Ukraine's resistance is severely hampered if you take out their electricity production, and taking over a site with 6 operating reactors is a pretty good way to accomplish that goal.


You can take out the interconnect to the plant if you want it offline. No reason to make electricity without connection to the grid.
Very true, but that also causes problems during your occupation/permanent rule over the country. That's a very costly and time consuming repair. Conversely you could take out the plant, mess up an office building, but keep all the necessary infrastructure intact so you don't have to do any major repairs to get the grid back up and running again.

That being said it all requires logical thought which no one is sure the Russians are capable of anymore.

This looks like he's trying to draw the West/NATO in. This just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Everything is crumbling around him and he needs something to unite his people and give his army something to fight for. He's desperately trying to stay in power. Having a fight with the enemy that he has brain washed his people to believe is the enemy, gives him more time and unite his nation because now, they're the victim.

Correct. First the Romanian jet and helicopter yesterday. Then the Estonian ship today. It very much seems like Putin is deliberately picking a fight.

I disagree. Putin is crossed over the hill.

His forces took a big punch but their weight is starting to win out.

He's seen everything the west is willing to throw at him. He probably planned for everything.

Every isolation measure the west takes only gives putin one less reason to stop. What's the incentive?

Putin is getting stronger because the west isn't willing to actually fight and is willing to sacrifice Ukraine. And he knows it. And the west knows it.

This sounds like something Putin would do to try to make the Germans rethink their recently announced delay in shutting down their nuke plants.

The Romanian jet and helicopter crashed in bad weather, absolutely no indication of any Russian activity anywhere near that site.

You could take it offline without too much long term damage. Maybe you have to take down a dozen transmission lines. Not very hard. Way less dangerous.

Maybe it is a total coincidence but seems like pretty weird timing to me.

The jet and helicopter was weather related, but I doubt they would have been up with Russia's actions.

Romanian plane and helicopter were weather related. Then commercial shipping is unclear, the Estonian ship cause was not clear and I'm aware of what Ukraine alleged happened.

I'll buy the helicopter was weather related, not so much the jet.

If we are going to respond the I hope we triple and quadruple check that the Russians are responsible for the NPP situation. I'm not going to go full conspiracy theorist but the Ukrainians are absolutely desperate for getting desperate for western intervention.

Russians firing on a nuclear power plant almost seems too stupid but then again it's the Russians.

Some pretty similar maps. Looks like those columns are going to be cut off like what the Finns did to the Russians.

Get in there, Tackleberry. Easy to say from the comfort of your own living room.

I want Putin eliminated as bad as anyone but we really need to think about HOW we do this.

actually by Zelensky stating this-

it is more likely that Europe will quickly sue for peace to stop the fighting.

Sue who? In what court?

I assume you mean recommend to Zelensky to sue for peace? This war is between Russia and Ukraine, not the rest of the world at the moment.

an obvious discussion point- if there WAS a slight leak of radiation...

would Putin pull back his troops?

or keep them all in position anyway not caring they may suffer radiation poisoning?
