How to spot Bullshishka: Did HIMARS eventually lead to the failure of the Kakhovka dam?

You just posted it. You switched the narrative. You claimed previously:

Says who? That's a complete waste of HIMARS. Anyone can figure out that a single HIMARS isn't going to blow up the dam.

Your argument is with WaPo...a "trustedTenshitsyou" source

Interesting how you simply ignore anything that doesn't fit your narrative

Says the Major General that ordered it apparently you skipped the details from WaPo Message 34314920 "In contrast, the evidence implicating Ukraine is pretty straightforward: they openly talked about experimenting with ways to breach the dam, and have actively shot rockets and artillery shells at it in the past. We refer back to the infamous WaPo article, and in particular the key passage: Kovalchuk [commander of Ukrainian Operative Commandment South] considered flooding the river. The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages. The test was a success, Kovalchuk said, but the step remained a last resort. He held off. We even have footage of Ukraine striking the dam (particularly the roadway on top of it) from last year - footage which was incorrectly shared this week as being video of the strike that destroyed the dam on monday."
