NFR Ukraine...Little Did I Know

[Wanative]

I just popped over to WFF to check out the posts on this same topic over there.

Holy Jeebus what a shit show. The insults, name calling and political D vs R, Biden Vs Trump, Trump+Putin bullshit started immediately.

Thanks for starting this site you dudes. If this thread proves anything, it's that we can talk about a very emotional topic without resorting to that childish crap. In fact, I may be the only person who had a post removed from this thread as a personal attack!

Lots of trolls.
One guy was listed as active member with 2 hundred+ posts. Out of curiosity I scanned his posts and found one thread about flyfishing he'd commented on out of 150. The rest was all spewing venom
about all kinds of shit.

Yup, saw that too

Just saw this:

U.S. offers temporary legal status to Ukrainians, citing Russian attack

Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, will allow eligible Ukrainians already living in the U.S. to apply for deportation protections and work permits.

And now it's nuclear. Russian troops are shelling the big nuclear plant it is on fire and radiations levels are climbing.

NATO needs to demand the Russian government hand over Putin and recall troops from Ukraine..

Yup, I've seen it also, pretty repulsive - congrats to all here who have contributed to this thread, providing information, some insightful commentary, and keeping it civil.

cheers

I too took a look at the wreckage. I found it somewhat curious that some of those now spewing the most illogical political bullshit there found their way over here but remain there to spout forth after assuming an alias. Brave souls they are.

Europe's Largest Nuclear Reactor is in Ukraine. It is now on fire and under constant attack by the Russians. If it were to melt down it would be 10 times larger than Chernobyl.

It seems that should be considered the use of a nuclear weapon, since they clearly knew what they were bombing. JFC....here we go.....

I think we should all realize the dangers of nuclear weapons, this horrible tragedy is not being stopped because of the fear of Russian nukes. NATO could stop Russia in hours but we are watching and issuing sanctions. The weapons we are giving are probably just prolonging the conflict.

If we don't stop Iran from getting nukes, 15 years from now we can watch the news and it will look like today just substitute Israel for Ukraine. Iran will attack Israel and we will watch it destroyed while we sanction.

Apparently it is of a different type than Cherbobyl, it's more along the lines of 3 Mile Island. Evidently this makes a difference, and although my knowledge of nuke plant design is zero, what I read was that difference is a good one in this case.
Obviously no fire at a nuke plant is good, and one on fire in a war zone is even worse.
There's a livestream of the area on the web for those interested in watching.

The news said there is 6 nuclear power plants in that complex, not good!

Except that Israel has its own nukes. Ukraine gave them up.

Heartbreaking letter from the Russian people

This is a very interesting take from the Russian people….

I guess mutual destruction is better than no conflict? Just stop Iran

BTW we promised protection of Ukraine if they gave up their nukes.

Actually, its 6 reactors in one power plant..
Just got done reading the NBC SNOOZE site and they hadn't updated to it being attacked and on fire. What they had was the Administrator begging the world to help keep it safe.

Seen a picture from a friend; Putin is bombing strategic military sites like athletic gyms. His friend in Ukraine also shared video of night bombing in his residential neighborhood.

The nation can finally voice a collective sigh of relief; Sean Penn safely exited Ukraine.

Just stop Iran

...

"US special envoy to Iran Rob Malley remains in Vienna, Austria, where Iran and the United States are engaged in a final round of indirect talks -- mediated by China, Russia and European parties to the agreement -- over a return to the 2015 deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that put verifiable limits on Iran's nuclear program designed to prevent the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon."

US getting closer to reviving Iran nuclear deal but officials warn efforts could still fail

The Biden administration is inching closer to an agreement to salvage the Iran nuclear deal but there are still a number of unresolved issues that could cause the efforts to fail, a senior administration official and State Department spokesperson told CNN.

Yeah they gave them up and were given security assurances in exchange..

He also is targeting schools and children's hospitals. Brave man, that Putin.

But he also did this in Syria. Used thermobaric weapons with wild abandon. The Syrian military had to stop broadcasting their relocating of their MASH units because he used those as bombing targets. Another Geneva convention violation.

The only rules Putin follows are his own.

Not prevent...delay...this is a ridiculous spin...even Obama admitted that JCPOA only delayed the inevitable.
