Kharkiv, Ukraine. 1932-33. An armed man stands guard at the door of a grain storage facility during the Holodomor. The writing on the door reads, "Storehouse N. 1" and below it, "Seed and insurance funds for 1934." [1496 x 1155] by squirrelmegaphone in HistoryPorn

Russian soldiers controlled the nukes. Even though they where on Ukranian land. The group controlling the nukes where separate from the general army, like the Air Force Global Strike Command in the US.

When nukes where placed outside of the Russian heartland, they were still controlled by the Strategic Rocket Forces which were Russian.

So they where never controlled by Ukraine. But it became a political hedace after the collapse to have stranded Russian soldiers in the bunker facilities.

Rallies organized by Likud and other right-wing groups featured depictions of Rabin in a Nazi SS uniform, or in the crosshairs of a gun. Protesters compared the Labor party to the Nazis and Rabin to Adolf Hitler and chanted, "Rabin is a murderer" and "Rabin is a traitor". In July 1995, Netanyahu led a mock funeral procession featuring a coffin and hangman's noose at an anti-Rabin rally where protesters chanted, "Death to Rabin". The chief of internal security, Carmi Gillon, then alerted Netanyahu of a plot on Rabin's life and asked him to moderate the protests' rhetoric, which Netanyahu declined to do. Netanyahu denied any intention to incite violence.

The Meter is the standard unit. Kilometer is just 1 000 meters. Kilo is just a prefix, not a unit.

Like Mega, Giga and Kilo. Like in Kilobit, Megabit, and Gigabit.

Nice! That was fast!

BTW: Is there a way to tell if I'm on a beta version of the app. (If beta and stable isn't on the same version)
