    Let's see what the President of the European Council has to say.




    Additionally, let's see what the NATO Secretary General has to say.

  2. The voice refers to the shooters as “they”, could be either Russians or Ukrainians. You love pretending that Ukrainians are saints, just like you pretend that men can be women and vice versa.

  3. I don’t know what is worse, you blowing up Nord Stream, supposedly, or Russians blowing up Kherson Dam, supposedly.

    Timeline of Russian excuses regarding their destruction of the Kakvovka dam as they realized what occurred. Actions have consequences.

  8. I have not been able to make the rounds and read-up at this time of day, BUT, where we at with this dam blown up in Kherson?

    Consensus opinion seems to be that the Ruskies did it but I have not formed an opinion.

    BUT DOESN'T THAT CUT OFF THE FRIGGING WATER SUPPLY TO A GOOD PART OF CRIMEA?

    The dam was under control of Russians. Dams are built extremely robustly (obviously) and this one was built in 1950, when Soviets built with an enormous margin of safety. The only way to destroy it was to mine it with a huge explosive charge (it showed up on seismographs when it blew). And even then it had to be placed in a well calculated spot. Ukrainians physically could not do it.

    And yes, it does cut off water to Crimea. But short term it makes it more difficult for Ukrainians to cross the river. That was the effect they were going for.
