Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: ⚠️ russians admit incompetent staff to work at ZNPP The russian occupationists at the Zaporizhzhya NPP entrust the management of the largest nuclear facility in Europe to inexperienced specialists from the russian federation who do not have the necessary knowledge and skills at all. Qualified Ukrainian ZNPP personnel, who for years ensured the power plant operation, continue to be subjected to pressure, intimidation and blackmail by russian nuclear terrorists. Meanwhile, the traitors are appointing young russians to leadership operational positions, for which a corresponding license is required. Thus, an employee of the Balakovo NPP (russian federation), who has only seven (!!!) months of work experience, has been appointed shift supervisor of one of the power units whereas such a position requires much more experience given it involves operational management of the reactor. ‼️ Therefore, even by such actions, the occupationists once again expose the world to danger. Due to the incompetence and inexperience of brought russian personnel, the threat to the safe operation of Zaporizhzhya NPP is only growing. Therefore, it is necessary to return control over the power plant to its legal operator – Energoatom – as soon as possible! #ЗАЕС Contact us 🇺🇦 | FB | IG | YT | TW | IN | EA https://t.me/energoatom_ua/13853 But wait. The IAEA assured the world everything at ZNPP is normal and safe. Did the scared rabbit inspector somehow miss that the Russian overlords with guns are somehow ignorant of operating it?! Russian manager tells a Ukrainian engineer to do something dangerous. Something breaks, explodes or leaks. See! Ukraine sabotaged our wonder tech!! |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By borderpatrol: George Bush set his children up in China with an import/export company that China donated more than a million in seed money. Corruption is endemic in both parties in the USA. I am a lifelong Republican, being registered as such since 1979. The reason nobody gets prosecuted, is it would take down virtually most of the senior members of both parties, and they can't have that! I believe this 100%. But Clinton pushed the boundaries to the limit then Biden really crossed into the absurd realm. This is why I "love" Hunter, without his immense character flaws and seemingly intentionally self-destructive tendencies we wouldn't know about 10% (pun intended) of the nefarious shit. While other politicians have been "shop-lifting" Hunter shot the clerk (in the leg), stole the whole cash register, but left his wallet on the counter. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By FerrousDueler: What we should be thinking about is training a few pilots on the F-117 and transfer 2 airframes to Ukraine. They can take those and penetrate the shit out of Russian-cntrolled airspace, maybe taking out some very important targets. Don't know what their un-refueled range is, but one of the those bomber bases would seem like a great target. F-117s have an awful range; when taking off with almost any bomb load, they need(ed) to rendezvous with a tanker ASAP once at altitude if going any significant distance. I worked on F-117 munitions (AMMO) while at Holloman: they didn't need to take a tanker flying out there, ONLY because the bombing range was practically all around us. The F-117 is not a good option for Ukraine; if it had better endurance while carrying load, I'm still not sure it'd be a good idea. |

Exactly. Ukraine, Russia and China probably have much worse dirt on Hunter. What has leaked is just what we have from Hunters laptop. The other side of the corrupt deals and Ukraine in estimators likely have as you say videos of escapades and deals. You know his suites overseas would be bugged to the extreme. |

I will add another one... There is enough bad blood between Russia and Ukraine that they may actually consider using nukes on each other. I could see a tit for tat nuke drop between them.

Yeah we should totally cave because Russians are barbaric, violent, liars and unpredictable. We can’t control what Russia does except by force of arms. Russia will not stop at Ukraine. If the world burns down it will be because Russians are barbaric, violent, liars and unpredictable. Not because Ukraine fought back or “NATO escalated.” Russia escalates every single day. Letting fear immobilise you is a sure way to suffer far worse. |

Has it been stated what type of nukes they were expecting? traditional tube arty type? rocket arty type? air dropped? Possibly none at the current moment, but claimed to be tactical nuclear weapons, not strategic.
Currently, the Belarusian opposition has no confirmation of the transfer of Russian nuclear weapons to the territory of Belarus. However, it is possible that it can be delivered either by the end of 2023 or at the beginning of 2024. Franak Vyachorka, chief adviser to the leader of the opposition of Belarus Svitlana Tykhanouska, told about this in an interview. According to him, nuclear weapons are not bread or a freight car that can be brought. Traces of any such transportation would have been noticed by informants and associates. Therefore, it is quite likely that this has not happened yet. "But according to our information, the work on creating special storage facilities has begun. Lukashenko will not miss the opportunity to show off his nuclear missiles and show how cool, legitimate, important and scary he is," Vyachorka answered. According to him, the situation is deliberately heating up before the NATO summit in order to force Western countries to reduce their support for Ukraine. Like, such a narrative is broadcast through all Russian propaganda media in order to divide Western society and states. |

Well...I suspect that if given a choice, as much as they feel their cause is a just one, the world as a whole, would much rather see Ukraine cease to exist as a nation rather than end up in a "full nuke war" That is indeed the bitter truth But as I have been saying for quite some time, barring complete insanity on Russia's part that results in nuke use, or amazing luck on Ukraine's that results in complete restoration of lost territory, Ukraine will survie this, it'll just be a bit smaller in the end. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By juan223: Not subscribing to a groupthink circlejerk is hardly "trolling" Many here feel that western support for UKR is ramping up but I think it's winding down, the political clock on it surely is. I still predict that RUS ends up retaining pretty much most of the areas it wanted to originally hold and the can gets kicked down the road for future generations to deal with. UKR survives as a country, just a smaller one than before. A tale as old as time itself... There will be no "unconditional surrender" with regards to RUS, nor will all of UKR be absorbed by RUS as a result of the current conflict. Hate away, but that's my prediction that's free of the emotional attachements others seem to have with regards to this war. I'm no fan of an aggressive Russia but I AM a fan of logic. @juan223 No hate and thank for stating your opinion in a conducive manner. You may very well be correct, and time will tell. However, I disagree. When this broke out, there wasn’t a doubt in my mind UA would be crushed. Everyday since I lean on UA might pull off the greatest comeback in modern warfare. They have the support and the will, to win as of right now. Russia is lacking both. Crazier things have happened |

One of the priest saw them at the mosque in Budapest, the whole family did it as a scam. All of it a scam. All the new "converts" should be given a nice big meal of kolbas as part of the process...maybe some diszno porkolt... |

Russia has used cluster munitions on civilian cities, is now using mustard gas and has been sending "hypersonic" missiles into apartment buildings. Braking news bro. About fifty seconds in.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By juan223: In that case the domes of the Kremlin will be in sight of the Ukranian vanguard units any day now! Glory to Ukraine! Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By juan223: Originally Posted By Boedy: Fact that we are talking about a Ukrainian offensive while watching the Russians on their back foot scrambling to avoid a full on rout says the offensive has been going well for some time. In that case the domes of the Kremlin will be in sight of the Ukranian vanguard units any day now! Glory to Ukraine! The stupidity of this comment is highlighted by the recent aborted coup attempt whereby a rogue organization got within 100km of Moscow and *voluntarily* chose not to proceed further. It had the effect of pointing out how completely hollow the internal defenses are within Russia itself. So, if the Ukrainians chose to do so, they could break thru and make a thunder run to Moscow in the same fashion, particularly if they were masquerading as Russian units (which would be pretty easy since they speak Russian and are using Russian gear). |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By juan223: Well in that case Ukraine should start using gas as well I guess. And if Russia has been using cluster munitions on the regular then that most certainly answers my question. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By juan223: Originally Posted By ITCHY-FINGER: Wait.

Well in that case Ukraine should start using gas as well I guess. And if Russia has been using cluster munitions on the regular then that most certainly answers my question. Russia has been using the cluster munitions since the beginning, along with the Magnesium stuff.  Ukrainian official claims Russian army is using 'prohibited' munitions in Kharkiv  Russians rain deadly 'incendiary shelling' on Kyiv positions You'll see the attack at 40 seconds in, it killed civilians on the hiking trail near the top and right of the image.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 1Andy2: The USA, UK, and France are signatories to the Non-proliferation Treaty. According to that treaty, the only 5 nations on planet earth that are allowed to have nukes are USA, UK, France, Soviet Union, and China. I think every member of NATO aside from the USA, UK, and France is a signatory to the NPT as a non-nuclear weapon state, pledged to forever forswear the pursuit of nuclear weapons. Personally, I think its a stupid treaty that has only enabled authoritarian shitholes to bully their neighbors. But we're not going to reverse 50 years of "no one else is allowed to have nukes" policy for Ukraine just because Russia is asshole. Then you've got countries like Germany that were in the process of beating even their conventional swords into plowshares, a great many of whose citizens actively despise even nuclear power (to the point that they've almost completely abandoned it), and are palpably disgusted that Ukraine had the gall to not lose quickly so they could keep buying cheap Russian gas.

I suspect when all is said and done, NATO members along the border with Russia will end up having nuclear weapons staged there. Didn't Poland make that request already? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By juan223: Not subscribing to a groupthink circlejerk is hardly "trolling" Many here feel that western support for UKR is ramping up but I think it's winding down, the political clock on it surely is. I still predict that RUS ends up retaining pretty much most of the areas it wanted to originally hold and the can gets kicked down the road for future generations to deal with. UKR survives as a country, just a smaller one than before. A tale as old as time itself... There will be no "unconditional surrender" with regards to RUS, nor will all of UKR be absorbed by RUS as a result of the current conflict. Hate away, but that's my prediction that's free of the emotional attachements others seem to have with regards to this war. I'm no fan of an aggressive Russia but I AM a fan of logic.

Russia won't have to surrender, they'll implode and no longer be able to project force. It will be a miracle if they don't fracture into a bunch of independent republics just like their predecessor the *former* Soviet Union. |
