Except the Russians did it.

The reference to Ukraine supposedly considering it when Russia was defending Kherson - except they didn’t and Ukraine captured Kherson so that logic no longer exists.

“Except the Russians did it.”

That statement makes about as much sense as the Russians blowing up their own pipeline. The dam also supplies water to Crimea.

Insane indeed. Desperate attempt to change the focus while the Uber-offensive sputters in its first wave. Media are already in a feeding frenzy like after the NordStream attacks.

OK, how? What weapons, what delivery, how many were used? If Ukraine doesn’t have it and can’t delivery it, they did not destroy the dam. This was far more than a single HIMARS attack.

He just made it up. All the shills are on here pretending to be experts on that dam.

The ZNPP is the key factor here. Zelvis thinks the potential for meltdown will force the UNSC to order the IAEA inspectors into the plant, while somehow blaming Russia and bringing down the wrath of worldwide environmentalists on them.

Maybe that’s his secret plan for instigating the new Russian revolution.

You know exactly nothing about that dam.

As with NordStream, the narrative will eventually change several times and perhaps evolve into something like the “six men in a boat did it” idiocy.

“ Except the Russians did it.…”
********************************

The Ukrainians hold the right bank (that’s the bank to the west of the river for you riparian challenged) and the Russians hold the left bank. The right bank in Kherson (held by the Ukrainians) is ALL HIGH GROUND and NOT SUBJECT TO FLOODING. The left bank of the river there is all HELD BY THE RUSSIANS and is ALL LOW GROUND and is BEING FLOODED. The Russians would not do this to themselves. Only the STUPID and GULLIBLE would believe otherwise…which are you?

I know. Asking the questions means the are asked. How they are either answered or not answered reflects on the sides of the conversation.

Ukraine does not have the weapons or ability to deliver them. Russia has the means to mine the dam and the motive because Russia acts this way.

You have no idea what you’re talking about. We’ll find out what happened, but not from all your breathless pronouncements.

So sick of the Russia shills telling everybody what has to be true and even what has to happen in the future.

Too soon to tell. Could have been StormShadows, lesser artillery shells delivering the coup de grace to structures previously weakened by shelling in the fall, local flash flooding, spy beavers strapped with explosives, etc.

Some of the above are less likely than others. 😛

The good news is that the flooding hasn’t reached catastrophic levels yet and that news outlets desperate for something to report may be exaggerating the scope of this incident. But it bears following closely.

Russia is not the only country, with heavily partisan supporters.

Ukraine has the entire US propaganda apparatus fighting for them.

I am not sure which side to believe.

And I am American.

Russia has a history of mass murdering their own people

IF true it must be an act of desperation on the part of Mr. Z. We shall see. This can not be hidden.
