The problem I have is debilerate or accident.
There is an obvious advantage. Now who.
I am trying to understand the Ukrainian advantage. Their mindless rationality is suicidal. It uses acts of provocation to justify funding and further support, constantly trying to escalate the situation into a much larger conflict. Regardless.
However. There is reasoning. It could be on crossing, the Dniper somewhere. It could've been to sabotage, disrupt, provoke, and confuse. While launching an attack. It could be to affect the Crimea's water. But this is easily routed and still has water systems flowing despite the reservoir now levelling off to the river's water level, expanding the river flooding the run off and rising the river.
Although there is a distinct advantage defensively in wiping out a South Western approach. Kherson has no other point concurrently. It simply provides cover. Until presumably disaster.
There is a long term set back to Odessa's advance and approaches, but let's face it, there is zero chance of that concurrently. Karkiv would be a bigger prize, still ignored. Because it takes far more than a defensive position holding territory. Odessa does secure the coast. But Karkiv the border. Problematic Odessa won't be taken for some time. The odds before that occurring are significantly null. Prior to accession and or truce. Or who knows. Except it is a historic nightmare.
The odds are placing it as Russian damages. But there are more than odds. Factors to consider. Was the substation operational. If so why wasn't the dam repaired since, Ukrainian attacks, last year? Come on, if it was operational there wouldn't be the complete causation of its breach. As it wasn't at much capacity, no real maintenance, releasing the outflow, and generating productivity, the blame further falls on the occupier. It failed to maintain it through suggestive attacks. These could easily cite the rhetoric of terrorism having abundant proof on hand. It was generating output being disrupted.
But it still doesn't rule out sabotage. Why objectively. They're monkeys, okay. No, where is that advantage, outside of acts of bananas? Bananas name calling.
A river is natural geography, expanding it also provides a bigger border. But who knows. There's only irony. I could probably think of far more reasons. Unless you can provide facts of how it serves an opposing advantage?
If you are still interested in breadcrumbs about who is behind dam destruction:
George Soros himself in https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/can-democracy-survive-polycrisis-artificial-intelligence-climate-change-ukraine-war-by-george-soros-2023-06
Soros think that Crimea still completely depend on water from Kakhovka reservoir and cutting of water supply from Dnepr will make Crimea fully dependent on Ukraine will.
It is completely irrelevant if what that bastards believe real or not. Improtant thing is that they believe in their own "reality", and base their actions on that beliefs.
One of their top frontmans just confirmed his masters believe that water supply from Dnepr is crucial for Crimea, so it is reasonable to assume that they have that belief as starting point for their plans and actions.
No. Sorry both sides use propaganda. Both have reasons.
It is finding the reason. Objectively. Not listening to bleeding hearts propaganda. Trust no one.
I am inclined not to believe either objectively.
Last year Kherson was in Russian hands it was moving forward to Odessa or at least the next city above Kherson, some name I don't want to look up, Mykol whatever. That dynamic changed on withdrawal. Russia blew out the connecting bridge on retreat. Where Ukraine then had attacked the dam. Now the bridge is destroyed and so is the dam.
Accurately was the hydro powerstation in use. No, the odds are it wasn't to any degree. Problematical it's war, but no excuse for preventing catastrophe. So it suggests there is probability for Russian causality. Accidentally or not. It was expected because of the known risk.
Currently Ukraine's offensive has gone shit, although there is still fighting in Donetsk and etc. But the press today is reading of lies. They hadn't started their counteroffensive. Nato suggesting its troops might be deployed. Talks of F16s being sent, prior to the supposed months of training. It suggests what? Ukraine are full of bananas.
It is possible they created this incident to gain further support. They do shit like it.
But come on. I'm not getting into banana throwing. It served a purpose. Now who is to blame and why?
If you need a reason, just find out what etnicity populate flooded region. It is a perfectly valid reason for creating such a disaster for those who are indoctrinated or have a dream to exterminate that etnicity and never hid that intention ever.
Yes. Perhaps. But that's not an objective. It's speculation based on opposing propaganda.
Obviously Ukraine is suffering from warfare, and in the process it's partially breaking away from its Russian ancestry, or attempting too.
But to suggest an entire populace is genocided because it plans to replace its ethnic origin is ignorant. Ukraine will still be there no matter any changes by whom and what.
The dam bursting didn't genocide the rest of the Ukraine. It expanded a waterway that was previously dammed. Why? It's not because of joos migrating.
