russia will throw in a hundred of bad faith arguments and outright ignore reality (no seismic signature, suuure) to mud the water, so be sceptical about everything anybody is saying about the whole thing. They even blew up the dam before and inflicted more casualties on themselves too, so “look who benefits“ isn’t reliable either

- maximinus_thrax 3y agoOf course it's not just theirs, I never said that. Republicans (Trump is the most recent example) are also fans of this approach.
- andrewflnr 3y agoThe Russians previously blew up the Kakhovka dam, before the time it collapsed? I didn't hear about that. Anyway, this was a distinctly pro-Ukraine source, so I think he was at least in good faith, even if he was way off.
- Muromec 3y agoThey blew a different dam on Dnipro during retreat in WW2 and killed about fuckton of civilians and their own troops
