Exasperated, not angry.
I’d have thought pretty much every nation has a biological research lab and the majority of them will have something that is weaponisable. Not quite what they’re suggesting but true through some weird lens.I see China has been joining in and of course that would suit them fine .
China Pushes Conspiracy Theory About U.S. Labs in Ukraine
China accused the U.S. military of operating “dangerous” biolabs in Ukraine, echoing a Russian conspiracy theory that Western officials warned could be part of an effort to justify President Vladimir Putin’s invasion after the fact.www.bloomberg.com

If the lab stories are true, then why is Russia bombing Ukraine?
IF hit, wouldn't some of the pathogens get released?

I thought Chernobyl does still produce power, just run a 4-gang from round the back.

I can't imagine that they wouldn't have known what sort of hospital it was. Is this trying to draw NATO in, or just more S.O.P. given the bombing of hospitals in Syria, because that seems very grim indeed to target a maternity and children's hospital.
eta there seems to be a rumour that thermobaric munitions were used.

Psychological warfare. It's devastatingly dispiriting. It's why they do it.

I’d assume it’s the usual “break the people’s will to resist” shit airforces have been trying to do for a century now.
This despite numerous studies suggesting it’s far more efficient to target actual military targets because all you do is make people angry and vengeful and breed the next generation of people willing to fight you because you literally killed their mums.

Unlike the Israelis, Russians, British and FrenchI see the Americans are supplying Patriot Missile systems to Poland, they never miss an opportunity to sell weapons.

Especially when they are trying to force a peace deal on him. I still think he should accept it, terrible as it is, as loads more of this is the alternative.

It's highly important to have power in Nuclear Reactor control rooms to avoid the possibility of someone stumbing in the dark and landing on the big button marked 'Do Not Press This Button'.

Surely the safest thing would be not to have such a button? Putting "Do Not Press This Button" on a button seems a bit too much tempting fate. I know I would get an uncontrollable itch to press it as soon as I spotted it.

I suspected it might be a sort of 'See, we're that much of an evil bastard, that we target children, so make peace because we'll do worse' ploy, but it also seems designed to harden international opinion against them.

But surely that button would only work if the power was on.

On a tangental note, because my A level politics teacher was seeing one of Benn's team we all got taken off to see PMQs (I got a seat seemingly directly above Kinnoch's shining pate), and there was a row of buttons in front of me. The HOC person said to me 'don't touch them! you. must. not. touch. them.', so obviously the first thing I did was lean on them in my desire to get a better view, and fessed up to which he said 'did anything happen? no? don't it again tho'. I'd quite like to know what those buttons were supposed to do.

They were a test to see if you could follow simple instructions clearly you failed.
