Here’s an interesting thread on the types of conflicts Russia has been involved in since the fall of the USSR. This latest conflict is unlike anything modern Russia has tried before, and in the long run has almost no benefits, even if they beat Ukraine.

First bit of news the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is being shelled by Russia as I speak. There is already a fire on the site. The nuclear plant itself has of course already been shut down, and a disaster like Chernobyl is unlikely, but this is incredibly dangerous by Russia. If they managed to cause a nuclear meltdown in one of the largest nuclear…Read More
