I have noticed that the opinions on the Ukraine conflict are lacking….that is concerning for the US is pumping money and equipment into the country at break neck speed and no one cares enough to pay attention.
For instance recently Zelensky has made a bold statement…..
The “Z” Man played the nuke card knowing that the West is ate up with nuclear paranoia.
Volodymyr Zelensky wished the United States a happy Independence Day and offered thanks for supporting Ukraine in its defense against the Russian invasion. Later in the day, however, the Ukrainian president delivered a more ominous-sounding message, alleging that, per Ukrainian intelligence, Russian forces had positioned “objects resembling explosives” on the roofs of certain facilities at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, Europe’s largest nuclear facility, per the Hill. In his nightly address, Zelensky noted this was being done “perhaps to simulate an attack on the plant”—meaning, an attack meant to insinuate that Ukraine had gone after its own power plant, which has been under Russian control since the beginning of the war.
Indeed, the Institute for the Study of War, a US-based nonprofit think tank, tells Newsweek that Russia “is likely focused on accusing Ukraine of irresponsible actions around the [Zaporizhzhia plant], including setting conditions for a possible false flag attack.” Renat Karchaa, an adviser to the head of Rosenergoatom, which manages Russia’s nuclear power program, told Russian TV on Tuesday that Ukraine planned on attacking the Zaporizhzhia plant overnight on Wednesday, “with the use of high-precision long-range weapons,” including a “high-precision rocket with a warhead stuffed with radioactive waste,” per Tass.
In a Tuesday statement cited by the Guardian, Ukraine’s armed forces said that “operational data” relayed that the alleged explosive devices had been placed on top of the power plant’s third and fourth reactors, with an attack potentially coming “in the near future.” “If detonated, they would not damage the reactors but would create an image of shelling from the Ukrainian side,” the group’s statement noted. The Guardian notes that no evidence has been provided by Karchaa, Zelensky, or the Ukrainian military for their allegations.
A year ago this news would have sent the warmongers into a frenzy of diatribes and condemnations….today barely a wimpy.
Then a report from the IAEA does not confirm Zelensky’s attempt to generate more sympathy that equates into more money.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Wednesday that its inspectors have seen no sign of explosives at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in Ukraine despite claims from Kyiv that Russia had planted bombs.
According to an IAEA press release, Director-General Rafael Grossi said the agency’s experts “have in recent days and weeks inspected parts of the facility — including some sections of the perimeter of the large cooling pond — and have also conducted regular walk-downs across the site, so far without observing any visible indications of mines or explosives.”
The press release said Grossi has requested more access to the ZNPP, specifically the “rooftops of reactor units 3 and 4 is essential, as well as access to parts of the turbine halls and some parts of the cooling system at the plant.”
Grossi said with “military tension and activities increasing in the region where this major nuclear power plant is located, our experts must be able to verify the facts on the ground. Their independent and objective reporting would help clarify the current situation at the site, which is crucial at a time like this with unconfirmed allegations and counter allegations.”

Once again Zelensky proves what a bullshit artist he can be.
Americans have become bored with this conflict….they have moved on to other topics that they can piss and moan about and do nothing about but find fault with others writings.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
Messing around with the nuclear power station by either side is skating on thin ice. Not only would Ukraine and Russia suffer from the fallout if there is a disaster, most of Europe would be affected by the radiation. They should get on with something else to do with that war and stop trying to alarm the world by accusing each other of wanting to cause a catastrophe.
Best wishes, Pete.
Zelensky is grasping at straws to keep up the massive support….so lying is a perfect tool chuq
I am one of the bored ones.
US wasting billions and some are bored? Would not be that way if homeless people were getting the cash. chuq
I was homeless once and I never got anything but a break came along and now I have everything.
Good for you John but what does that have to do with wasting money on Ukraine. chuq
You said, “Good for you John but what does that have to do with wasting money on Ukraine. chuq
And I ask you, “What does any of this have to do with homeless people getting the cash?”
It means everything….more cash to mud holes means less cash to be used to help struggling Americans which few seem to give a shit about these days. chuq
Those mud holes are full of dead people who did not deserve to die and most “Struggling” Americans can get by a lot better than many of those poor souls in Ukraine …so America, The Great Christian Nation…ha ha ha ha.. will at least do what she can to help where help is needed and because of that… and a lot of other things, I am proud to be an American.
John what has Ukraine got to do with pride in America…..there are people dying all over but we chose to massively support the blondes….go figure. chuq
Being unique individuals I doubt that either you or I are ever going to see our wishes for the world completely fulfilled in the way that we think they ought to be. I guess that is the way life works.
Probably not since we only have two choices….so I’ll take vanilla. chuq
Reblogged this on AGR Free Press.
Thanx maybe someone will start paying attention chuq
The boy who cried WOLF, over and over and over again.
Exactly….a typical playbook. chuq
I’m more like livid. Alex Christoforou (sp) talked about this. I never miss him. He, like you, is calling out what a sh*t show this really is… and the band plays on. Livid!
Once this over where will the US look for wasting more money? chuq
Your thoughts are as good as mine. Not the US? Thanks for posting. It’s refreshing.
You are very welcome and I appreciate your visits and comments chuq
I reckon that if I were in Zelensky’s place, where life is no more assured and the Russians are destroying everything all around me every day of my life and there is no end in sight and the people I love are being murdered by the insane despot, I reckon I would get to the point where I would say anything in order to get help too…..I just pray that the arrogant idiots who despise the idea of helping Zelensky never get into the same position that he is now.
Arrogant idiots? You mean like me? not to worry I will be overruled by those that would rather see fund war than anything else. chuq
I was not specifically referring to you, my friend, so you can forget that one because I know down deep in my heart that you care for the less fortunate of this world.
Thanx John and I do../.I feel that sometimes people just do not get why I write the way I do. chuq
It’s nobody’s business to question why you write the way you do and they sure as hell don’t have a right to judge either of us for the way we write– they have the choice to read us or not to read us .. I, for one, am completely capable of becoming a bigger asshole than I already am… but, for the time being, I choose not to.
Not so much judge just look at what I say and write and understand why I say such things….that is what is missing. chuq
Don’t eat all the vanilla.. same some for me.
Never enough vanilla….LOL chuq
