Russia has warned the UN for almost a year that Ukraine have plans to use the Zaporizhzhia NPP as a "dirt nuclear bomb", in order to blame it on Russia and justify NATO military intervention.
How do you think Ukraine are going make NATO believe that russia blew the plant?
It's currently occupied by russia, it's in annexed territory, they can't just walk in plant a few explosives. I expect folk would notice if Ukraine threw some missiles at it.
So how?
Also consider that when Russia took control of the plant they did so by bombing the fuck out of it. I remember watching the livestream as explosions rocked the plant.
It is not for the west to believe, it is for their home audience. If a dirty bomb made out of zaporizia goes off nato countries will get involved to help.clean up and control the plant and assist humanitarian efforts. Russia gov then still gets to play victim to its domestic audience blaming it all on other side. And some may be patriotic and want to believe and others will have to engage in doublethink and 'have' to believe it or be re-educated.
This, it's mainly for Ruzz home audience and other allies.
Russia has lost all its credibility and what they say means nothing because they’re lying. So, fuck this statement and fuck Russia.
dumb cunt
Fucking ledge response.
Few people believe what Russia says anymore. They have been caught lying too many times, starting with the lie that their troops were just doing military training exercises close to the border and had no plans to invade Ukraine. In fact I remember them accusing the west of "acting like a bunch of hysterical women" over their claims Russia would invade. Then the next day, guess what? They invaded.
Oh, my first Lemmy user ban. Nice.
Get the fuck out of here with that idiocy
They were right about the dam. They'd been warning about that one for a while too.
What did you get banned for?
