You do realize that you have convinced no one of your premise right?

Why on God’s Green Earth would Putin blow up a damn that would not only flood the pro-Russian Kherson region, but cut off 90% of the water to the Crimea…which is under Russian control, flood 80 towns and hamlets that are mostly pro-Russia, and cut off water supply to the very nuclear reactor that Russia has control of?

All this knowing that the West would blame them anyway for the blowing of the dam.

There is no logic in your premise.

Those of us who can still reason, reject you and your ridiculous propaganda.

Have a nice day.

Oh my! Please don't ask him "Why?" Now we'll have to "listen" to another whole page of the same ol' same ol'.

Do you get extra points for posting the same link over and over again? Is that similar to your repeated lines and nicknames for Putin? Lol, leave the nick-naming to your daddy Trump because you suck at it. NATO = Nazi Arming and Training Organization

No Special Ted. I'm trying to help people to learn just a little about the area and recent history.

45 is not my daddy. Stay Special, Ted.

Tim Snyder's substack column published today is illuminating and useful for those who are interested in reality not domestic political posturing:

The ONLY one I see doing political posturing is the one claiming to be educating. Now what does THAT remind me of - oh yeah.

Thanks Left Boob, but the only 'Mr' horse was named Ed. You are spouting out of the 'other' end, I'm just glad I have my boots on already. I have no doubt you smell the part, though.

You should refrain from stupid personal attacks. Stay Special, Ted.

I don't take orders or even advice from 'furries,' but bless your heart for trying. Maybe you should get a prescription for 'Growacet' and make me refrain. Your arrogant attitude and ignorant comments here make you fair game, my four-legged friend. Don't like that? Haha, good!

Please don't continue your line of personal attacks and associate me with any less than noble 🐴

If you want to learn about Putin's bosses and the Soviet manmade famine by Putin's hero Stalin, read Robert Conquest's seminal work on the genocide, "Harvest of Sorrow."

Well, you might ought to take your own advice. But then again, I've always ignored your personal comments as irrelevant. You know, sticks and stones and that kind of thing. Besides, I try to follow the rule not to antagonize children. But sometimes I just can't help myself.

The Kherson region is not "pro-Russian" sir. It's Ukraine and those are tens of thousands of Ukraine's citizens there who are not served by Putin's latest war crime and act of desperation.

Putin put weapons atop the buildings of Ukraine's nuclear power plant. I bet you didn't know that either.

You don't see the logic because you are blinded by the reality on the ground and actual logic. You don't see Putin's war crimes for what they are but I can assure you that the people of Ukraine absolutely do. It's nothing new from Putin.

Most of the civilized world will see this latest Putin war crime for what it is. He's now isolated worse than Hitler in his last Berlin days. (ChiComs send tech chips but not major arms and the drones from the Mullahs are being all shot down.) I won't bore with that analysis because you don't seem able to accept Putin's war crimes and how they fit together.

Putin destroyed the dam as the counteroffensive was mounting. He's being forced to pull back troops and they've been hit behind the lines in the most destructive action by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in recent days. I'd guess you have no clarity on any of that either. Not your fault. Mr. Childers certainly hasn't said a word about it in recent days other than to mock the upcoming 2023 counteroffensive.
