Summary

Welcome to my new Series "can you talk real quick?" This is a short, efficiently produced conversation with someone who knows stuff about things that are happening and who will let me record a quick chat to help us all better understand an issue in the news or our lives as well as connect with each other around something that might be unfolding in real time.

This chat is about the destruction, on 6 June 2023, of the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine which was blown up or was breached, causing extensive flooding. Located on the Dnieper in Kherson Oblast, the dam was under the control of the Russian military, which had seized it in the early days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

So I called Bill Boyle!

the news, something really relevant, but I want to learn about that I think we all should

had seized it in the early days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

0:46.2

But that dam breach was a done on purpose, was an explosion, a detonation, or something

0:51.5

else.

0:52.5

And if so, who did it?

0:53.8

That's why I called Bilby, who is, for some reason, a real expert on foreign policy, geopolitics,

1:01.8

politics, and so much more, and pays very close attention, has all kinds of really important

1:07.1

sources who have started to come to him for information, because of how much he takes

1:10.6

in, ostensibly, he's a business owner, he owns parking garages in DC, if you're ever in

1:15.2

DC, look him up, he'll show you around.

1:17.8

But for some reason, he knows all this stuff.

1:19.8

We all think he works for the CIA, but he promises, he doesn't, follow him on Twitter

1:24.3

at Bilby in DC, and we love him most, because he's not trying to make a buck, he's not
