13. Really. Enough is enough!

!!!

[AngryOldDem]

36. But...but...but.. we can't take on RUSSIA!

I’m fed up with that shit. We all knew this was coming.

This is what we get for waiting. If this plant blows, that is a nuclear attack, and should be answered accordingly. They may be firing “indiscriminately,” but their target is absolutely clear.

Stop. Putin. Now.

[PortTack]

3. What f..king idiot Putin is. He wants Ukraine, there's not going to be anything left!

[SheltieLover]

7. He wants Ukraine's neon

[AlexSFCA]

20. he wants to destroy Ukraine, he doesn't want or need it alive.

[Budi]

26. Yup. He doesn't want or need it alive.

[femmedem]

9. Ok, so bomb the hell out of those Russian troops. Putin is already nuking Ukraine.

Are we all just going to sit back allow Putin to use the nuke scare tactic when he's just about already used it? If he is targeting Ukraine nuke plants all bets should be off.

[Cha]

11. Shit is right.

[vlyons]

12. Putin wants to vaporize Ukrainians

If this isn't a war crime, I don't know what is.

[yowzayowzayowza]

14. This could sway the No-Fly-Zone calculus.

Certainly does for me.

16. ..As a result of continuous enemy shelling of buildings and units of the largest nuclear power plant

Mayor Dmytro Orlov had earlier reported fierce fighting between Ukrainians and Russian troops near the plant in southeastern Ukraine.

“As a result of continuous enemy shelling of buildings and units of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is on fire,” Orlov said on his Telegram channel, citing what he called a threat to world security. He did not give details.

Earlier, Ukrainian authorities reported Russian troops were stepping up efforts to seize the plant and had entered the town with tanks

17. Radioactive winds could decimate Europe.

There seems no way to stay safely out of this fight.

[Budi]

21. Siezing the Nuke Plant was his 1st & most urgent goal in entering Ukraine.

With that in his control, he owns it all. ALL.

[C_U_L8R]

29. He's a wannabe Bond villain who needs to meet a Bond villain demise.

[Budi]

30. There are a couple of those Bond Villain demises that he's deserve too.

[C_U_L8R]

34. Kananga/Mr. Big's compressed air swallowing trick will do nicely.

Putin go pop.

[Budi]

39. Perfect.

Ugh. This is so damned pointless. What's his endgame? He's mad. Insane.

[Budi]

18. Will be interesting to see the response. It threatens nations ...

Gdamn sonofabitch

[BlackSkimmer]

19. Yikes.

Funny, a friend of mine and I said today, that hey, being in our 60s we should just look at it that we got 50 years of grace.

We all thought we’d be vaporized before we were 12. Smh.

[smirkymonkey]

44. That's an optimistic way of looking at it.

But I kind of agree. We have been on the clock for a while and haven't realized how close we have come to nuclear annihilation.

The fact that we have had these means for so long and haven't used them yet is a bit of a miracle, given human nature being what it is.

[Scrivener7]

22. This seems designed to draw other nations into the fight.

I am finding it weird that his initial onslaught has been so screwed up.

Could this all be a feint? He's miring his tanks and screwing up, now he bombs a nuclear power plant forcing other nations into the fight, and then he unleashes the manpower and equipment he has been holding in reserve?

To what end, I couldn't tell you. But I so don't trust this guy.

[Budi]

23. Agree. He's been trying to draw the US & NATO in to have someone to blame.

The gaslighting shit Trump did for 4 years.
He started blaming everyone but himself ffrom day 1.

Stupid fk

[Budi]

24. Guess this is why he's sending the arrested protesters to the front lines

They'll be nuked. His conscripted army is simply fodder.
They have only one purpose as Putin sees it. To serve him

[Turbineguy]

25. Idiots.

The Russians seem to want to die too.

Zaporizhzhia website: https://www.npp.zp.ua/en

There's a bug on the right side that shows current power level and radiological situation.

Update at this time: radiation level 0.09 micro sieverts/hr, a slight drop from an hour ago.

28. Omg. They aren't going to stop. And no super power will go in to stop them.

No military force will dare fire near the Nuke Plant to stop them.

Putin sent his ppl there knowing they would die like kamakazis.

Wtf is plan B? Really?

[AngryOldDem]

31. Don't need to drop a bomb to use nukes.

EDIT: Had enough, folks?

[WarGamer]

32. I've been gone all day... away from news stories...

Are the reactors THEMSELVES on fire OR is it the support buildings?

Big difference.

The US has the ability to monitor radiation levels through spy satellites so I'm 100% confident Biden & Co are on top of this.

[AngryOldDem]

37. This is breaking news.

There is a fire at the plant, the fear is it could blow.

[WarGamer]

41. There's more to it than that.

What kind of reactors? Cooling method? Cooling still operational?

What's on fire? Support buildings? The buildings that house the reactors themselves??

Like I said... I trust that President Biden is on top of this 100% rfn.

[Budi]

43. Trust Biden, our Intel, our Global Allies. Here's a good Thread:

He's got a lot of detailed info in his twitter thread you may understand better than I.

45. great twitter thread, thanks!!

[Budi]

40. Sounds like support bldgs.

[LisaL]

33. This is nuts.

What if it blows?

[DFW]

35. If a nuclear plant that big blows in Europe

There won’t be a farm north of the Pyrenees whose food will be safe to eat for thirty years.
