What a waste of time. The coup was a lie

Not so much a lie, but  Progozhin underestimating the Russian Defense Forces or overestimating his position. I wouldn't be surprised the Russian knew about it but weren't sure of the timing. Once it launched, the Russians seemed to cap it off fairly quickly.

Russia plan to blow up Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant has been “drafted and approved”

Kyrylo Budanov, chief of Ukraine’s military intelligence, warns of a dangerous escalation.

What consequences could the potential sabotage of the Zaporizhzhia plant carry? Chernobyl-esque?

Thank you for tracking this. I was wondering when we were going to revisit it. Sigh. Let me do some more digging.

The exclusion zone would be roughly 30 thousand km2, and the polluted zone will be up to 2 million km2, including the territories of Moldova, Turkey, and Belarus. Exclusion is light orange, polluted, dark orange.

Russia are literally scumbags.

@nasa If he follows through with this, it may be considered an attack on NATO. 

 

Even if he doesn't, the reactors aren't being cooled as they hold control over the plant, so even if it's not a direct hit, he'll try to dodge when there's an inevitable meltdown soon, then the mines will do his work for him. 

 

But the fallout will reach deep inside his country, so I'm wondering what the motivation is here besides sheer nihilism.

It will likely be worse than Chornobyl. Just a reminder, a whole USSR was trying to fight the consequences of the explosion. Now, few to none will be there to deal with it. Impacted countries will depend on where the wind blows I guess

 

I read a good article on this, will share some info tomorrow. What I wrote prior is just from memory

I’m just wondering if there will be any reaction (read: actions) other than deep concern. Black Sea will be polluted either way, and if the wind blows south, Turkey will definitely be polluted, too. Another NATO option is Poland I guess, if the wind goes that direction

 

Another thing to remember is that Black Sea is also connected to the Mediterranean Sea, so it may affect some other countries if the radiation/pollution/whatever is strong enough

 

I’m no expert at geography and radiation tho don’t come @ me anyone

Way too much to process. I can't do it now.

No, not Chernobyl 2.0. More like Fukushima. Afair the most important difference is that there's no graphite in this type of reactor (like in Chernobyl).

Apparently the approximately 11 people that died were collateral, then, Yevgeny?  

 

This goes in the same category for me as the nonchalant reaction there to the preferred method of assassination now by balcony overthrowing

Prigozhin should have taken over Moscow. He’s dead meat as soon as possible

Seeing as the Wagner group are some of Russias only properly trained troops - how the **** will they continue war with Ukraine? 
 

Seems the Nuclear power plant meltdown will be Putins excuse to pull back and finish the war. He’s actually going to cause a nuclear meltdown in Mainland Europe. What a sick ******* bastard.
