My heart goes out to these kids, again innocent victims of big business. They're born, they exist with no quality of life, and then they die young. And the pain & suffering of grieving parents who have to make the very tough decision as to whether or not take the chance in having another child or to remain childless. A terrible disaster in every sense.

It is too sad to watch and sad how people were affected.

Jews ruled over Slavs in Soviet regime - you can check this everywhere you want. They killed more than 100 millions of Russians - the Chernobyl disaster was probably well planned by them too - the Chernobyl nuclear plant which was under the direct jurisdiction of the central Moscow's authorities.

May God protect you and your children there in Ukraine, Belarus, Russia.
