Lot of upgraded rails could have been nailed down for what was poured into Ukraine

We'd have a lot more to worry about than train derailments had we not stopped Putin's aggression at the Ukrainian border, R1.

R1 Well, we’ll just let Russia take it all. After all they are the smartest, wealthiest, and most equitable country in the world. They set a model for all of us to follow.

Old news. Theyve been shipping toxic shit like this for decades. If not since the advent of trains. The powers that be couldnt care less as long as they get their cut.

They shouldn't be allowed to ship these chemicals, especially through cities.

R1 Obama put regulations into place regarding brake requirements for trains transporting flammable materials - Trump reversed the regulation requiring superior brakes be installed , another regulation requiring trains transporting chemicals to be classified as flammable (reducing the definition to only trains carrying gas) and I believe that one was killed by chemical industry lobbyists before it ever passed.

Stopping NATO expansion, as we promised to do decades ago, would have been the correct solution r2.

To what end, R11? To just allow a reconstituted USSR invade, conquer and annex the former republics right up to Europe's door? Why do you think Putin hates NATO so... just 'cause it's the cool kids?

Sad to find out that Atlas Shrugged was instructions on how to destroy thousands of lives.Robber barons are going to be annoyed when they kill all of their workers with denial and negligence. It’s impossible to arrest every journalist

"Kill all..." of the workers, R14? Oh, we're not worried Dear!

Total government coverup. They’re arresting reporters for reporting on it.

NATO is not the cool kids r13. Not by a Longshot.

R17: Link, please.

R18: Then why do you think Putin hates NATO?
