Curious industrial disasters keep hitting Russia...

Russia seems to be unusually industrial-accident prone lately.

Over the past three days, three Russian industrial plants crucial to the war effort have blown up. Today, a water dam in Krasnodar mysteriously malfunctioned, resulting in flooding.

Coincidence? There is no clear reporting on these incidents yet, but there are suggestions they could be linked to western cyber activity using STUXNET-type technology. As a leader in the design and manufacturer of industrial logic controllers, the US would be in a unique position to understand these sorts of industrial vulnerabilities.

With an assist by self-sabotage due to infrastructure neglect. And "bad karma" is a given.

You look in the mirror and see a Czar God - the rest of us see a deeply damaged man child still in a high chair demanding attention.

I actually feel sorry for him - he is almost as damaged as 45. I would NOT want to live in that head full of worms for a second. We, as Homo Sapien Sapiens NEED to stop creating these mental mutants - if we do not the roaches or rats will take over this planet.

never seemed to put much stock in quality control, safety procedures, or worker wellbeing. When shit blows up, they stand in front, wave their hands, and shout "nothing to see here!"

Like the French Resistance.

I want to be able to cheer for some Russians. I know there are good ones out there.

The sooner Russia experiences infrastructure losses, the better. At least these are targets involving the war, and not random residential hits to make Russia suffer. So be it.

Yeah, it would be great if all this was from their own people who have finally woken up.

They offed their families and then themselves within days of each other. Coincidence? I think not.
