Now we see what Zelensky’s BIG counter-offensive is: BLOW UP THE DAM.

Zelensky spent months trumpeting the supposedly game-changing Ukrainian Spring ‘counter-offensive’.

Now it appears that it kept getting postponed so that the CIA-MI6-MOSSAD terror group could perfectly position all of the bombs necessary to sufficiently blow up the Kakhovka Dam to flood the whole area, which it has catastrophically done.

“Located on the Dnieper River in Kherson Oblast, the Kakhovka Dam was under the control of the Russian military, which had seized it in the early days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine”.[1]

If there was one highly geostrategic infrastructure location that Kyiv’s Nazi regime has targeted for destruction ever since Crimea was annexed by Russia, it the Kakhovka is it.

There are actually several reasons why the warmongering US-UK-UA-EU provocateurs, operating under the umbrella of NATO (North Atlantic Terrorist Organization), wanted to destroy this pivotal dam which is way beyond the scope of this post.

Suffice it to say, perhaps the main reason was to completely tie up Russia with the resulting humanitarian disaster so that their attention would be significantly diverted from the very stealthy counteroffensive measures NATO has planned for the rest of 2023 in eastern Ukraine and beyond.

However, because of the true gravity and enormity of this Ukrainian war crime, Russia is now free to respond in a manner that will shock the entire world community of nations.

The Kremlin knows that the far-reaching ramifications and potential consequences of this single act of barbarity will greatly expose even Moscow to an all-out attack by Ukraine, the U.S., and the UK, as well as by all the other bellicose NATO nations which now share a border with Russia.  This also includes Russophobic countries like Poland, Germany, France, the Czech Republic, Romania, and Bulgaria, among many others.

In other words, no other act of widespread and devastating terrorism could have made Russia so vulnerable to outright attack by its many sworn enemies during this war.  Truly, the whole Russian Federation is now facing its greatest existential threats of the Third Millennium.

This means that President Putin et al. have the most solemn decisions to make at this very moment.  This heinous terrorist act against the Kakhovka Dam cannot go unanswered.  The Kremlin has been forced into a corner that now requires a decisive and overwhelming reaction to this war crime of epic proportions.

Just how serious are the West’s plans to wage a full-scale war on Russia? This is how serious the criminally insane psychopaths are in London, Washington, Paris, Berlin, Rome, and Jerusalem.

World War III will effectively begin on July 11th to coincide with the NATO Summit in Lithuania —       Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland

Conclusion

Only the barbaric and brazen savages who populate the highest echelons of the Khazarian Cabal would have the shocking degree of chutzpah to order this apocalyptic false flag terrorist attack.  For only the Khazarians enjoy complete immunity from criminal prosecution for a war crime against humanity of this scope and magnitude.

Surely the Western mainstream media will do everything in its power to hide the true depth and breadth of this deliberate manmade calamity, as all institutions of the Zio-Anglo-American Axis will conduct a highly coordinated cover-up of the both crime scene and complex criminal conspiracy.

BOTTOM LINE: As they always do, the CIA’s Mockingbird Media has already created an echo chamber that is falsely and foolishly repeating one storyline: ‘Russia blew up its own dam’ to somehow thwart Ukraine’s counteroffensive.
