Russia vs. Ukraine Part 2

[actaeon277]

The new Russian General has been attacking Ukrainian power plants. I would think this would be one of the first things you would do before invasion. I'm surprised it's taken this long to start doing that.

You minimize damage when you think it's gonna be a cakewalk, and you then have to repair it.

50 more billion for Ukraine(115 billion in 2022 alone for those not keeping track).

"The new aid would likely be attached to an omnibus spending bill. An unnamed Republican senator told NBC that the legislation would make $12 billion of Ukraine aid that was included in a recent stopgap funding bill "look like pocket change."

Russia Discusses Ukraine in Calls with France, Turkey - The Moscow Times

Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu held phone calls Sunday with his French and Turkish counterparts, during which they discussed Ukraine, the Russian defence ministry said.

www.themoscowtimes.com

In both calls, Shoigu conveyed "concerns about possible provocations by Ukraine with the use of a 'dirty bomb'".

Looks like Russia setting up casus belli to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine.

If he was worried about dirty bombs, he'd be more careful with military operations near nuclear plants

It's to give him an excuse to use nukes.
I wouldn't put it past them to dirty bomb themselves and say it was Ukraine. Remember early in the war they were doing something secret at Chernobyl? Could have been getting the material for a dirty bomb.

I think they have better ways than that.
The amount of time and people required to do that...

They weren't doing anything secret.. the idiots decided to entrench in defense not being aware of whats under that dirt.

And.. more Russian junk just falling out of the sky, This time an SU-30 test far away from the war.

Why is Chernobyl so important to the Russians as they invade Ukraine?

Ukraine's government, anonymous Russian military sources and experts have all posited different explanations for why Russia captured the infamous Chernobyl nuclear power plant as part of Moscow's invasion of its neighbour.

www.abc.net.au

Found this article. It doesn't really make any sense as to why Putin went there.
So why go there in the first place?

Kyiv, U.S. and other allies reject Russian defense chief's claim of "dirty bomb" provocation from Ukraine

Russia's defense minister claimed in a series of calls with Western counterparts that Ukraine was preparing to detonate a "dirty bomb" in its own territory.

Doesn't matter if we believe Russia or not about the dirty bomb. They are setting up their excuse to use their nuclear weapons.

And this is how it ends for all of us. If Ukraine is winning why do we need to cross over.

It’s probably just posturing. 4700 light infantry wouldn’t make much of a difference in a mechanized conflict like Ukraine. It also would likely give the Russian troops more reason to fight. It would be a huge mistake to put US boots on the ground in that conflict IMO.
