Theres no benefit to Putin's offensive in Ukraine in attacking the 4th reactor shelter.

It's an attempt to poison Europe with radiation.

It's a terrorist attack that's targeting NATO countries.

Boy am I tired of stupid.

I assume the Whitehouse response will be something about "good people on both sides."

Ok looks like they bravely stood back and said nothing about it at all.

Russia really wants some radiation sprinkled around.

it is really absurd; they're FAFO'ing even though the know where the prevailing winds will carry the radioactive fallout. I know putin doesn't give two fucks about the average russian but holy shit

Important to note that it appears that the drone struck the north side of the New Safe Confinement structure. Russian claims that this was a false flag attack can be safely ignored, but there was always the possibility that a Ukrainian drone went off course, or simply hit a tall structure on its flight path. That's not likely with a drone headed south only a few kilometers from the Belarusian border. Sure seems like a deliberate strike on the NSC by Russian forces, on that basis.
