Radiation Containment A New Concern In Russian Nuclear Incident | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Can’t wait to see the HBO series on this latest Russian nuclear debacle.
@alex silent wow well I wish you and your come add all the best. I hope your country does super well and our country’s do the right thing
@alex silent so who do you think was the last bad one I don’t want to get me or you in no trouble
@Warren Holly Yeltsin or Gorbachev – hard to choose the worst. Both are responsible for collapse of Soviet Union and the aftermath: economical collapse, criminal rampage and Chechen war.
Can’t wait to see the HBO series on the Adam’s Apple on Transvestite “Rachel”. lol
“the radiation level is normal…”
Translation into English: “your baIIs will glow in dark for rest of your life”
@TokyoTraveller More like a Dangler fish.
@T Allen is that what they are called? my bad.
IT’S THE MARK OF THE BEAST!
@TokyoTraveller Guess so; if you consider that the angle of the dangle depends on the heat of the meat.
Will Transvestite “Rachel’s” Adam’s Apple glow in the dark?
Now Russia has a bunch of people glowing orange just like our president. Serves them well.
Raging Monk 😂😂😂
It sounds like the people who were in charge of Designing that rocket we’re the ones caught in the blast. That is a serious setback it could cancel the program
@James Ricker ,”That is a serious setback it could cancel the program”
Have you studied Russian history? lol
That was a very unempathic joke. Ordinary Russian citizens aren’t responsible for what their murderous dictator in chief is doing.
For one, this is heartless, and two, do you have ANY idea how far reaching consequences something like this can have? The neighbour countries might soon see their meters show the fall-out, too, depending on huge the incident was.
And these are the folks that hacked into our Election and put Trump in Office and poised to do it again…
@Herbalattraction3000 Manafort, Flynn, Gates, Stone, Cohen? See the pattern MUELLER was going for if he had been allowed to go after TRUMP? HES THE UNAMED UNIDICTED CO-CONSPIRATOR AND FELON OF COHEN and WILL BE ARRESTED AS SOON AS HE STOPS HIDING BEHIND THE WH and acting like he’s a legitimate President, when he’s a PERVERTED CRIMINAL and “NATIONLIST”
Mary Simson, that’s true, one stinking o-ring. I was being sarcastic about the Russian’s capabilities. And I’m not worried about their propaganda bullsh*t, most of us can see through that. Like, when has a Russian troll ever fooled you or changed your mind about anything?
What I’m more concerned about is them electronically changing actual votes. That’s no silly mind game, that’s a physical attack. One that Trump welcomes with open arms. Again.
@Brian Walsh Doesn’t matter. This is an obviously aggressive act of war. America should be ready to retaliate immediately. Oh, that’s right, Putin bought off our politicians and gave Trump a pass on his debts by having him launder Putin’s blood money
@wily wascal Shut up, stupid hippie Qtard.
@Brian Walsh and that’s exactly what’s going to happen they want a collapse under it’s own weight…and dry wood catches on fire fast, when America realize their REPUBLICS democratic electoral process is being RIGGED by the names not matching up with faces that are showing up with proper ID It’s going to be total CHAOS AND PANDORA BOX and mental meltdown on a society that’s allready overly mentally tasked under such domestic atrocities of lated and especially the last 3 yrs.
TREATY OF PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP 1736 to present DAY
Is t’rump going to speak out against Russia and actually protect America?
Haha! Now you’re just Putin me on!
I’ll show myself the door now. 😄😆😅😂
😐🤔🤣😂😂
“There is good radiation on both sides.” –Donald von Bonespurs
Hell’s NO. He’s ll go on and on about Baltimore and lie about The Border and how great he thinks he is.
I asked Mr Putin, and he very strongly assured me the radiation is very fine… on both sides
Two people dead and four people injured.
Did Putin put the Adam’s Apple on Transvestite “Rachel”?
Frederik Hirche 🤣😂
Luc Préfontaine 🤣😁😂
Adam Świtlak 🤣😂👏👏
The number of rusting nuclear reactors in Russian harbours…..thin end of the wedge.
It was one of their rusted nuclear missals built in the 70s with a warhead that can’t take a fuel explosion. I don’t understand the reactor power other than steam powered or electric powered, the electric power would have great range but be very slow with a prop engine and the steam powered would be heavy and slow.
@myko freder What seems that they are trying to build is a scramjet missile using nuclear reactor so it could travel at hypersonic speeds for a very long time (days or even longer) before being sent to hit its target.
@myko freder granted it’s ‘new’ tech being the source of the current ‘glitch’. But it’s the smorgasbord of old reactors rusting away in derelict soviet era ships and subs that’ll devastate the region(s).
Putin’s emergency meeting: “Right we are going to need the propaganda channels, contact RT overseas and find someone like Kellyanne Conway for our state media and scapegoats people! Get me scapegoats!”
Ann Owens : Bless you, Ann. You’re well read, which is nice, too. 🙂✌️👍
@Ash Roskell ….Take care.✌
@Ash Roskell
I should point out that trumps response was to say that the USA started this insane repeat of the cold war & already has such weapons.
He’s well known for being caught off guard & spewing top military secrets while rambling. There is only 1 I know stupid enough to start this old garbage idea up again & its trump.
However, if the USA did this 1st, it world make perfect sense for Putin to feel compelled to try to build his own.
Otherwise, it makes no sense for Putin to do so because he already went through this before & recognized it was not viable.
Also Russia is by far not the only bad actor in regards to nuclear stupidity.
Adam
Nice!
Putin directed them to not evacuate.
When Russia says 5 people have died – it usually means 5000!
Alan Moss : So, Mr Putin . . . You took the Nukes OUT of the warhead, and put them in the OTHER END of the missile, and your, “experts,” convinced you that this was a, “GOOD idea?” . . . Maybe we won’t have to have a Cold War II, after all? Maybe you’ll just nuke yourselves? 🤣😆😂
No, not 2019!!! The year is no longer 1983.
@Warrior Son Ah, Russia – the home of the world’s most horrific understatements!
@Eugene Wang ya know whats really scary, russias official deaths from chyrnobyl is 31 STILL TODAY
The place is actually flourishing after the Hoax.
The first thing they should do is get Sara Huckabee Sanders for a spokeswoman….
Richard Johnsen Yes yes! Bring her to the disaster site for the news conferences Also Kelly Ann Rudy and Moscow Mitch should be by her side!
It might have been a shock to you seeing that in the White House, but it’s a norm in Russia.
Or shawn
Trump to Putin ( unrecorded phone call ) “ no worries Vladdy, send the nuclear waste to us. I have many many Indian reservations to dump it on.”
Maybe they can sell it to the mining companies to bury in Bald Eagle nest?
@Boyd don’t joke bro. They’re trying to pull back restrictions on the endangered species act. That might be a possibility. (It’s prolly cause that bald eagle freaked out on trump.)
“neit neit, fake news, now watch the great putini make reporter disappear.
Spelled Neyt!
bushpilot2001 nope, it’s “nyet”.
Like I always say, if you are going to be a grammar nazi, you need to learn some grammar first. That goes for spelling too.
Putin strongly told me the situation is covfefe and this is not like our 7/11 disaster that made my building the tallest in Manhattan.
Deep State striking back, issues stern warning to Putin and Russia not to mess with US!
Haaaa. Thanks man.
Ttump said that? We’re in deep covfefe.
Good comeback. 😀
When somebody I like tells me that everything is fine, I treat it with cautious optimism.
When somebody I don’t like tells me that everything is fine, I treat it with restrained pessimism.
When the Russian Government tells me that everything is fine, I’m probably already dead.
Russia’s clearly in over its head, where responsible and competent nuclear containment procedures are concerned.
If you can’t work safely, you shouldn’t be working at all.
Completely agree, it’s just how do you tell the Russians that?
@Brandon Moreland u can’t
Sean Biggs or their citizens are expendable
But that’s because Russians don’t have the word ooopppss in their language.
The place is actually flourishing after the Hoax.
Why all the fuss? It’s not as if the USSR or Russia have ever tried to cover up a nuclear accident before is it? 🤔
Ha ha ha
Has anyone seen the HBO mini-series, “Chernobyl?” Hearing this after having watched that…yikes.
It’s worth noting the science in that show was highly dramatised – radiation is no joke – but the way they portrayed was kinda laughable.
biggest difference between Chernobyl and this is that this is in Russia, Chernobyl is in Ukraine and Belarus, places the Russian government don’t mind if folks die, this is in mother Russia herself. Might be some backlash, but I doubt it.
The place is actually flourishing after the Hoax.
trump will call it a russian nuclear hoax.
no fusion collusion.
Far too witty for Drumpf…smaller words…fewer syllables.
I’m dying 😂😂😂
My wife was a young girl when Chernobyl happened, and she lived about 100 km away. She and her siblings all have health issues. These are exactly the same kind of lies her family were told by the Russian government in 1986.
@Ari Technically yes, but it was the Russians doing all the “talking”
That’s horrible. How traumatic for her and her family and friends.
🤔🤔
Yes, Big Pharma often tested biological agents presented as “vaccines” on Ukrainians. Blamed it on “Cancer” and even on “Chernobyl”. The place is actually flourishing after the Hoax.
Sooooo this happens only days after Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. Great.
