Ukraine

Radio Free Europe - Bombs In The Water


A few points here:
  • It seems kinda weirdly "normal". Like, it's pretty much over - or at least we're not in the middle of the shit right now - so we have a little housekeeping to do. Because removing explosive ordnance from Grandpa's favorite fishin' hole is just something everybody does, right?
  • War is all kinds of fucked up because it always carries implications that are much wider and much deeper than what we see on the actual battlegrounds.
  • Several people in France (eg) die every year because of the bombs and the hand grenades and the artillery rounds that waited more than 100 years after the "end" of WW1 to detonate.
