  1. Biden will blow it up and claim Russia,Russia,Russia.

  2. Not mentioned in the report: The RISK associated with keeping the fuel in the reactor for longer than designed (6 years) is that the fuel cladding becomes BRITTLE; and eventually, highly radioactive fission products WILL be released, and WILL contaminate the entire plant.
    It is LITERALLY a TICKING, DIRTY TIME-BOMB every day they they continue to operate the plant.

  3. That’s why Ukraine has to be helped 😮

  4. 😂😂😂 America and their fake news

  5. Mrica still have to figure that ucraine is not in europe

  6. If sending money to Ukraine is a target of criticism, I think we can impose economic sanctions on Russia.I'm sure the American Republicans won't complain about this.

  7. You know it’s 2024 now right 😂.

  8. Guess Ukraine better beg for a peace agreement before they end up having an accident that would mean complete collapse

  9. The US needs to step in and stop this sensless war.
    They need to put their foot down, hard.

  10. War and nuclear facilities don’t mix. Period.
    That said, Russia needs to go home NOW.
    Remember the mess they made in Chernobyl!?
    They were looting things, terrorizing employees there, digging defensive trenches in the freaking Red Forest, and messing with things they had never business messing with!
    Most of the Russians never heard of Chernobyl before, and they ignored employees pleas to stop digging….until Russian soldiers started getting radiation sickness. Apparently when soldiers started getting sick, a Russian finally googled radiation symptoms and what Chernobyl was!
    They finally “retreated”…. But left a freaking mess AND abducted security staff!
    They left the regular employees there at least.
    🤦‍♀️ Even as an American I know better than to dig in or around Chernobyl. Heck, you’re not even supposed to scuff the ground with you feet in many places!

  11. It's only fair if Russia is warned about an eye for an eye attitude of the west. I think this Langley NASA landing on the moon made Putin's bluff to use nuclear weapons to disable satellites useless; and the power plant is the next warning we must call him on.

  12. Imagine a world when Russia joined the EU.. All this wars and nuclear dangers would not have materialized.. Why this did not happen requires some googling by people who are interested to know. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely..

  13. 👀💬AND RUSSIAN CONFIGED ITS A 🦠 GERM GOTDAMMIT!!!!

  14. All the Putin bots are out in force.

  15. to bad they wouldn't spend any money on defense of their country. got a printing press and such. Y we have one of the largest defense industrial complexes in the world to spend money at, it's a vital part of our GDP, but they expect us to spend our money.
    it's time to say no to Ukraine and Israel & let them pay for their own weapons, them countries got money to spend at general dynamics, lockheed martian , & northrop grumman

  16. Finally, the scientists that built those monstrosities have realized that the Nuclear Priesthood is diddling the Nuclear Altar Boys at Zaporizhzhia, threatening all of Europe with another cloud of radiation six times deadlier than Chernobyl.

  17. 3:40 ukraine and neighbouring countries. Almost all of this is russia and russian gains in ukraine.

  18. They seem to raise their concerns when ukraine needs money.

  19. Are meltdowns a last offensive tactic of aggression for defeated Russians? The radiation cloud of Chernobyl covered a large portion of the then Eastern Block that was on its way to being turned over by the failing Soviet state. Both scenarios leave Russian territory unaffected because of the prevailing winds.

  20. Wow recycling year and a half old stuff here. Put SOME work into propaganda!!! We've let the ruling class get sloppy.
