Putin has been bombing civilians in Kharkiv nonstop since the start of the war. This attack proves he sees no chance of winning. You don't destroy what you want to steal. Here's more, https://united24media.com/war-in-ukraine/here-are-all-the-times-russia-has-targeted-dams-in-ukraine-1940.

“You don't destroy what you want to steal” Russia has stated multiple times, “everything will be rebuilt” the goal is depopulation followed by repopulation by people from Russia. aka russification.

But he's been saying since he became president in 1999 that Ukrainians are really Russians. He wants to destroy his own people. But discussing whether he's another Pol Pot or another Adolf Hitler gets us nowhere. All these psychopaths really live lives of contradiction, Trump, Stalin, etc. My comment was really about civilians.

The propaganda says they're not attacking civilian targets. Someone in Russia showed people on the streets actual photos, and they were shocked. I don't have a link of that video, though.

>This attack proves he sees no chance Yeah unfortunately could not be further from the truth. I think people are forgetting that Russia is only using about 1/4 of their military because it's not an official "war." It's like the US only using the Marines, because they can be deployed without Congressional approval, versus using the entirety of the military (Marine corps, Navy, Air Force, army). If Ukraine drags this out such that the Russian economy *actually* starts to buckle, well... I fear for them. Not to mention putin would sooner nuke Ukraine than admit defeat, lets be real

I mean every bomb they target in Russia is a bomb that doesn’t target attacking forces. So it’s a little more difficult for them. But the Russian population needs to “feel it”. The majority of the population doesn’t care because it hasn’t affected them, but if they start getting restless, Putin will likely pull back to protect his own rule.

Despite all of the efforts by Trump-Vance and Orbán, Putin's invasion of Ukraine has effectively ground to a halt. The conflict has long since become a war of attrition. Best Ukraine keep pummelling Russia's oil and gas with 🔥sanctions🔥 and directly target Moscow's ability to fund its war. Or to put it another way, force the enemy to try and fight this war with one hand tied around their balls.

They would lose a lot of support if they do that. This war is one in which Ukraine is unambiguously the good guy. Committing counter-atrocities would only serve to allow those against sending aid to Ukraine to point at the supporters as being pro war-crime.

Ukraine started hitting water supplies first. First they cut drinking water to Crimea even before war then after war they cut drinking power to Donetsk. Ukraine considered Crimea occupied yet tried to turn peninsula into wasteland.

\> First they cut drinking water to Crimea even before war Water for agricultural use (not drinking water), and 2 months **after Russia began the war** by invading Crimea on Feb 27 of that year.

Water is water. Without agricultural water Crimea was turning into desert. Ukraine considers occupied people its citizens yet it force ecological disaster on them. But what should have i expected from goverment that stated for some time that people in occupied territories are considered collaborators for asking russians for medical assistance or when medical staff keep working and treating people while under occupation.

\> Water is water. Except **water sources** are not created equal. If you disagree, try paddling out into the ocean for a bit to quench your thirst. \> Without agricultural water Crimea was turning into desert. That's not how desertification works. \> Ukraine considers occupied people its citizens yet it force ecological disaster on them. The move was bad optics/PR on Ukraine's part, and probably not a good idea. But in no sense were they creating an ecological disaster with the water shutoff - just economic pain. You're simply repeating talking points fed to you by others. To push your buttons, and get you riled up.

How many people died while invading Crimea? Ukraine considers Crimea occupied yet still trying to turn it into wasteland. It doesnt care about well being of its citizens under occupation according to them. So yes, Ukraine started water supply game and have no right to complain about same act done to them while they did it first.

Spent many summers in that area in my childhood. Once we swam across the reservoir with friends, took so long I could barely walk after. We were scared to swim back, so walked back over the dam in our trunks lol. F*** Russia.

Ukraine blocking a canal after the annexation of Crimea by putler isn't *remotely* the same thing as blowing up dams or targeting infrastructure during an active war! If russia occupies Crimea, then russia is responsible for supplying it. Also, "before the war" is just wrong since the canal was blocked *after* russia took Crimea. The war didn't start in 2022, it started in 2014. And the Donetsk point is just horseshit. Water problems there are because of the war in Donbas, not because Ukraine turned off a tap out of spite.

Yes Russia occupied it and yet Ukraine considers crimeans its citizens and Crimea its land. Yet they force ecological disaster on it. I guess Ukraine is responsible for water and electricity of its citizens too. And about Donetsk its literally "problems" with Siverskyi Donets – Donbas Canal. Ukraine decided to cut water off. Its their choice but complaining about water problems caused by war when you yourself did same thing is a bit hypocritical

Now you’re just being obtuse, or deliberately mixing up timelines and gaslighting, while trying to draw a clumsy false equivalence. Blocking supplies to occupied territory isn't the same as destroying infrastructure during an active war, no matter how much you try to twist it into some dumbass vatnik shit about poor russia being mistreated due to russophobia.

Does the US have a history of targetting dams or water reservoirs? There's a difference between NATO bombing a power station in Serbia and Russia targeting the another major dam after causing one of the worst man made environmental disasters in the 21st century when they destroyed the Kakhova Dam in 2023

lol a power station wasnt the only thing hit by NATOs 78 day bombing spree dude. 300+ Schools, 40 hospitals, bridges, power grids, buildings, railroads, and refugee convoys. sounds like NATO established the precedent here. dont believe me, read it yourself: https://www.icty.org/en/press/final-report-prosecutor-committee-established-review-nato-bombing-campaign-against-federal

>sounds like NATO established the precedent here. 1) Lmao. 2) Thank you for sending me a document you didn't read yourself >54. During the bombing campaign, NATO aircraft flew 38,400 sorties, including 10,484 strike sorties. During these sorties, 23, 614 air munitions were released (figures from NATO). As indicated in the preceding paragraph, it appears that approximately 500 civilians were killed during the campaign. These figures do not indicate that NATO may have conducted a campaign aimed at causing substantial civilian casualties either directly or incidentally. >57. In the course of its review, the committee did not come across any incident which, in its opinion, required investigation by the OTP. >59. It does not appear that the train was targeted deliberately. >62. It is the opinion of the committee that the bridge was a legitimate military objective. The passenger train was not deliberately targeted. The person controlling the bombs, pilot or WSO, targeted the bridge and, over a very short period of time, failed to recognize the arrival of the train while the first bomb was in flight. On the Djakovica Convoy >69. It is the opinion of the committee that civilians were not deliberately attacked in this incident. On the Bombing of the RTS (Serbian TV and Radio Station) in Belgrade >77. Assuming the station was a legitimate objective, the civilian casualties were unfortunately high but do not appear to be clearly disproportionate. >Not only were these targets central to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia’s governing apparatus, but formed, from a military point of view, an integral part of the strategic communications network which enabled both the military and national command authorities to direct the repression and atrocities taking place in Kosovo (ibid, 21 April 1999). >79. On the basis of the above analysis and on the information currently available to it, the committee recommends that the OTP not commence an investigation related to the bombing of the Serbian TV and Radio Station. On the Bombing of the Chinese embassy >85. It is the opinion of the committee that the aircrew involved in the attack should not be assigned any responsibility for the fact they were given the wrong target and that it is inappropriate to attempt to assign criminal responsibility for the incident to senior leaders because they were provided with wrong information by officials of another agency. Based on the information available to it, the committee is of the opinion that the OTP should not undertake an investigation concerning the bombing of the Chinese Embassy. This is the most damning for NATO, and the committee approved of NATO's response (the committee accepted that bad intelligence led to targeting a civilian structure without sufficient legitimate military objectives, removing those intel officers, publicly apologizing, paying the Chinese government for the incident). Criminality occurred here, but NATO properly punished the people involved in said criminality, hence no further investigation. On the attack on Koriša Village >There is some information indicating that displaced Kosovar civilians were forcibly concentrated within a military camp in the village of Koriša as human shields and that Yugoslav military forces may thus be at least partially responsible for the deaths there. >The committee is of the view that the credible information available is not sufficient to tend to show that a crime within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal has been committed by the aircrew or by superiors in the NATO chain of command. Based on the information available to it, the committee is of the opinion that OTP should not undertake an investigation concerning the bombing at Koriša. Idk how you can be so confidently wrong lol. All of these instances were assessed based on proportionality. There is absolutely no way any international law body would find the Kakhovka Dam strike or Russia's years long bombardement on heating infrastructure to be proportional under international law

Which colour of crayon do you think tastes the best? > i dont give a shit what a UN backed by all of NATO says about their own war crimes. Russia and China are part of the UN and both voted to create the ICTY so your argument immediately falls apart if you knew basic information about the Yugoslav wars (you don't, you've also proved you can't read or understand hyperbole).
