I don't know why people would expect the Russian military to not be behind the attack on the dam when they have a long history of targetting civilian infrastructure.
The Ukrainian military doesn't have a history of false flag operations, so it wouldn't make sense for them to be behind an attack on a dam that wouldn't benefit them.
The article is garbage, becuase it assumes NATO acts as a cohesive unit beyond being a defensive alliance with a required (and barely enforced) 2% GDP expenditure. NATO as a whole will never send troops to Ukraine - the US and some of its allies MIGHT send aid beyond sending military supplies, but member states are never required to send aid outside of article 5 invasion triggers. Members are never kicked out or penalized in the alliance if they choose to not participate in the US's forever wars.
NATO did nothing in Donbass. It was Ukraine and a Russia backed seperatist movement making a series of cease fires, both sides ignoring them over and over, and way too many lives tragically lost. Donbass is not Russian or NATO territory.
Yes there was an very harsh coup. Yes the following election was controversial. But the brutal world is Russia had zero reason to care outside of either US style "global cop" warmongering, or extreme paranoia with Ukraine maybe someday joining a defensive alliance. Ukraine is a sovereign nation, and their shitshow should have been their own.
If Russia truely cared about the Crimean people instead of annexing them for empire building, they'd have opened their borders to Ukrainian migrants and refugees instead of invading.
This isn't a war between "NATO and Russia", this is a war between Ukraine and a Russia that is either Warmongering in a sovereign nation to empire build, or a Russia that is Isreal levels of paranoid.
