Kyiv mayor Klitschko tells Reuters that five blasts hit city's CHP-6 power station, northeast of the city. "The situation now - without exaggeration - is threatening for Kyiv. The night, close to the morning, will be very difficult."

Does not look to be true.

BBC anchor is taking this Russian beaurocrat to the cleaners right now on tv. Former foreign minister to russia. This guy is as looney as Putin.

synopsis?

GERMANY FOREIGN MINISTER BAERBOCK SAYS PUTIN'S OFFER OF TALKS IN MINSK WAS "POISONED OFFER" AND EU MINISTERS DID NOT EVEN DISCUSS IT - GERMAN TV

— *Walter Bloomberg (@DeItaone) February 25, 2022

Essentially BBC asking for explanation on what particular threat Putin thinks Ukraine poses etc…. The former foreign minister said:
1) Putin is completely justified in his actions to protect Russias sovereignty against bad actors
2) Ukraine has been infiltrated with nazi's and Russia must go in and denazify the Ukranian government.

Then the BBC guy while still being fairly objective tried to dismantle and challenge him, asking why Russia has provided no evidence to the UN and other world leaders, why there hasn't been any record of abuses and aggression by Ukraine etc.

The Russian kept going on about nazi's, brits and americans et etc. Nutjob he came across as

Basically all of his tweets are in caps because that is how Bloomberg terminal puts them out

Chernobyl issues. The amount of radiation seeping out there is measured in sieverts. Above 10k approximately about 30 days before you die.

Depending on the wind, and how many sieverts are in the air, the damage could filter into the water system, or worse be sorta to a nuke.

---

How much is a sievert? Because yesterday I saw the per hour rate at Chernobyl went from 3200 to 65,500, nSv

---

When dealing with radiation, it really matters with regard to exposure per time (those figures you are quoting is probably per hour). A sievert is generally indicative of a 5% chance of cancer in a lifetime in terms of risk.

nano is 10^-9 so 65,500 nanosieverts is 0.0000655 sievert

---

According to that website, 65,500 nSv is basically nothing. Add 3 zeros to go from micro to nano. https://www.familydentisttree.com/the-honest-truth-about-radiation-from-dental-x-rays/

---

---

The dental xray lasts a second or two at that dosage. Rad exposure dose is based on strength of exposure multiplied by the duration of exposure. So if they are seeing 65.5 millisieverts per hour, and they get exposed to that level for 30 days, you are looking at a total dose of 47 sieverts.

---

Sorry to be that guy, but this calculation is still off by a factor of 1000.

65,000 nano Sieverts (nS) = .065 milli Sieverts (mS) = .000065 Sieverts.

Exposure for 24 hrs / day for 30 days = .000065 * 24 * 30 = .047 Sieverts.

I find myself being continually surprsed that Russia has largely ignored it's own doctrine. So many areas of attack with little to no prep of battlefield.

The taking of the airfields was great for them, but you have to think that their timetable is shot to hell because the heavies couldn't get there to hold the ground.

Just a really curious action IMO.

---

very strange to land some Spetsnatz or paratroop aviation infantry in that chopper borne attack on the airport outside Kiev.

unless you had heavy transport planes landing 10 minutes later bringing in armor and artillery

---

The Russians have a long history of very questionable tactics.
I recall an entire mechanized battalion being wiped out in the Grozny center, because they sent in BMPs into the center of a hostile city, and none of the troops disembarked.

I am constantly dumbfounded how many Russkie choppers are just flying around near populated cities.. and not a single RPG is fired.

Much less javelins or stingers.

We are talking about technology from 1964 here!!

why in the @#$#@ didn't the Ukes pass out 3,000 RPGs all around the country?

Yep, I skipped the micro between nano and milli. Good catch.

They have to have them.

-- Hhmm, it seems they can't say who actually shot the ships, just as likely the Ukraines. It seems a gun battle was ongoing in Maripoul
"He did not know who was behind the missile strike,"
-- no evidence to suggest shipping is being targeted by either side...quote " there was nothing to suggest they were being targeted"
-- the ship that was offshore was crewed by Russians...seems a funny choice for Russia to take...probably easier to just appeal to their patriotism

When any Washington establishment RINO declares a reason to escalate, get NATO and thus us involved, you should all look deeper. I'm just old enough to remember the Gulf of Tonken...

wouldn't the Ukes just run around finding the beacons

and then set up ambushes for when the Russkies come walking by?

Honestly, I don't know how the Russians are using them. Is it navigational for troops? Used for bombing?

Ukraine has been telling people to break them or report to local authorities.

And what you're saying makes sense to any logical person. I 100% agree with you. What I'm saying is look at who we are dealing with. Putin doesn't get told no by his own people. If he thinks Finland is a threat it becomes a comparable scenario. Non-nato country on his board that might join NATO. He's already shown how he handles that.

Wolverines!

I wonder if these things are "breadcrumbs" for infantry or beacons for airborne and artillery attacks?

We have prepositioned heavy equipment in several key locations throughout Europe and at sea for this specific instance.

buddy of mine in the army was set to get moved to Ft. Hood after graduating from Lt. Col school... he's now getting reassigned and will likely be heading to Europe to fight those drunk ruskies.
