U.S. Official Says Spy Satellites Detected Explosion Just Before Dam Collapse

[Timber Rattler]

Russian inside job...naturally.

[grobdriver]

An external detonation by a bomb or missile would exert only a fraction of its force against the dam, and would require an explosive many times larger to achieve a similar effect.

Unless a penetrating head, bunker-buster style.

[Bonemaker]

They probably have facial recognition of who did it.

[Delta 21]

Video of the explosion.

LOL!

"Eric Schmitt", writing for the rag that got a Pulitzer for its creative writing on the Ukraine last century.

[GingisK]

An explosive tamped by water will work just fine. It only has to make a crack.

[frogjerk]

Just remember, which ever side you are on in this conflict, don’t believe a word the US Intelligence community says.

[blackdog]

“Well, son of a bitch”

[GingisK]

It would have been more useful for it to have spotted the dweebs laying the charges in time to send a team to root them out.

[SpaceBar]

The tape rewind mechanism is jammed.

[bigbob]

Uke’s blew it up

[kiryandil]

Just remember, which ever side you are on in this conflict, don’t believe a word the US Intelligence community says.

Yeah, but it was an ANONYMOUS US official, so that makes it even more true.

Eric Schmitt's creative Ukraine writing has got to be The Straight Dope, because he hasn't been arrested by the Ukraine's SBU, nor has he been put on the Myrotvorets death list that is maintained by the Ukies, for journalists who don't carry the zElensky regime's water.

[Seruzawa]

So a satellite has told us what everyone knew already. Awesome.

[dforest]

Oh come on, they couldn’t show you that because you would know the truth. Blame and no facts is how US intel and RAT leftists operate.

[Leaning Right]

> Just remember, which ever side you are on in this conflict, don’t believe a word the US Intelligence community says.

George Carlin agrees.

[proust]

Mind blown. It took an explosion to take down a dam.

[USA-FRANCE]

“An external detonation by a bomb or missile would exert only a fraction of its force against the dam, and would require an explosive many times larger to achieve a similar effect.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>

This means that the DAM that has now been in full control by the Russian army for about year - have been super-heavy mined from the inside.
Russians control the dam, they are responsible for it, they blew it up.

Russia already blew up a huge damn in Ukraine in 1941 under the orders of Stalin. Putin is following Stalins footsteps very precisely. What Russia did before, they do again.

The deep-state Kremlin caviar eating jet-set people, led by Putin, will auto destruct by their own hubris and greed, it’s just a question of time.

[kiryandil]

Russians control the dam, they are responsible for it, they blew it up.

Same Russian team that blew up Nordstrom's.

[rollo tomasi]

Who the heck cares what is going on in Eastern Europe. NATO are idiots running tanks into minefields btw, why support that stupidity which wasted billions in one day. Pour another 30 billion or so without blinking an eye with our debt/currency debasement/inflation. Anything regarding that crap should be considered useless propaganda (Including OPs worthless crap).

Right now in our backyard there are totalitarians usurping liberty and jailing Presidential candidates because the powers that be are exploiting certain angles that have been ignored since WWII ended. We should be completely focused on that rather than some defense contractors with ESG up the ying-yang getting wealthier by the second.

Screw Zelinskky the bi-sexual deviant and Putin the degrading oligarch, not our problem. We have pressing issues within the home front that is more important as the hours go by.

dang...just like them Rooskies...blewd up their own pipeline too ...or so I hear...
