Is this another fine mess Ukraine has gotten us in to?

[Daniela1982]

A Russian controlled nuclear power plant inside Ukraine has been attacked by drones, claim officials at the site.

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was taken by Vladimir Putin's forces early in the war and the area has seen heavy fighting since causing safety fears. In the latest incident Russian officials have said that the plant was attacked on Sunday by Ukrainian military drones, including a strike on the dome of the site's sixth power unit.

According to the plant authorities, there was no critical damage or casualties and radiation levels at the plant were normal after the strikes. While the head of the UN's atomic watchdog agency, Rafael Mariano Grossi, said that the drone attack "significantly increases" the risk of a major nuclear accident.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said that its experts had been informed of the drone strike and that "such detonation is consistent with IAEA observations". It reported one casualty and said: "Damage at unit 6 has not compromised nuclear safety, but this is a serious incident with potential to undermine the integrity of the reactor's containment system."

GUESS WHO IS GOING TO WIND UP PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS? WHEN THESE IDIOTS START DESTROYING THEIR OWN PROPERTY IT'S TIME FOR THE US TO GET OUT. WE CAN'T FIX THE WHOLD WORLD.

[Surely]

It is time for Ukraine’s neighbors to get involved and help stop Russia in its tracks! The US doesn’t need to be funding Ukraine’s leaders pension plans!
If the UN would be worthy. They would be negotiating the ceasefire instead of promoting the illegal invasion of the US.

[handsomelad70]

"Ukraine's leaders' pension plans?" Is Zelenskyy even FIFTY?

[Surely]

@handsomelad70 Don’t remember where I heard that. But the officers in Ukraine’s military are supposed to be buying expensive island homes. Unfortunately, the US doesn’t require receipts for our hard earned money!

[Surely]

@daniela1982. Thank you for the MHO!

[handsomelad70]

Then Zelenskyy must court-martial these crooks, if it is happening.

[Surely]

@handsomelad70 Along with Joey’s son?

[handsomelad70]

Illegal invasion of the U. S. ? How? Why?

[Massageman]

Overall, we need to worry about our OWN country, our OWN borders, and our OWN safety. I'm not saying that the US doesn't have an interest in global welfare and safety: it does. But if we don't straighten out and fly right, we will no longer have a country left defend!

[handsomelad70]

The U. S. is collapsing so fast that you won't have a country by 2035.

[Siri137]

@handsomelad70 2028

[Daniela1982]

It seems to be headed that way.

[handsomelad70]

"SEEMS?""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

[Daniela1982]

@handsomelad70 Well it isn't that way yet, so there is just fading hope. 😬

[DextroShade]

Yes, that's why I can't support any candidate who isn't America first, but the current administration puts Ukraine and illegals ahead of America.

[handsomelad70]

@Siri137 Maybe 2026 if Trump wins and has his way.

[DryGermanGuy]

The Russians are using the ZNPP as a Damocles sword for the whole region since they first occupied it. They have been playing with their dirty bomb hoaxes and sabotaging the operational safety of the plant several times. Now these new lies. The Ukrainian military is not attacking a nuclear power plant, they are not stupid!

"WE CAN'T FIX THE WHOLD WORLD."
Yet you seem just fine destabilising the whole world for the sake of cheap commodities like oil and bananas. Maybe quit whining and fix the issues you created yourself through decades of funding insurgency groups and deposing democratically elected leaders.

[Daniela1982]

Hey, don't lay that on me. I can't even have a say as to where or what my tax money is spent on. Our Government - For The People! BULLSHIT! 😫🥱😴

[handsomelad70]

RIGHT ON, D4nielv!!!

[handsomelad70]

Your "government" serves the rich, not Joe and Jane Average, Daniela1982.(Perhaps I should have called myself "Brady1953.) .

[Daniela1982]

@handsomelad70 The rich are not our people. They are foreigners who own a lot of out land, like China. Chinese own half of the shopping centers, apartment buildings, and businesses around here.

LYRICS: Well, your mama and your pappa sent you to the finest school
Never let it be said that their little darlin was a fool.
So with a credit card and your good name
You were drawn like a moth to a flame
To the people of the night where you more or less lost your cool
You had 20/20 vision and still you were walking 'round blind
Yes and whether right or wrong I'd still tag along behind
But you're flying too high for me
And if this is how it's got to be
Then it's time to say you go your way and I'll go mine
It's been a gas but I'm gonna have to pass
[Chorus]
These are not my people no
These are not my people
And it looks like the end my friend
Gotta' get in the wind my friend

You find your self naked in the world and no place to hide
Then you felt for the pulse of your God and he had died
Then your rebels that have got no cause
And your tigers that have got no claws
They promised you the world on a string but you know they lied
Oh, you know you said you'd be back in a black cadillac limousine
But you know I'm inclined to think it's not the kind you mean
'cause when you fall down from off your cloud
And you're just another face in the crowd
They're gonna throw you away like last week's magazine
Its been a gas but I'm gonna have to pass
These are not my people no
These are not my people
And it looks like the end my friend
I gotta' get in the wind my friend
It looks like the end my friend
I gotta' get in the wind my friend
It looks like the end my friend
I gotta' get in the wind my friend...

[genericname85]

what do you mean a "mess ukraine has gotten us into"? we got ourselfes into that mess. if we didn't decide to mess with russia by pumping tax payer money into our military industrial complex so they can send more weapons to ukraine to prolong this war, all "our" problems would long be gone.

if we didn't even start to get involved, we wouldn't have a problem to begin with.

[genericname85]

it is us who made this our problem. we're the dumb ones here.

[handsomelad70]

America is dumb about MOST things, including geo-political situations.

[genericname85]

@handsomelad70 i mean they profit. they just act as if they're helping ucraine when in reality they are artificially prolonging the war to make money with their rental weapon industry and at the same time giving russia harder time expanding.

[DextroShade]

I'm guessing that parasite Zelensky is going to ask for another hundred billion American taxpayer dollars to fix it.

[handsomelad70]

"Parasite Zelenskyy?" He's saving the world from a rapacious beast, boyo !!!

[DextroShade]

@handsomelad70 no, he's prolonging a war he cannot win so he can keep grifting more money from the US taxpayers.

[handsomelad70]

He's fighting to keep a thuggish strongman from overrunning not just Ukraine, but the rest of Eastern Europe as Vlad the Lad attempts to re-create Greater Russia. (By that logic, we blacks were thugs and criminals for marching and picketing for our rights as Americans three generations back.) Guess you're a proponent of the late, unlamented centenarian war criminal Henry Kissinger's "Realpolitik" doctrine of "Might makes right." Zelenskyy's Jewish, too. I KNOW that can't play a role in your description of him.

[DextroShade]

@handsomelad70 this comment is a great example of how leftists always bring race into things when they don't have a good argument

[handsomelad70]

I remember the sixties as a 70-year-old black man, including "Bloody Sunday," Mar.7,1965 at Selma's Edmund Pettus Bridge, where peaceful Civil Rights activists were assaulted with water cannon, police dogs and clubs from redneck crackkker Dallas County, Ala., Sheriff Fat Jim Clark and his equally inbred "deputies." (This televised outrage spurred Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson's signing the Voting Rights Act July 2,1965;he'd signed the Civil Rights Act almost exactly a year prior in response to the June 21,1964 Philadelphia, Miss. lynchings of Civil Rights activists James Chaney, a local African American, and Jewish New Yorkers Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner.)
I'm getting from you and your ilk the feeling that, just as we black folk should have eternally acquiesced to white supremacy and oppression rather than demanding our rights as U. S. citizens, Zelenskyy and Ukraine should simply roll over and let power-mad egomaniac war criminal Vladimir Putin continue his campaign to turn the former Soviet client states into Putin's personal playpen. In other words, pardner, you believe "Might makes right," and screw its oppression's victims. Lovely credo, pal.

[DextroShade]

@handsomelad70 bro you are really reaching here: the American black civil rights movement of the 1960's has absolutely nothing to do with a war fought 60 years later between two white countries in Eastern Europe.

[Inbox]

@DextroShade He’s just a water boy for the far Leftist moronic thinking. He sees enemies everywhere and jumps to wild assumptions - he probably thinks recessions are racist as well 😂😂😂😂

[exitseven]

Biden won't be happy until he bumbles us into a war with Russia.

[handsomelad70]

Trump will resume being Putin's b***h as he was during his (hopefully only) term.

[Cheapskate]

This is such a twisted take. Russia invaded. Damn you for blaming it on the victim.

[handsomelad70]

Righties ALWAYS blame oppression's victims, especially if they don't look like them.

[Jessica405]

I will pass judgment when we see absolute proof of WHO those drones were launched by.

[handsomelad70]

How did Ukraine get the U. S. into a mess? By refusing to surrender to Vlad the Lad and his Greater Russia delusions? Guess I know for whom you'll be voting Nov.5 !!!

[888theGreat]

US will pay to rebuild Ukraine on everything.

[ApplePie409]

I agree. We need to get out.

[D4nielv]

What do you mean? The US doesn't have any boots on the ground there.

[ApplePie409]

@D4nielv
I used the author's words.

[Daniela1982]

@D4nielv That the public knows of. Remember we only had "advisors" in Vietnam at the start of that war.

[ApplePie409]

And our government has admitted to sending our troops over to teach Ukrainians how to use the equipment we gave them.

[normalice]

Sounds like Russian propaganda, tbh.

[OtterMan68]

Maybe Russia shouldn't have invaded Ukraine

[handsomelad70]

Ya think?/

[Jennz6]

WWIII

[handsomelad70]

By 2035, maybe sooner.
