Ukraine is in trouble

The only country to nuke Australia this far was UK.

Brits are Putin henchmen.
French did it in Australian "backyard" so may be they are too


Key Soviet nuclear scientists included Igor Kurchatov (the "father of the Soviet bomb"), Yuly Khariton (designer of the first Soviet bombs), Andrei Sakharov (father of the Soviet H-bomb), and physicist Georgy Flerov, all central figures in the Soviet nuclear program were from the Russian SFSR (RSFSR).

Google AI:

While Ukraine doesn't have current nuclear weapon designers for its own arsenal (having given up Soviet nukes), its scientists were crucial to the Soviet program, and Ukrainian facilities like the Kharkiv Institute developed key nuclear tech, with modern efforts focusing on peaceful isotopes and defense tech like cruise missiles, rather than nukes themselves. Ukraine's defense industry (Pivdenne, Pivdenmash) built missile delivery systems, but nuclear warhead design was centralized in Russia.
Key Points on Ukrainian Nuclear Scientists & Industry:
Soviet Era: Ukrainian physicists at the Ukrainian Institute for Physics and Technology (UIPhT) played a vital role in early Soviet nuclear weapon design, even proposing fundamental concepts.


Wiki:

Kyrylo Dmytrovych Synelnykov (Ukrainian: Кирило Дмитрович Синельников; 29 May 1901 – 16 October 1966) was a Soviet and Ukrainian physicist who participated in the Soviet atomic bomb project.

V'yacheslav Vasilovich Danilenko (Ukrainian: Выячеслав Васильович Даниленко; born January 10, 1935)[1] is a Ukrainian[2] physicist who specializes in the nanodiamonds, which he gained expertise during his time in the former Soviet program of nuclear weapons.[3][4]

Oleg Alexandrovich Lavrentiev (Ukrainian: Лаврентьєв Олег Олександрович; July 7, 1926 – February 10, 2011[1]) was a physicist who worked on the Soviet atomic bomb project and whose research contributions were fundamental to the understanding of thermonuclear fusion.

He was a self-taught physicist who was allowed to attend the Moscow State University but did not secure graduation from. Eventually, the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology awarded him the doctorate in 2004

Just in:

George Hooley named as British paratrooper killed in Ukraine
28-year-old lance corporal died while testing a new air defence system

The Daily Mail notes that the Parachute Regiment is an airborne infantry regiment of the British Army, based primarily in Colchester.
Traditionally, the 2nd and other battalions of the Parachute Regiment in Colchester regularly supply personnel to the SAS.

This is 46th Brit killed in Ukraine.

Most of them were from RSFSR but Ukrainian nationalists like to declare significant/famous people as Ukrainians e.g. Leonardo Davinchi

Putin's nuclear blackmail.


It's totally unfair that every person in the whole world has a nuclear weapon
pointed at them – ready to fire on a hair trigger -
threatened nearly every day by Russia with extermination through no fault of their own -
for nothing they have done to anyone else.

I mean – in civilian life -
it's illegal to point a loaded gun at another person's head -
you'd be put in jail for threatening to kill them but somehow
it's just fine to point a nuclear weapon at every one of us.
Go figure?
We've had this problem since 1945 – for 80 years – and no one has
come up with a solution in all that time.
It seems that we're stuck with it forever -
for 1000s more years – if humanity can survive that long.

On July 16th 1945 when the first atomic bomb was exploded
Oppenheimer said the world would never be the same again -
he was right.

Unfortunately it was scientists like him - all over the world -
who did the same thing and gave their power to unknown politicians in the future
to unleash global destruction and the end of life on this planet.

I don't think it will come to nukes this year
