    What the fuck is up with the huge “swipe for the next article”?

    I can’t even read this one with that in the way why would I want to swipe for the next one?

    What’s with Russia and little accidents that cripple everything. Oh it’s just a little nuclear meltdown.

      England and the US have both had nuclear accidents just not as large of a scale and they’re much much less publicized though arguably the wind scale fire was less hubris and more incompetence then Chernobyl.

        True, but there’s less safety involved when the Russians are playing to win, like the space race and so on
