If Russia is indeed actively shooting at this nuclear plant, it’s time to end this, now. 

It’s essentially a nuclear attack.  

Let's be clear everyone. A step into this by NATO or US forces and WW3 is on and nuclear weapons are in play. What can be done?

Fire first. 

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is the largest plant in Europe and could be multiple more times worse than Chernobyl if it were to meltdown.

Very dangerous situation, if Russia was trying to provoke the US/NATO to get involved, attacking nuclear power plants would be the way.  Hopefully, they quickly realize their mistake and back off. 

Sounds like the plant and fire is secure/contained.  This was such a dangerous situation it sounds like 915PM phone calls were made across the pond.  Don’t be this stupid Russia, back off.

According to (Google) multiple reports, a top Russian general was killed by a Ukrainian sniper in a crucial blow to the Russian invasion. Major General Andrey Sukhovetsky was the deputy commander of the 41st Combined Arms Army of Russia's Central Military District.

Richard Childress, NASCAR Team owner, has donated 1,000,000 rounds of ammo to Ukraine. 

He is on the Board of Directors of a company called Ammo Inc.

No, Russia decided to attack weeks to months ago.  The 200,000 soldiers are already activated, on top of thousands of civilians.  China asked Russia to wait until after the Olympics.  Usually, when the US warns against something it’s a deterrent.  Not so much this time.  Ukraine isn’t even eligible to join NATO, Russia had no threat against them.  They decided months ago this was the time to attack.

The 200,000 reserves were called up the day the invasion started. Why weren't they called up weeks to months ago? The best deterrent I can think of is Ukraine having twice as many soldiers as Russia ready and waiting for a possible invasion.

Ukraine can’t match them regardless, they are slowly in the process of circling Kyiv with a wall of tanks.  Ukraine had early success due to it being their land.  However, waves 25–100 will be tough to overcome.  Ukraine is a very large country, Russia appears to be going slow and steady now.  The worst bloodshed is still to come, Ukraine will fight to their last soldier.

As I've felt for a while. Time for action.  

I'm sick at this lack of action and I know I'm not the only one. 

For some measured takes on Ukraine v Russia, two expert pundits I look to in traditional and social media - Tom Nichols and Michael McFaul.
