Interesting timing on the part of the Post to drop this story - which they've surely had for a while - on the same day the dam is destroyed. |
If anything, Ukraine blew the dam to cover their loses of the last few days. Ukraine has lost hundreds of armor and thousands of troops in the last few days, including western tanks like the AMX-10RC. They also looked like conscripts driving around in random directions in equipment they are unfamiliar with. No way Russia floods their own defensive positions and cuts off Crimean water for that. |
Sure. Keep thinking that if it makes you feel better. The rest of us, meanwhile, live in the real world. |
^^^ Russian disinfo bot. No, Ukraine did not "lose hundreds of armor and thousands of troops in the last few days." |
Yes the Ukrainians drive back the Russians forces holding the dam, blow it up and allowed the Russians to retake the area. the moon is made of cheese!
|
I guess you'll believe it too when "Russia" starts attacking the Kerch bridge. |
Then why is Russia blowing up a tractor and proudly proclaiming it's a Leopard tank? You'd think they'd have better propaganda material. |
One side does propaganda better than the other, I agree with you there. Russia is almost comically bad on that front. They are doing much better than on other fronts though. |
Pushing people out of windows and provoking heart attacks? Yes. Military competency, propaganda, care for veterans and families of deceased soldiers? No. They create battalions to shoot their own frontline soldiers if they leave their post, so that tells you exactly who they are. |
No you people are doing bad on all fronts. Keeping give more arms and personnel to Prigozhin's private militia. You do not need Putin if you have Prigozhin with a private army. |
LOL you live in a real world where you believe two Ukrainians in a kayak blew up a major undersea pipeline and their own government knew nothing about it. Sure. |
Just a reminder that a very detailed explanation of what went down was out since February: https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the-nord-stream We'll probably have to wait another 6 months or so for Hersh or someone like him to reveal the details of the dam. |
Russia mined the dam last October. Russia did this to try to slow the counter offensive. It is obvious the Russians caused this massive disaster. |
Even Prigozhin says that those claims are lies. "I think that Baron Munchausen is resting. And judging by what is written here, we will soon get to the aliens - with such losses. To destroy one and a half thousand people, it must be such a massacre, per day, over 150 kilometers, that mother do not grieve. Therefore, I think that this is just from the realm of wild, sloppy fantasy. In general, you need to add up all the numbers that Konashenkov gives. I think that we have just destroyed the entire planet Earth five times.” |

The most obvious explanation is that this old Soviet dam was weakened by months of bilateral shelling.
But why do that when conspiracy theories are much more appealing? And with things underwater, you can count on truth never coming out. Was it mined from within or shelled from the air? It's unknowable. |
