Rosatom releases previously classified documentary video of Tsar Bomba nuke test

We finally have footage of the explosion that resulted from the largest and most powerful nuclear weapon ever created - the Soviet built 'Tsar Bomba'.

The following Youtube link [HERE] is timestamped at the moment where the bomb is launched and subsequently explodes.

Goddamn

Considering this new release, imagine how much cool Soviet propoganda-documentaries they have on tape lying in a vault somewhere that has never been publicly released for PR reasons - probably a gold mine!

I still haven't been able to find a decent documentary/biography on a few Soviet general secretaries - Andropov, Chernenko, and Malenkov.

Lol. Can't Biden do anything right? At least steal your material from an obscure Ugandan politician or something.

The mother of a man fatally shot by Louisiana police said her son was intelligent, shy and had sought therapy for social anxiety. Her lawyers said they plan to sue over the death of Trayford Pellerin, who police said had a knife and was trying to enter a convenience store.

The shooting Friday night was captured on video, and the state ACLU condemned what it described as a “horrific and deadly incident of police violence against a Black person.” Both the ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law Center quickly called for an investigation.

Guess what? You can’t use a racist political structure to fight racism.

An analysis by The Associated Press of policies on ketamine and cases where the drug was used during police encounters uncovered a lack of police training, conflicting medical standards and nonexistent protocols that have resulted in hospitalizations and even deaths.

On Monday, it will have been a year since McClain, 23, was stopped by officers responding to a 911 call about a suspicious person wearing a ski mask and waving his arms. Police put him in a chokehold twice and multiple officers pressed their body weight into him.

Paramedics were called and injected McClain with ketamine, but they incorrectly estimated his weight, giving him more than 1.5 times the dose he should have received. He got 500 milligrams because they thought he weighed 220 pounds, but he was only 140 pounds and should have received 315 milligrams.

I didn’t know the paramedics were helping the police by sending people down k-holes. Kind of has a Huxley vibe to it.

Biden would probably steal his Ugandan speech from Idi Amin and hope no one notices.
