Proving again that the present Russian government needs to be eradicated and refunded. There is unfortunately nothing else to do.
Kidnapping and forcing nuclear plant workers to work for you is a Really Bad Idea ⟨™⟩. >

Why? The plant is in someone else's country, not mine.

Russia evidently can't learn a lesson, no matter how devastating it was the first time around.
And this time there's no semi-competent leader to order what is necessary to keep it from becoming an international disaster. >

Putin's playing with nuclear fire. >

At some point he will make such a mistake that it will trigger a NATO intervention. He won't stop until it happens anyways. In a way that will be a way for him to not lose face. >

If NATO has to intervene because of a nuclear power plant meltdown then this won't be pretty for anyone involved. Last time we had seen that it nearly brought down USSR to bankruptcy on top of emitting enough radiation that decades later still affect farms all the way in UK. 
We weren't far from this incident growing to a scale when not 50000 people were evacuated but millions would be at risk of having to relocate (Chernobyl was worst case scenario for the reactor but the way it was handled was surprisingly competent for Russians, they accidentally sent one man who could actually see through bullshit and cared, I doubt they have many like that left by now).  
So let's hope it doesn't come to that. >

Worth noting that all RBMK reactors have been retrofitted to not have the same problems Chernobyl did, and in spite of how widespread and strong Chernobyl's radiation was, under 4000 people died. There's no reason to believe any meltdown would be anywhere near as bad as Chernobyl, even if it were strong enough to trigger a NATO country invoking Article 5. >

They also learned why the containment building is, like, really freaking important and not an optional thing you can leave off the design. All newer plants have containment buildings and the old RBMKs have been at least partially retrofitted to contain a disaster like Chernobyl.
On the other hand, Fukushima was a modern Western plant and look how bad that was. Nuclear technology is one of those things that really must not go wrong because an ounce of prevention is worth ten tons of cure. Forcing unfriendly nuclear engineers to work for you sounds like a recipe for disaster. >

Didnt it get hit by a tsunami though? >

What a short sighted and incredibly stupid risky thing to do, like invading in the first place. >

A year later and those Ukrainian engineers are still not cooperating with the Russians. It's a testament of the limits of the nuclear engineer labour market that they are still alive. All they have been doing is kidnapping and threatening them. >

Even a stupid bandit knows not to kill the last doctor in the area. >

stop insulting bandits, they are smarter than your average russian army. >

"We have captured Chernobyl!  Time to dig some defensive trenches in that shockingly desolate field over there!" >

These barrels are warm, let's use them to stay warm at night! >

Pretty sure kidnapping is a war crime, but does anyone still think Russia cares about it at this point? >

Nah. They are just "deporting" them into a new country. >

Which is specifically also a war crime. >

War crimes really don't matter to Russia, Belarus, China, Iran, Turkey, or India apparently. >

…or the US? >

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 54%. (I'm a bot)


The National Resistance Center reports new cases of kidnappings among the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant workers who do not agree to sign contracts with a fake company from Rosatom, Russia's state nuclear regulator.
Quote: "Many workers refused to work at the station after the occupation, and currently there is a shortage of workers at the station because there are not so many nuclear workers on the labour market. Therefore, the enemy wants to"convince" Ukrainian power engineers to work for the Russians.
The Center reiterated that the occupiers had previously blocked access to the station for nearly 1,500 Ukrainian workers of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

i know, i know, we shouldn't joke. let's just hope they don't fuck up....

Interesting. I don’t remember seeing such posts when Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, etc. we’re being “liberated”.
Weird, huh? >
