It just struck me watching this, seeing this show's date of broadcast and knowing what we know now about the after-effects because of the Chernobyl series. Akimov, Toptunov, Ignatenko, and all the others were just beginning to go through their absolute hell right about the time this broadcast was happening. Very sad and chilling to think about.

1. Chernobyl is what massively aided in ending state communism in the USSR as it practically decimated the economy by costing 50% of a years total GDP of the USSR and vast exhaustive quantities of resources. Now it could have lasted and reformed but to provide the space to do that Gorbachev would have had to have been willing to set the army lose on the peoples of the Union, and he was not willing to do that. He and a few of the top lot had hoped that by deciding to dissolve the soviet union that Russia and the associated now independent nations would all be aided and invited into being a part of Europe and more integrated into the global economy and an end to NATO. The west was not prepared to do that. NATO is far too profitable to capitalism to have ever have dissolved it when we should have, and we needed to manufacture an enemy in the east to keep legitimacy for it so western leaders did as they were told and enacted 20 years of for profit military expansions all around Russia leading us to the present conflict with at least a quarter of a million dead Ukrainians and another half of that in dead Russians. 2. China has lifted 850 million of its people out of poverty over the last 40 years while in most western nations poverty stagnated to increased over the same period among the bottom 50% of the populations of a given western nation. In China 72% of millennials own there own home. In the UK my nation for example, it is barely 40%. In China, they cannot change their politicians but they do petition them en mass and those politicians change their economic policies with speed, to meet the needs of their people BEFORE the wants of the capitalist minority, In the west we change our politicians all the time, but never our economic policies to meet the needs of our people before the wants of the capitalist minority. By every metric regarding standards of living, China's are consistently heading higher, and ours across the west for most people are falling, with them presently falling in the UK at their fastest rates since the Napoleonic wars. Confucian Communism which is wildly different from what the USSR practiced, did not infect China, for better or worse, it saved it from becoming like us. Corrupted by capitalism, with governments bent to the will of the capitalist minority before any other, and with media and the majority of centrist and right wing politicians in their pocket simultaneously across most western nations rendering voting worth less than spit while defending genocide and proxy war. When the poorer peoples of the world look for examples to follow to provide prosperity for all, it is not to the west they look any longer. People in glass houses should never throw stones.

The great Casey Kasem voicing the Dairy Queen commercial.

Take stock of this news report. 24 hours prior, the worst people were thinking was that there was a meltdown at the plant. Now, they learned that it was far worse. The area became Hell on Earth. I wish no human being has to suffer through nuclear disasters like this again. But I fear with the war-hungry world we're living in we may see it sooner rather than later. And sadly, in this case, intentionally.

When the news was actually that, and not opinion and not spin.
