HAHAHAHA now that's fucking rich of you, coming here from the imperialist social media consensus.
But ok, i will humor you, though note that one sealion got banned already in this thread.
Nordstream.
Power plant, here, here, here
Dam here and here
Donetsk bombings plenty here
Uranium shells effects are pretty obviously researched in Iraq and Serbia, about howm seding it to Ukraine here and here. They are even bragging about it ffs.
Some of those links are broken, but I'm getting the jist. Not all those links support your position, tho. Many that are not Russian news orgs are pointing the blame at Russia.
The politico article makes sure to point out that Russia is placing artillery in a position very close to the nuclear plant. That's Bad, and inviting disaster.
~~The first link is a conspiracy blogger.~~ this is patently not true! Leaving this up as an abject lesson in doing a little more reading before reacting to reflexive vitriol. I don't particularly like that Ukraine shot at a nuclear power plant, but...
There is no real great answer to the question of "how do you behave when someone as a boot to your throat?" This war, started by Russia, is monstrous, in no small part because of the horrible cycle of retribution.
I didn't know that Ukraine actually fired on Russian installations near a nuclear power plant. Thank you for informing me. I don't like it, but I blame Russia for daring Ukraine to attack it.
Seymour Hersh is a conspiracy blogger??? You want to tell me all the previous times when he was correct like was also conspiracy theories? My Lai, Watergate, CIA support for Pinochet, Israel having nukes, Abu Ghraib, etc. ???
Small part of the consequence of NATO being "Bad, and inviting disaster" since it been founded and especially since 1991.
All works for me, just checked, but nvm
This isn't "horrible cycle of retribution", this is ongoing imperialism and specifically USA efforts to maintain their global hegemony in the capitalist system - an infinite growth in finite planet. And even the hot part of that war wasn't started by Russia, it was started by Ukraine attacking Donbas in 2014, Russian intervened in that in 2022.
Additionally here's this article that pointedly refutes many of the main claims of Seymour Hersh's article.

Also there's only one anonymous source on Seymour Hersh's article.
It's plausible that the USA had a part in it, but hardly conclusive.
