I think it's a dumb suggestion either way, but I am just wondering what they are actually saying. The former is dumb because no country would want to irradiate their own land, occupied or not. The latter is dumb because Ukraine is holding their own and would lose a lot of goodwill if they did it, even in Russia where Ukrainian sympathizers could play an important role in a future regime change.

There is literally no strategic purpose to do it.
The Russian maps that were being thrown around showed a radioactive cloud over the Zaporizhzhia region with winds blowing entirely westward into Europe. It is an incredibly dumb attempt to try to scare EU out of supporting Ukraine. Every foreign minister that Shoigu talked to basically laughed at him. These bozos think that they are smart and can fool the rest of the world with their domestic propaganda. Its not working.

Some of the propaganda Russian's are putting out domestically are absolute nuts these days. Like the ones where they are calling for the "desatanization" of the Ukrainian people. Apparently news made it back home there were no Nazis in Ukraine and they had to make something else up.
