Tucker is back, with his alt. view of the Kakhovka dam collapse in Ukraine and our media’s lies

 Tucker is back, with his alt. view of the Kakhovka dam collapse in Ukraine and our media’s lies - American Thinker   "Tucker Carlson has begun his new video presence on Twitter, complete with a “Tucker on Twitter” logo and a video labeled as “Ep. 1.” And it’s a doozy.". . .


"The former cable news ratings champion was moved to take to Twitter with a ten-and-a-half minute explanation of what happened to the Kakhovka dam that collapsed in Ukraine. And you can be sure that it is not the narrative that the American media is pushing with a seeming single voice. Noting that Russia built the dam and that it serves many Russian-speaking areas as well as the Black Sea Fleet’s port in Crimea, he suggested that Putin is not so crazy as to destroy a dam built by his country that serves his country.

"Updated: courtesy of The Gateway Pundit, here is a transcript of the first portion of the video, on the dam:

“This morning it looks like somebody blew up the Kakhovka Dam in southern Ukraine. The rushing wall of water wiped out entire villages, destroyed a critical hydropower plant, and as of tonight, puts the largest nuclear reactor in Europe in danger of melting down. So if this was intentional, it was not a military tactic. It was an act of terrorism. Then the question is, who did it? Well, let’s see. The Kakhovka dam was effectively Russian. It was built by the Russian government. It currently sits in Russian controlled territory. The dam’s reservoir supplies water to Crimea, which has been, for the last 240 years, home of the Russian Black Sea fleet. 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. In December, the Washington Post quoted a Ukrainian general saying his men had fired American made rockets at the dam’s floodgate as a test strike. So really, once the facts start coming in, it becomes much less of a mystery what might have happened to the dam. Any fair person would conclude that the Ukrainians probably blew it up, just as you would assume they blew up Nordstream, the Russian natural gas pipeline, last fall.” . . .
