If you plant mines in a nuclear power plant or on a dam and there's an "accident" it's not an accident.
It's the foreseeable result of your actions.
Unless you're under the age of six.
We're not dealing with children here.
Every Ruschist soldier is a responsible adult.
In law EVERY foreseeable consequence of the full-scale invasion starting on 24th Feb is 100% Ruschia's responsibility. In law.
Apollo, son of Zeus Pater (Greek successor for the earlier Ancient Ukrainian supreme deity “sky father" *Dyēus pətḗr), commuted between Olympia and Ancient Ukraine (Hyperboreans' land) via a swan-powered chariot.
Lucky escape for this swan.
Full report due at Olympus, just as soon as swan stops swanning around surveying the damage.
⚡️On 'Theory' Ruschists Didn't Intend To Blow Up Whole Dam.
Nice "theory." Pity the evidence is 100% missing. And even if there was such evidence, it would have zero bearing the criminal liability for ALL the foreseeable consequences of mining the dam, and indeed invading Ukraine.
As with MH17, the "We Didn't mean it. Our people are just incompetent" theory has many iterations.
All of which fit neatly into one of many spigots that make up Ruschists Firehose of False Disinfolklore Vectors.
One for every personality type.
In law if the result (whole dam blowing) is a foreseeable result of blowing up the dam, then it makes no difference.
If you get into your car drunk, and you kill many children, you're 100% responsible. Because drunk driving is the original sin, and it's foreseeable that driving while drunk kills people.

And everything which has occurred in Ukraine since Feb 24th 2022 is and was foreseen. "Negligence" "lack of intentionality" "mistakes" "poor execution" "surprizes" carry NO weight as mitigating defences for Ruschia and every single one of the Ruschists occupying Ukraine and supporting the genocide.
I've seen a lot of "knowing" commentators earnestly telling us information they could only know if they have seen into the minds of the people who gave and executed the order to destroy the dam (and MH17).
These Russia-Understanders want to believe the Ruschists aren't as bad as they are.
And they're fixing the data to coordinate with that hope. It's Disinfolklore masquerading as Copium.
"The destruction of the dam "is in line with how Putin is waging this war," the German chancellor told the European Forum in Berlin, Tagesschau reports."
By now, we must understand the Ruschist model of executing war. Ruschia's mental and institutional routines are repeated constantly, through the decades.
“Russia’s Provocation Logic Cycle is a key Disinfolklore weapon… Let’s set it out in its simplest form:
Russia accuses B of provoking Russia.
Russia surrenders to the provocation. Russia bombs the school or dam or....
Russia is NOT to blame. B is to blame, because B provoked Russia.
Rinse-Repeat ad infinitum at a State level and also at an individual level - from Putin down to the lowliest Ruschist: almost every utterance includes this grievance mining nonsense.
Ruschist Disinfolklorists will be promoting a vast load of different vectors to bamboozle and entrap different personality types on their firehose of falsehood. Don't fall for these trolls. Stay focussed.
⚡️Is Russia 'Unlucky' or 'Lucky'?
Everywhere Russia goes genocide happens. Aeroplanes fall from the sky. Dams burst. Nuclear power plants meltdown. Kerch Bridges drop. When Russia 'jokingly' threatens to, say, blow up Kakhovka Dam, the Dam then just collapses. Then after the dam's spontaneous suicide, Ruschist occupier head says everything is "normal." That flood behind him? "It's raining."
Coincidences.
Russia is just 'Unlucky.'
Russia though is VERY lucky when it comes to reporting of its ill luck.
Kremlin laughs at "objectivity" & exploits our naïveté about the fallacy that
The truth may ALWAYS be compromise between ANY 2 opposing positions...
Argument to moderation:
Ukraine says the Sky is Blue.
Muscovy replies: No the sky is Red.
@BBC @nytimesworld et al then report:
"Russia says Sky is Red. Ukraine says sky is Blue. The truth doesn't matter. All that matters is that we model Both Sidesism."
Russia exploits this logical fallacy and institutionalised refusal to make judgments based on evidence.
There are not "two sides" in a war of aggression. Everything Russia does in Ukraine is a violation of the UN Charter. There's no "debate" about State responsibility here. And it's dishonest and partial when ANYONE entertains the idea that it is a DEBATE.
So Russia is lucky that its Useful Id**** are willing to sow doubt, when there is none.
⚡️Muscovy Uses Dams to Kill Ukrainians.
18 August 1941: Muscovy destroys Zaporozhzhia Dam, kills 100,000 Ukrainians. Why? To stop the German Nazis killing them. Muscovy claims a monopoly on murdering Ukrainians.
1960s: At rush hour a dam burst in Kyiv killing untold thousands. Soviets closed the airspace to prevent anyone knowing. The dam had been built by Soviets to flood Babi Yar, where German Nazis had murdered 30,000 Ukrainian Jews over two nights in 1941. Soviets colluded with German Nazis to cover up these crimes.Then Soviets cover-up (the dam) killed more Ukrainians.
15 Sept 2022: 14/15 September 2022 Muscovy spends €100m trying to destroy Kryvyi Rih dam so its 25,000 surrendering/trapped troops in Kherson drown instead.
15 July 2022: Muscovy bombs empty rocket fuel storage in Dnipro: fails to create 1.5km wide crater.
12 April 2023: Muscovy bombs Pavlohrad Soviet-era spent rocket fuel storage facility. one expert told me as @OSCE's environmental security adviser for Dnipropetrovsk 2018-2022: "if 800 tonnes of USSR-era rocket fuel ignites then an area of 150km around the site will be affected & explosive wave will spread out 2.5km." Much of the rocket fuel had been moved. But Ruschists didn't know that. It's their intention what matters.
6 March 2022-Present: Almost daily Russia has shelled its own forces and Ukrainian city of Nikopol from inside Europe's largest nuclear power plant.
The whole purpose of Russia hitting these sites is a. to cause environmental catastrophe and b. to provide content for social media posts.
Ruschia will soon be mirroring these actions inside Ruschia. That's what happens in civil wars.
Too often we hop on the Provocation Logic Cycle, just after the Ruschist has moaned.
oInstead, we need to go back to the beginning of the Provocation Logic Cycle.
Example: "Russia accuses Ukraine of blowing up Ukraine."
Response of those who are Russia-illiterate: "Let's split the difference: Both Sides it."
Truth: Ruschia uses its knowledge of our "Both Sides" ing to get us to promote Ruschist Disinfolklore.
Moral of the story: Whenever you hear this whinging grievance-mining from Ruschia, Putin, MAGA, Trump,... be On Guard.
Someone is trying to hack your rational thought processes by stoking your human empathy.
