Russian Forces Destroy blocking water supply to Crimea

Something that is not been overlooked.
As the Russians moved in around Crimea. The Russian forces had destroyed a dam that was blocking water supply to Crimea.

Russian forces destroy blocking water supply to Crimea. Ukraine built dams on the canal after the referendum and 2014 "annexation"

There are likely things that Ukraine had done in the country that many of us we might not know in the west.
Russian troops blow up dam blocking water from Dnieper to Crimea. Crimea will get water again.

Crimea water dispute: Russia struggles to supply region

It's no surprise this would be one of their prime targets.

I hope Ukraine makes Russia bleed enough that they won't think twice about returning. Russia's prospects for a prosperous country are looking grim and for good reason.

If Putin brought his army into your country, callously running your neighbors over with tanks and slaughtering your people in an attempt to impose his iron dictatorship upon you and your countrymen, would you take up arms and fight or lay down and submit to his authority over you?

I hope you understand you have Hillary, Soros, Rothschild agreeing with you.

You have EU countries and other countries facing supply chain, inflation such issues arent going to get fixed in 10 months in fact they might be the new normal.

Try answering the question I asked you.

a reply to: Alien Abduct

I did. As for this one.

would you take up arms and fight or lay down and submit to his authority over you?

Would you prefer to take up arms with far right? or if you had Jihadists taking over your town would you join them to take up arms?

Asking me questions doesn't answer my question.

From another thread…. Reusing.

This false?

Russia took control of Crimea in February 2014. According to Ukrainian officials, the facilities of the Canal in Crimea were seized by the new de facto authorities in March 2014, who drove away the Ukrainian personnel. In the absence of maintenance on the Russian-controlled side, water could not reach the consumers. According to the Ukrainian Water Resource Agency, the Russian de facto authorities refused to pay for water delivery, accumulating a huge debt. Under such conditions, Ukraine blocked off the canal.

Not if it saves Putin a few million, Russia ignores their duty to maintain the infrastructure, and their neglect can be glossed over and spent as propaganda for “invasion.”

Asked by other person in thread…..

Is water not a basic human right?

It’s also a “right” for a person / country to provide services and labor and be fairly compensated, and not be treated like a indentured servant.

If Putin cared about the people of the Crimea, maybe he should have had a solution to the water problem for agriculture before taking over.

When did the water problem start for Crimea….

I am sure the Ukrainian Kiev officials really cared about the people in Crimea.

Despite the issues Crimea had with Kiev before the independence?

You mean like how Kiev was cutting off food to Crimea?

a reply to: vNex92

Which is it. Water? Food? Ukrainian Nazi’s? NATO. Ukrainian shelled 15,000 to death. Those carrying Putin’s water keep changing their story from day to day.

Is this false..

Does Russia expect Ukraine to supply Crimea's food and water?

That might explain why they are fighting back so hard.

Try answering the question I asked you.

That kind of depends what country I was in along what kind of government it had and what country was invading and what sort of government they had.

Take Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan as an example, for sure they ended up in a much better place after democracy came to town.

When I served in Guam, there was no love lost for Japan.

Tinta Massacre Site

en.m.wikipedia.org...

It is the location of a massacre of civilians by Japanese troops on July 15, 1944, six days before the island was liberated, in World War II. Thirty men and women from the village of Merizo were gathered; sixteen were killed and the others were left for dead. One of those killed was Mrs. Maria L. Mesa, "a prominent pre-war educator". In 1991, the site was marked by a cross.[2]

I don’t get how the Ukrainian doesn’t turn into another Afghanistan.

Thanks, that answers my question.

Putin must still think of Ukraine as Russia's serf.

True, however Russia isn't a democracy. Even still he would be better off if he lived in North Korea for instance but somehow I doubt he lives in a country worse off than Russia as far as freedoms are concerned. He's welcome to answer for himself.

Anyone dumb enough to stand in front of a tank during an ongoing war should be run over so they can't produce any more kids.

They were hoping that Syria would turn into another Afghanistan for Russia.
How did turn out?
