    Is everyone afraid yet? Better keep going even though Russia just humiliated themselves by being held off by one of the poorest countries in Europe. Always be aaaffrraaaiiiddd.

      Ok, I’m with you on most of your points but you are mistaken in thinking Ukraine is a poor country. They are literally the bread basket of eastern Europe. That’s one of the biggest reasons Putin is so intent on taking it.

        Bread basket does not mean rich. Look at the gdp numbers per capita, they are shockingly poor.

      Let me throw in my two cents.

      We have people in the U.S. who shoot up schools. We have people who stormed the capitol when their great orange godking failed to be made King President.

      I, for one, am afraid of what the kind of person who instigates an insurrection could do with a target like a nuclear power plant.

        With the safety features built into all nuclear plants, it would have to be a crazed nuclear engineer and the place would have to be abandoned and yet still somehow functioning. This is real life, not the Simpsons.
