Dam in Russia-Occupied Ukraine Blown Up, Flooding Russian Territory; CIA Leaks a New "Theory:" Gee, Maybe the Russians Didn't Blow Up Their Own Pipeline. It Must Have Been the Ukraine All Along.

Biden is going to blow this country up, and the Laptop Class will applaud the millions killed. Less carbon dioxide, you know.

And think about all the Rethuglikkan MAGAts who'll be killed in a US-Russia nuclear exchange!

A dam in occupied Ukraine territory was blown up. Ukraine's president says the Russians blew it up themselves. Russia says the Urkainians did it.

Is there any reason Ukraine would have for blowing it up? Well, their counter-offensive to drive Russia out of occupied parts of Ukraine failed, so they'd have an interest in drowning the region, both to inflict pain on Russia, and impede the movements of Russian troops through Ukraine.

Zero Hedge:

A day after Ukraine's much-heralded counter-offensive appears to have failed, almost before it had even begun, a major dam in the Russian-occupied region of Kherson is suddenly bombed, prompting mass evacuations as floods spread across the region.

In fact, Ukraine previously wargamed demolishing the dam:

First the Russians blew up their own pipeline, now they're blowing up their own dams. (Or dams in the regions they control.)

Is there no end to their sinister machinations?

BREAKING:

Russia just blew up the Kakhovka dam (same size as the Hoover dam.)

The water from the Kakhovka reservoir is flowing toward the city of Kherson.

Thousands of people risk drowning and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is at risk.

REPORTER: "Does it seem believable to you that Russia would destroy a dam and flood ethnic Russian villages...? It seems about as logical as blowing up one's own pipeline, doesn't it?"

Kirby says no, the US won't be declassifying our intelligence on this so that the American public can decide for themselves.

I have no idea, except I'm pretty sure whatever the US government is saying is a lie:

Kim Dotcom
@KimDotcom
US intelligence points to Russia being behind the dam attack. The same people who told you that Russia got Trump elected, Russia blew up NordStream, that the US proxy war in Ukraine was unprovoked Russian aggression and that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation

So the claim that the Russians blew up their own pipeline was never very believable and few still believe it.

So the US needs what Nixon termed a "modified limited hang-out," a new cover story that doesn't admit the truth but steps back from the most undefensible parts of the old lie.

The new story? Oh okay, maybe Russia didn't blow up their own pipeline, but it wasn't us.

It was Ukraine.

Here's the new CIA lie we're all ordered to repeat:

A European spy agency told the CIA it knew of a Ukraine special operations team plan to blow up the Nord Stream gas pipeline three months before explosions damaged the undersea system last year, the Washington Post reported Tuesday.
The newspaper cited US intelligence allegedly leaked earlier this year by a low-level US Air National Guard computer technician who had access to large amounts of highly classified materials.
The leaked documents indicated that an unnamed European intelligence body told the US spy agency in June 2022, four months after Russia invaded Ukraine, that Ukraine military divers reporting directly to the country's military commander-in-chief were planning the attack.
The Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, built to carry natural gas from Russia to Germany, were rocked by underwater explosions on September 26, rendering them useless and cutting off a potential source of billions of dollars in earnings for Russia.
The apparent sabotage sparked a region-wide emergency as it cut off crucial supplies of energy for Europe just as the war had sent the price of oil skyrocketing.
Accusations were made against several countries including Russia, the United States and Ukraine, but all denied responsibility.
The Post, citing unnamed officials, said that after the Central Intelligence Agency learned of the alleged bombing plot, the United States told allies including Germany about it.

Fuck off, you lying miserable incompetents.

CIA: "Six Ukrainian dudes did it"

Jordan Schachtel
@JordanSchachtel
I am truly amazed by the Ukrainian Navy's ability to sail undetected for 10k miles roundtrip & blow up the Nord Stream pipeline with their Navy Seals! I trust Washington Post & CIA, which assures me that this is totally plausible, despite Ukraine not having a functioning Navy.

Jordan Schaechtel posted a map, showing how ludicrous this was: Ukraine has no North Sea port. It doesn't operate in the North Sea. It barely has a navy at all and what little navy it has operates in the Black Sea.

Here's the path of this hypothetical Ukrainian Super-Secret SEAL Team Alpha Kaboom:

Biden: “I will destroy Nordstream 2”

Nordstream 2: *gets blown up*

DailyMail: “we have exclusive report showing Biden blew up Nordstream”

People: Pretty sure Biden blew up Nordstream

Media: “Ukraine blew up Nordstream”

13 Eh, Zach is run by people with links to the Russian intelligence services. Keep that in mind. Now from a military strategy standpoint it makes sense for the Uke's to do it. The high water wipes out some of the lower regions where the Russians either have or will need to move their forces. It also cuts off a lot of fresh water to Crimea and that area. Conversely, the Russians had that dam wired for some time now. That's verifiable. Ask yourself- why would they do that?

In the end, it's a coin toss. But it can also be seen as a desperate move by someone- and that's no bueno.

There is a bomb on a Ukrainian dam. If it explodes thousands of people will drown, millions in property damage will occur, and the international conflict will worsen to the point where WWIII is a distinct possibility.

The only way to disarm the bomb is to acknowledge that the United States blew up the Nord pipeline or was directly involved in the sabotage.

The Kakhovka Dam appears to be gone. This is going to have far-reaching consequences for weeks and months to come.

Here are some very early thoughts.

First, a little background on what had been going on. Water levels plummeted in February and then surged in May to record highs.

I think this is because Russia was not managing the dam. They left some sluice gates open on their side, which caused water levels to drop at the start of winter...

But after the spring rains, the gates weren't letting enough water through...

In early May, water levels were so high, that it started to overtop the dam. That means water was actually flowing over the sluicegates.

The dam had already been damaged in two previous incidents.
❌ A possible Ukrainian strike in late Oct/Early Nov.
❌ A likely Russian explosive charge that blew up part of the roadway over the dam on 11 Nov.
(Sources: Reuters)

The dam was already under enormous strain and damaged.

Then things got worse. On 2 June, it looks like a road over the dam failed. That could be indicative of a larger structural failure.

(Although, I have felt since the summer that Ukraine is in this for the grift, like the use DIC, and so the war will never end, never progress.)

2. It is way too premature to say the Ukrainians blew the dam. Also seems unlikely.

3. If UKR blew the pipeline, they did it with Polish help. Does anyone think Poland would not help?

4. Biden is an idiot. He also said he would beat up MAGA supporters and shoot through the front door of his house. He has achieved perfect incredibility.

71 Just a note: Russia controlled the Nova Kakhovka dam, and its a massive dam.

Its not going to be blown up by commandos using satchel bombs.

The controls are all on the left bank, which the russians control. The explosives needed would take days or weeks to install. So probably the Russians did this defensively.

The dam had already been damaged in two previous incidents.
❌ A possible Ukrainian strike in late Oct/Early Nov.
❌ A likely Russian explosive charge that blew up part of the roadway over the dam on 11 Nov.
(Sources: Reuters)

The dam was already under enormous strain and damaged.

Then things got worse. On 2 June, it looks like a road over the dam failed. That could be indicative of a larger structural failure.

95 The odds have been great all along that the psychopathic incompetents would provoke a nuclear war. Those odds continue to mount each day that the retarded D.C. sociopaths murder by proxy both Ukrainians and Russians. But, as Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reportedly has said, falling to one's knees to sing spirituals for ol' massa Ray-Fe-On pays well and what do you expect: the degraded and debased United States military to be more competent in a proxy war than it was in losing and surrendering in every war in distant memory?

This will continue unless it threatens the 2024 elections enough so that even more overt fortification is required. Or nukes fly.

Incidentally, the EU forced the USA to fall to its knees and suck Chinese cock as a precondition of the G-7 meeting, a little factoid that has flown under the radar, which like everything else in modern America probably doesn't work.

We weren't financing the labs for decades for Ukraine to futz around. They didn't necessarily exist to deploy against Russia, but we do our bioweapons research in other poorer countries generally.

All bioweapons would be dangerous to use. That's why it's a retarded use of funding. They're indiscriminate.

Posted by: Anti-Faucist

Things have changed a lot since summer.

Why would Ukraine do it?
- They are losing and when losing throw dirt in the air.
- kill Crimean water source
- lessen defenses needed in West so concentrate on wherever.

Why would Russia do it
- Create havoc to strain UKR ability to attack
- Remove one avenue of attack, so able to concentrate defenses.
- move UKR forces back a bit from Crimea and supply routes.

Why would Nature do it.
- Seems unlikely since past damage was to roadway and this is full on blowed up.

The labs were definitely there and billions of US tax dollars were spent funding them.

176 It's interesting that the Washington Post is starting to run articles blaming the Nordstream bombings on the Ukrainians, and blaming the drone attack on the Kremlin on the Ukrainians.

A couple of weeks ago, Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukrainian military intelligence, said three interesting things:

First, that he considered any Russian anywhere on Earth to be a legitimate military target;

Second, that if the EU reduced aid to Ukraine, that terrorist attacks would start in Western Europe. He didn't say who would be doing the terrorist attacks.

And;

Third, he talked about mass executions among the current Crimean population when Ukraine took Crimea back.

It is possible that the American intelligence establishment is worried that the Ukrainians may go completely off the rails, and are trying to warn the Ukrainians off before the car bombings start in Budapest.

BTW, both in appearance and demeanor, Budanov would make an excellent Bond villain.

>>The younger Biden bragged to investors that his company organized funding for Metabiota and helped it “get new customers” including “government agencies,” according to e-mails.

>>B&V had been commissioned in 2010 by the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency to build a lab in Odessa, to “enhance the government’s existing surveillance systems to detect, report and respond to bioterrorism attacks, epidemics and potential pandemics,” the company’s website said.

207 It's nigh impossible to do this via shelling - and apparently it happened via a single blast - not a coordinated shelling campaign. So now we're saying Russia is so incompetent that it allowed Ukrainian demolitionists to smuggle hundreds of pounds of explosives into a dam controlled by Russia? I'm skeptical. Furthermore, the areas flooded on the Russian side of the river - those fortifications were abandoned months ago as they were at a disadvantageous position vis-a-vis the Ukrainian side that had higher elevation. Thats all that was damaged on the Russian side. Crimea supposedly has two years of water supply stored up so they don't need the dam to be repaired/replaced anytime soon. This also makes a 90km long area of the Dniper un-assaultable now - and Ukrainian forces will be diverted to evacuating and supporting the civilian population effected by this.

Furthermore, the counteroffiensive hasn't really even begun - there are signs that it has started.

Final postscript (and then I'm going back to bed for a few hours anyway):

The canal that supplies water to Crimea has its intake just above the dam. However, as TASS reported last Nov, Russia has topped up Crimea's reservoirs. No immediate crisis there.

https://tass.com/russia/1535583

||Crimea’s water reservoirs have enough water for two years — authorities
In May 2014, Ukraine cut water supplies to Crimea from the Kherson Region via the North Crimean canal
SIMFEROPOL, November 11. /TASS/. Crimea’s water reservoirs have enough water for two years and will be able to meet the peninsula’s entire demand in case the Ukrainian authorities implement their threats and blow up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant’s dam, Crimea’s Prime Minister Vladimir Konstantinov said on Friday.||

217 @40: "Some explosives were used to breach the upper portion, creating an unplanned spillway."

Interesting 'cause the Russians had drained the reservoir from 16.5m to 14.0m (30 year low) between late Nov '22 and early Feb '23, then began quickly filling it to all the way back up to 17.5m (+1m over normal) starting in April.

But ordinary maintenance failures are not nearly as sexy as who blowed up who and what nefarious plot they had behind it.

236 Operation Chastise

The special bombs of Barnes-Wallis were designed to sink to the base of the dam before detonating. The plan was the over-pressure would crack the concrete.

And it worked.

237 I love how some - even officials - are saying "the Dam wasn't totally destroyed " when there's the video right there on the ."screen with the narrator saying "as you can see, the Dam was totally destroyed ."

Oh I guess there's still a few chunks of concrete on each bank so it wasn't "totally" destroyed.

239 Both may have - and I'll wait to see what the real condition of the water flow is. Ukes definitely are interested in reducing the flow of water to Crimea so they would have a reason to do it. The Russians control the nuke plant, so if they were being psychopaths they might do it.

But more realistically the Russians might have done it to reduce the area they need to defend with this or that many troops. Now that the Ukes have demonstrated an ability to make longer strikes - even into Russia - the issue is not if they can hold territory, but can they disrupt the logistics of troop and material movement into Eastern Ukraine making it even more difficult for Russia to react quickly to troop movements. Blowing the dam reduces that vulnerability for Russia.

And it could be they both thought the music in the new Little Mermaid movie was so hideous they just had to break something.

335 The dam had already been damaged in two previous incidents.
❌ A possible Ukrainian strike in late Oct/Early Nov.
❌ A likely Russian explosive charge that blew up part of the roadway over the dam on 11 Nov.
(Sources: Reuters)

The dam was already under enormous strain and damaged.

Then things got worse. On 2 June, it looks like a road over the dam failed. That could be indicative of a larger structural failure.
Posted by: andycanuck (Vwz3I) at June 06, 2023 05:17 PM (Vwz3I)

Possible Ukrainian Strike?

Ukraine was lobbing HIMARS at the dam continually for weeks, which was a major reason for Russia to plan and execute a retirement from the part of Kherson district north of the river.

There is no question Ukraine tried to destroy that dam.

336 The Polish help theory seems plausible to me. They've always hated the Russians, and not without cause.

Fun fact: The Russians sent their fleets to "visit" the U.S. in 1863 when they were putting down the Polish Insurrection for fear of them being bottled up in home ports in the event the British and French reacted.

Oddly there are reasons for Ukraine to blow the Dam even with their repelled offensives. For whatever reason, the US and UK continue to demand an offensive directly to Crimea to "capture" it, which is insane. Last year Boris visited to push it which led to high casualties north of the river. This year, just yesterday the Brit defense minister just visited.

It might just be that UKR wanted a good excuse not to have to burn troops trying to cross the Dnepr for a while, since they are bloodying themselves up elsewhere and seem far more concerned about the Donbas region.

Posted by: Oldcat at June 06, 2023 06:14 PM (eoQWY)

360 The only reason I could postulate for the Russians to blow up a dam in the territory they control would be to slow an advancing army from occupying that territory. (See Germans retreating from the Netherlands) Since the Ukes are not advancing, the likelihood the Russian blew up their dam is extremely low.

380 The US destroyed the Nordstream pipeline.

Deputy Secretary of State Nuland is on video explaining how much she wanted this event to happen. Twice.

As the above article shows, Biden wished this to happen too.

Bombing dams is a legitimate tactic in war. US engineers developed a device that bombers would simply drop on lakes. The device would float towards the dam, and then sink itself, and then explode.

It is a totally legitimate form of warfare.
