Why

 


would the Russians 

sabotage their source of drinking water?


Ukraine war live updates: Kakhovka dam flooding set to peak; Kyiv says it’s on offensive in Bahmut


Ukraine has been saying for some time now 

it wants to expel Russia from all of it's territory 

including the strategically important Crimean peninsula.


So why would Russia cut off it's own drinking water?


"Russia denied involvement, 

accusing Ukraine of sabotaging the dam 

in a bid to damage water supplies 

to Russian-occupied Crimea 

and to cover up military failures."


"Entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity"



Not to mention:


Biden’s team fears the aftermath of a failed Ukrainian counteroffensive

04/24/2023


"Behind closed doors, the administration worries about what Ukraine can accomplish."


(As well they/we should.

And maybe that's why the dam was hit?

Maybe?

Just sayin?

Makes more sense than an occupier 

sabotaging his drinking water source 

would be my estimation.

Yup.)


"The Biden administration is quietly preparing for the possibility that if Ukraine’s spring counteroffensive falls short of expectations, critics at home and allies abroad will argue that America has come up short, too."

"Publicly, President Joe Biden’s team has offered unwavering support for Ukraine, pledging to load it up with weapons and economic aid for “as long as it takes.” But, if the impending fighting season yields limited gains, administration officials have expressed privately they fear being faced with a two-headed monster attacking it from the hawkish and dovish ends of the spectrum.

One side will say that Ukraine’s advances would’ve worked had the administration given Kyiv everything it asked for, namely longer-range missiles, fighter jets and more air defenses. The other side, administration officials worry, will claim Ukraine’s shortcoming proves it can’t force Russia out of its territory completely.

(The lack of available good options etc...)


“We’ve nearly completed the requests of what [Ukraine] said they needed for the counteroffensive as we have surged weapons and equipment to Ukraine over the past few months,” said one administration official who, like others, was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive internal considerations."

"But belief in the strategic cause is one thing. Belief in the tactics is another — and behind closed doors the administration is worried about what Ukraine can accomplish."

"Those concerns recently spilled out into the open during a leak of classified information onto social media. A top secret assessment from early February stated that Ukraine would fall “well short” of its counteroffensive goals. More current American assessments are that Ukraine may make some progress in the south and east, but won’t be able to repeat last year’s success."



"Ukraine has hoped to sever Russia’s land bridge to Crimea and U.S. officials are now skeptical that will happen, according to two administration officials familiar with the assessment. But there are still hopes in the Pentagon that Ukraine will hamper Russia’s supply lines there, even if a total victory over Russia’s newly fortified troops ends up too difficult to achieve."

(Whoever controls Crimea controls Ukraine...

It's why Putin annexed it when he did)


"Moreover, U.S. intelligence indicates that Ukraine simply does not have the ability to push Russian troops from where they were deeply entrenched — and a similar feeling has taken hold about the battlefield elsewhere in Ukraine, according to officials."


"A counteroffensive that doesn’t meet expectations will also cause allies in foreign capitals to question how much more they can spare if Kyiv’s victory looks farther and farther away."


“European public support may wane over time as European energy and economic costs stay high,” 

(Germany is in a recession your not hearing about BTW)

said Clementine Starling, a director and fellow at the Atlantic Council think tank in Washington, D.C. “A fracturing of transatlantic support will likely hurt U.S. domestic support and Congress and the Biden administration may struggle to sustain it.


“If Ukraine can’t gain dramatically on the battlefield, the question inevitably arises as to whether it is time for a negotiated stop to the fighting,” said Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations. “It’s expensive, we’re running low on munitions, we’ve got other contingencies around the world to prepare for.”


(Putin knew all of that ahead of time.)



"The fighting has taken a toll on the Ukrainians as well. Fourteen months into the conflict, the Ukrainians have suffered staggering losses — around 100,000 casualties — with many of their top soldiers either sidelined or exhausted. The troops have also gone through historic amounts of ammunition and weaponry, with even the West’s prodigious output unable to match Zelenskyy’s urgent requests."


(Somebody been telling you we were being bled dry and that it was the game plan all along cause the real one is coming up next, this is still the prelims, round one etc.)


"Russia 17,500 troop losses

Ukraine 71,500 troop losses"


It was the only document altered in the pentagon leak.


WHY?


Ought to be the question you're asking yourself.

This conflict has never been going the way we are being told it is and most of the rest of the world knows it.


WHY?


(The documents were on Telegram, 

Twitter and 4chan first, 

not discord BTW)
