  1.  @alexanderaleksandar2030  Saying "the West" instead of actually naming countries is your double standard, because "the West" can change to include or exclude countries even in the same sentence. That's why lumping broadbrush terms like "The West" is a sign of emotional rhetoric.

  2.  @karneez  There's also a difference between culture and heritage. There's no genetic memory that transmits culture through the blood. Being born and raised your entire life in Russia means that is the culture to which they are most exposed. Children of immigrants act differently from their parents because they've absorbed the social norms of where they were raised. People born and raised in Ireland scoff at "Irish" things like St Patrick's Day celebrations in the US. Tryhard foreigners claiming Irish ethnicity are called Plastic Paddies. Why would it be different elsewhere?

  3. Margarita Simonyan was born in Krasnodar. Her dad was born in Yekaterinburg. Her mom was born in Sochi. All in Russia. That makes her Russian, not Armenian. How do you not know how ethnicity works?

  5.  @fakshen1973  When you get older, you'll find the horror of the firebombing of Tokyo is nothing compared to nuclear. If firestorm is literal hell, so are large wildfires which happen every year. The horror in the Maui wildfire was how it was unexpected, not in the fire itself. It did not have the same effect as The Year Without a Summer caused by volcanos in 1816. If a nuclear winter was more intense than that volcanic winter, then that is why nuclear scenarios like Threads still holds horror compared to the firebombing of Tokyo or Dresden. The BBC was banned from broadcasting The War Game for decades due to fears of mass suicides.

  11.  @emmettturner9452  You downplayed and ignored johnridout6540 repeatedly when they corrected you on "The Cloud": "...But you’ve steered my off track...I’m not trying to say that telecom sats are more crucial than undersea fiber optics or terrestrial microwave....Even your landline calls often rely on telecommunications satellites these days." Why are you so fixated on naming specific types of telecom? What makes "The Cloud" is that all that background telecom is abstracted away. It's functionally invisible to the end user and telecom agnostic to the service provider. If you didn't understand that, your understanding of "The Cloud" is feckless.

  15.  @ChucksSEADnDEAD  the 1950s is usually picked as the "pre-EMP" era for the USA but 1990's Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union was a return to the past for those who lived through it.

  17. FYI, an EMP does not work line-of-sight if it is high enough. The Compton scattering of the blast can travel along the Earth's magnetic field, ignoring the curvature of the Earth. That's how the Starfish Prime EMP test in 1962 reached Hawaii and New Zealand.

  22. "A flat Earth" is misunderstanding the problem. Are you saying another Carrington Event can't happen? It's not the line of sight blast, but detonations up around where the Van Allen radiation belts start where the EMP can ride the Earth's magnetic field. The Starfish Prime tests reached from Hawaii to New Zealand and generated their own artificial radiation belts that lasted for months.

  31.  @MrCalls1  ethnicity is not phenotypes. Jewish is an ethnicity. How does a religion determine your phenotype? If you convert to Judaism for your spouse, do your genetics change? If a child has a Jewish father and a non-Jewish mother, the child is not a Jew, but a mamzer.

  32.  @Suksass  "son is still jewish. They are just not considered as such by jewish religious laws." You can't be Jewish if Jewish laws say you aren't. That negates the whole point of ethnicity. Ethnicity is gained through upbringing not parents. An adopted kid doesn't magically speak the language of their biological parents if they weren't raised with them.

  33.  @arjix8738  belonging to a D&D group isn't an ethnicity. every American is American by definition. The problem is you feel the need to have absolutes. But something can be two things at once. Your dad is both a father and a son at the same time. Maybe a brother and a husband too. It is possible to be both subjective and objective at the same time. They're not opposites on a scale. They are just properties like height or weight or temperature. People say they're half-American and half-Chinese, but they don't give half a Chinese passport and half a US passport. No, you have two passports. Thus two ethnicities.

  40.  @eragonship4929  Starfish Prime tests in 1962 damaged electronics in Honolulu and New Zealand (~1,300 kilometres (810 mi) away) AND generated artificial radiation belts that damaged satellites Ariel 1 (UK), Traac, Transit 4B, Injun I and Telstar I (USA) and Soviet satellite Cosmos V with each pass through the field. All of these satellites failed completely soon after Starfish detonation. That's more than "maybe 1 or 2 satellites" and the sky is crowded with many more satellites today.

  41.  @mr.nemesis6442  Is Amazon or your local supermarket EMP shielded? Look at what happened in the 2021 Texas power crisis. Or the same crisis repeated in Texas a decade earlier during the 2011 Groundhog Day blizzard. The cycle will repeat when the Texas power grid crisis will happen again in 2031 because they ignore it. And that's just a snowstorm. It's not going to be any comfort if Texas troops are those who didn't invest in EMP shielding, just like Texas ERCOT didn't winterize the power grid to cut costs and boost profits.

  42.  @johnridout6540  Compton scattering follows the Earth's magnetic field, not the curvative of the Earth. If the STARFISH PRIME explosions damaged electrronics in Hawaii and New Zealand, then "curvature of the Earth" is not the solution you think it is.
    1
  43.  @pgpython  No, High-altitude nuclear explosions create artificial radiation belts that last after the blast. Satellites on the opposite side of the Earth will be damaged each time they pass through the artificial radiation belt. The radiation belt created by the STARFISH PRIME test damaged satellites months after the blast. Not even the military has all their equipment shielded. It's limited to only those most likely to need it, like military satellites threatened by solar storms.

  44.  @emmettturner9452  She was describing the effect of the EMP OVER Siberia. The high-altitude EMP occurs between 30 and 50 kilometers (19 and 31 miles) above the Earth's surface.

  45.  @johnridout6540  Electromagnetic radiation can curve around the Earth by following the Earth's magnetic field, so the curvature of the Earth does not matter.

  46.  @johnridout6540  The inverse square of the distance does not matter if the EMP creates its own radiation belt like the Starfish Prime test did in 1962, which lasted for months, damaging satellites with every pass.

  48.  @ravensblade  Do you know how far a ICBM can go? Most satellites are in the LEO zone below 2000km. The Minuteman III can reach 8700 miles. The RS-28 Sarmat can reach 18000km. Besides, the same rockets that put satellites into orbit can be used to reach and destroy them.

  51.  @johnridout6540  High Altitude nuclear tests never got anywhere close to Geostationary Orbit. The highest nukes were Argus III (540 km) and Starfish Prime (400 km). The highest Soviet nukes were 300 km and 290 km. That second test (a 300 kiloton at 290-kilometre (180 mi) altitude) created an EMP that fused 570 kilometres (350 mi) of overhead telephone line with a measured current of 2,500 A, started a fire that burned down the Karaganda power plant, and shut down 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) of shallow-buried power cables between Tselinograd and Alma-Ata. Why would they go any higher if they got that massive effect?

  53.  @Stormcloakvictory  Nuke EMPs can create artificial radiation belts in orbit which act like solar storms because they both use the Earth's magnetosphere the same way. "internet will survive a mutual assured destruction scenario/nuclear winter" How does it do that exactly? Are you talking about the ability to reroute? That was great in the 1970's ARPANET compared to the circuit switching of the old telephone network but today it's more complicated than that. Look at why Facebook disappeared from the Internet on Oct 4 2021 due to a cascading number of problems.

  61.  @itskyansaro  The distance between Russia and Alaska is only about 80 kilometres. Why wouldn't the United States be included in your "quadrant of earth" model? Wouldn't a quadrant that centered near the International Date Line stretch at least six time zones to Chicago? Six time zones in the other direction still wouldn't make it outside of Siberia. How is that "technological suicide" if no railways exist for over 2,800 kilometers (1,700 mi) in any direction from the Russian side of the Bering strait. The nearest major connecting highway is the M56 Kolyma Highway, which is currently unpaved and around 2,000 kilometers (1,200 mi) from the strait.

He repeatedly criticized Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov, blaming them for the country's military shortcomings and accusing them of handing over "Russian territories" to Ukraine. He demanded they be handed over, which is why he went to Rostov-on-Don to capture them. They left for Moscow so he tried to catch Shoigu and Gerasimov before they reached Moscow. When Wagner didn't catch up to them, they turned around before entering Moscow.
