Makes you wonder about all those Brazilian and Argentine footballers, and why Ricky Kaka didn't have any....

I'm not fucking around, the last time Abrams went up against these, they had a 12 or 14:1 ratio on field kills.
The new upgrades to the Abrams since 1990 will make this literally like a warship against an ant colony.

Why the Nova Kakhovka dam — and its destruction — are significant

A major dam and hydro-electric power plant in Russian-occupied southern Ukraine was destroyed early Tuesday, prompting mass evacuations and fears for large-scale devastation as Ukraine accused Moscow’s forces of committing an act of “ecocide.”
The critical Nova Kakhovka dam spans the Dnipro River, a major waterway running through southeastern Ukraine and there are multiple towns and cities downstream, including Kherson, a city of some 300,000 people before Moscow’s invasion of its neighbor.
A critical piece of infrastructure, the dam holds back around 18 cubic kilometers in the Kakhovka Reservoir, about equal to the Great Salt Lake in the US state of Utah, according to Reuters news agency.
The 30-meter-high, 3.2-kilometer (2 miles)-long structure is one of six dams along the Dnipro and supplies water for much of southeastern Ukraine and the Crimean peninsula which was annexed by Russia in 2014.
It also supplies water for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, which lies upstream and is also under Russian control.
On Tuesday, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s southern command said the dam’s destruction will “certainly” affect the operation of the nuclear power plant but there was “no need to escalate the situation now and draw the most critical conclusions.”
And the International Atomic Energy agency said “no immediate nuclear safety risk” exists at the Zaporizhzhia plant and their experts are “closely monitoring the situation.”
Ukraine’s nuclear agency Energoatom said that while water from the reservoir is needed for the “replenishment for turbine condensers and safety systems” of the plant, the cooling pond is “full” and as of 8 a.m. local time “the water level is 16.6 meters, which is sufficient for the plant’s needs.”
In November, the Nova Kakhovka dam was damaged in shelling and satellite images from Maxar Technologies obtained by CNN showed water flowing out of three sluice gates at the dam.
Here's where the dam is located:

Yep. Just russians being russians. They've destroyed the whole region and even fucked up Crimea in the long term. No drinking water for the 400+k population, no water for agriculture, and 20K + of people are now homeless. Don't know how many animals drowned, but in a small zoo in Kahovka that I visited in 2020 only ducks and swans survived, everyone else drowned. Fucking russians.
Not many positives as one can imagine. One maybe is that destroyed agriculture means food shortages, especially for African countries. I say fuck em, they want to support russkies, now they can eat their support.
