This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Consider that Japan did have a nuclear meltdown and it is essentially a US territory. Chernobyl isn't in Russia, it's in Ukraine.
Why doesn't Japan have it's own foreign policy? It's foreign policy is dictated by the US. Why doesn't Japan have an active military, only a self defense force? US won't let them. Why are there dozens of US bases in Japan? Because they are conquered and occupied by the United States. They may not have the title of US territory but that is their status.
Chernobyl was in Ukraine not Russia. What's your point?
Be nice.
Fair enough.
The USA is an empire Japan is one of many countries it rules over.
Yes yes USA bad I agree now go slink off to lemmygrad where you belong. Bye
Which were individual states in the USSR, not completely different countries like Japan and the US
Are you actually a fucking idiot?
Be nice.
Japan is abut as independent of the USA as any of those countries in the USSR were from Russian rule. The USA is an empire and Japan is one of many vassal states.
You clearly either don't know how the USSR worked, or how Japan works now
Having been there myself: you're so far off it's not even funny, it's just really sad
