And so we begin again. Please be civil. Please less bickering. News links are a good thing.
It likely was a typo, I doubt he meant to be specific about the horsemen, just that it is an apocalyptic event.Just to be clear, do you have any evidence of an epidemic in Ukraine? That's the fourth horseman that was missing.
Unless you agree with Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman that Pestilence retired and Pollution took his place.
Amnesty International reports multiple violations of international humanitarian law by Ukraine.
In particular, launching strikes from populated civilian areas, using hospitals and schools as military bases.
“We have documented a pattern of Ukrainian forces putting civilians at risk and violating the laws of war when they operate in populated areas,” said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.
"Amnesty International researchers witnessed Ukrainian forces using hospitals as de facto military bases in five locations. In two towns, dozens of soldiers were resting, milling about, and eating meals in hospitals. In another town, soldiers were firing from near the hospital. A Russian air strike on 28 April injured two employees at a medical laboratory in a suburb of Kharkiv after Ukrainian forces had set up a base in the compound. Using hospitals for military purposes is a clear violation of international humanitarian law."
"The Ukrainian military has routinely set up bases in schools in towns and villages in Donbas and in the Mykolaiv area. Schools have been temporarily closed to students since the conflict began, but in most cases the buildings were located close to populated civilian neighbourhoods. At 22 out of 29 schools visited, Amnesty International researchers either found soldiers using the premises or found evidence of current or prior military activity – including the presence of military fatigues, discarded munitions, army ration packets and military vehicles."
Ukraine: Ukrainian fighting tactics endanger civilians
Ukrainian forces have put civilians in harm’s way by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas, including in schools and hospitals, as they repelled the Russian invasion that began in February, Amnesty International said today.

I expect neither side to take these investigations well, personally.Such violations in no way justify Russia’s indiscriminate attacks, which have killed and injured countless civilians
...
Not every Russian attack documented by Amnesty International followed this pattern, however. In certain other locations in which Amnesty International concluded that Russia had committed war crimes, including in some areas of the city of Kharkiv, the organization did not find evidence of Ukrainian forces located in the civilian areas unlawfully targeted by the Russian military.
This is the fourth thread and an apocalyptic event.Just to be clear, do you have any evidence of an epidemic in Ukraine? That's the fourth horseman that was missing.

Seems I've been hearing about a widespread epidemic for the last couple of years so why not?Just to be clear, do you have any evidence of an epidemic in Ukraine? That's the fourth horseman that was missing.

It is the type of green that a plant has when it is newly emergent and very delicate. It signifies extreme agitation more than anythingInteresting is that the fourth horseman is translated as 'pale' while the original Koine is 'χλωρός' which can be also translated green (like in Chlorophyll, for example). So, some say that the fourth horseman might be consequences brought by "Green" policies .
It could have been a missile that misfired and/or went off course. Without more information on what caused the damage i really can't say. I mean was it a missile or a shell?Obviously, it was damaged by "Russian" military strikes.
Or it could be that BBC is just unable to put into headline that the plant was damaged by Ukrainian fire and not Russian.It could have been a missile that misfired and/or went off course. Without more information on what caused the damage i really can't say. I mean was it a missile or a shell?
Bottom line, using a nuclear plant to launch artillery strikes from is just asking for trouble.
