Russia Holds West Responsible for Dam Disaster

This was an unthinkable crime and it is ostensibly a crime against their own country.

I mean, the Ukraine is claiming they have a right to all of these Russian territories, because “nation” is no longer a part of “nation-state,” so they are, according to their own beliefs, flooding their own people, risking the meltdown of their own nuclear reactor, denying their own people water.

The reddit faggots on Twitter say that these territories are the Ukraine, but they also celebrate when they are attacked and civilians are harmed, because those civilians – who they claim are Ukrainian – are a Russian enemy also.

RT:

Ukraine destroyed the Kakhovka dam in an “unthinkable crime” intended to harm Crimea for choosing Russia in 2014, Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, told the Security Council on Tuesday.

The Russian diplomat brought up US media reports documenting Ukrainian attacks on the Kakhovka dam in December 2022, using US-supplied HIMARS rockets.

Feeling its total impunity and being encouraged by Western sponsors, the Kiev regime decided to carry out this terrorist plot this time,” Nebenzia claimed. He noted that the Ukrainians had significantly increased the discharge of water from the Dnepropetrovsk hydroelectric power station, leading to even greater flooding downstream, “which indicates that this sabotage was planned in advance.”

The “terrorist act” was intended to free up Ukrainian forces for the “counteroffensive” currently getting bogged down in Zaporozhye, while inflicting massive humanitarian damage on the population of Kherson Region, Nebenzia insisted.

Not only did the flood render a dozen towns along the Dnieper River uninhabitable, it has also reduced water levels in the North Crimea canal, which supplies water to the Russian peninsula. Ukraine had shut off the canal after Crimea voted to rejoin Russia in a 2014 referendum. It was only reopened last year, when Russian troops took control of the area.

According to Nebenzia, Kiev “once again decided to take revenge on the Crimeans for their choice in favor of Russia and leave the population of Crimea without water.”

Nebenzia called the claims by Ukrainian, US and EU officials that Russia was responsible for the dam’s destruction a “well-coordinated disinformation campaign,” in the same vein as previous allegations that Moscow was behind the shelling of its own people at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, or the destruction of the Nord Stream gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea.

This is too big of a disaster for the West to run with the “Russia is bombing itself again!” narrative.

Probably. 

But maybe not.

I don’t know what they’re going to do. I guess they’ll probably just keep it quiet in the Western media, then claim it was rogue actors, while also vaguely suggesting that maybe Russia did it to themselves as some kind of 5D chess move.

These people are wackos.

But they can afford to be full-wacko, because the American population is so stupid they will believe literally anything, or just totally ignore things that are not headline news.

Right now, the dam is headline news in the West.

Most of the media is not outright blaming Russia, because they know that is too dumb. But they’re also not blaming the Ukraine.

The worst I’ve seen is over at The Telegraph, following an NBC report:

The US government has intelligence leaning towards blaming Russia for the destruction of a massive dam in Ukraine, NBC News reported on Tuesday.

The Biden administration is working to declassify some of the intelligence, the US network said.

However, in a White House briefing, spokesperson John Kirby appeared to refute those claims, saying Washington could not say “conclusively” who was responsible.

James Cleverly, the Foreign Secretary, has denounced the destruction of the Kakhovka dam as a “war crime” as thousands fled the region.

Mr Cleverly also hinted Russia was behind the “abhorrent act”, saying: “Intentionally attacking exclusively civilian infrastructure is a war crime.”

Ukraine on Tuesday said Russian forces were shelling civilians as they fled the surging waters in Kherson city.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

They blew up their own dam then started shelling their own people as they fled!

Just how evil are these bastards???

They’re in the middle of a war and they’re focusing on bombing their own infrastructure and murdering their own civilians!

I can understand how the Ukraine can print this psycho shit – they have total control of all media; the population is basically in a Skinner Box.

But it is always jarring to see Western media report these Kiev press statements.

Like, imagine it.

Putin is sitting in a room with his commissars.

“What is the next move, dear leader?”

“We will… blow up our own dam.”

“Our own dam, dear leader?”

“Yes… and then, when the people try to flee… that’s when we will gun them down.”

“Dear leader, may I ask how this will help our war effort?”

“Ah, my boy. Don’t you understand? The purpose of the war… is pure evil. What is more evil than blowing up your own infrastructure and then killing your own people for no reason?”

“I can’t think of anything more evil than that, dear leader.”

“Precisely.”

“Okay, dear leader. As you wish. We will go ahead and blow up our own dam.”
