@patta8388 the dam collapsing caused catastrophic flooding of deep Russian frontline trench systems that they’ve just spent a year digging and heavily fortifying and mining, forcing an emergency evacuation under Ukrainian shelling, losing a bunch of hardware, equipment, ammunition, food and other supplies that was abandoned and ruined, as apparently they weren’t warned about it. Luckily for the Ukrainians, they had retreated only hours earlier so weren’t affected.
A far more strategic plan for Russia would have been to have coordinated a fighting retreat in the face of a Ukrainian advance, wait until the Ukrainians occupied those trenches and then flooded them, wiping out the Ukrainian offensive and cutting them off from their resupply and other units.
When the water subsides Ukraine will be able to drive straight past those front line positions that will be empty of Russian forces.
The Ukrainian advance, which is happening across a wide front from the north above the dam, which will now be empty of water meaning the rivers are lower and much easier to cross.
Meanwhile the floods prevent Russia from using their main force in Crimea from breaking out and encircling the Ukrainian offensive and attacking them from behind.
So no, it really didn’t make much sense for Russia to have done it, and the Ukrainians are the ones benefitted the most. It’s just like the missile attacks on Poland and Croatia, the shelling of the nuclear plant that Russia held and nordstream pipeline, its Russia’s fault and a war crime until it turns out it was Ukraine, then it’s suddenly ok.
All this war is doing is making record profits for the military industrial complex and oil, gas and food companies. Meanwhile rich old men send poor young men to die so these profits can continue.

Are you Portuguese? I’m wondering what political spin they’re putting on it, they always seem to be pushing a narrative in this channel these days, and it’s usually none to subtle either.
Is it negative? Failing authoritarian neo liberal government are being de rigour these days, as is mass protests against them. Just look at the protests in France, Spain, Israel, of course Portugal and even the U.K., although you won’t see this analysis here or anywhere else in the media. Most lounge the media want to try and ignore it, especially the protests, ages either pretend they’re not happening or talk about 1000s in the streets, when in France for example it’s actually nearly 10 million, to say we’re being lied to odd a massive understatement. 1984 is here in no small measure.

@patriotalbanian3205 Tito being Croat didn’t make it a Croatian empire, are you dumb? Attaturk was half Albanian, did that make Turkey an Albanian empire? Speak sense Man.
The reasons Yugoslavia split are many and varied, but the main reason was because the USA wanted it to split up. Yugoslavia was a strong communist country and a success in the world stage, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union become next on America’s hitlist. Russia has traditionally always has strong ties to Serbia, so the USA wanted some countries to fight a proxy war against Serbia for them to reduce Russian influence in the region, just as they’re using Ukraine as a proxy to fight Russia today. I’d be very careful about agreeing to fight America’s wars for it, just look at how Ukraine is being wrecked, and the USA have got a habit of abandoning their allies and even destroying them when they have outlived their usefulness. Saddam Hussain was once an allay to the USA and was armed and paid to fight Iran, look what happened when that war ended. The Mujahedeen were armed and trained to fight the Soviet Union, look what the USA did to Afghanistan.
