This whole proxy war has been a lie from the beginning.
Very strange war.
Imagine London in 1940: bombers fly over the city and rain down destruction. Some blame the German Luftwaffe. Hitler denies this and says that the RAF is bombing London. There’s just no way to tell.
Did Russia blow up it’s pipeline? Or was it Ukraine? Did Russia blow up this dam? Or was it Ukraine?
If you can’t tell which side is blowing stuff up, then you’re watching a pretty odd war. In past wars, it’s been pretty obvious who is doing what to whom.
Seems about as logical as inventing a spike protein viral bioweapon and attacking one’s own citizens with it, and as illogical as inventing a fake “vaccine” full of experimental damaging spike proteins, and requiring citizens, even low risk children, to take it.
Russia did not blow up the pipeline or the dam, Ukraine.
His whole facial affect looks like he’s puckering up to suck ...something. The eyes give it away- wasn’t much of an admiral either.
So you assert that Russian Army security at the dam was so lame that they allowed Ukrainian engineers to place a few tons of charges to blow the dam? Right under their noses?
Okay.

This video features:
1. A Russian soldier claiming credit for Russia blowing the dam
2. Prigozhin several times referring to Russia as the “USSR”
Care to disavow either one?
If a country wants to flood a downstream area, it can simply open the dam it controls, instead of destroying it. Just like it can close a pipeline instead of destroying it.
It seems very logical.
It’s been clear from the beginning that Ukraine was going to cut off water to Crimea. By blowing the dam Russia cuts off water to Crimea - which would have happened anyway - and to much of Ukraine.
And it delays any attack across the river for a month or more. It’s clear that Ukraine was threatening a river crossing. Blowing the dam eliminated that.
Kirby never told the truth in his life.
“Does it seem believable to you that Russia would destroy a dam and flood ethnic Russian villages, and cut off a water supply to Crimea? I mean, that doesn’t seem logical.”
It’s a much more logical proposition when you include the information that the flooded area was the focus of one successful Ukrainian counterattack last fall, and one of the likely targets for the new counteroffensive.

Some reliable source of information. The Biden Administration is filled with assclowns and freaks.
The neoconneds on this thread are spinning like tops! They're gonna get the high-speed wobs.
What Zaporizhzia doink?
Western mainstream media:
The Russians blew up their own NordStream pipeline.
The Kremlin ordered a drone strike on the Kremlin.
Russia blew up the Nova Kakhovka dam to destroy the defences they had spent over half a year building and deny water supplies to Crimea.
Russia uses a very heavy hand with its rockets and artillery approach to war.
Could it have been Ukrainians? Yes, but I would wager Russians or Wagner's or others were definitely involved and their goals were short term associated with destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure and agriculture.
If Russia is not careful, they will give Crimea to Ukraine. Actually, if the water dries up, the Crimean agriculture fails, and the bridge from Russia is destroyed even more, the people of Crimea will have to leave or starve.
“It seems about as logical as blowing up one’s own pipeline, doesn’t it?”
Big deal. Our turd president has essentially blown up all our pipelines and other energy resources.
