    One of the things I’ve wondered about with these tunnels is how they prevent drones from just entering at the “end” of the tunnel. Do they have a net curtain or something that a car can easily drive through/under, just pushing the curtain aside, or do they basically just hope that drones don’t get inside?

    Also, another thought just hit me: Wouldn’t it be a nightmare for logistics if someone just decided to target the poles holding up the nets? I would imagine that you could make a road basically impassable by hitting every other pole for a couple kilometers, and that could be done in a coordinated attack, since the poles aren’t exactly moving anywhere. Obviously, this isn’t something being done, so I’m really just wondering why?

      I think they did 20+5=15=3x5

      Not right, but might explain it. It’s like when 33% smaller meets 50% larger when comparing 100g and 150g versions of the same product.

      Imagine how bad all the bullets, artillery and explosions are for the wildlife! The noise pollution alone is horrific, and that is the absolute most trivial impact.

      Russia should stop fighting, they are losing everything and gaining nothing.

      This is what I’ve thought about for the longest time. Imagine the fishes getting killed by depth charges and torpedo blasts. The bombs landing on land and cratering it, killing the burrowing rabbits, insects and other underground creatures. I’ve always wondered if we have inadvertently killed animals that could have compounds with medicinal value, or just extincted a rare animal, by war. These animals would have no idea what’s going on. The bullets, bombs, planes and tanks are like spacecraft for them, as we would view of spacecrafts lasering us from heaven.

        I think this is where I was coming from with my original comment, although I had not thought about these specific things… it’s like that movie I can’t remember that came out in the 90’s about the insect that could cure cancer being killed by rainforest devastation…. Was just taking a moment to reflect how I saw this headline photo as hurting wildlife…. Regardless of which side of the war you’re on… but, and I feel the need to say it although I think I translated it wrong… fuck your Russian battleships?

    Bring this headline to year 2019 and see how people there react.

    Our new normal is... Weird.

    And sad. But in the end humanity will prevail. That much is clear now! 💛💙
