When Tschernobyl melt down, most of the reactive cloud went to the west. So I would not assume that.

Is there any chance the Russian drone targeting decisions of this significance are made without consulting Putin ?… certainly not.

Is there any chance Hungary and Slovakia can feel that their safety is not threatened by this violation of the Chernobyl enclosure ?… not possible.

And yet, Orban and Fico continue to carry the banner of Putin support - full speed ahead as Russian puppet governments.

Don’t expect any condemnation from the trump regime, either… he would say something brilliant like “Putin is just doing what anyone else would do.”

Has anyone heard what Orban's excuse was for skipping the party?

This incident makes clear the difference between a war crime and a crime against humanity. You've pointed out that radioactivity doesn't recognize political borders, and then said, “For Ukrainians, this is personal.” No; it should be personal for every living person, no matter how far from any nuclear power plant. There is no ‘safe’ level of radioactivity; every alpha particle is damaging. You've mentioned a “risk of further contamination” but this breach creates a CERTAINTY of further contamination. This is a crime against humanity because no one is immune or safe. This should be the legal lever that releases money seized from Russian bank accounts, and should be used to defeat Russia, which will protect Ukraine, Europe, and the rest of the world.

TBF, alpha particles aren’t the dangerous ones. They basically are stopped by fabric. Beta particles and gamma rays are more dangerous.

What proof is there that Russia was behind the dome attack?

Elsewhere in your article you claim that Russia shelled the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant - a very dubious claim considering it was occupied this whole time by Russia.

The Chernobyl strike was intentional. But Ukraine has more to gain by getting the world panicked about nuclear release than does Russia.

Russia's incentive is to keep the noise out of Ukraine manageable to the worlds attention is elsewhere. Ukraine's incentive is to make Ukraine the only thing on the news in the US and Europe.

Surely there was drone debris. Where is it?

How do we know that it was a Russian drone and not a Ukrainian drone? I am not a fan of Russia but how do we know?

You''re Russia curious at a minimum (like bi curious) because you're maga-plus.

IAEA inspectors and experts stated that the observed remains were consistent with a Shahed-type drone (27 Feb). We surmise based on the flight path observed by eyewitnesses, and on video.

Ukraine wouldn't purposely be launching drones nearly 300 kms. from the Russian border (~250 from Russian troop concentrations). And we don't buy Russian "false-flag" lies.

Intelligence agencies might have undisclosed information as well.

"Maga-plus". Instant red flag in regards to your objectivity in this. That indicates to me that 1: your response is meaningless, and 2: unwarranted. He's right. It's entirely possible this is disinformation. Keep the ad hominem bullshit to your Bluesky feed and let the adults talk. Oh, and stupid name too. A coprophile is someone who gets off on eating shit.

Name your favorite bootlicking Cabinet villian.

Bobby the adulation seeking, brain damaged grifting predator? Petie, the preening, philandering Christian nationalist frat-bro fuckup? Pam, the wicked sledgehammer of fascism? Kristi, the frozen-faced gulag dominatrix? Little Dickless Hypocrite Marco Sold-His-Soul. Dumb-Dumb Schmuck Lutnick?

Is JD, the greasy, smarmy, pretty-eyed sinner more to your liking? Or another player? Maybe Bessent. He's gay, so you have a chance.

Aussie cultist? Absolutely hilarious. What kind of lunatic Aussie worships Orangefuhrer and still posts 'Hillary Clinton as demon' memes?

Nope. Er...not really. I don't. People who laugh at things that they find humorous.
