    I find it interesting that we publically entertain the idea that it wasn’t Russia clearly blowing up the dam to cause unbelievable suffering because the pain causes Putin and his buddies pleasure. Like, we all know it was Russia. Why would anyone suspect anyone else? Russia’s word is so low at this point, that Zelenskyy and Biden could come out live on MSNBC, Fox News, PBS, the BBC, Al-Jazeera, and ESPN showing them shooting Ukranian kids, and I would wonder how it’s Russia really doing it.

      I think it’s weird how folks can be so sure of things they didn’t see or experience. Either there’s a external source of info that’s trusted or there’s some prejudice. Can’t think of another way to be so sure

        dude, relax. I’m not saying that the USA or Ukraine aren’t possible of atrocities. I’m well aware of the screwed up crap the US has done. Everything related to the Monroe doctrine for one. Regardless, in this situation, the Russian government has destroyed the trust in their word so much that I just will automatically assume they’re at fault for any atrocities regarding the war on Ukraine. Putin acts like a dark triad sociopath. He needs to go. Surely, the US will commit some heinous behaviors, but until it’s demonstrated it was the US, I will automatically assume it was Russia. Also, I’m just a random person. I have no political say in the whole matter, so my opinion doesn’t even matter anyway.
