The Russians only took the one nuclear plant.

Ukraine had four operating nuclear power plants in 2012. The Russians took one of them, the Zaporozhiya plant, in 2022.

The other three are still running.

The Russians have attacked electric transmission/distribution equipment on the grounds of the other Ukrainian nuclear power plants during the cruise missile offensive of 2022-23.

Thank you. My map shows this close to Donetsk, maybe 3/5ths of the way to Kiev.

Do you know if all of the reactors are located along the Dnieper? Chernobyl and this one seem to be.

No, two are in western Ukraine, and another is northwest of Mykolaiev.

Zaporozhiya plant is on the south bank of the Dneiper. You should look at the geography there in relation to the Dneiper, as that is, under current circumstances, an insurmountable military obstacle.

Duck and Cover drills took a special urgency in my elementary school on a Marine Corps Air Station in the south east during the Cuban Missile Crisis...

The 3 or more heavy bomber are there to protect the 14 Russian military bases being set up along the Golan on the Syrian side. Putin want to become a major player in the region.

However, “US officials declined to say whether they also are sending long-range ATACMs munitions.”


Code for: yep they are included.

What Putin has made crystal clear is that WWIII be started if that is the only way to prevent Ukraine from becoming an armed NATO base. If the NATO forces are deployed to Ukraine and Russia can’t prevent it conventionally, he will resort to whatever means is necessary to stop it. We can dance around CIA assessments, theater nukes, all of that but it does not alter the fact that we will be plunged into WWIII if that is Russia’s only option to keep NATO out of Ukraine. He has unequivocally stated this a hundred times. He, unlike the idiots in the West, does not bluff. You are correct in saying he never contemplated actually using nukes up to this point because he was has yet to be in jeopardy of losing conventionally.

“Just lover you Putin admirers - Big fan!“

I don’t have my decoder ring with me. Can you translate what that is supposed to mean?

You Putin lovers are so cute, my heart weeps - so I always tune in to see what inane and cockamamie things you have to say. Also it is interesting to see how you people butcher English.

You globohomo neocon stooges spread your death, destruction and perversions all over the world. Your innate neocon warmongering makes it ever so easy for the globohomos to bend you over, and you just beg to get pumped one more time. I don’t support any of your globohomo misadventures. I’m MAGA, America first. I don’t support Putin, Netanyahu or your stiletto heeled pervert champion, Z. Bring our hundreds of billions back to America. If you want to continue your crusade, steal your wife’s underwear, buy a plane ticket and rifle and do it on your own dime.

The only thing I have found to love more than Tolstoy, Shakespeare, and J. S. Bach is the Bhagavad Gita.

I haven’t read the BG. I guess Oppenheimer read it in the original. That’s impressive.

If you're interested in The Bhagavad Gita, get the two volume publication The Bhagavad Gita, Royal Science of God-Realization with explanation by Paramahansa Yogananda, available at Amazon here:
https://www.amazon.com/God-Talks-Arjuna-Self-Realization-Fellowship/dp/0876120311/ref=sr_1_9?crid=10YKZ60G0SQTY&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Vp_haWZbgeg_pygKn68hkh8ArQ-zFtnRdJm8E7biaHLaWmtEDR9Z5EYP3mEhaYSnRY0JtThksYCDCRtdSRy_edS71GqEHrBMaWsd4BGpTpI_okkWsAbTcTVRxjBBPfscF6ySfC0wgnEypSj7XXWc9YVo32kmSBq50LmIHmuxLoryqYDrm4PExSl5cCI1DU0Hyw4ALgGGQDtHCypjD8BaQPw5uT0KXmYsXMQIUE_aJTzAwT__Y8N_ANP72B8_MB8OslKICZ6m0QarQE3XHy02xAnStpre_cfxWq1snd68Bn8.xvk6yxLRYVxthbSPaTeJXvm7gH9QovCOietNwev69ao&dib_tag=se&keywords=yogananda+paramahansa+books&qid=1710430331&sprefix=Yogananda%2Caps%2C100&sr=8-9
It contains the original Sanskrit text, English translation, and splendid explanations of the magnificent allegory.

I'm on my 5th trip through and still have to stop after every few sentences to think about it and let it all sink in and see how it applies to me.

I found it life changing.

I've also read it in three other translations and attempted it in Sanskrit, with very limited success.
