I just returned from reddit’s front page because I had nothing better to do, saw post in r/pics and decided to check the comments… it was a mistake
People cannot just think straight, right? They will believe every fucking piece of information they see, I presume.
This tragedy is FULLY BENEFICIAL TO UKRAINE, IT first and foremost DAMAGES RUSSIAN LINE OF DEFENCE AND BARELY TOUCHES UKRAINE’S. That’s because right side of the river is much higher than the left side, so destroying the dam is just a shot in the foot for Russia.
You can see it on the map, you hear it from the officials, you can hear it from UKRAINE that: “they knew all along” and it won’t affect their plans. HOW CONVENIENT!
And all of that is not even considering that Ukraine has shelled this dam since Russia took it over (almost a year). You can see on the screenshot how many times dam and Novokakhovskaya Hydroelectric power plant were discussed in local Telegram channel and I swear, 70% of all of these posts are reports of bombings, explosions etc, they even have videos of it.

Kremia now has shortage of water because of that: “The fact is that if they blow up the Kakhovka dam, then the issue of supplying water to Crimea will be closed once and for all. It will be impossible to restore it in the next 5-7 years.” (21.10.2022)

here’s an interesting quote from Natalya Gumenyuk, press secretary of Operational Command “South”: “The maximum that Russia can do is only slow down the Ukrainian military. But it will be a critical scenario.” (24.10.2022)
But no, after all of that fucking information, people and their fucking rotten brains will still blame Russia for everything because #RUSSIAISATERRORISTSTATE
give me a fucking break
By the way, my first post on the platform! Since reddit is going to shit with this API thing going on, I decided to look for communities elsewhere. Really enjoying experience here.
Welcome! Glad you’re having a good time 😁
Can I just point out that 7 hours after the attack an infographic was made about it, posted on telegram, shared on r/europe and it was top of r/all in 3-4 hours. But nooo, there’s no propoganda in the west, and the guys that have been committing false flags since before the term was coined can’t have done this.
Another “fun” fact for the fine comrades. There’s an area near the dam, Aleshky sands. It was an area heavily deforested and abused in XIX century by those “innocent, hard working industrialists” in Russian Empire. Essentially, it was turned into a desert. The locals had tried to offset the erosion by planting trees, but with little success. The “ebil Bolsheviks” had made the tree planting systemic, and also created a system for watering it.
Except all of it depended on the Kahovka dam.
With the water flow interrupted, the irrigation won’t be able to support the plants, and the desert will reclaim the region. To put it into perspective, here’s a map.
Red is the projected desertification area.
So much for Ukraine being the “breadbasket of the world.” Not that it ever actually was, and not that that wasn’t a neo-colonial construct anyway.
