That is absolutely what he was trying to talk about! Thank you!

It was shut down after Russia invaded in 2014 and was only %18 of the drinking water supply.

I really appreciate the effort you put in to get me that information.

Thank you, the answers have been massively helpful. I appreciate the vote of confidence.

Thank you for the confirmation, I appreciate it.

Yeah, that was essentially where it was left at. He said Ukraine broke a contract with russia (he ad pivoted to the NATO encroachment defense of the war) and I said even if there was a valid contract that legally justified war, it wouldn't morally justify killing Ukrainians and displacing them from their homes.

That is the impasse we left it at.

Not Trump himself, but he's a big fan, facebook tells him to be.

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.

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.
