This seems to be a half-arsed attempt by the Americans to emulate the British WWII Special Forces Raid (‘Operation Chastise’) which involved the so-called ‘Bouncing Bomb’ (skilfully used by the British Royal Airforce – or ‘RAF’) – to destroy two Nazi German dams (on May 16/17, 1943) situated in the Ruhr Valley! As usual, US anti-intellectualism has got history back-to-front and all wrong! During WWII in was the ‘anti-fascists’ (the ‘British’) which destroyed the dam(s) involved – whilst in the contemporary ‘American’ performance – it was the ‘fascists’ (the ‘Ukrainians’) which carried-out not a well-conceived ‘Special Forces’ Raid – but rather a plain old ‘terrorist’ attack designed to check the advance of the successful Russian Forces! Of course, in this back-to-front world – the anti-intellectual forces of the West immediately came to the aid of the dithering US and declared its actions to be a) ‘Russian’, and b) a ‘War Crime’! Perhaps the average Russian will finally realise that the betrayal of Stalin in 1956 – and the Revolution in 1991 – simply were not worth the effort! Very much business as usual!
