So We Are Just Going To Sit And Watch

I asked is this false?

Russia took control of Crimea in February 2014. According to Ukrainian officials, the facilities of the Canal in Crimea were seized by the new de facto authorities in March 2014, who drove away the Ukrainian personnel. In the absence of maintenance on the Russian-controlled side, water could not reach the consumers. According to the Ukrainian Water Resource Agency, the Russian de facto authorities refused to pay for water delivery, accumulating a huge debt. Under such conditions, Ukraine blocked off the canal.

Which is very much different than your statement of, “ Then proceeded to cut off the only water supply to Crimea.”


Now

You

Both sides are to blame.

Not if it saves Putin a few million, Russia ignores their duty to maintain the infrastructure, and their neglect can be glossed over and spent as propaganda for “invasion.”

You

Is water not a basic human right?

It’s also a “right” for a person / country to provide services and labor and be fairly compensated, and not be treated like a indentured servant.

If Putin cared about the people of the Crimea, maybe he should have had a solution to the water problem for agriculture before taking over.

When did the water problem start for Crimea….

I am in 1000 percent agreement. Did You see the portable bridges that Our southern Neighbors been building to get over the 'wall' HA. Hilarious, not really. Man, We MUST legitimize our south of the border relations. The US has offended the 'ruling' class there so many times. All it would take is one proper alliance and Mexico would secure the border for us.
