Ok, so let’s say both sides think it’s their territory, so neither will want to cause a nuclear disaster there. That seems like a good balance for everyone else on this planet, for the time being.

The difference is that Ukraine is now entirely reliant on the west to continue fighting. This creates incentives for Ukraine to continuously seek escalation that could potentially get NATO directly involved in the conflict. Incidentally, US senators already introduced a resolution calling for NATO involvement in case of such an incident

…senate.gov/…/graham-blumenthal-introduce-resolut…

Why is that?

Because that’s obvious to anybody who’s been paying any attention to what’s been going on for the past two years. This ultimately comes down to manpower and logistics. Ukraine has far less people than Russia, and the west lacks the industrial base to continue supplying Ukraine at the current levels. This is well documented in western media by the way.

This was also understood long before the war started. Here’s what Obama had to say back in 2016:

Obama declares Ukraine to be not a core American interest and that he is reluctant to intervene in the country, because Russia will always be able to maintain escalatory dominance there. “The fact is that Ukraine, which is a non-NATO country, is going to be vulnerable to military domination by Russia no matter what we do.”

The reality of the situation is that the west gave Ukraine everything they could for this offensive, and it will not be possible to replace that in the near future. The offensive was supposed to make a decisive breakthrough in the first 24 hours. In fact, this was critical for any sort of success foreignpolicy.com/…/ukraine-russia-war-counteroff…

It’s now been a month, and Ukraine has failed to reach even the first line of Russia defences while suffering horrific losses.

The offensive is going so poorly that even CNN calls it disappointing

The most likely outcome here is that Ukraine will burn through their men and equipment, and once the offensive fizzles it’s likely that Russia will go on the offensive of their own against a demoralized and depleted Ukrainian army.

John Mearsheimer has a pretty sober analysis of what can be expected to happen realistically that I highly encourage you to read

Literally the whole argument you’ve been making in this thread is that if there was an incident at the ZNPP then it would be the fault of Russia because you find it inconceivable that Ukraine would do such a thing. So, yes, your thesis has very obviously been that. I guess you’ve finally read your comments sober and trying to backtrack on that now. 😂

You mean the actual borders as recognized by the UN and vast majority of countries in the world including the US?

The United States approach to Taiwan has remained consistent across decades and administrations.

Your thesis is that Russia is going to blow up a nuclear power plant on their own territory. Meanwhile, if you think Ukrainian regime cares about people of Ukraine then you really haven’t been paying attention. My favorite part is that you just keep doubling down on this by claiming that it would be silly for Ukraine to do this, but evidently don’t have the cognitive capacity to understand that it would be even more silly for Russia.

We can certainly agree that your troll tactics are indeed laughably amateurish. You really don’t know when to stop.

Yeah, I guess they’ll just have to live without making winnie the pooh jokes and talking about how evil see see pee is somehow.

The RT link doesn’t support your thesis, and you know perfectly well that I was referring to this propaganda site you referenced. You Sir are an absolute master, and a madlad. Well Done!

The only one who is as dumb as a bag of rocks here is the one who can’t even keep track of all the bullshit he’s spewing. 🤡

While you provide a fascinating arm chair analysis of the situation, why don’t we just look at what people who actually have a clue on the subject say

So what you’re saying is that when you use a platform from a country then you have to abide by the laws of that country? Thank you for this incredible insight!

Oh you mean the territory Russia didn’t actually contest because they haven’t mobilized yet. Amazing counterpoint you’ve got there. 🤡

yogthos , 1 year ago to worldnews in Russia has planted suspected explosives on Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant roofs, says Zelenskiy (cross post)

Sure more than Ukraine who’ve been throwing theirs into minefields. If they didn’t value their soldiers they’d be doing what Ukraine is currently doing. Instead, they spent the time building defences and training their troops.

It’s literally territory they’ve annexed from Ukraine. And anybody who actually paid attention for the past month can see that Ukraine is in no position to take any territory back based on how their offensive is going.

You’re not my comrade.

yogthos , 1 year ago to worldnews in Russia has planted suspected explosives on Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant roofs, says Zelenskiy (cross post)

You haven’t been factual. You’ve been linking to Ukrainian propaganda sites claiming that Russia is going to blow up a nuclear power plant that they controlled. Apparently, you’re unable to see how absurd that is, and the fact hat IAEA says there’s no actual evidence to substantiate these claims doesn’t give you a pause either. Here you are claiming that it’s actually me that’s off track.

By all means, keep going with your crusade, but you are just talking to yourself at this point and demonstrating that you are giving very little consideration to other’s opinions and messages. Your time would be better employed doing something else is what I think.

Watching empire shills trying to interact with people outside corporate walled gardens is pretty hilarious.

I think you should take your own advice, also try working on your reading comprehension while you’re at it given that your link says Russia is worried that Ukraine would cause a provocation.

From a view point of a sane person who isn’t guzzling Ukrainian propaganda out of a firehouse, it’s pretty obvious that the Ukrainian offensive is a giant failure. Even western media now admits this. NATO summit is happening in a week, and Ukraine is desperate to get NATO involved directly in the conflict.

It’s also pretty clear that the puppet regime in Ukraine doesn’t care one bit about hurting their own country. If they did, they would’ve taken the peace agreement they were offered back in March.
