Yep, just wonderful stuff. And, just like the dam, everyone is going to sit back and let it happen because "there's nothing we can do, I don't want to be nuked!" Then it happens, and it's suddenly, "well, we're not REALLY sure who caused this. I mean, we just CAN'T know!"

So many self-proclaimed environmentalists who won't say a word about how this is going to be a far worse disaster than Chornobyl (same as how they said nothing about the ecocide caused by the Kakhova dam being blown up), or the numerous "concerned citizens" who were so deathly afraid of nuclear war (really, they just hate Ukraine and Ukrainians; they don't actually care beyond that) that will now say nothing about a major nuclear blackmail threat.

Many will just cry that Ukrainians are being hysterical about this as they were the dam, even after it happens; people don't realize that this isn't alarmism for the sake of alarmism - Russia means business and they will eventually unleash a new wave of terror. I don't know about others, but I'm terrified of living in a world where nuclear blackmail is a tactic that works.
