Looks like Russia is trying to blow up the plant and reactors.

For the Ukrainians looking for ideas for the type of restaurant to open in Nevada, and on other parts of the USA, including in Merced, California...

The best pastrami sandwich in Orange County is at Harry's Cafe in Stanton...

Get the combo with a Dr Pepper and onion rings.

http://www.harryscafeorangecounty.com/

You can open a Harry's Cafe anywhere in the world and succeed, it is a great restaurant, and the pastrami is fantastic.

Salute,

The Ukrainians can also open Oki Dog restaurants all around the world... They have the best pastrami hot dog...

Nevada would love Oki Dog restaurants, and so would Merced, etc.

Salute,

So sad really, Putin is the new prince of darkness. Bombing nuclear plants and children hospitals turning a modern society into rubble. Killing innocents indiscriminately. Maybe taking some yachts will help.

Sounds like the building on fire was a training facility, so the world got lucky.  Where are the military professionals in these invasion forces?  You know, officers who can point out that it's a bad idea to shoot directly at Europe's largest reactor complex, and that functioning power plants have strategic value.   

Meanwhile, I like the Japanese non-lethal assistance, it's stuff they really need in Ukraine and sometimes gets overlooked when countries are sending aid. 

It is a rare move by Japan, which has a principle of not shipping defense supplies to countries in conflict.

Bulletproof vests, helmets, tents, as well as generators, food, winter clothes and medical supplies will be delivered by Self-Defense Force aircraft.

I didn't think I'd ever say this, a week ago, but we need to consider a no fly zone.  Putin is a direct and immediate threat to all Europe.

Pity you did not feel that way about Aleppo.

No thought that was a Civil war to stop ISIS, not an invasion of a modern democratic nation.

A no fly zone means NATO shooting down Russian aircraft.

not sure we are there just yet.

Your ignorance of that part of the world is exceeded only by your ignorance and hatred.of the people living there.

Ever ask yourself why we, including the Trump administration, were backing the rebels in Aleppo, as modern a city as Kyiv and as historically and culturally important, if they were ISIS?  Or did you just not care?
