6 northern European nations sign a deal to protect North Sea infrastructure from hostile actors (But Does it Matter?)

LLAW’s COMMENTARY, Tuesday, (04/09/2024)

The world-wide nuclear news is almost solely about the latest attacks on the attacks (this time with armed drones) on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in Ukraine. Both Russia and Ukraine are blaming each other for the attack, but, to my own mind, it makes no sense that Ukraine would attack itself and its people even though Russia has long controlled the operation of the nuclear power plant. But the facts seem to be that whichever country is attacking the plant, it is putting Ukraine and surrounding countries in serious nuclear radiation danger.

At this point, since virtually all of the media stories are on this story today, I suggest that we all pick and choose the source of our information from our preferred media sources below, and hope this problematic situation plays out without a European nuclear catastrophe, that could rapidly spread around the world, including America.

The ultimate fact, regardless, is that the entire world is in dire danger of this territorial war between Russia and Ukraine could very easily spark WWIII if both the political and military disputes are not resolved poste haste — especially with NATO, other counties, and major watchdogs from around the world casting long shadows about the growing difficulties of resolving this grave standoff that is fast becoming an international potential powder keg of world-wide nuclear powers, including not only nuclear war, but of nuclear power plants becoming enemies of the very countries they were originally designed to comfort. ~llaw
