SVB goes under. And just like that everyone forgot about the biggest environmental disaster in American history.
Hey, remember the collapse of FTX and Sam Bankman Fried?
Now Russia is going after US drones.... Though I wouldn't doubt that one in all honesty. The 500ml of vodka before takeoff probably doesn't help Russian pilots.
More specifically Russian vodka...

What do you have against Russia?
Russia is fucking up massive amounts of resources that could make life better for everyone on the planet.
Why do you think Russia has any obligation to "everyone on the planet"?
They don't even have an obligation to their own people.
They should be a high level first world country. They're not.
Russia could have negotiated with Ukraine. Both sides are too retarded, so they keep going with a war that's been ongoing, but just not a prominent one until the last year.
They could have simply annexed the land via a cash deal and agreement. Ukrainians love their money as we know. Now both countries are destroying demographics for a generation. They'll be in a hell hole state for the foreseeable future.
They can barely run their own oil and gas rigs without foreign assistance. If they can't do that, then yes, that effects the rest of the planet with completely viable resources sitting in the ground. Not every country has that.
I didn't know this was difficult to understand. Most/many counties have to import energy. Russia has a lot and doesn't know what it's doing.

How do you know what their plan is? Why has the US closed ANWR? Is there a strategy? Maybe the last nation to hold oil wins?
CCCP is like a circus horse: capable only of going in circles.

Not downplaying incompetence of gubbermint officials, but the article was written by a fucking idiot as well. How much tritium was in water? How does the amount of tritium in this water compares with natural concentration of tritium? How does this potential radiation exposure compare with flying in airplane to another continent?
Journalists are just as stupid as gubbermint officials, and most articles on ZH are scare porn.
We get more radiation from eating a bananna (Potassium 40 - look it up).
Journalists are just as stupid as gubbermint officials, and most articles on ZH are scare porn/clickbait.

It's better than drudgereport, completely co-opted several years ago. And it's not propaganda like all the mainstream outlets. But for you to call this an article is a bit exaggerated. It's not more than a few sentences, and what you call fear-mongering, is just them saying, why wasn't it reported sooner. Seems like you have some vendetta against the site that mainly reports on financial news, and over the last few weeks, have gotten it right more consistently than any other outlet I know.
It's a clickbait site mostly
Something Is VERY Wrong With The East Palestine Narrative ...
The question I am seeking to answer is, re dump and burn, why was this decision made? Here are my story notes-in-progress, which I would summarize as, “Good morning, it's Opposite Day."
— There has never been a dump and burn in railroad history, even in the decade prior to its being banned by 1980 regulations. There is always dump and remove, or decant (into tankers) and remove. Spills happen every two weeks — the burn part is unprecedented and there is rarely a need to dump. The typical approach is to take the contaminated dirt to a hazardous waste landfill.
— A 2022 EPA guidance, which says how to interpret laws and regs, repeats the ban on dump and burn except only after careful consideration when there is absolutely no other alternative (which has never happened in civilian society; it happens in the military).
— Fully enclosed hazmat tanker truck driver recovery operation (entirely routine procedure when there are damaged tanker cars) was initiated the night of Friday Feb. 3 — and then called off within 24 hours (on Friday night or Saturday). Who called it off and why?
— Fire lines pulled from keeping tankers cool.
— No samples of soot or wipe samples from inside the tanker cars — missing crucial data that would reveal the true nature of the incident.
— Point source soot samples are also missing. These would also be tell-all.
— Decision to breach, dump and burn was totally irrational and nobody understands it. The more experience people have, the less they understand it. EPA was involved; it cannot merely be a bystander.
— No state or federal emergencies were declared, depriving governments of emergency powers and agencies of certain kinds of authority (we now from “covid” how much power a state of emergency grants; in this case, that was never done).
— Analysis of samples from PTRMS lab (a high-end mobile chemistry analysis lab) are bogged at Carnegie Mellon, in custody of Albert Presto, who is not releasing them.
— Pressure release valves (PRVs) were working fine, per NTSB report; the tanker cars were not in jeopardy. Other reports say the VCM was not in jeopardy of exploding and besides, they can easily decanter it into tanker trucks as is done regularly.
— Five dead CTEH guys in airplane crash (eyewitnesses to point source sampling), who were at the East Palestine scene taking samples on behalf of the railroad and took samples…they died en route to the next mission.
— People are still sick in Palestine a way they should not be based on every other incident my source has worked on for 30 years. The other explanations are not very plausible, such as offgassing from stream aeration.
— Chemicals that are currently banned from production by federal law are DDT, PCBs, PBDEs, some CFCs, all chemical warfare agents and chemicals banned from production by voluntary agreement with chemical industry are PFOS and PFOA.
OK, what really happened?
Any digital media is all a lie. Any category be it news, media, hell everything on YouTube.

Nope, they all scream "can't give away these M113s while East Palestine is suffering"

As an American citizen, why do you think it's ok to send resources to a foreign country over sending resources to an American disaster?
With all the screaming and crying and gnashing of the teeth and calls for government to redirect HIMARS launchers to East Palestine ... err... relocate everybody living in the 100-mile radius of the acciden to some clean area, I haven't heard about single strong independent "half-a-cow in the freezer" consevative family offer a stay on their SHTF farm to an affected family at least until the level of pollution becomes more clear and/or cleanup is complete. Nope, they all scream "can't give away these M113s while East Palestine is suffering" and do fucking nothing to really help people they pretend to be so concerned about. Weird, huh?
False dychotomy: there is no "over" in this particular case.
This is a very valid point, governments don't solve problems they create them. But a simple internet search seems to yield a number of results that are doing exactly what you claim isn't happening:

And this is the problem with people stuck in false paradigms. You're so busy blaming the other side, you're almost always wrong in your outlook.
BTW, the conservatives I know are just as war-hawky as the libs. It's called brainwashing...

Pointed out very early on that the explosion they were supposedly preventing would have done nothing near the damage or radius of the burn.
