In order to give an adequate assessment of the eminent actions of military specialists, all military personnel, it is advisable to reason by analogy.
What is the significance of the Chernobyl disaster of 1986?
Someone will say that this is one of many examples of accidents at nuclear power plants.
Another person will see in this event (symbolic) the beginning of a chain of global catastrophic domestic (Russian) and foreign policy events.
Let's assume, owing to any actions this accident of 1986 managed to be prevented. How would such (hypothetical) actions be estimated?
Some would refer such (hypothetical) actions as the standard operations which are regularly carried out on nuclear power plants.
Others would call similar (hypothetical) actions prevention of global disaster.
My thought consists that a certain subjectivity in estimates of the successful TIMELY ACTIONS PREVENTING ACCIDENT is inevitable.
A diversity of estimates is inevitable.
Personally my assessment is in range between the concept "the potential global problem is successfully resolved" (that is more adequate) and the concept "subglobal disaster is successfully prevented" (more modest option).
Having stated some arguments about the logic of my reasoning, I will draw a conclusion.
SUBGLOBAL DISASTER IS EFFECTIVELY AND SUCCESSFULLY PREVENTED.
