This just gets worse and worse. Seeing animals left like that breaks me.

It has upset me too. This time of year the area will be filled with all sorts of baby animals of all kinds, farm animals locked in pens (like that poor pig). Putins Russia truly is a monstrous state that needs to be dealt with.

Second world war: Dnieper dam blown up by Russians – archive, August 1941
Stalin’s secret police blew up the dam in an attempt to slow the advance of Nazi German troops as they swept through Soviet-era Ukraine
There'll be a queue of similar or worse dirtballs only to ready to step into his warm shoes. This is a long term war of attrition, much the same as what we knew as the cold war, it never ended, there was a hiatus where the 'enemy' retreated and recalculated and came back with new tactics, and now the machine of capitalism is being wielded against those that crushed the first iteration. The west have sleep walked into this bear trap, and now it's emergency stations to manage losses. Still, there's been money made in the 'good times' and once you've feathered your nest, it's someone else's problem....

Either way, it's a tactic of last resort used only by the extremely desperate. Which does not fill me with confidence when it comes to their nuclear arsenal.

Given that Zelenskiy has given warning about the dam before it happened, I presume that this has already been assessed and is not something unexpected. If that's the case then the NATO backed intelligence is confident that the current Ukraine offensive won't engage any of Russia's nuclear arsenal.
Unless we have the Roberto Martinez of military tactician that is ... defence? No comprendo.

I don't mean tomorrow. What I mean is, if Putin is detonating dams then we know he's running out of conventional options. If pressure starts to build on him...
This is turning into the sort of scenario where I would tell you someone might actually use one. First use by a democratic regime more or less guarantees removal from office. Bilateral mutually assured destruction seems to work, mad as it is. The disaster scenario is an authoritarian regime under pressure both from within and without facing an opponent armed only with conventional forces. First use probably leads to a coup, but that's not a certainty. If you're in that box and you know a coup is coming anyway, why not? What's the worst that can happen? They kill you for treason either way if the coup succeeds, so why not do absolutely anything to try and stop it?
If I could flip the switch tomorrow that sees all human life end, I would.
