Exactly, I choose not to. Certainly not for £350. That'll be gone in a week on extra food, maybe clothes and provisions, maybe they need a new phone, maybe they beg you to send some money home. Who knows. And then good luck trying to remove them from your property. Or wait till you come back from work and they've disappeared along with a chunk of your valuables. Fun.

Which video game did you get that one from? Or was it a film this time? Inquiring minds want to know.

Its quite "normal" to dispose of captured munitions, especially when you dont know the state of it, it denies use of it should the site be recaptured and removes a threat to own forces.
It'll likely be a "controlled" explosion, but it is a tad reckless doing it in such close proximity to the NPP, my guess is they dont quite have the freedom/safety of movement to push out any further?

I guess the question is just how close the proximity is, are we talking 500m away or talking they've literally piled the ammunition against the walls of power plant, along with some C4 on the wall

Reports suggest in the proximity of the training building that got smashed up and set on fire the other week, so likely not that close to anything too spicy, I'd suspect in the scrub land next to it. Issue is if something goes wrong, munitions firing off with no control or direction:eek::cry:.
But seriously they are probably just released that statement to warn people and reduce panic if they hear huge explosions at a NPP.
I've seen some HUGE controlled explosions of captured munitions/HME etc in Afghan, always done out in the Dasht miles from anywhere or anyone to avoid any potential risk. Very impressive to watch!

It's not normal to blow them up in front of a NPP, those huge shock waves from ammo dumps can do damage to a considerable area. Sounds like it might be some kind of propaganda stunt. Who knows what they're up to.

Or the UN finds its balls, holds a vote with Russia as the aggressor excluded on supporting Ukraine if they request it on giving Russia 24 hours to leave or sending a large scale international peacekeeping force special operation to protect the country.

Otherwise we might as well wind up the UN it serves no purpose.

(Sure there is a chance of nuclear war)

The UN serves its purpose very well, you think it only sits when a way breaks out ? It does many many good things yet when it gets in a tough spot once in a while the organisation is derived to hell.

It isn't anything like as simplistic as that.

Exactly, but it's place where disputes and ideas of solving are sat around to TALK if you do not talk everyone dies and we go back to the strongest chief. Which is this day is extinction and the insects come back and laugh at us in 100000 years.

Sometimes though there becomes a point where talk will not solve the situation and there is far too much failure to recognise and deal with that.
