Are you new to the idea of a Proxy War?
The Viet-Nam war killed millions. Who started that conflict? There's a tricky one...was it the Commies sending troops down the Trail? Or was it the US looking for an excuse...any excuse...to exercise its role as top arbiter on planet Earth?
Big mystery. Perhaps we'll be able to muse about Ukraine in the same fashion providing you're nowhere near the button. Eh?

Well the fact that nukes are even on the table is an indication this Special Military Operation isn't going to plan.
What's the time table for taking Kyiv?
I'm not following the details of this war like you fellows are. I just hear buzz about nuclear weapons. Those I know a bit about.
From my point of view, this is a civil war in the former USSR. You want to make it WW3? Be careful what you wish for.

Neville Chamberlain would be proud.
It's cute talking peace when Putin is getting his ass handed to him by this fake-state "full of Nazis".
That is what you're being told, certainly.

Is the type of grooming you've been consuming to defend use of tactical nukes by Russia when/if it happens?
You don't appear to know the effects of these toys you play with...hint: away from your face.
We haven't been this close to midnight for quite some time. You can pretend the ICBMs will all fail if it makes you feel better.

Thanks Mr. Oppenheimer.
Some posts mentioned 'fallout'. Unless there's a targeting error, there's likely to be little of the Castle Bravo style radioactive pollution.

For modern thermonuclear weapons, a ground burst generally isn't anticipated. Rather, they are to be detonated a certain distance above the target in order to...
1. Maximize the Mach Stem effect re: the shock-wave.
2. Prevent the fireball from touching the ground creating all the nasty radioactive fallout.
3. Reduce the effects of uneven terrain. You cook better from above...
There's still plenty of nasty radiation from a big air-burst. But it is the ionizing sort that dissipates almost instantly. You know...after it has frapped pretty much every living cell in one's body.
The multi-megaton super bombs of the mid-20th century are a rare bird these days...only Red China still keeps a few on the rack. City busters...bunker busters...that sort of utility. Most are well under 1 megaton. Tactical weapons are of the size used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Many smaller warheads all overlapping their shock-waves proved in testing to be much more destructive than one big explosion.

To be fair, I wouldn't mind them so much if they left the board and stopped expressing themselves in general.
So how many slaves did your family own, anyways?

I'm not sure how this is all supposed to work-out while we continue to add billions of people to the population. I'm sure folks have all sorts of cool ideas.

Of course not. If everyone actually vote we may be in a different place with our society.
I'm going to bet that if one is willing to go through with the effort to post a picture and their story, they're also keen to vote Justin out.

So you believe that a 1 inch rubber sole will insulate a static discharge that can jump 6 feet through the air?
Doesn't seem likely.
If the grounding was working properly, that static charge would have dissipated constantly and never reached that high a voltage level.
Well, let's get you inside a transmitter hut and you can test that theory.

This video shows typical modern windmill construction and static discharge is not something they worry too much about. Likely due to the materials used...fiberglass and aluminum alloy. They need serious anchoring, though.
Tour the inside...
Very light construction up top.

Static build up can (usually) be easily dissipated. There was likely something defective about the installation that cost your buddy his finger.
Nope...he was just a little too careless. Rubber soles are essential around a 10,000 Watt radio tower and he wasn't wearing the right boots.

I'm betting that none of us willingly live near either radio towers or large windmills.

Let me get this straight: YES OR NO: You’re saying there’s a health danger associated with windmills?
Lets dig into that:
Windmill does two things: Wind blows blades. Is there a danger to your health from the wind blowing on something? Cause you live in a house and wind blows on it. You have trees in your yard, wind blows on it. Suddenly there’s health danger because wind blows on a windmill?
Second thing a windmill does: Turn a motor which generates electricity. Do you want to know what else does that? Why, only every other form of electricity generation, besides solar. Every One. And so does the alternator inside your car. So suddenly electric motors are a danger, but ONLY the ones 150 feet up in the air in the middle of a field? And of course, you have utterly no scientific data at all for this idiocy of yours. “They say…” But we never know who “they” are
On a typical 500'-1000' radio tower, the wind passing through the structure builds a constant static charge that needs to go somewhere. It's not insignificant as I mentioned re: your finger. Regular lightning strikes as well. We'd dig trenches radiating out from the tower site and then run a heavy gauge wire and bury it. Grounded!
I'm not up on windmill installs, but they'd also build a constant static charge as they operate. How much I'm not sure about but it's likely dealt with in the same fashion. You can live next to one if you wish...but I'd avoid them, myself. It's a lot of juice you're dealing with...your l'il pink body.

Humans shouldn't live anywhere near a radio tower...give them space. I'll assume windmills are capable of the same sorts of things seeing the static they'd build-up spinning all the time. But perhaps they're less susceptible than an exposed tubular steel tower.

Actually...he said, “They say the noise causes cancer."
Not sure who "they" are but...not really a lie...is it.
Not sure about windmills, but in my yoot I worked near AM and FM radio towers on a fairly regular basis. You could feel the power going through you...let's just say. An incident I recall was one strapping East Indian engineer fellow casually waving his hand towards the thick copper static discharge channel on a 1000 foot tower...a discharge leapt over 6 feet and struck him on the index finger. Knocked him flying. Lost the finger. Normally the channel sends the static straight into the ground...but I guess the flux just happened to be right....or wrong...depending.

Possible. Dunno. If he makes it and he sucks like Trudeau then four years later we can put in the Liberal, whoever that might be. They almost have to be better than Trudeau.
The current lot seem to all smell like a Swiss ski chalet.

Just helping validate your statement "Over two million posts apparently. Regular Canadians branded by Trudeau." Personally,I could not care less. as I don't twit.
Just passing on information from True North News, the leading conservative website
Seeing too, that upon checking, your article posted came from Sept 19th and it is now the 27th...with many new #trudeaumustgo posts coming every minute by the looks...that's a lot of people and it continues to grow.
Ignore them.
That's a plan....

War In Ukraine
in The Rest of the World
Posted
I think we're missing the point of the war in Canada. Well...why would we get it? Even those of Ukrainian or Russian heritage are generally many generations removed from the Old Country. An Old Country that everybody scrambled to leave BACK THEN. This conflict goes back to the Middle Ages if you know a bit of history. Why get involved in Europe's problems? Sort of defeats coming to North America. No?
You're all set to fix bayonets. Right, soldier? So they've got some normally sane folks like you all worked-up WW1 style over this one. Chamberlain for all his...lol...bad press...did have places like the Somme, Ypres and Verdun on his mind when he made his deal with the Devil. Churchill had Gallipoli-like adventurism behind him and luckily, he was up for one more good one re: Their Finest Hour.
The media and government both pushing for war...well, that can't be good. And not just war...get used to the thought of nuclear war. Like one can survive it...perhaps under one's desk. What will be the fallout...there's that word...if and when it is discovered just who blew up that pipeline comes to light?
