Maybe we can send some Afghan refugees back to the Taliban while we’re at it
Yep, let them overthrow the taliban, take on some responsibility.
Ignore me.
I posted a rather stupid reply to you thinking based on you being a genuinely ‘send them all home’ person, then realised you weren’t

I'm sure John Mearshimer can provide a theoretical perspective on why the Russian actions were necessary.
I assume it's not just Crimea that gets it's water from the river, this will likely become a major cathasrophe for the whole southern Ukraine. The agricultural sector takes a lot of it's water from the canals that flow from the river if I'm not mistaken.
In Germany we have destroyed many bridges, the railways and many roads to make life difficult for the invader.Yes. The Alpine tunnels are designed to be destroyed too. Can't have anybody stealing all the money
Quite a few countries have similar I think. Finland already mentioned, and Singapore has its highway runways.
The pivot we've been waiting for all these years.

I'd expect being detected by seismograph not magnetometer. The latter I think can be used to detect really large scale earthquakes, but I might be wrong here.

I don't think Russia blow up the dam because they believe they will lose Crimea, well, not anytime soon anyway, Ukraine getting Crimea before winter sets in is very unrealistic, is it not?
They did it out of spite, and to hinder Ukraine troops, maybe next year they could lose it, but feels way too early for them to panic over Crimea now.

It is essentially that and to force the UA to redirect some resources to their South. Just a short-term diversion tactic, I would think. Along with the news we received now, it pretty well indicated that the UA's counterattack began on Monday. But, it is far too early for the RA to be concerned about losing Crimea.
Those silly gooses.

Apparently he walked across it, causing it to collapse.
I wonder what the response would have been if anyone had suggested ukraine did it back when it happened. I remember those saying it was the USA were getting called crazy conspiracy theorist

Because Elon is a cheapskate, there's no translate function on Twitter anymore so I can't link to the original tweet with confidence that everyone can read it. So the Russian Duma bars investigations of "hazardous" facilities that are damaged in war or by "terrorist" attacks until 2028.
Here's the article: https://theins.ru/news/262336
This is an incredibly tone deaf tweet
I am not sure about the "global" response but I know that it was discussed among my friends as a pretty realistic option.
All these poor animals…

If I am not mistaken, Russia is currently leading the Security Council of UN (the leaders swap every few months based on some schedule done years in advance).
Plenty of people suggested Ukraine did it.
I seem to remember we wondered what they might have to gain from it but it wasn't a conspiracy theorist response to the suggestion.
To fail at something, they would first have to try.
