Any intentional exposure of radioactive particles impacts the entire planet. This is not a local thing. If the ZNPP blows, we are all inhaling it's particles.

The world must react in this scenario. The world should not live under the constant threats of Russia.

Well if something bad happen, it will be the end for Russia, Stoltenberg said multiple times that ZNPP is off limit and both US congress and senate already voted preemptively for an article 5 trigger in case of a ZNPP blow- up. I know putler and vatnicks are stupid but they can't be THAT stupid by doing the only thing that would bring NATO armies on Ukrainian soil.

If I remember correctly, Stoltenberg said that NATO missiles already track down russian ships and it would take less than 30 minutes to wipe out the entire russian black sea fleet. So a really bad move to force NATO enter military in the conflict...

And there's plenty of NATO aircraft on the sky over Poland (& rest of the Europe) all the time. Should NATO declare that it's full scale war right now the Finnish fighters would be over Moscow faster than you can get a cup of coffee going. In reality that of course wouldn't make much sense, but in theory they could quite easily do just that.

I wonder what the hell is the logic behind causing a nuclear "accident" of any level at ZNPP. To drive home the point (again) that nuclear energy should be abolished so that Russia could peddle more fossil fuels for sale? And risks of escalation be damned?

Maybe it’s the same logic as the dam distraction, it makes it harder for Ukrainians to advance. Instead of Ukraine having to ford a river due to the dam destruction they will make Ukraine cross nuclear fallout to get them to leave. It feels like it’s just terrorism logic at this point where Moscow said they would set off a nuclear bomb if their demands aren’t met and Ukraine saying no to the demands…thus the terrorist just detonates the bomb as they run away.

Please, please, please whatever is out there, if you're looking out for us, please spare Ukraine from another nuclear disaster.

It will be reaaally hard for Russia to deny involvement if something happens there. If it does, I imagine Lavrov will have a brain aneurysm trying to explain it

Could have gone my whole life without thinking about this. I will stick my head in the sand now
