Russian invasion of Ukraine discussion

[Diamondback]

There was a mindset that started with Stakin that goes;
"Unless your taking astronomical casualties, your not achieving shit." A logical winning plan will get you nowhere you insubodinate bastard.

He probably woulda considered it a GREAT success if we'd taken the leash off the B-52 force and let them turn most of Russia's cities into giant Pyrex bowls, then...

The more I read here and there, the more this sounds like 1914 Balkans. The bullet proof idiots then sound exactly the same as they do now. Weak men make for bad times.

Russia's military falsely claimed to have shredded a Leopard tank. It looks more like abandoned farm equipment.

So what did Russia destroy? We're not sure yet, but the Russian video offers clues. Fields, rounded elements at the vehicle's low corners. Maybe an abandoned tractor or combine with a lowered ladder, another victory in Russia's war against Ukrainian wheat?

Russia blows up Kakhovka dam, blowing a dam like this is classed as using a weapon of mass destruction under the Geneva Convention. Also since this was where Crimea got most of it's water a pretty clear sign they don't think they will keep Crimea.

Tucker Carlson unveiled Episode 1 of his 'Tucker on Twitter' adventure - which gained 10 million views in just over two hours - and the topic du jour is simple; government propaganda and the lying liars that spew it.

His jumping off point is the bombing of the Kakhova dam... by Putin himself, if you believe the western media because 'he is evil and evil people do evil things... even to themselves' (despite the detailed explanation below of why that is simply farcical).

By way of background, and helping explain why it absolutely, positively, without doubt must have been Putin that blew up the dam </sarc> Antiwar.com's Kyle Anzalone notes that the dam was built by the USSR during the 1950s and, for over a year, has sat on the frontlines of the war in Ukraine. It is nearly 100 feet tall and over 10,000 feet wide. The dam was constructed as a hydroelectric power plant and created the Kakhovka Reservoir, which is over 2,000 sq km. Europe’s largest nuclear power plant – the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) and the Crimean Peninsula receive water from the reservoir.

The attack on the dam will impact a core Russian concern in Ukraine. Through the 250-mile-long Northern Crimean Canal, the Kakhovka Reservoir feeds water to the peninsula that Moscow annexed in 2014. Before the invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin regularly issued demands to Kiev that irrigation systems supplying water to Crimea remain open.

But you should believe it was Putin, as Carlson explains:

"You've got to be lied to over a period of years to reach conclusions like that...and of course, we have been..."

Carlson then took the media to task for ignoring...

Tucker was talking about YOU Bob.

So if the Ukrainians stated last year they had plans to blow up the dam and they even fired a test missile at it.

The blowing up of the dam disrupts Russian attacks and deprives the Russian civilians in Crimea water, which means no crops will be grown.

Then of course Russia blew up the dam. We also are supposed to ignore that Zelensky has pocked $1.2 billion of our money in the last year.

I know many here will say Yoni is pro Putin. They would be wrong.

I feel about this war as I did about the Iran Iraq war, good luck to both of you.

What I do care about is the long term money laundering for American politicians of both parties of American taxpayers money in Ukraine.

It is time the American people woke up and put an end to the direct both parties are taking the USA.

Tucker is a liar who’s lies cost Fox News 3/4 a billion dollars…

Tucker Carlson ousted at Fox News following network's $787 million settlement

https://www.npr.org/2023/04/24/11716...llion-settleme

The ouster of Fox's top opinion host comes less than a week after Fox settled an epic defamation lawsuit by an election technology company for more than $787 million. Dominion Voting Systems sued over segments promoting bogus claims that election fraud cheated then-President Donald Trump of victory in 2020.

I wanted to just reply "Yup", but that is too short of a message, so...Yup.

The part of the dam that was destroyed has been under Russian control for over a year, there was no missile strike so exactly how did Ukraine manage to blow it up? This is a major disaster for all of Southern Ukraine why would they do it to themselves, this stinks to high heaven of Russkies.
