Russia has begun mass production of mobile bomb shelters that can protect against a variety of man-made threats and natural disasters including radiation and shockwaves, the emergency ministry’s research institute said.

The “KUB-M” shelter looks like a reinforced shipping container. It can give some protection against radiation, shrapnel, debris and fires and can be deployed in Russia’s vast northern permafrost, according to the state institute.

The standard unit accommodates 54 people but additional modules can be added, the institute said.

    Oh fuck I wrote a lengthy comment on mobile and it got lost without getting saved to drafts.

    Tldr I guess is that growing up I used to wonder how Hitler ever became accepted. Then in 2016 Trump won, when I thought it impossible, a meme candidate. My belief in Americans was crushed. Now again. And shameless genocide going on in Palestine. And Russia coldly invaded Ukraine.

    Growing up in the oughts as a teen, Obama as president, things didn’t seem this worrying. The drone strikes morally dubious, but not worldwide threat concerning.

    Now I don’t wonder anymore how Hitler got to be so accepted. Slowly. Step by step. With each of Trump*s elections and these conflicts, my belief in a lot of humanity decreases, and my passion about changing things in creases, yet resources to do anything about it dwindle.

    Ugh the first one was so much better grumble grumble
