GOODBYE TO ALL THAT, TOO

 I see reports from the always predictable world press that Ukraine claims that Russia actually fired an attack drone at Chernobyl and that this Russian drone made it through the teeth of the fierce Ukrainian air defenses and exploded on the containment vessel keeping in all that naughty radiation. There is, as usual, just the statement by the Ukrainians that this happened and the investigators that have covered themselves in glory factchecking the living hell out of everything else on the planet have all breathlessly reported that, "Ukrainian officials have announced that the Russians exploded a drone on the containment shield over the intensively radioactive remains of Chernobyl's exploded reactor." Good work press.

I'm of two minds on  this. In the first I ask myself why would Russia launch an explosive attack designed to breach the containment vessel it paid blood and money to create and the second mind that asks, why wouldn't Russia try to blow a hole in the containment vessel and send another flock of radioactive particles into the West which is so amusingly using every weapon at its disposal to launch attacks on Russia?

In a sane world there would be no question of attacking something as fiendishly dangerous as a nuclear reactor but this hasn't been a sane world since August, 1914.

You see, if the Ukrainians are the ones that are using the carnage to gain advantage and have decided that they could try a little 4D chess against Putin and the tools in the West by blowing a hole in containment and blaming Russia, I can see that. In Ukraine with the election of President Trump we have finally come to the end of the beginning and perhaps the end of it all. The election has put into a known Power and his first actions indicate that he will end the war in Ukraine on terms convenient to US alone and never mind the EU or Ukraine. By this there is no doubt that Zelensky has now been forced into a corner from which there is no way out.

If President Putin has ordered the attack then he is also making a statement and it is quite different from Zelensky's. Russia is not afraid of continuing and by this action making it clear that its enemies in Europe have gone well beyond being a distraction and have now engaged the lively interest of a KGB man who rules most powerful and by far most powerful country in continental Europe and he invites their attention to his complete indifference he shares for any future downwind radiation problems that may occur due to Europe's idiocy in prolonging the 'special military action' in Ukraine for years beyond when it should have ended.

At this point I also would not put an attack on the containment vessel at Chernobyl by rogue CIA agents as beyond belief. The CIA and every other Executive Agency in this country have been wildly out of control and running around destabilizing the world for the last 35 years. I think they would do anything to keep running their little schemes in the shadows because somebody is getting very wealthy at everyone else's expense and they don't care.

I don't think any sane person would attack that containment vessel but the evidence from the last time seems to show the most disinterested party would be someone in the United States or Iberian Peninsula.
