The #Zaporizhzhia #nuclear plant, Europe’s largest with six reactors, was seized by Russian troops in 2022 and each side regularly accuses the other of attacks that endanger nuclear safety. The power plant is close to the frontline.

It produces no electricity at the moment, but needs power to ensure fuel in the reactors remains cool and no #meltdown occurs. It was the 10th occasion since the start of the conflict that the plant has been disconnected from the power grid.

#Trump, as he departed for the event, told reporters that he would fire #military leaders on the spot if he did not like them.

Trump then opened with a joke as he took the stage, saying: "If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room, of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future."

He then spoke of the #US the military prowess, in often wandering remarks praising US #nuclear #submarines, his creation of the #SpaceForce & military recruiting.

The low light of Trump’s speech came when he complained he couldn’t use the “n-word” anymore.

#Trump was speaking to hundreds of #US generals & admirals when he got on the subject of #nuclear weapons. The word nuclear was not one to “throw around,” he said.

“We can’t let people throw around that word, I call it the n-word. There are 2 n-words, & you can’t use either of them.”

“You can’t use either of them,” he said again.

@jwildeboer "Maybe they should respect us too?"

Well they can't, because they want a fat 500 G€ subsidy from the EU (or maybe 240 G€ now) to keep living their dream, and that requires Germany to share into it.

"Fears of disaster as Russian #nuclear #submarine reports major malfunction in #Mediterranean"

Jesus fucking Christ

Welcome to your latest episode in the long running saga of #USSR/ #Russia and nuclear accidents

😩 🤦 😠

clarification:

not nuclear powered

"nuclear capable" (can carry nuclear missiles)

Meanwhile:

"Safety fears as external power to #Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant still out after three days”

This would lead to a station blackout which is what happened at Fukushima. Reactors need electricity to cool #nuclear fuel, otherwise the fuel melts.

The 6 reactors are currently powered by backup generators.

Zelensky apparently warned the world today of nuclear-armed drones if authoritarian and lawless governments continue to be allowed to wage war and threaten liberal nations.
