If the russians cause a nuclear incident by bombing a power plant, it should be viewed as exactly the same as using a nuclear weapon, and dealt with as such.

[McCRBen]

Preventing firefighters from putting out a fire at a nuclear power plant is insanity.

[madinkan]

And there are fools who support this maniac.

[Tadicuslegion]

I really hope and pray Putin's shelling of a Nuclear Power Plant causes some Russians in high position to really rethink their loyalties.

[Reno_Slim]

Russia talking to its therapist:
"Well, she had it coming. She was talking to those guys to the west and she knows I don't like those guys but she wouldn't listen so I had to make her listen because I make all her important decisions for her. Don't you understand. It's out of love."

[terryrollins]

So are we just going to stand back and let Russia cause a SECOND environmental catastrophe?

[TheSunflowerGalaxy]

This needs to be neutralized immediately, because the plant under attack is a GLOBAL risk now.

[IrishSetter]

"Genius has its limits, Stupidity does not." So difficult to accept it.

[politicallydisgruntled.]

Praying for Ukraine and Europe. Someone has to stop this madman from Russia.

[halibaitor]

Somehow I doubt that the "failsafe design" of this powerplant took into account the possibility of military attack by a madman.

[paulvr]

Why conduct military operations at such a site?
I thought Lavrov said, "We have no insane people here".
Clearly you DO Lapdog Lavrov!

[barbaracoleman]

So basically, " If I can't have you, no one can!" Yep. Putin's insane.

[p.e.m.-rbw_elijah]

🧐: If this doesn’t answer the question, that 'Putin' is insane;
Well I guess, it will never.

[mmj]

Russian foreign minister: We don't have insane people.

Rest of the world: You sure about that?

[supercala]

$20 says that the ones that were shelling the reactor site didn't even know it was there. I'm betting a lot of Russian troops don't even know just where they even are in Ukraine at a given moment unless someone else tells them.

[dansanger]

Prevailing winds at that latitude generally travel from west to east, which would carry nuclear fallout over Donbas and Russia. Definitely genius and savvy.

[Pilot_engineer_]

If World War III is fought with nuclear weapons, World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones (paraphrased) - A. Einstein.

[bwhite]

When USA says we have Ukraines back we basically mean we will cheer you on from Polands border.

[joshDammmit]

Easily in the top 3 DUMBEST things to do to a nuclear power plant.

[guybrushthreepwood]

I hope Russians are more afraid of nuclear winter than Putin and start joining those Russians already brave enough to protest
