Zelensky is getting real desperate. Shouldn't he be hiding in his underground bunker by now?

This and the Ukrainian attacks on the similar Kursk NPP in Russia which is also an RBMK reactor are quite dangerous and could lead to radiation releases. I would like to think the Russians did not do this one, or at least not on purpose. The timing is also suspicious as heck. Right when the US threatens to throw Ukraine under the bus.

Apparently laowhy86 is complaining that YouTube is screwing with his and other anti-China channels because views on his videos have disappeared. Maybe YouTube figured out who's a bot and click farm. Just like there are so-called independent fanboy channels that perpetuate right-wing narratives talking about the same things at the same time because a larger entity is paying them to do it. YouTube would have an interest because they don't want to have to pay for fake views. Really... how many Americans are interested in China? My experience most Americans only care about themselves and no one else. I'm amazed how many Americans don't know current events that has to do with the US in general. You see American talk shows that make fun of the ignorance of the general public on simple things. The numbers these anti-China channels get surprises me but they're probably in part mostly anti-Chinese Chinese and Asians. Look at the recent technological leaps China has experienced. You have Asians expressing not being ashamed of being Asian. Maybe they're losing that audience also. He's complaining this happened after the election... What does that mean. Trump ordered YouTube to stop posting anti-China videos? How does Trump winning the election force a pro-China slant at YouTube? If anything those are choices made by Americans. Then there's USAID money is drying up and these channels are dependent on the views for money.

Their viewership started dropping a few months ago, coinciding with the Visa-free travels. IMO the influx of China travel vlogs, mostly positive and also fresh since there was almost none during Covid lockdowns, drowned out their (laowhy86, serpentza, china uncensored) drivel. I mean, if you're curious about China, would you prefer to watch a video of some white dudes reading news clippings to you from the states, or would you want to see footage of actual China from people who were just there?

It has been mentioned that a serial was visible still visible in one of the pictures of the engine and it was commented thatit belonged to a batch launched back in 2023. Usual caveats apply as there was no proof provided, but the timing doesn't make sense whatsoever and it does match the Ukranian MO of trying to pull something whenever there is a talk of negotiations or easing up of sanctions, etc.
