Russia has started a fire at Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant
- jmakov 2y agoLet the thing blow and we have WW3 in 3, 2, 1...
- mensetmanusman 2y agoPossible for this to activate a tactical nuke response on Ukraine.
- CamperBob2 2y agoWhat for?
- mensetmanusman 2y agoIntelligence agencies have warned Russia might be prepping for false flag excuses to use tactical nukes.

- pegasus 2y agoI doubt Russia is looking to turn more of its own territory into Chernobyl-like rewilding experiments.

- playingalong 2y agoPolitics, politics, politics. It doesn't pay off to stop Russia. Either from an individual perspective, your party faction, the whole party, or at international level. Everyone wants to be the good guy, but also succeed in some other goals too. Even assuming no malice.
- muscomposter 2y ago> At what point does the world say enough and deal with this threat to humanity immediately after ‘they’ stop Israel
- xenospn 2y agoYou’d be shocked at how much the world supports Israel outside of this HN and TikTok bubble. Russia has nowhere near the same level of support.
- muscomposter 2y agoYou’d be surprised how little not-the-USA supports them
- chairmansteve 2y agoYeah, I'm struggling to think of strongly pro Israel countries apart from the US. Maybe Germany? Any others?
- xenospn 2y agoI’m currently in Lithuania and there are zero Palestinian flags. Also, when I say I’m from Israel (when asked), everyone tells me how much they hate Hamas. I think they associate them with Russia, who they hate with a passion.

- xenospn 2y agoI won’t be. Because I’m not in the USA at the moment.
- jakeinspace 2y agoI doubt there’s more than 10 countries on earth with majorities supporting Israel in this conflict, and they’re all in Europe or North America.
- CamperBob2 2y agoAt what point does the world say enough and deal with this threat to humanity? My guess is, that's what the Russians actually want. It is Putin who looks at Kim with envy, not the other way around. He wants the world to prop up his failed-state regime, just like we all indulge North Korea. All we have to do is wait for things to get a bit worse in Russia, and the pitch will come: "Nice planet you have here. Would be a shame if our thousands of nukes fell into the wrong hands, and something happened to it. Honestly, I just don't know how much longer I can keep my country under control! So FY, PM."
- toomuchtodo 2y agoIs it time to put boots on the ground and disarm the nuclear capability by force? This seems like an eventually, just whether the world executes on this before or after Putin is no longer in power. To do otherwise is to be held hostage today by Putin, and tomorrow by whomever comes next.
- hollerith 2y agoWhat the hell?
- toomuchtodo 2y agoDeveloped world is going to allow Putin to hold the world hostage perpetually with nuclear weapons until he ages out? That’s a choice? Certainly not rhetorical, simply curious if there is a cohort that holds that position. What would be the “oh wow this is simply too much aggression [1]” point or if that doesn’t exist and a country with a nuclear capability will be permitted to do whatever they want without consequences. I think that is a worthy discussion to be had, what are the limits, or if any exist at all. To note, the US expended material effort to secure and prevent proliferation of nuclear material after the fall of the USSR [2]. This will be needed again after Putin’s rule ends.
