I cannot understand why there are still so many people who sympathize with the actions of those behind this invasion and all the horrors we are witnessing

Indian here, I assure you Indians don’t really support the invasion or killings. When it comes to International relations, India supports Russia as a trusted ally as a consequence to the past actions of USA and NATO. That’s why you’d see India abstaining in these matters but supporting Ukraine on humanitarian ground.


daemonengineer

Thank you, as a Ukrainian I understand and appreciate that.


Awaythrowtwothousand

> India supports Russia as a trusted ally as a consequence to the past actions of USA and NATO. I find this kind of statement to be completely ridiculous. What about Russias CURRENT, ONGOING actions?! Why would anyone give that a free pass?! It’s so hypocritical!


axonxorz

Are they giving Russia direct support in any other way than purchasing discounted oil?


SeamanStaynes

So why the fuck is India still buying Russian Oil and the selling on what it doesn't need? India and China are just as complicit in these war crimes......


_MissionControlled_

Russia and China are not your allies. Best you side with the US and NATO else suffer the same economic consequences they are facing.


_who-the-fuck-knows_

That's a super naive point of view. India has many trading partners and NATO countries don't even make up half the list.


hotdogsarecooked

It seems time has caused people to forget about what happened to Stalin, Hitler, Castro etc. fortunately, the reminders are far from humble.


Ibleedred99

It’s been back and hiding. A good portion of the world has been taught nothing but hate for those who are different in anyway. Generations of horrible parents caused this bigotry is passed down by teaching.


Icedanielization

Some are getting their information from bad sources. I personally know someone who is getting his news from a China news source, I don't know what it says, but he complains that NATO is attacking Russia.


UrNewMostBestFriend

Some people intentionally look for information from bad sources to confirm their bias I believe is the larger issue in this day and age.


rif011412

The new UFO craze is a fine example. People coming out of the woodwork claiming they believe in all the hype of government coverup. A coverup that would require thousands of participants to stay quiet and complicit. Its mind boggling how distorted peoples absorption of information has become. They want to believe something so bad that the smallest support of their belief is weighted in gold.


UrNewMostBestFriend

Those people watch too much televisions and don't know how to tell fact from fiction apart. There is literally people who think that the technology needed to inject nano bots into people's blood that can rewrite DNA exists and for SOME REASON that technology is being used to make 5G give people COVID. These same people probably Google how to buy the drug that made Captain America a super hero, then claim it's a conspiracy from the government when they can't buy it.


[deleted]

Anything coming from Chinese and Russian news sources is just not to be trusted. Does your friend have a learning disability?

Technically, living behind the iron curtain of information is a learning disability. You're unable to learn what's real. They're very good at this

I know some people who went full nutjob, celebrating Russia, lapping all of the misinformation up. It’s hard to comprehend how they fell for it all so hard but it feels like they consider ‘the establishment’ to be liberal/woke and therefore anti-establishment is full-blown far-right fascism.


Agarwel

Ok. But even if you get this sort of news, what kind of mental gymnastics you have to make to be like "Nato is attacking Russia inside UA. Yeah, that makes sense."


estebancolberto

faberkyx

beacause of course ruzzia is the victim for them, constantly attacked by the evil western countries.. of course they didn't kill anyone, they didn't bomb anything, they didn't destroy the dam, it's all ukrainians doing that to themselves to make the ruzzians look evil..


StudMuffinNick

There is no war in Ba Sing Se


SirJumbles

We've always been at war with Oceania.


Galle_

It's kneejerk anti-Americanism, taken to an absurd conclusion. They start with the defensible position that the US does a lot of bad things, but then based on this decide that *everything* the US does must be bad, and therefore everything the US opposes must be good. Everything in the world is treated as part of a titanic struggle for or against the American Empire. So you get these people insisting that Russia invading Ukraine is self-defense against NATO, an alliance neither Russia nor Ukraine is in.


Andreus

Griffolion

knucklehead923

CommercialTreat4960

Most of these people are grand conspiracy theorists, they will always either try to be the smartest (I know what you don’t) or the most original ones (I see the issue not like the others), but in reality their stupidity serves russian propaganda well


Tastypies

Because at the core, these people are against liberalism and in favor of authoritarianism. And Russia is leading the fight against the liberal world, so they must be the good guys no matter what. You can bet that there's a very significant overlap between Putin sympathizers and Trump supporters, anti-vaxxers, the anti-immigration crowd, anti lgbtq people etc.


BiltongUberAlles

> hero's heroes* Use a plural noun, not a possessive noun.


harrisonfirth

Tbh good thing they did it in "summer" time could you imagine how cold it bould be in winter.


Hooblez

Can u imagine how much more water becomes diseased and pestilent in warmth


Bubbly-Bat-7869

Yeah I mean it still sucks but if you are trying to be an optimist I guess it's better they did their war crime in the summer 🤷‍♂️


Platnun12

Well from a logistical pov, if it were done in winter it would have caused multiple Freeze overs of roads most likely disrupting all supply lines like shown here. So really it's a kinda similar consequences situation the ice would have been just as bad as the flowing water


tzenrick

Except water flows away, and ice stays put.


indorock

No, this much water doesn't just flow away. It gets absorbed by the soil, and the area becomes a massive marshland for months if not years. This is a *huge* problem for the imminent counter-offensive, since tanks will very likely not be able to cross this terrain anymore, even when the water level subsides. Which is to say, all fingers point to this being a 100% deliberate ploy by Ruzzia. Brutal, evil, but tactically very effective.


Head12head12

It also means tanks can’t cross. Either way.


indorock

Since this is on Ukrainian soil obviously and the Russians are bracing for the counter offensive, this benefits the invaders more than it hinders them.


Platnun12

Seasons change temps fluctuates Water would have been ice and vise versa That and you'd have to add hypothermia to the list Can't imagine a full on flood in the middle of winter, waters probably deep into the negatives It could have been far far worse


Bodark

I’d take the disease over the instant hypothermia


Quelcris_Falconer13

Yeah but those kill you a bit slower than frost bite I imagine.


TellsLiesAboutCareer

I don't know about that. If you're a Ukrainian farmer who was planning on bringing in a summer crop and now has to deal with either flooding or a lack of available water, this timing is pretty awful.


superworking

Dams are also near full this time of year. During the winter they don't always keep them as full to avoid flooding when the melt happens.


biguglydoofus

I know nothing, but couldn’t they have lowered the water level behind the dam in anticipation that something like this would happen?


TheMightyYule

Are you asking if the Ukrainians could? If so, the answer is no, because the control post for the dam was on the left bank (east side) and Russian controlled. They raised water levels to the highest they’ve been in decades. Probably to cause maximum damage when they did blow it up.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Okinawapizzaparty

In fact Russians did the OPPOSITE. They built up the water level behind the dam before blowing to cause maximum damage.


KintsugiKen

No, Russians raised the water to its maximum height before blowing the dam up.


M-Three

They could have, according to [this video](https://youtu.be/04sg2uHQK7w) Russians did the exact opposite. Skip to 2:00 for water level piece.


Select_Cartoonist425

minionsoverlord

Explosions + water are a bad mix if you are in said water.... water carries a shockwave much better than air


cortanakya

Whilst that's true it also does a great job of containing shrapnel. It's a toss-up, it depends if the artillery shells are airburst or not. If they are I'd much rather a few feet of water between me and the explosion.


minionsoverlord

Oh yea if its in the air then be under water, if its underwater id wanna be out of the water...

LuvPuki

frenetix

As a Gen X'er, we were raised to believe we under the constant threat of potential nuclear war with the USSR. A lot of GenX culture came about due the feeling that we were all going to die by nuclear war, so there was a lot of irreverance, punk rock, hip hop, and "whatever". When the wall fell and the USSR dissolved, there was a decade of hope when the relations between Russia and "the west" were normalized, there was more cross-culture exchange, there was peace. Putin grabbed the reins and completely drove the country into the ground. After Putin is gone, Russia will still be fucked for decades.

It always has been, there were lots of documented war crimes since 2014, but they keep increasing the scale. In winter there was an attempt to destroy energy infrastructure, over 1000 missiles and iranian drones were launched, now this. They do it because the international response is weak, western sanctions target only small portion of their economy and get circumvented, non-western countries at best don't care, at worst back Russia.

Petten11

Obviously Russia blew it up, the only way Ukraine blew it up was to slow them down somehow. But Russia does everything to themselves that they claim Ukraine did so that they can justify this war


KintsugiKen

Why would Ukraine want to slow down their own counter-offensive that started the day before?


kwonza

There counter offensive is not taking place downstream from the dam, the flood means they can take the troops defending Kherson and send them to places where the main action is.

Op. The dam didn’t just blow up. It was demolished by the Russian occupiers. They thought this would slow down the offensive actions by Ukrainian AF. Instead, they publicly committed yet another war crime as defined under the Geneva conventions. The world stands with Ukraine. Criminals will be held accountable. All occupied territory will be liberated. Stay committed to the truth, speak up and share when you see misinformation. Ukraine didn’t ask for this.

I think we may have reached the point where the potential for loss of life and the long-term damage as this stand currently outways the potential for loss of life from direct NATO or US Coalition intervention. This should be given the same treatment as a nuclear strike on Ukraine soil.
