cowardice is not an option. Both NATO and Putin's inner circle need to step up or face megadeath consequences
Above here is the potential circle of devastation which would hit if the largest nuclear power plant in Europe is totaled. An area 10 times the radioactive dead zone of Chernopyl. I.e. so far the plant is "safe" but in an area so conflicted with idiots with guns, this plant is ripe to blow. Also, we have that a British journalistic team was shot up by Putin's thugs near Kiev. And finally we have what Putin's team should be telling PUTIN as this war is UNWINNABLE. Translation, both NATO and Putins inner circle need to step up their game and END IT. NOW
First after the potential circle of devastation, for the power plant, we need to consider Idiots with GUNS who nearly killed a British Journalistic team

The News team initially thought it was a victim of "friendly fire, then realized that that was not even remotely right
ANYONE IN NATO, YOU NEED TO UP YOUR GAME. Delay will have only one consequence, A LOT OF MURDERED , DEAD PEOPLE
Next, let is review what Putin's inner circle should be telling Vladimir PUTIN

What Putin's Aides Should Be Telling Him Now
by Michael Vickers
Imagine yourself today in the unenviable shoes of Vladimir Putin’s national security aides, charged with briefing the Russian president on his options roughly one week into his disastrous Ukraine invasion.
The briefing, if it is an honest one, ought to go something like this:
Here is the situation, Mr. President: Our rapid-strike plan was supposed to have caused the Zelensky government to quickly capitulate, enabling us to install a puppet regime in Kyiv and incorporate Ukraine into the Russian Federation. Instead, it has unified the West, kindled in the Ukrainian people a fierce resistance, and led the NATO alliance and the European Union to boost their military support for Ukraine and impose economy-destroying sanctions on Russia.

We have suffered thousands of casualties and have been forced to disclose the names of at least some of them to the Russian people. We have lost hundreds of combat vehicles. Our main invasion force spent days stalled in what looks more like a traffic jam than an attack column.
Our economy is being squeezed by sanctions that have targeted our central bank, limiting our access to the $630 billion in foreign exchange reserves that we have carefully built up, causing the ruble to collapse.
Protests are breaking out in several Russian cities, despite the fact that we have arrested thousands of demonstrators.
Our options now are not great: We could double down in Ukraine by leveling Kyiv, Kharkiv and other major cities with artillery, missiles and airstrikes, killing large numbers of civilians. We could use chemical weapons, as Assad did in Syria, to terrorize the population further.
But the costs of taking these steps would be high and are unlikely to compel the Ukrainian people to give up. Even if we find and eliminate President Zelensky, he will be replaced by another leader, even in exile, and the war will go on. The longer it does, the more casualties we will suffer; and the more our military will be degraded.
We were driven out of Afghanistan in 1989 after we suffered 26,000 war dead over nine years.
The size of our armed forces is a fraction of what it was during the 1980s. We can’t sustain such losses.
A resistance movement needs favorable terrain, a population willing to fight, neighboring states that can provide sanctuary, and an external sponsor willing to supply it with weapons, training, intelligence and political support.
Ukraine has all of these elements going for it.
Its active military and reserves number some 400,000 to 500,000. Many of them will survive to join the resistance. We have nowhere near the forces required to occupy and conquer a country of more than 40 million.
If we withdraw, any puppet regime we install will be in mortal danger.
The Ukrainian resistance will be equipped with many times more Stinger antiaircraft missiles and far more lethal antitank weapons than fighters had in Afghanistan.

This constitutes the museum. Both NATO and PUTIN'S INNER CIRCLE NEED TO UP their game and get off the THRONE. IMO further delay will have only one consequence, a LOT OF DEAD PEOPLE
