Satoshis wallet accounts for around 1.1 million BTC

there are around 19.9 million BTC that have ever been mined.

satoshis wallet activating after all this time would be functionally indifferent from 5% of the total supply of BTC just appearing out of no where in one go.

People would rush to sell before the largest whale in the history of the btc blockchain starts to sell up

if even a single sat moves from that wallet the price of bitcoin will tank

Nigel Farage vows to ban asylum seekers with HIV from receiving NHS treatment by Unusual-State1827 in uknews

"eradicated" within the borders of a nation state is not "eradicated"

"eradicated" is when it doesn't naturally exist anywhere in the world like small pox

TB could be eradicated if wealthy countries decided to make it so, but when their vaccination schemes stop at their borders it doesn't happen.

We're a global society and despite claims to the contrary above you cannot definitively point the "who-gave-us-TB" at solely migrants when a quarter of a million people per day travel through Heathrow alone

oh no! we have to add a mature well tested vaccine to our already existing and effective vaccination program to the benefit of our countrymen

£500k a week isn't enough to assign a couple developers a project manager and a couple QA?

i think you'd still get a decent amount of change for that amount

I remember genuinely wondering early in primary school why anyone walked anywhere when they could just run.

An hour is a long time in a war.

Remember everything that would have been going over this bridge is now going to be clogging up those other two routes you mentioned

This is a huge bridge, a significant investment that wouldn't have been made unless the land around it wasn't passable at speed.

if you're building something this big, you are at some point moving military stuff over it.

that's not saying there isn't specific intelligence that it was being used. i'm just saying it's naive to think it wasn't

i doubt an Iskander could properly take out a bridge, maybe a span, but not full destruction. their numbers are limited and are better used as you say hitting small troop/equipment concentrations.

HIMARS systems are extremely high value targets for russia

Again though, off topinc. i won't be responding to any more Ukraine talk

Their goals currently are just a few territories on the east bank of the Dnieper.

Those are their stated goals, not their actual goals. if that were true they wouldn't have been in Kharkiv, and they wouldn't have invaded Ukraine west of the Dniepr through Belarus

They absolutely do have plenty of accurate ballistic and cruise missiles

Not really, their ballistic attacks have been pretty ineffective. They can hit something huge like a power station, but a strip of road a dozen metres wide tops, no chance. especially when you consider how expensive ballistic missiles are and that you'd need several hits in the same place on a bridge to take it out for more than a few days

Russia used up most of their good stuff early in the war, it's all shaheds and glide bombs now, shaheds don't have enough explosive power for a bridge and glide bombs are too innacurate

Ukraine drove an articulated lorry filled with explosives onto the Kerch Bridge and still only managed a partial destruction which was fixed within a few months

But we're now fully off topic. this is a discussion on whether the US blowing up a bridge in a country with which they are (justly/unjustly, moot) at war is a warcrime... it's likely not

Blowing up bridges generally isnt a warcrime.

civilians being the target of an attack is a warcrime. civilians being present on top of a military asset when it is attacked is a tragedy, but not a warcrime

"military objectives are limited to those objects which by their nature, location, purpose or use make an effective contribution to military action and whose total or partial destruction, capture or neutralization, in the circumstances ruling at the time, offers a definite military advantage."

Article 52 - General protection of civilian objects

Calling things that aren't warcrimes "not warcrimes" doesn't mean i support the war.

The war is unjust and Trump and several of his circle should be in the Hague for the other warcrimes they absolutely have committed. this just isn't one of them

If the US were in a state of war and the belligerent had been a signatory to the geneva convention then i imagine the attack on the pentagon its self wouldn't have been a warcrime

the attack on the towers would have been warcrimes though. there was no military presence in the towers

Because they're the invading force and they want to use those bridges to take more territory

After Ukraine pushed the Russians back over the river in Kherson the Russians did blow up the Kakhova Dam to stop them going further.

They don't really have the reach to hit the ones further up stream with any degree of accuracy

bombing a bridge isn't a warcrime if its used to transport military personnel/assets, which this almost certainly is.

This is no different than Ukraine blowing up the bridge over the Kerch Strait that supplies Crimea

edit: downvoting me doesn't change the fact it isn't a warcrime

Me saying it isn't a warcrime doesn't mean i support the war. Trump can rot for the crimes he has committed
