This might be why, if true.

Russian training is wild. Apparently the soldier at Chernobyl actually dug into the dirt…which is only advised if you want to glow.

How long did it take until someone in charge told them thats a horrible idea???

Maybe he wanted to become Captain Russia. That might help.

Dave Rubin told us that the Russian army doesn't have Emma's and other woke characters! And since getting sick is a conspiracy created by Soros, Hunter Biden and Fauci we can conclude that the Russian soldiers didn't get sick but just going on holiday.

Also since this is a special operation another conclusion we can draw is that the Russians aren't soldiers but tourist.

They were practically digging their own graves. Russia clearly didn't subscribe to Netflix.

A lot of them are poor rural kids with limited education and who weren't even born when Chernobyl happened. And apparently they hadn't heard about Chernobyl either.

The crazy thing is, the only thing you need to see to know that something major happened to young men in the USSR in the 80s is their demo pyramid. As bad as what happened b/c of china's one child policy, but skewed the other way. The russians who were 18-40 during the late 80s have the same demo skews towards women that they had because of the aftermath of WW the deuce.

I imagine Russia isn't that keen about teaching their children how 'they' caused the worlds biggest nuclear disaster.

these are the numbers ukraine is putting out in regards to the russian losses :

Planes 131, 35% of 375
Helicopters 131, 55% of 240
Artillery systems 305, 13% of 2,300
Tanks 605, 36% of 1,700
Armored vehicles 1,723! 40% of 4,300
Soldiers killed ~17,300, 12% of 150,000 (ground force)

For every killed the math was 2.8 (or 3) injured or missing. So thats what 50k ish?

So just under 50% ground forces wiped? Seems huge.

Ukraine also said it has smashed 50 out of 115-120 Russian battalion tactical groups. Not wiped out obviously but made them unviable and unable to be combat effective due to losses.

All of this worth the Donbas? loool

At this point I don't think it even matters if those numbers are inflated or not, even the more modest estimates of Russian losses from other sources are disastrous. And it's only been a month! Imagine if this goes on for another.

All I can say is NO FUCKING DUH. Unless you are equipped with the proper gear, they were going to get that poisoning eventually. I know Putin is known for poisoning people with polonium, but jesus fucking christ, now he is killing is own loyal troops with an area that no one wanted. Apparently they are taking them by the bus load to Belarus because they are getting sick with radiation sickness.

Too bad it wasn't the entire force of 200k that dug around there. Best sort of invading terrorists are ones that take care of themselves.

Apparently a lot of them didn’t even know what the area is cause a group of them went joyriding through the red forest, that probably wasn’t very healthy of them.

You should not wish radiation poisoning on your worst enemy.

"Another said a soldier sent to work alongside them in the facility ‘did not have a clue’ about the notorious explosion at the plant, one of the world’s worst nuclear disasters. He said: ‘When they were asked if they knew about the 1986 catastrophe, the explosion of the fourth block (of the Chernobyl plant), they did not have a clue. ‘They had no idea what kind of a facility they were at. We talked to regular soldiers. All we heard from them was, “It’s critically important infrastructure”. That was it.’"

Jesus christ. This is why history education is kind of important, y'all.

Loyal...debatable:

"We’ve seen Russian soldiers – short of weapons and morale - refusing to carry out orders, sabotaging their own equipment and even accidentally shooting down their own aircraft," Fleming said."

They presumably have these devices given to each soldier. It's their own choice which way to go.

Still ? And what is your point anyway ?

[Poopymonster]

It probably partly is. Gives a convenient cover of plausible deniability.

It also lets the US gov't Keyboard Kommandos claim it was Anonymous and not them.

Is it surprising that Russia would simply not teach Chernobyl though?

Or at least fail to really mention and linger on it?

They won't count as killed in action when they die now, so no government payout.
