Didn't Russia do the same thing to a nuclear plant in Ukraine 2 years ago?

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 44 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Comrade, no. That was friendly military exercise!

Are you under the impression that the Russian Federation is somehow Socialist?

[–] doodledup@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

And we called it what?

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Did they attack it, or did fighting just happen around it? Because from all the ink the media spent on reporting about it, I don't remember them actually saying it was targeted.

If you truly believe that Russian commanders never considered the Ukrainian nuclear reactor a military target after the fact that they gladly bomb schools and civilian shelters that never contained anything with military value, we can be allowed to call you a sweet summer child.

no one needs to hear what you come up with in your mind palace

It's not a palace. More like a moist moldy shack out in the landfill.

Oh you sweet summer child... It's not an attack when the Führer commands it.

[–] Keineanung@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

AdamEatsAss asking a great question.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I imagine that’s some of the logic behind selecting this target. They want the Russians to feel the insecurity that Ukrainians have felt.

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

By that logic we need to hand them 100 tlams to pound Moscow.

We should do that anyway though.

Was it an act of nuclear terrorism when Russia did it?

[–] Nooodel@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

SCMP... ain't that a state run propaganda agency?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

lemmy.world ain't that the reddit of Lemmy instances?
