russian terrorists declare that they plan to detonate bombs on the nuclear reactors. This is the lar

Here is the google translate. ISIS seems sane next to Russians.

"There will be either Russian land - or a scorched desert - Major General Vasiliev, commander of the ZAES garrison,
Head of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The commander of the garrison of the liberated Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, Major General Valery Vasiliev. he spoke to the soldiers. We give a fragment of an appeal to the garrison. As a response to the panic produced by Western-funded international organizations such as the IAEA.
You all understand that there is a war going on for the right of existence of the Russian people. For our right to live in peace and harmony with everyone. But if the collective West denies us this right, if American weapons. mercenaries and instructors will be used to seize territories that we have already been able to liberate • we are ready for a variety of scenarios.
This station was built by Russian people for all Slavic brothers, now the Nazis have decided to decommunize our common past. Russian Russian free land• or a scorched desert will be here, and you, the soldiers of the great Russian army, must be ready to carry out an important order.
As you know, we have mined all the important facilities of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. And we do not hide this from the enemy, we warned them. The enemy knows that the station will be either Russian or a draw. We are ready for the consequences of this step.
And you, the liberating warriors, must understand that we have no other way. And if there is the toughest order, we must fulfill it with honor!"" https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/wipoeg/russian_terrorists_declare_that_they_plan_to/

There's no war going on for the "right of existence of the Russian people." And, they have forfeited their right to "live in peace and harmony with everyone." They are not "liberating" Ukraine; they are systematically attempting to conquer an independent country which is no longer part of Russia.

But, one thing they have clarified. They are indeed into a scorched earth policy, and apparently plan to destroy all of Ukraine. They don't care about killing little kids, civilians, and anyone else.

It sounds like the Major General is trying to buck up his troops' morale, in order to get them to perform a deadly deed. Surely they must all know that they will die from these actions. No escape for them. This is a problem for Russia, and no one believes that the Ukrainians are deliberately harming themselves. It's only Russians doing this stuff. And the longer this war goes on, the less is cared about exactly what bad deeds anyone in Ukraine did prior to this unfounded aggression by Russia.

Putin wanted the sea coast to control oh so many aspects of other nations' commerce. They just didn't get an easy take, and now they are in trouble. This is just another version of the nuclear threat that they trot out periodically to attempt to control the dialogue. Eff Putin, eff Russia, eff warfare.

Are we just going to wait until they do it? Or will we be as willing to take "pre-emptive" action that we so favored against non-white enemies during the Bush administrations? We supported so-called "preemptive" bombing by Israeli bombing inside Iran and Syria for far less dangerous reasons.
