#nuclear threat

[that-is-who-you-are]

Very informative thread about what will happen if the rushists follow through on their threats to blow up Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

Please read the original thread, it has so much more details and consequences.

A think it can be translated by Twitter? But I'll just translate a few points from there:

« 1.Forget about Chornobyl', there was one block. If the nuclear power plant, which the russians clearly mined very carefully, goes up in the air, the consequences will be many times worse. there was one reactor. There are 6 of them at the ZNPP.

2. Let's start with the fact that it will not be possible to immediately deal with the consequences. The nuclear power plant is occupied,russia will not allow us or the IAEA to go there, nor will it send its own to patch it up. that is, we will have a broken nuclear plant and no possibility to close it.

3. The staff won't help as they will most likely get blown up or be unable to repair anything due to radiation leaks. therefore, we proceed from the fact that we have a distributed nuclear power plant, from which there is a constant output of: 1) radioactive fuel. 2) radioactive isotopes. 3) graphite.

4. Pollution goes in two ways. the first - by air. it is the air that will carry the worst - isotopes and volatile substances. I think there is no need to explain that it is almost impossible to protect yourself from this. everything will depend on fate, since we do not know which way the wind is blowing.

5. The second and maybe the worst. water pollution radioactive fuel flows and underground water. and most likely in Dnipro. the design capacity of the Chornobyl' NPP is 6,000 MW, the same as that of the ZNPP. however, the Chornobyl' NPP was in operation for 15 years, and the ZNPP - 37. imagine how many times more nuclear fuel there is.

6. But that's not all) rivers flow not only into the seas. rivers, together with underground waters, moisten the lands of Ukraine. as a result, most of Ukraine's land will be polluted and unsuitable for production. any.

7. Most likely, all of Ukraine will be polluted in one way or another. yes, to varying degrees, but it will not escape our neighbors either. if the ENTIRE station actually takes off, then most likely the whole continent will be fucked.»

Not a day without nuclear threats: Russia again decided to remind that they only have nuclear weapons left of significance

"We don't care how many countries we destroy - 28 or 32," said the rashist propagandist.

👉🏻 Do you still remember their doomsday plane on May 9th? And, it was not there due to a malfunction …

O normalnosti nuklearnog uništenja

Iz djela Kontrakultura (1969) Theodorea Roszaka, drugog poglavlja u kojemu autor iznosi stav o pripadnicima kontrakulture (”mladim kentaurima”), svojim buntovnim suvremenicima koji se suprotstavljaju kulturi srednje struje (”Apoloni”).

“Ali da bi moje vlastito gledište od početka bilo jasno, moram kazati da vjerujem kako ti mladi kentauri i pored svojih ludosti zaslužuju pobjedu u sukobu s Apolonima, braniteljima našeg društva. Jer ortodoksna kultura s kojom se sukobljavaju je fatalno i zarazno bolesna. Prvi simptom te bolesti je sjena termonuklearnog uništenja pod kojom čučimo.

Kontrakultura se suprotstavlja pozadini tog apsolutnog zla koje ne definira sama činjenica što bomba postoji već totalni etos bombe u koju su s ingenioznom racionalnošću ugrađeni naša politika, javni moral, privredni život i intelektualna nastojanja. Mi smo civilizacija utonula u nepokolebljivu predanost genocidu, suludom kockanju s univerzalnim istrebljenjem vlastite vrste. I kako pokvareno silimo svoj osjećaj čovječnosti da se makar i za kratko pretvara kako se takav užas može prihvatiti kao nešto »normalno« ili »neophodno«! Kad god osjetimo potrebu da kvalificiramo, modificiramo ili uputimo protestima mladih opomene tipa »da ... ali«, prisjetimo se te činjenice kao odlučujućeg mjerila esencijalne kriminalnosti tehnokracije i do kog stupnja ona u ime progresa i razuma insistira na tome da nezamislivo postane zamislivo i da se podnosi ono što se ne može podnositi.”

Nuclear terrorism at work: the russian military have declared their readiness to blow up the mined Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

The russians make no secret of their plans and already openly blackmail the whole world, declaring the Zaporizhzhia NPP mine planting and their readiness to blow it up.

In his statement today, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological defense forces of the russian federation, major general valeriy vasyliev, who currently commands the garrison of the ZNPP, said «there will be either russian land or a scorched desert».

«As you know, we have planted mines in all the important facilities of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. And we do not hide this from the enemy. We warned them. The enemy knows that the plant will be either russian – or no one's. We are ready for the consequences of this step. And you, warriors – liberators should understand that there is no other option. And in case of receiving the most severe order, we must fulfill it with honor!»

Earlier, the representative of the press service of the Main Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Defense Andriy Yusov reported that the department has confirmed information about the mining of the ZNPP power units by russian troops.

"The use of nuclear weapons could save humanity from a global catastrophe". It is a title of an article in a scientific journal "Russia in global politics" written by Sergei Karaganov, doctor of historical sciences, professor, scientific director of the Department of World Economy and World Politics at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, honorary chairman of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy.

 "By breaking the West's will to aggression, we will not only save ourselves and finally free the world from the Western yoke that has lasted five centuries, but we will also save all of humanity. By pushing the West toward catharsis and the abandonment of its elites' hegemony, we will force it to retreat before world catastrophe strikes. Humanity will get a new chance to develop."

"Many times I have said and written that, if a strategy of intimidation and even use is properly constructed, the risk of a "retaliatory" nuclear or even any other strike on our territory can be minimized. Only if there is a madman in the White House, who also hates his own country, will America dare to strike in "defense" of the Europeans, bringing it upon itself to respond, sacrificing Boston for Poznan.""It is a morally frightening choice - we use God's weapons, condemning ourselves to severe spiritual loss. But if this is not done, not only Russia may perish, but most likely the whole of human civilization will end."

"Still, there is a great probability that it will be possible to win, to reason with the enemy without extreme measures, to make him retreat. And after a few years, to take a position behind China's back, as it is now behind ours, supporting it in the fight with the United States. Then this fight can be avoided without a major war. And we will win together for the benefit of everyone, including the people of Western countries.And then Russia and humanity will go through all the thorns and traumas to a future which I see as bright - multipolar, multicultural, with many colors, enabling countries and peoples to build their own and common destiny."

Vladimir Putin's nuclear threat 'real, not just…': Russian politician's warning

Russia-Ukraine War: Vladimir Putin has earlier claimed- several times- that Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons amid Ukraine invasion.

Vladimir Putin's nuclear threat is "real and not just words", a Russian opposition politician warned. Grigory Yavlinsky has been a longtime critic of the Russian president's regime.

He asserted that Russia could use it's nuclear capabilities against Ukraine if they were to try and recapture Crimea, saying as per Newsweek, "I think that [Putin's] nuclear threat is a real threat. That kind of weapon is such a serious thing...this is not [just] words, this is a real factor, which you have to take into consideration in the current situation. That's it."

Vladimir Putin has earlier claimed- several times- that Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons amid Ukraine invasion as Moscow had to "take into account" the weapons possessed by the United States along with its NATO allies.

“In today’s conditions, when all the leading NATO countries have declared their main goal to inflict a strategic defeat on us, to make our people suffer... how can we not take into account their nuclear capabilities? Moreover, they supply weapons to Ukraine worth tens of billions of dollars,” Vladimir Putin said.

The Russian president added that the West's "one goal" was to "disband the former Soviet Union" and its "fundamental part" of the Russian Federation.
