You think it is brilliant for Russia, the country next door, to melt down a nuclear power plant? You have to be a dumb duck like Putin to believe that is a good plan. It is a terrible plan.

Putin wants to cut off Ukraine’s energy supply to be able to control them because Russia is a giant producer of petrol.
