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.
Journalism without education, that's a key tenet of Idiocracy
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
I mean, it wasn't Ukraine at the time of the Chernobyl disaster.
Wasn't it?

Uh, Chernobyl is in Ukraine. So... Chernobyl was Ukraine's Chernobyl.
Ergo geography rule. Pro'lly why this is choice 196 material.
How many 9/11s is that?
it's about 7525.7143 9/11s:
usable floor space of the WTC: ~350,000 m^2
Chernobyl area: ~2634 km^2
divide Chernobyl's area by the WTC area and you get the above!
so about 7.5k 9/11s.
So called, because if you go there Chernobyl drop off
