    It would have been better if Russia had war-gamed it, instead of actually exploding it and with that killing an untold amount of civilians and destroyed the lives of 100s more. We’dall be happier if Russia had properly war-gamed the invasion. Kinda like thinking before pushing the post button.

      Russia did war game it, and in fact everything could’ve been negotiated back in March last year if US and UK didn’t block the deal.

      Who destroyed what? How do you know?

        True. I base that on circumstantial evidence that Russia is the one to largely profit from it. And that Russia is the actor that has been excessivelly comfortable with the death of civilians and the destruction of civilian use infrastructure.

        It is a very loose statement. But I think it is appropriate for a post that insinuates the motivations of Ukraine to destroy the dam. And bases that insinuation on an old news article, not on a war game as titled, and also in a context of Ukraine’s operation to liberate Kherson and isolate the Russian troops in the northwest side of the Dnipro.

        So I commented on a post that insinuates something based on motivations that do not exist for the event insinuated.
