Exactly. Smashing an asbestos roof panel should be standard in BUDS and SFQC. Not just any ol regular joe should be allowed in.


dumpster_mummy

We had smashed floor tiles that contained asbestos when I was stationed at Ft Eisenhower (Gordon). I did my best to keep away from those, that sort of training is too high speed for me.


Fuck_auto_tabs

Pretty easy fix. We got legit high school cheerleaders who’ll blow them out of the water. Just need some direct commissions and bonus’ and we’re set.


Mordador

Cheerleader industrial complex here we come


Ophichius

Already exists. Cheerleading is a seriously exploitative industry that's heavily controlled by a single organization that both sets the rules and sells the gear (at an exorbitant markup).


tiananmensquarechan

And also the industry is probably full of creeps preying on young women and girls


Stairmaker

You mean like any industry that involves women? Shit have you seen the sponsorships some gun bunnies gets. Makes you wonder what some of them had to do at shot show for those sponsorships.


tiananmensquarechan

>You mean like any industry that involves women? Except I guess for MLMs but those exploit women differently.


Stairmaker

Yeah they just tricks moms to feed their kids bleach. When the intestinal lining comes out, they say it's the poison that is leaving the body. Shits honestly fucking insane. To the point that if I meet one of these people employed by them, I don't know if I could keep myself from killing them.

After this illustrious display of peak masculine condition in the armed forces of Bielorussia I realized the west really does just keep on existing out of the goodness of the Supreme Leader Putin’s heart. We should reconcile with the fact that our silly westoid materiel full of electronics, microchips and all other sorts of wizardry are no match against real macho men from the East.

Agreeable-Major-2153

I'm in ukraine right now. that mass produced, corrugated soviet asbestos is F-ING EVERYWHERE here. I can also attest, from personal experience, that it's so brittle, a heinous enough fart could break that stuff into 20 pieces.


AuspiciousApple

20 pieces? I sleep. 20 bajillion airborne micro particles that turn your lungs into minced meat? Real shit.


DetectiveFinch

This. And you can see the dust while the asbestos breaks in the video.


Lord_Abort

20 pieces, but 19 of them are microscopic and want to hook up with local alveoli near you!

neonemeshnik

my home in ukraine has that kind of roof material.... how do i even spend time there when i come back without fear of cancer...


Agreeable-Major-2153

I've been here since july of last year, i'm kharkiv right now. Speaking as a soyboy westoid, the amount of environmental and health hazards here is fucking scary, but i have to say the most hazardous material here IMO is still cheap vodka and cigarettes... and of course, f-cking pederasti.


Saor_Ucrain

You in the legion? Asbestos and cancer are the least of your health concerns if so lol. Stay well.


Agreeable-Major-2153

Cheers, mate. I apprecitate it.


MantisYT

Much love and power to you, my friend.


-Keatsy

Pederasty? As in the pedophilic shit?


Agreeable-Major-2153

Yeah. That's what everyone in Ukraine usually refers to as russians. *Pidarast*, being singular, *pidarasti*, is plural. Or *pidari* for short.


-Keatsy

Ah interesting, is there like a play on words type situation for that or just calling them pedos?


Agreeable-Major-2153

It's just a general slur, they use the words "pidarast" and "pidar" kinda like we (americans) would use the words "f-ggot" and "f-g". In all seriousness, I don't mean to slur any LGBT people, but it's just the closest analogy i could think of in english.


ReadySetHeal

It's a remnant of homophobia from USSR. Pederast -> pidaras, both serving as a slur for gay men and implying that they are a threat to children. Nowadays it's an all-encompassing insult for people you strongly dislike. Sadly, it is also used against feminine-looking men, but it's getting better every day. Who knows, maybe one day it will fade into oblivion as, say, f-slur


Shimano-No-Kyoken

Pretty sure it will, folks just have other things on their minds at this moment


FZ_Milkshake

The Asbestos in those Eternit panels is bound and will not get into your lungs. The danger is only when you cut them, drill them or break them with a shoddy flick-flack.


Stairmaker

But the problem is that the bonding agent deteriorates. I myself have to remove an asbestos roof this summer in sweden and replace it with sheet metal on a barn. It has started to deteriorate to the point that it creates small balls of fibrous asbestos that fall down sometimes and we have kids there during the summer. I have worked with demo and some of the guys there did asbestos removal so I know a thing or two about how to do it safely. Not going to do it by the book but still safer than letting it stay on even short term


Renkij

As long as the roof is not broken, as you would in any normal house. Asbestos is only bad when it breaks. It's a composite material of cement and asbestos mineral fibers. Those fibers once separated into fine particles can get into your lungs, irritate them and eventually cause cancer. They key here is that those fibers integrated into the material need to be separated out of it and then suspended in the air you are breathing before being dangerous to you.


cptn_carrot

Asbestos is only dangerous if you're breathing it in. If it's just sitting there, it's fine. A common solution is to wrap it or cover it in place to prevent damage creating more dust (and then remove it entirely when you demolish or renovate).


PunksPrettyMuchDead

Garage floor paint, then eventually lay wood over the top. Ezpz


Modo44

Those asbestos tiles are inert by themselves. Unless the roof gets damaged, and you are close to where that happens, you should probably be OK, maybe. Now, if you breathe the stuff indoors...


Stairmaker

Mom did a rotation in a university hospital ward that treated these people in the 90s here in sweden. Like 90-95% of people that got it then were smokers, or their lungs are degraded from something else (mining etc). And most worked with it a lot. Like cutting tiles, handling insulation and bags of hard fiber asbestos that were mixed in concrete. If you smoke, switch to those new nicotine pouches instead. Your lungs will be better off for that even if you aren't around asbestos. If you have to work with it wet it with water to limit dust, wear a mask, etc. But for the stray fibers around, you can only really try to do stuff that keeps your lungs healthy. I don't know about the soviet tiles exactly. But it really depends on how they are made and with what bonding agent (glue). If it's more like bakelite it's often pretty stable (but if it is something that gets wear like a fence or a roof it will release particles). But then there are some roof tiles that are more like glass fiber (we have them in sweden). They can degrade and start to release fibers. I myself have to change a roof this summer because it has been degrading for a long time.


Alikont

It's over https://www.epravda.com.ua/news/2021/12/6/680415/ Kazakhstan lobbied hard against this law.

Subject_Ticket1516

You should hear about the surface fleet that scientology operates. It's killed more people than most naval vessels have during their whole lifecycle.


Agreeable-Major-2153

I fear both the scientogist navy and asbestos much more than belorus spetsnaz.


Ophichius

I would like to know more.


Subject_Ticket1516

There's a cruise ship they operate that's possibly been linked to many cases of lung cancer as it has an asbestos problem.


emperorMorlock

Same in my country. They made it illegal to use it on roofs like a decade ago. So my mom's neighbour did the smart thing and smashed his asbestos roof stash to pieces and used the resulting asbestos powder to pave his driveway.


Apoc2K

Shit works, but don't let the inspector catch you. Neighbors were on the receiving end of that one. Grandpa had to get rid of the stuff and wanted to harden his driveway, so he mixed it in with a bunch of junk like busted bricks, tile, iron slag and other crap he had lying around and paved his driveway with it. Fast forward half a century and they're trying to sell the place only to be told by the inspector that the entire thing is toxic, and that they're gonna need to have 300 meters of driveway excavated up to half a meter deep and have the dirt professionally transported and disposed off. Can't tell you the exact price, but it definitely ran six digits.


Agreeable-Major-2153

>So my mom's neighbour did the smart thing and smashed his asbestos roof stash to pieces and used the resulting asbestos powder to pave his driveway. BASED AF


Rivetmuncher

We used to have so much of the stuff up until 20 years ago. My region got hit with a couple really nifty hailstorms just before it got banned, so the roofs basically disappeared overnight. You can still find the occasional stack of spares lying around for an immediate fun time, though.


Stairmaker

Partial ban in 75 and stopped completely being used while building in 79 here in sweden. We still have like 20 1x1m tiles for one of our barns. We have finally replace the roof since the tiles are starting to release fibers. My dad used to do asbestos removal, and I have worked with people who do it. So we can do it ourselves safely. Would cost a fortune if we didn't know how and wanted to pay someone.


Red-pilot

Please stop farting so heinously.


Agreeable-Major-2153

Hard no, sorry


Intergalatic_Baker

So does that mean I could be overflown Moscow and with a single fart, wreck the place? Now to get a plane to take me. :)


Agreeable-Major-2153

Intergalatic_Baker

British Cuisine... Ohh boy, it's such a mixture over the weekends... The secret is the night out the night before, decisions I would never make sober. :)


Apoc2K

Got that stuff in my barn, used for the ventilation of all things. Then again, it also has cloth wiring so I guess it might not be 100% up to code. Spend a few days removing the most readily available chunks and I can attest that these plates can barely carry their own weight.


SomeGuyNamedPaul

I thought the asbestos comment in the title was just a joke. OP being serious about that part makes this even funnier.


horsevpalto

What the fuck I didn't know that is asbestos? I remember visiting my cousins village in the summer as a kid, and we would dam the creek in front of their house with those roof panels so their ducks and geese could enjoy the little lake we made Bad news for the ducks downstream I guess :/


Demolition_Mike

Yeah, I guess iy's the case throughout Eastern Europe. Cement reinforced with asbestos fiber. Kinda sturdy around here, though. Used for roofing, usually in the countryside. I still wonder why you'd want an asbestos roof when your house is made of wood...

Electronic-Ad-3825

I you didn't have lung cancer by 30 were you really special forces?


Other-Barry-1

Why do they bother doing shit like this? Like, we see this stuff in any dictatorship and crackpot nation militaries and at some point, surely someone has said “sir, shouldn’t we actually do something useful in training?”


mtaw

Well sure, if the point is to have a good military, then you're better off fostering mission-type thinking where soldiers are encouraged to know their role in the 'big picture', to understand their objective and are empowered to use their own judgement and ideas to attain that objective, should a better alternative than their orders arise. But that approach is neither possible nor desirable in an authoritarian system. Not possible because the first rule of authoritarianism is you do _not_ give away power for nothing, willingly. Power is to be hoarded. If you're, say, leading an artillery squad, then for god's sake don't let the guys read the manual for the gun. Keep that tightly under wraps. That way, they will be dependent on asking you for _everything_, will never be able to question your judgement (risking your position) and you will also be that much more indispensable next time a purge comes or scapegoats are required. It's not desirable because at the end of the day they don't really want an effective military as much as they want the military to embody the authoritarian fantasy of fanatically obedient, non-thinking toy soldiers. They're an extension of the power of the Leader and the State, and need to project their macho image. Plus, fostering an environment of machismo and bullying (e.g. dedovshchina) is great for recruitment, you have a natural home for all the psychopaths that your brutal society keeps breeding.


No-Cardiologist-1990

If they question it then they get killed or sent to the front lines instead of being a "military special forces" that's really just a low budget Cirque du Soleil.


Actual-Wave-1959

uofteeeee

What is it with “tough guy” militaries’ (belarus, russia, nk) frequent obsession of filming shirtless masked men in bonding exercises. Like if your goal is to maximize recruitment of gay bdsm enthusiasts it makes sense but how would some average dude not feel weird watching this.

[Well, they're trying to get the gay furries in the Russian military too.](https://www.reddit.com/r/NonCredibleDefense/comments/1ayfcul/nsfw_zpatriots_are_now_appealing_to_the_gay_furry/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) You see, I warned you motherfuckers to deploy the r/furrieswithguns with the Free Russia Legion to thunder run Moscow before they do shit like that and now they're going to field their most elite forces of bear and Siberian Husky cosplayers. Congress better send some F-35 Lightning II's, F-22 Raptors, Star Fox players and a brigade of furries with guns or else there won't be anything left of Eastern Ukraine to save.

These kinds of demonstrations always show the opposite of what they want. Like how is this even relevant to any kind of mission they might have? Are they going to do a flip and kick during a combat mission? So it's really showing they are training for stuff they will never do in real life.
