I love how it's called "collapse" instead of bombing.
it was an explosives-assisted collapse
It suffered from explosive dysfunction
Explosives-involved structural failure
Premeditated accident
Uh, Chernobyl is in Ukraine. So... Chernobyl was Ukraine's Chernobyl.
Ergo geography rule. Pro'lly why this is choice 196 material.
I mean, it wasn't Ukraine at the time of the Chernobyl disaster.
also known as Soviet Ukraine or just Ukraine
yeah it was “just Ukraine”, not “Ukraine”
Daaaad
Due to the excellent reputation of their justice system
Actually it was The Ukraine meaning something like borderlands ( on Wikipedia ). When USSR fell and Ukraine gained its state independence, the term to describe the territory was depreciated by the state and adapted as its name.
I meant Ukraine, the country. It wasn't independent.
For example, I don't think anyone rational would pin the Chernobyl disaster on Ukraine leadership, policies, or decision making. And it was not Ukraine, the country (as in, a political entity), that had to deal with the political fallout.
I don't think anyone would pin the dam collapse on Ukrainian leadership either.
I didn't mean to imply that they would.
All I mean to say is that the headline doesn't strike me as as dumb as people are making it out to be.
Just another "gotcha". I feel the same.
I could understand what they were implying. Some people lemmy.
So called, because if you go there Chernobyl drop off
