Assuming Russia would attack the ZNPP in this manner, why in the world would the Russians need to detonate two units when they are the world's leader in nuclear weapons? They could simply drop a nuke if they were going that route. No different than them simply turning off the taps on Nordstream instead of blowing them up.

Also, why would the Russians cause a nuclear disaster in the recently reclaimed territories, knowing full well that the fallout wouldn't just be localized in Ukraine but would likely affect most of it's own territories within a large radius?

Again, we have been over it but you still refuse to admit to any possibility that might indicate that Russia is not in 100% complete control of the situation.

1. Scorched earth, if they cant have it, no one can.
2. Denial of a potential avenue of attack by Ukraine. Which might be important to go along with the 25k Wagnerites they lost.
3. The threat alone may be an attempt to slow/divert an attack. An actual bluff.
4. False flag psy-op to get the home crowd back on your side after a very public falling out with your best troops.

Two possible alternatives not directly related to the battlefield.
5. It may not be a matter of choice, again this thing has no main power source. It may just be a matter of time until this fails anyway.
6. It may be used to either buy time, in order to stabilize it, or justification to back out of a war which has had some recent dramatics that there is no way to spin as a positive. You would crown him Nobel Peace Prize Winner for life, and the west would get to spend billions on "fixing" the problem.

They give enough of a damn to not deliberately ruin productive farmland in the surrounding regions and wiping out a large number of labor. Even if you want to buy in to this racist trope, it still doesn't make economic sense to create a false flag at the expense of ruining a large area. And a false flag that no one in the West will buy. Hell, the Russians didn't even bomb Nordstream or the Kakhovka Dam and they still are getting blamed for it by the West.

Uh you mean besides the huge land mine fields they made, the near constant bombardments of ukrainian territory, the deportations of tens of thousands of locals, the huge conscription of their own population to fight in this war, their own use of depleted uranium ammuntion, the literal tons of lead they are dumping into ground soil from all the shooting.

Makes as much sense as Russia blowing up the dam responsible for water supply to Crimea.

FYP stupid post Vlad. FTR, you disgust me. If you actually live in the States you should really think about today and what was given up so you can spout such stupid, disgusting crap.

This country is far from the ideals of the founders. Our very involvement in Ukraine is just one example. Our pandemic response is another.

So now the narrative is that they are not only running out of shells, but running out of tanks?

It has been Moe. Ever since we’ve seen them pulling out T-54s and T-55s. Try to keep up. Unless of course you consider a T-54/55 a modern main battle tank… which absolutely nobody except Russian propagandists do.

It won’t happen, but China could invade Russia from the east and nothing would stop them except nukes.
