Yeah, I read the Clandestine. The whole discussion re the power plant is quite mushy. If the Russians are “concerned” they should get the bleep away from it. The Ukes were operating it quite safely/successfully. Ivan has zero chance of controlling the plant and re-directing its output without first controlling the whole neighborhood. If they are serious about claiming eastern Uke for mother Russia they should focus on securing the area with minimal infrastructure destruction. At some point Pootin might realize he’s going to have to pay for all the damage he’s doing whether he “wins” or not.
I’m not at all convinced that it’s the Ukes who are taking pot shots at the power plant. Their move should be to cut Ivan’s supply lines to the neighborhood. If that power plant, the largest in Europe, goes down it’s going to be a nasty winter in Euroland.
One great example of how confused Pootin’s strategy is was the basic destruction of the huge steel plant at Mariapol. Of all the dumbass moves that plant was a huge source of steel for RUSSIA.

Oh, I get it. You think Russia isn’t doing a good job. I differ. The reason the steel plant was destroyed was because the Azov nazis were using it as a headquarters.
Your idea for the Russians to allow the nuke plant to get destroyed is ridiculous. It’s the large nuke plant in Europe and if it went south, the area of destruction would cover at least half of Europe. Nope. Russians want to prevent the disaster, while the Ukros and their UK and US and German backers obviously want it to happen (by their actions- more armaments and $ for Zelensky to burn and pilfer, and their silence about it) and blame on eeeevil Russia.
