A nuke going off in Ukraine is far more likely to bring in NATO than it is a help to Putin in any way.



Russia is claiming Ukraine has rigged a reactor with explosives for a false flag they can blame on Russia thereby pulling the west into the war because the stakes are too high with Russia's recklessness, etc.

This is like propaganda inception

what benefit is there to Russia to plant a nuclear false flag?

If it were to happen, I believe it would come in the form of something to do with the nuclear plant or maybe a type of disposal site. It would have to be at least semi-believable to even have a chance to be bought by the international community. It would probably be something that ends with the Russians "thwarting" whatever "attack" the Ukranians had planned.

As to what benefit the Russians would have, I suppose to paint the Ukranians in an even darker light than they have already. Maybe an effort to prop up Putins claims that the Ukraine military and its leaders are up to no good.

Rubio has been unglued this entire conflict.


It is all aboot the election. He is running for this November against a US Rep that is married to Orlando's mayor. TV Face time, and publicity is costly.

She franticly texts me all the time, begging for money. the last text said she needed the money by midnight.

This guy on twitter has some interesting threads, albeit inconclusive, trying to authenticate the video.

A month ago these votes would have been reversed.


I think the up/down vote totals on this and many other posts in this thread shows that many people still hold to the old adage that "politics stops at the water's edge" and most people can see the Russia is the clear aggressor here and it is basically a dictatorship attacking a democracy. When a few people keep popping up and trying to turn it back to domestic political antagonism they tend to get downvoted.

Might trigger a Russian civil war.

Or at least a coup. Wouldn’t be the first time in Russian history that an unpopular war unseated the tzar.

For example Romonov and the pogroms he inflicted on his own people.

The anti-defamation league considers it "blood libel" now, because Neo Nazis use it to blame the Soviet Union on Jews, but the Bolsheviks who killed the Romonov family were filled with Russian Jews who wanted revenge for all the murderous pogroms committed by people under the Tzar's orders.

This know-nothing know-it-all has nothing to offer if you're interested in facts. Just opinions presented as such.

They are Russian POWs, quit will the bullshite.

The False flag at some other reactor is interesting, I thought about that last night. The Russians have zero credibility rn, even the Chinese don’t believe them. It would be a smart move on behalf of Ukrainians.

I wonder how Tulsi will try to spin what is going to end up essentially being Syrian death squads indiscriminately murdering Ukrainian citizens?
