I don't know about that. Since it was unintentional (that is how they would read it), does this mean it was an attack? Or collateral damage that doesn't require a response.
That's a big maybe or assumption for me. 50/50 in my eyes of it sliding off or some type of involvement from NATO. Not necessarily troops or a no fly zone. But something,... who knows there are many things NATO could do short of pushing nuclear threshold.
That is basic research and tracking of pathogens.
I agree. But a nation that is barely 30 years in its freedom, like the former Ukraine SSR, surely had priorities for its nation other than biological labs (Level 2?), that has required WHO warning them over "high-threat pathogens." If I am reinventing my nation as different from the former Soviet state, I would have been more cautious. Not a "conspiracy theory" to point that out. Surely with DTRA and everyone else helping Ukraine, they could have been more circumspect on this and whatever was needed for health, was only needed in one central lab... not "labs."
That’s opinion And how do you know this.
This is actually what people on the ground were reporting on Fox News yesterday.I'm unsure how true this report is given that the Daily Mail is well known in the UK as prone to exaggeration but this still concerned me, so I thought I would share it with you
Daily Mail: Double danger at Chernobyl: Ukrainian hostage's daughter warns plant is held by Russians who have 'NO CLUE about nuclear security protocols' - as Kyiv intelligence claims Putin's forces will fake a terror attack at the site and try to blackmail the world.
Cherno held by Russians who have 'NO CLUE about nuclear security'
Natalia Ruemmele has warned that staffers who usually work 12 hour shifts have been maintaining the nuclear plant at gunpoint for more than two weeks since Russian forces seized control of the site.www.dailymail.co.uk
Every single source you listed there has a reputation for sensationalist clickbait headlines. I'm not saying you're wrong; I'm saying those sources do not really support your argument.
Most likely someone would at least activate Article 4 and we would go from there.
Unfortunately, the generators have already ran out of gas few days ago. Theres no reactor "GoInG tO bLoW uP" cause the only things they got cooling are the spent fuel rods. They have over 21,000 fuel rods (spent obviously) in the facility. once the water evaporates. There will be leaks imminent but not to cause a meltdown. Chernobyl's radiation censors have been offline for several days.
Have you seen anything new on this in the last day or two?
No information is coming out that can be validated as the Russians are in control of the facility. They will not be honest about any scenario so we can only hope they got it under control.
Fingers crossed Putin isn't lying. Like I said we will know for sure in a few days weather its true or not.
Well, couple hours before the generatprs turned off, there was a repair team asking russia if they could get the power back on but all the power is out in Chernobyl
Again I wouldn't believe anything until the clock runs out for those fuel pools in a matter of days. If nothing happens then Putin didn't royally fork up and will be nothing to worry about.
