A gift that keeps on giving. All the wonderful things Karl Marx gave to the world.
Who cares? A strong India is good for the U.S.
How's the warranty?
I almost feel sympathetic to Putin. With his attempts to sell anything to anyone for money.

2nd rate $hit to 3rd world countries.
Russian technology and military equipment is pawned to whomever has the cash.
Call Toshiba/Westinghouse.... best technology.
Chernobyl as an example isn't quite fair to the Russian nuclear industry. What Chernobyl proved was that you shouldn't run experimental tests on nuclear reactors that involve disabling their normal safety features, not that Russian nuclear reactors are unsafe.
That said, better a French or Japanese reactor.
Not American, we stupidly custom-built every commercial power reactor. The French and Japanese have mass-produced nuclear reactors with standardized designs and good track records on safety.
The addendum to the headline is stupid. There should be no objection to India acquiring nuclear technology--we are providing it, too, and India is *very* much an ally against Islamic terrorism: they've been a target longer than we have, whether you take a short view or a long view.
Ever seen this?
Some think it's a hoax, but it's a young Ukranian woman who goes on motorbike tours of the Chernobyl ruins, which are safe enough for humans as long as you stay on pavement.

RUSSIAN NUCLEAR INTELLIGENCE? Not!
The Chernobyl disaster (Ukrainian: „X„€„‚„~„€„q„y„|„Ž„ƒ„Ž„{„p „{„p„„„p„ƒ„„„‚„€„†„p) was an accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant on April 26, 1986 at 01:23 a.m., consisting of an explosion at the plant and subsequent radioactive contamination of the surrounding geographic area. The power plant is located at 51‹23Œ23N, 30‹5Œ58E, near Pripyat, Ukraine, at the time part of the Soviet Union. It is regarded as the worst accident ever in the history of nuclear power. A plume of radioactive fallout drifted over parts of the western Soviet Union, Eastern and Western Europe, Scandinavia, the UK, Ireland and eastern North America. Large areas of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia were badly contaminated, resulting in the evacuation and resettlement of over 336,000 people. About 60% of the radioactive fallout landed in Belarus, according to official post-Soviet data.[1]
India and the Soviet Union had a 100-year friendship treaty.

When Alabama gets the bomb." -- Tom Lehrer.
After Chernobyl, the Indians will probably put them in Punjab, Nagaland, Assam, Bodoland, Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, etc., and let the radiation kill the minorities for them.
I am sure that his friend George can find it for you.
My alma mater. Thanks.
They've stopped stealing them?
We could use a few in California...
Especailly since they have done nothing in the War on Terror, and especially since they tried to organize a strategic alliance with Russia, China, Iraq, Libya, Cuba, and Yugoslavia "to stop the U.S."
And India has been seekign hegemony in the South Asian region virtually since independence.
What have they actually done to show htey're an ally?
While you are making stuff up, why don't you invent me a nice new Corvett?
Not making any of it up, as you know. It was reported in the Indian and the Indian-American press.
