So all you folks in Peoria, Montpelier, Cardiff. Ottawa, Santiago, Cairo, Rio de Janeiro and citizens of about another 180 countries around the world -- beware. Don't go anywhere near "a Russian-occupied nuclear plant in Ukraine."
Ass-ociated Press is here to help.
I imagine they don’t want anybody sneaking up on the place unannounced.
I agree with Russia, the BIDEN/ZELENSKY war/racketeering and corruption machine is not to be trusted.
I bet they have big, nasty GUNS too!
but it stupid as hell no matter who does it.
I guess Zelensky will have to stick with missiles or F16’s if he wishes to blow it up.
and The USA is known worldwide for an undisputable history of being a master and prolific practitioner of well crafted false flaggery both foreign and domestic
--- "the direct result of a stolen election (coup) in the USA"
THAT is the large frame around which all of this -- from the Covid "event" to the "debt" events to the inflation "events" and now the non-NATO Ukraine at war with non-NATO Russia, which is supposed to have something to do with NATO....
All as the lead up to and then"the direct result of a stolen election (coup) in the USA."
FWIW: Yesterday the Russians turned Reactor #4 from Cold to Hot.
Bingo.
Do you even know what that means?
Yes troll I do do you?
Patrick Lancaster went to the plant, interviewed the owner. There are no mines there.

that was 3 days when the UN was not saying if there were/were not...
The UN confirmed there are mines around the plant 11 or so hours ago.
Please explain
You first
There was also talk of mines on the roof too and there actually was not.
One of the things Princess Di failed at -— and the list is a lengthy one -— was ridding the world of land mines.
