Revisiting the ZNPP and other issues.

T 55 to the front, reportedly around Voronezh

First we need to revisit the nuclear plant, because it’s a global security issue. The International Atomic Energy Agency was given access, but not full access. To be specific, not to the roof which Ukraine said had packages on, and civilian satellites noted.

So here is the statement, and I am an admirer of the diplomacy of the Director. He really knows how to call people out while being nice. That’s a skill:

He is not in Belarus, and the camp there is filled with tents but empty. So let me offer to you the color from General SVR. It is notable that this lacks any allusions to doubles (these are likely true,) or cancer…unlikely. However, Vladimir Putin is called weak:

Dear subscribers and guests of the channel!
The agreements, reached between the leadership of the PMC Wagner and the leadership of Russia, through the mediation of Alexander Lukashenko, on June 24, during the military mutiny, are bursting at the seams. A group of people, surrounded Russian President Vladimir Putin, led by Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev, are outraged by the failure…
