You mock, but it is a fascinating place.
I visited in 2019. You get only an hour or so in the hot zone and a whole lot of disclaimers to sign, but it's an interesting and eerie experience. One that makes you think too. A monument to both the technology of the cold war, the hubris of the leaders (on both sides honestly) and the poor ordinary folks who live with the consequences.
Slightly more radiation over the visit than a typical x ray, but nothing awful, although I'd absolutely not live there longer term.
I should also recommend the Sky miniseries 'Chernobyl'. A good little primer into the events that happened which whilst carrying a degree of bias is still tastefully and sympathetically done.
I think it was mounted cops not RCMP.
They are Canadian I am sure. UN couldn't get its act together to decide on lunch let alone deploy troops to another country on a short notice.
Not to mention if that were the case the current government would be finished.
Oh good Lord. They no doubt were staged from an abandoned warehouse and deployed from black helicopters.Is it true that these guys in Ottawa with black helmets molesting the truckers and their supporters are not Canadian troops? I have seen speculation that they are UN shock/riot troops and many of them do not speak English nor French?
What's amazing is the number of people that believe this sort of stuff. UN as an organization is a dysfunctional body, can not do anything without a majority of the Security council authorizing it.
Canada under the emergency decree can deploy its own troops, it doesn't need foreigners to clamp down on its own citizens.
That being said, what's going on over there sure makes me grateful about our Bill of Rights and Constitution.
BTW, what's going on in Canada is NOT any different than what has been happening in Australia last two years except they did not need to declare martial law.
Trudeau has changed the narrative from "peaceful protests" to " acts of terrorism" by foreign actors and right-wing racists. Of course, the government owned State media reports it as such as well.My brother in law is an officer in the Canadian military. Their senior brass have made it fairly clear that they won’t be deploying against peaceful protests. Let’s hope Trudeau had overplayed his hand on this one.
And thank God for the constitution and a republican form of government. The liberal elite in this country, abetted by the media has been attempting to do the same thing with the capital demonstration and riot (while ignoring the BLM riots). DOJ's conclusion that domestic "terrorism" is the greatest threat to the country underscores that effort. But the constitution still protects minorities from the lockstep tyranny of a majority. With just a bit of luck, the coming election cycle will be an opportunity to begin to reverse this tide of liberal orthodoxy. Such a reversal will be much harder to accomplish in a parliamentary democracy where the creation of coalitions empower 36% of the electorate to exercise dictatorial power (I don't know how else to describe the current state of emergency in Canada).Trudeau has changed the narrative from "peaceful protests" to " acts of terrorism" by foreign actors and right-wing racists. Of course, the government owned State media reports it as such as well.
He also does not need troops, there are plenty of police officers willing to do as they are directed it seems.
I am glad I am not a Canadian.
