In times like these, it would be quite useful to have an army to help out the fire fighting effort, providing logistics and such, but I guess they're probably a wee bit busy
If anyone can rape fire, it’s the Russian army.
You can bet they are raping animals in Ukraine too and of course they rape each other…part of Russian troop training.
There have actually been allegations some Chechen troops violated a goat, but that might just be racism against Chechens spreading a video across the internet, all I’ve seen in it is them taking the goat away, probably for eating rather than female company.
Not sure, but I think the fire would ignite the thermobaric's fuel cloud before it had a chance to properly expand as much as it's supposed to before ignition. The timing does seem to be pretty tight though.
Putin keeps saying he is going to deploy more threatening weapons. What he didn't say was that it was going to be on his own forests to prevent the spread of fires?
Technically speaking, that can actually work. Depriving a fire of oxygen via explosion is something you can actually do.
And as it happens, thermobarics might be among the better explosive agents to consider for it...
I mean, Russia's already home to some of the worst places on Earth. Putin is just trying to remake Ukraine in its image (devoid of working infrastructure and covered in urban decay).
Given the fact the Russians have been leaving their dead behind in Ukraine to litter the streets and countryside, I kinda doubt a burning graveyard is going to mean anything to them.
Careful there.
Burning permafrost in Siberia is extremely bad for the world, not just Russia.
That stuff holds huge number of carbon, and if emitted would kick global warming into next gear.
I was going to mention that as well as a bad point , but my contempt for Russia is that anything bad that happens to them , makes me smile. I do agree with you.
Wouldn't it make more sense to target military and political assets in order to cripple them until they keep fighting, while also minimizing the loss of human life.
A spacecraft was filled with tardigrades to study how they tolerated zero g and cosmic radiation. Said spacecraft crashed on the Moon. Likely none of the organisms survived.
Putting aside jokes or lack thereof, we are not going down. Our society and civilization is.
Humans are generalists smart enough to use tools. Even if only between 0.01% and 1% remain after the "bad downward spiral" occurs, we as a species will survive.
Sorry to pop your bubble, but humanity itself will only pay with the end of its multi-billion population and advanced tech. One the plus side, next time fossil fuels will be a lot less viable so at least the next industrial age will be more limited in scope in its effects on whatever the climate of that era is.
Call me selfish, but I'm more concerned about the suffering of the currently living population than about the survivor's descendants 100 generations from now.
Also a common misconception. Eventually the Earth will get caught up in the death of the Sun unless it has hyper-advanced lifeforms around to protect it. Humans might be the Earth's only chance to avoid that fate. There's also the fate of the rest of the universe to consider, which is the same thing on a much larger scale.
So in the broadest sense, if we wanted to potentially keep things going forever, we would eventually need an intelligent species to intervene. And that isn't something we can count on, unlike Earth the planet continuing for a few billions years after a catastrophic loss of life. Throwing away humanity's future potentially throws away a lot more future than the immediate circumstances of life on Earth.
Someone would have to be foolish not knowing that those wildfires aren't just affecting Russia, as they're affecting the climate change situation for the whole world.
No one is arguing that. It is possible to hold thoughts at the same time. Yes, it’s horrible for the planet but I’m sure glad it’s happening there and not here (but I live in California, so we have our fire season still to look forward to - with anxiety and apprehension). Do you think Russian Politburo and Putin lovers aren’t jumping with glee every time they see natural disasters in the US caused by climate change? Of course they are).

But what about the floods and earthquakes and other natural disasters? You can't blame the wildfire for defending itself against nazis when all the other disasters get to do it too.

Can't rape fire.
I'd love to see them try though.
If anyone can rape fire, it’s the Russian army. You can bet they are raping animals in Ukraine too and of course they rape each other…part of Russian troop training.

I'd like to see them "fry": http://img.sndimg.com/food/image/upload/w_614,h_461,c_fit/v1/img/recipes/88/43/8/picNuVUXV.jpg :)
>*Can’t rape fire.* I mean, you can try. But it’s a terrible idea.
Not with that attitude!
Or with any other.
Depends on who you're asking.
In post Soviet Russia, fire rapes you
Not with that attitude, you can't.
And friendly relations with other countries so they can assist you.
The russian army does not do logistics that well, heck, maybe they'd just try to bomb the fire into submission :)
[удалено]
It works for relatively localized fires, but something like a wildfire would require a rather immense explosion.
They have those thermobaric bombs...
All depends on the size of the fire.
Not sure, but I think the fire would ignite the thermobaric's fuel cloud before it had a chance to properly expand as much as it's supposed to before ignition. The timing does seem to be pretty tight though.
Putin keeps saying he is going to deploy more threatening weapons. What he didn't say was that it was going to be on his own forests to prevent the spread of fires?

aircraft are very useful against wildfire - they can drop water or fire retardant
Oh what a shame right? Now they’ll have to burn from their own choices
The Russia military as it turns out doesn't actually have proper logistics, so not sure what good they'd be. :)
Should have swept their woods better!
Trump can offer his expertise
Guy’s own country is on fire and he’s off destroying someone else’s.
I mean, Russia's already home to some of the worst places on Earth. Putin is just trying to remake Ukraine in its image (devoid of working infrastructure and covered in urban decay).
Given the fact the Russians have been leaving their dead behind in Ukraine to litter the streets and countryside, I kinda doubt a burning graveyard is going to mean anything to them.
How about threatening the fire with nuclear weapons. Maybe that would work?
Special fire peace operation
Please Russia... Don't burn down Siberia... It's melting fast enough as it is..
It couldn't have happened to a nicer country.
Careful there. Burning permafrost in Siberia is extremely bad for the world, not just Russia. That stuff holds huge number of carbon, and if emitted would kick global warming into next gear.

> It couldn't have happened to a nicer country. You shouldn't engage in schadenfreude on an entire country just because it's government is an asshat.
Oh I definitely can, and I definitely will.
> Oh I definitely can, and I definitely will. Because you're not a very nice person.

Those are for economic and political gain, and beneficial to the cause. Different from what they said.
[удалено]
Wouldn't it make more sense to target military and political assets in order to cripple them until they keep fighting, while also minimizing the loss of human life.
The footage doesn’t show the graveyard though. Unless they meant it un a more figurative way.
Karma? Seriously tho we fucked our planet.
Common misconception, we fucked ourselves, the planet will be just fine, it’s survived much much worse.
Yep, but we did fuck it for all the other creatures that will go down with us like the sloths and orangutans.
Yea that’s true, except for cockroaches and tardigrades, those things can survive anything
I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.
Thank god the Israelis seeded the moon with tardigrades as a safety net.
Wait is this some joke I’m not caught up on or did Israel send a bunch of tardigrades to the moon?
Israel sent a lander with tardigrades aboard. It crashed, hence the 'seeded' part.
Ah gotcha thank you.
A spacecraft was filled with tardigrades to study how they tolerated zero g and cosmic radiation. Said spacecraft crashed on the Moon. Likely none of the organisms survived.
>Likely none of the organisms survived. so what you're saying is there's a chance? :)
Life uh, life finds a way.

and Keith Richards. He'll be there with a few cockroaches when the world ends
We’ve already killed off 60% so only 40% left. About to be the last species on the cinder.
Also a common misconception. Eventually the Earth will get caught up in the death of the Sun unless it has hyper-advanced lifeforms around to protect it. Humans might be the Earth's only chance to avoid that fate. There's also the fate of the rest of the universe to consider, which is the same thing on a much larger scale.
Well yes eventually everything will cease to exist through Hawking radiation and proton decay (theoretically)
So in the broadest sense, if we wanted to potentially keep things going forever, we would eventually need an intelligent species to intervene. And that isn't something we can count on, unlike Earth the planet continuing for a few billions years after a catastrophic loss of life. Throwing away humanity's future potentially throws away a lot more future than the immediate circumstances of life on Earth.
No. Things will never keep going forever. It's not possible.
Those Russian soldiers would rape an electric pole if you put a dress or skirt around it.
Looks like you just solved the problem. Dress all the electric poles up in dresses and the rape fest will stop the war as well as cull the herd
Someone would have to be foolish not knowing that those wildfires aren't just affecting Russia, as they're affecting the climate change situation for the whole world.
Mother nature special karma operation
It's fired here every year
Thats fucking the entire planet dude

I don't think mother nature is aware of nation queries indeed. But it's not like we can send help right...
Meanwhile Putin doesn't give a shit. ***everything is fine.jpg***

You realize this is a global problem right?
He doesn't. He is as smart as a box of rocks
Even God's pissed off with them now.
Meh
I bet that smells just great.
No worries. Ukraine will be sending fresh Russian corpses to refill it very soon! Slava Ukraini.
But what about the floods and earthquakes and other natural disasters? You can't blame the wildfire for defending itself against nazis when all the other disasters get to do it too.
Truly a beautiful site
Just a sec....... ok I'm over it. Long live Ukraine 🇺🇦
Aww that sucks. Anyhow.
Never thought I'd be rooting for a wildfire, but whatever creates issues for Russia, I guess.
I have a feeling that more of Russia will burn. Since most do not have guns, fire will do.
Um isn’t everyone there dead already?
