      1. Another helpful thread from someone with real expertise in nukes. No absolute certainty but we have to understand what is likelyhttps://twitter.com/Claire_Wahlen/status/1499551011492573190 …

      Appreciate that nuclear experts and active watchers are speaking out and echoing that the nuclear reactors at Zaporizhzhia are NOT likely to explode in the way Chernobyl did - it will be bad, but a different bad.

      2. One big takeway is even if the worst Chernobyl-like nightmare doesn't happen, this is very bad because of intent. The goal here is to knock out Ukrainian power & emergency power. That in itself is a war crime.

          3. Hard to go see a good path going forward. There have already been war crimes and things are escalating. The more this goes on, the harder it is to see any plausible off ramp or de-escalation.

          And this isn't even the only way to achieve those goals, though it's certainly the scariest.

          There’s been about a dozen war crimes committed in the last six days. He doesn’t seem too phased about the prospect of committing war crimes

          And yet because Russia has nukes and it's unlikely Putin will be out of power when this ends, no one will be charged unless Putin rats them out to save himself. Depressing, but that's the reality.

          People think I'm spewing nonsense but that's how Hirohito got away with war crimes.

          Does anyone know what happened? Is radioactivity spreading over Europe?
