Chernobyl

I'm up again, can't sleep, so I decided to watch a movie on Amazon called The Chernobyl Disaster. Just the opening scene as a drone hovers over the abandoned city of Pripyat is worth the watch, a 1,000 square miles of fallout wasteland.

I have watched a few of the documentaries like "My Nuke is Bigger Than Your Nuke", but few dwell on the boring devastation to the Earth and humanity. They said this disaster claimed 1,000 square miles. Now envision the fallout from just a few nuclear warheads dropped around our infrastructure, and it's easy to see the apocalyptic scene found in movies.

Maybe if they are trying to frighten us into the reality of nuclear warfare, they need to spend less time on how big a hole the bomb makes and more on the estimate of 1,000 years before the land is livable. What have we created?

I did find the talk of how Russia used the KGB as a tool to control the narrative given to the public amusing, sound familiar?
