do this I'm going to ask anyway.  How do we see this playing out? Does Russia attack North America? Ukraine surrender relatively quickly and become neutral like Finland?
    Nuclear attack?
