I suspect Biden let Putin know the US military would intervene if that fire wasn't stopped.

The Russians had been shooting at the firefighters. Someone gave an order to stop that. And while it might have been the local Russian commander, it's more likely it came from higher up.

I honestly can't imagine Biden NOT sending a blunt message to Putin about what would be done if the Russians created a nuclear catastrophe at that plant, one that would cause serious harm to NATO countries.

1. Wouldn't it cause harm to Russia too given the proximity?

5. Undoubtedly but Putin doesn't care about his people. They're just cannon fodder for his empire

dreams.

2. I hope you're right !!!

3. An exploding nuclear plant, 10 times the size of Chernobyl, is an attack upon Western civilization

Time to declare war.

6. "Russia, if you're listening": eliminate this madman before he does any more damage.

7. I suspect

An above average intelligence Russian commander said stop fighting and put that fire out before we all glow for the rest of our very short, very painful lives.

Can you imagine what would happen if that treasonous fucker was president?

9. I doubt Putin could get a message to the front that quickly. Their CCC is demonstrably shit.

Just like he wouldn't direct artillery from Moscow.

Putin is nefarious, but let's put the blame for this where it belongs: Russian Military Incompetence.
