Oh well Russians already responsible for worst nuclear accident in history what's one more

Hang on a sec. If Russia is occupying the plant, why would they be shelling their own people. This means Ukraine is shelling a nuclear power plant. Why is there no outrage about Ukraine shelling a nuclear power plant (like when Russia did a few months ago)?

By the Ukrainians… left that part out.

An absolute villian only self interest, lets start by telling your mega offshore accounts, shall we ?
