They are when they're presented independently of each other. They also kind of don't make sense together either, but whatevs.
Well you did deliberately overstate number 3, let's be honest here. The supposed leaked plans were for Putin to purge any anti Russian Ukranians, which would probably mean driving them out rather than sending in death squads.

He wants Ukraine as a permanent part of a larger Russian empire, harking back to the USSR.

That's 1 and 3 together.

Don't get him involved, he thinks all Brexiteers are racists.
I hear you guys are actually neo nazi fascists. I called my friend in Russia and he’s gonna sort youse out with various pieces of scrap metal and malnourished conscripts.

We do seem to be in dire need of de-Nazification.

I'm not sure I understand why, could you explain?
At the end of the second world war the allies started throwing people the fuck out. They had to found Israel so they'd have somewhere to put all the Juice the Euros didn't want around.

I'm not sure that's quite how things happened, but I was referring to the current situation regarding immigration in Europe, not something that happened decades before I was born.

"Criminal purge" does have some implications beyond "telling them to leave" but your point is well taken that they didn't spell out that they plan to kill them. That being said, we don't have a lot of reason to believe the #1 part either.

Not much has changed. Ask Francis Ngannou.

The biggest risk is if the cooling system is damaged, hopefully shutdown could be achieved before that happens.

Chernobyl blew up because of a design fault which caused the system to initially heat up more when the emergency shutdown procedure was activated. I would imagine that the same issue doesn't affect the reactors at this particular nuclear power plant.
I would imagine staff SCRAMed the reactor cores as soon as they came under assault. If the cooling system remains intact, we're good. It would be titanically stupid for Russian forces to breach a nuclear fucking reactor from within the fallout zone. It would be pretty stupid either way, but I just checked the prevailing winds and they blow down over the Black Sea toward Turkey, so also bad for Turkey.

I believe the real concern is the spend fuel pools and dry storage. Fire getting to them would be... bad.

You would hate it anyway
That's why I read non-fiction. Not to confirm my opinions, but to challenge them. Sometimes other people have valid positions you haven't previously thought of. Sometimes people's positions are based on something they haven't thought of. Sometimes people should just stick to what they're best at; losing at chess to computers.

The Ghost of Kiev just called me from the gravesite of the 13 heroes from Snake Island - he is upset because he doesn't understand how the Russians can be so gullible.
That’s impossible I heard the Ghost just downed an SU-57 north of Kyiv!

Agreed, I was referring to the reports floating around that it could be "x times worse than Chenobyl", which are pretty much bullshit.
