The Hidden Environmental Costs Of The Impending Ukraine Conflict (Part 3)
, I went through the environmental costs that can occur with military conflicts. There are the obvious costs from warfare itself, but there are also hidden costs to things like recovery from war and cyberattacks. In this last part, I want to cover an environmental threat that’s somewhat unique to the Ukraine conflict that we must consider: nuclear proliferation.To really understand the risks here, we have to go back to 1991. Before that, Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union had problems, though. With a stagnating economy, a disastrous war in Afghanistan, and the Chernobyl disaster, Soviet leadership eventually became weak and lost public support. The shoot-down of a civilian airliner flying from Alaska to Korea also weakened them both at home and abroad.
