Or at least, the assumption that Russia is always the culprit is no longer valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on recent reporting, which&nbsp;I <a href=\"https:\/\/americanliberty.news\/defense-news\/biden-knew-ukraine-was-going-to-blow-up-nord-stream-pipeline\/pcrespo\/2023\/06\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote about here<\/a>, Ukraine may, in fact, have been responsible for the serious sabotage of the Nord Stream undersea gas pipelines in September 2022, which was long blamed on Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes the always-blame Russia crowd look less credible. But that doesn\u2019t mean Tucker\u2019s always-blame-everyone-except-Russia approach is any better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While on Fox, Tucker repeatedly blamed the United States and Joe Biden for being behind the Nord Stream attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2023\/06\/07\/tucker-carlson-ukraine-russia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">On Feb. 24 he said<\/a>: \u201cSo the Biden administration committed the single largest most profound act of industrial terrorism of sabotaging history. They blew up the Nord Stream pipeline \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that has always been a stretch. Instead, The Post reporting today reinforces my earlier conclusion that it is&nbsp;\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/americanliberty.news\/commentary\/did-russia-really-blow-up-the-nord-stream-undersea-gas-pipelines-probably-not\/pcrespo\/2022\/12\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">likely, the U.S. was aware but turned a blind eye<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, as far as we can tell, Biden knew about it beforehand but was unwilling or unable to do anything about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tucker\u2019s claims aren\u2019t helped when he spouts pro-Russian&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/tucker-carlson-floats-theory-ukraine-blew-dam-his-first-twitter-show-1804889#:~:text=In%20the%20first%20episode%20of,in%20Ukraine's%20southern%20Kherson%20region.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">talking points<\/a>&nbsp;in his video, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>The Kakhovka dam was effectively Russian. It was built by the Russian government. It currently sits in Russian- controlled territory. The dam&#8217;s reservoir supplies water to Crimea, which has been for the last 240 years home of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, the \u2018Soviets\u2019 built the dam during the USSR, not the \u2018Russians,\u2019 and the USSR no longer exists. Secondly, it doesn\u2019t matter how long Russia\u2019s Black Sea Fleet was based in Crimea; it belongs to Ukraine because that\u2019s what happened when the USSR dissolved in 1991 and Ukraine became independent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tucker\u2019s Trumpian personal insults, like describing Ukraine\u2019s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, as a &#8220;sweaty and rat-like comedian-turned-oligarch,&#8221;&nbsp;probably don\u2019t help his credibility much either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tucker is on firmer ground when he argues that: &#8220;Blowing up the dam may be bad for Ukraine, but it hurts Russia more, and for precisely that reason, the Ukrainian government has considered destroying it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/americanliberty.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GN43534C_EN-1-838x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52589\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially when he cites a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2022\/12\/29\/ukraine-offensive-kharkiv-kherson-donetsk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">December report<\/a>&nbsp;from&nbsp;The Washington Post&nbsp;in which a Ukrainian general spoke of using U.S.-made HIMARS launchers to &#8220;test strike&#8221; on the Kakhovka dam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what are the facts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dam spanning the Dnipro River was breached on Tuesday, flooding swaths of territory and threatening crucial water supplies to Europe\u2019s largest nuclear power plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least 42,000 people and 1,500 square miles of land are at risk from the flooding caused by the destruction of the dam, likely slowing any potential Ukrainian military advance in the Dnipro River delta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of the Dnipro River delta will become inaccessible for land operations, raising suspicions that Russia deliberately sabotaged the dam to prevent an expected Ukrainian counteroffensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the flooding has disproportionately affected the Russian-occupied side of the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kakhovka reservoir does supply Russian-occupied Kherson Oblast and the Crimea peninsula with fresh water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zelensky has said that the only way to destroy the dam is through mining and explosives and emphasized that Russian forces have now occupied the dam for over a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a statement, Ukraine\u2019s Southern Operational Command said, \u201cRussian occupation troops blew up the dam\u201d at Nova Kakhovka in the Kherson region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/americanliberty.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GN44368C_EN-785x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52605\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Blaming \u201cRussian terrorists\u201d for the attack, Zelensky said on Twitter that \u201cthe destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam only confirms for the whole world that they must be expelled from every corner of Ukrainian land.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, Tucker may be right. Ukraine could have been behind the attack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he is far more credible when he is less bombastic and emphatic with his theories. Such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/tucker-carlson-floats-theory-ukraine-blew-dam-his-first-twitter-show-1804889#:~:text=In%20the%20first%20episode%20of,in%20Ukraine's%20southern%20Kherson%20region.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">when he states<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>So really, once the facts start coming in, it becomes much less of a mystery what might have happened to the dam, and a fair person would conclude that the Ukrainians probably blew it up, just as you would assume they blew up Nord Stream, the Russian natural gas pipeline last fall.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Tucker ended his new Twitter show by promising to be back with \u201cmuch more, very soon.\u201d\u00a0I\u2019m looking forward to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Opinions expressed by contributors do not necessarily reflect the views of Great America News Desk.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ANALYSIS \u2013&nbsp;In his Twitter Spaces debut Tuesday night, called &#8220;Tucker on Twitter,&#8221; former Fox News host Tucker Carlson immediately accused Ukraine of being responsible for the catastrophic attack on the Nova Kakhovka dam in Southern Ukraine.
