The *OFFICIAL* Russia Is About To Invade Ukraine Thread

Kiev is far older than Moscow.

Russia did not create Ukraine, Ukraine created Russia.
 
The more I learn about the Kakhovka dam's destruction and the aftermath, the more convinced I am that Ukraine was the party responsible for the dam's breech. I don't want that to be true but I'm becoming more convinced that it is true.

The breech of the dam does little to Ukrainian positions but ruins the Russian trench networks and minefileds south of the river. It destroys Russian forward ammo stores. As the reservoir turns back into a river, it more than doubles the length where a crossing can happen. It also cuts Crimea off from water.

Then you should be relieved. The evidence is that the dam was broken by an internal explosion, not shelling, and Russians were in control of the dam.

Not Kakhovka Dam alone: Russia destroys dams in occupied Zaporizhzhia oblast

While western media largely ‘play safe’ and report that Kyiv and Moscow ‘are blaming each other’ for the horrific disaster, the Russian invaders are actively destroying other dams in occupied parts of Zaporizhzhia oblast

The breech does a lot to slow Ukrainian advances (as opposed to hurting current positions) and kill Ukrainians.

Yes. It was not shelling. Also, the Russians had destroyed the road on the Kherson side of the dam so they could retain control of the dam itself. The explosion that caused the breech of the dam was clearly on the Russian side. All of that is true. It makes it very easy to place blame on the Russians for this act.

Cui bono? The Ukrainians do have the underwater demolitions capability to blow up a Nord-Stream pipeline or to get an explosive device into the hydroelectric inlet pipe. I have underestimated the stupidity of the Russian military actions before so you may be correct, but this hurts Russia a lot more than it hurts Ukraine.
 
The dam break is going to be an ecological disaster for decades to come.

It is a war crime to destroy dams where there is a risk to civilians. I'm pretty sure this was done by the Russians (they controlled the dam and previously announced that they had mined it to prevent the Ukrainians from trying to take it) but I don't care who it was when it comes to holding them accountable for this.

Ya im wondering if the dam is still ok if russia never invades ukraine. Im guessing it would be.
 
I've posted one of this guys videos before and he is one of my regular sources for updates. He is very biased in favor of Ukraine and the U.S. (he's a former U.S. Airforce Missileer officer who worked in Nuclear Missile Silos) but his updates are pretty good and I really enjoy them.

In this one he breaks down in significant detail why he believes Russia is responsible for destroying the dam and, well, it's pretty damning (pun intended).

What a shock that the same dumbass poster who has given Russia the benefit of doubt throughout this war, did it again with this dam. Dude, it was just plain common sense to know who blew the dam. But when your identity is tied up to being contrarian, you’ve gotta keep posting, no matter how stupid or absurd your argument is. Al is about the only person I know who keeps giving Russia this unearned credibility.

I mean, god, just listen to their own propagandists.

But again, I get that it’s your schtick to be a weirdo contrarian and consume garbage media for 23 hrs a day.
