Destruction of Dam in Ukraine Will Have Long-Term Effects Similar to Chernobyl, Expert Warns

[Father Heathen]

Despite this, along with the countless other war crimes (especially against children), you still have people crawling on their bellies to lick Putin's boots while pretending that NATO is COBRA.
It's pathetic.

Ideology perhaps but not religion.

Well, here is a scholarly definition of that one:
"Religion is the most intensive and comprehensive method of valuing that is experienced by humankind."

You do that too with your value system. So do I.
You just do it with variance due to how you have are a product of nature and nurture. But so do I. I just know that it is so for us both.

Oh I think it will get worse. No doubt about it unfortunately.

But it can get worse, if we start treating them as all bad. The only good Russian is a dead Russian, because they have the wrong beliefs, right?!!

Well, yes. But they are still humans.

Now you are being silly.

Yeah, I do hope that. I honestly do. But I wouldn't bet on it.

The UN and an environmental safety expert have warned about disastrous consequences from the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam in Ukraine:





Further context on the situation:

Putin suffers loss of 261 troops in 24 hours as Kyiv offensive gains momentum - live

Ukraine makes gains in south, top commander says

Putin's forces are killing innocent people, committing war crimes, and destroying Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. For what? Imperialist and egotistical ambitions. Any claims that Putin's regime waged this war to "fight Nazism in Ukraine" go out of the window the moment something like this dam attack and its effects on civilians come to the fore. It's quite clear that this is an imperialist war unfazed by any ethical, legal, or diplomatic concerns.

One of my most deeply held convictions is that imperialism is a plague on humanity. It always has been and still is.

Also, something like 25% of Ukraine's agriculture rely on water diverted from the reservoirs that are now empty. This will impact their exports in order to maintain their own needs.

This has become a war of attrition. Sooner or later, they're going to have to make a decision to end the fighting, reach a settlement - or go on fighting to the very last man. Either way it goes - win, lose, or draw - there will remain tremendous devastation.

In the news: in addition to the flooding and its catastrophic consequences, now there are around 700,000 people in need of drinking water:

Ukraine war latest: Ukraine keeping close eye on Belarus border as troops amass

Russia has launched several air attacks on Ukraine this week, costing Moscow a reported £1.1bn. Meanwhile, Ukraine says it's keeping a close eye on its border with Belarus after a build-up of troops there in recent days.

Are those 700,000 people "Nazis" too? What excuse will imperialist apologists come up with this time?

No doubt Putin is a war criminal but what purpose would it serve the Russians to bomb a damn in an area they have taken control of? Russia was initially accused of bombing their own pipeline until investigations provided evidence to the contrary, now this. Bear in mind that the first casualty of war is the truth.

There has been no proof as to the pipeline, and it's quite possible the Russians just made a mistake as to destroying the dam. Why on earth would Ukraine do this?

PS And a Russian ship was located as being in the vicinity of the pipelines - so is this as much proof as the Ukrainians apparently having a plan to blow them up?

Destroying a dam harms Ukraine's economy, infrastructure, homes, businesses, & war effort.
Let's ask ourselves....who would benefit from weakening Ukraine as it kick's Russia's butt?
