My coworker is an idiot and can’t explain his own thoughts. Nice guy though.

He said he was reading and discovered that Ukrain started the Russian war by building a Dam that would starve a community of water. He didn’t know when or where, but was sure it was before any invading or annexing.

I can’t find any information on this. I’ve been googling and googling. Nothing. I can’t ask him for sources because if I get him going again he won’t stop.

Please help if you know anything.

    It sounds like OP is asking where this talking point comes from in order to counter it effectively.

    I don’t think the post is in bad faith and it fits the purpose of this community. It’s possible that OP is a troll, but their user history doesn’t give that impression and neither does the body of the post.

    The title could have been better

      Thank you.

      I am in fact looking for the root of this disinformation my coworker has read. It was driving me crazy not being able to find any sources.

      Most of these lies are based on something with some truth. I find flat out rejecting them makes no progressin the discussion, but explaining the true context works much better.
