The Ukrainians did shoot missiles at the dam with the intention of flooding the river.
In late 2022, Ukraine retook the western bank of the Dnieper during the Kherson counteroffensive. Ukraine accused Russia of planning to breach the Kakhovka dam with explosives in retaliation.[27] During the counteroffensive, Ukrainian Major General Andriy Kovalchuk at one point considered flooding the Dnieper River below the dam, so Ukrainian forces conducted HIMARS test strikes on the Kakhovka dam. One strike targeted one of the dam's floodgates to determine if the rocket could open it. The test was deemed a success and the action was kept as a "last resort" in case of a Russian offensive.
There was no benefit to the Russians to blow up a dam that they controlled. It actually benefits the Ukrainians.
Predicting the situation after the flooding, retired General David Petraeus, former commander of U.S. military forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and commander of U.S. Central Command, took the longer view and said on June 6th that the destruction of the dam will lead to significant downsides for the Russians, and he does not see any "military implications that are particularly large" because "the period of time that this is under water restricts the trafficability and so forth, but over time that will clear up."[135] He said that this actually benefits the Ukrainians in that as soon as the flood waters recede, the river will become shallower and easier to cross.[136] Petraeus also stated his view that this event will not prove to be a decisive hindrance to Ukraine. "I think they are going to crack the Russians. I think the Russians will prove to be quite brittle."
Can I stop having my money stolen and sent to corrupt jews now?

Dan i know it is you, we all know, you even upgraded yourself to Old Spike
I've been here forever. I was on spiked humor and used to be much more involved but I had kids a decade ago and became more of a lurker. I posted a video of my wife and first born at some point.
That out of the way, what is wrong with the evidence I provided?
