Calm down, geez. I am just saying that Putin could use it as his Casus Belli, not that I agree with it or support Putin. Ukraine better be prepared to back up the checks they’re writing here.
I agree.
Most Americans, like myself, want to stay out of this. Sanctions is all we should do, although it is probably too little, too late. No arms supplies, though: Obama’s track record at any kind of interventionism, action, acting, etc on foreign policy is horrible at best (look at Libya (Benghazi), Syria, Egytp).
RINOs don’t want people to take this stance, but Israel voted in the UN to basically stay out of this.
So far as I can tell, that water comes from a large reservoir on the Dniepre (Dnieper) River, located in a not pro-Russian part of Ukraine. Possibly Ukraine is trying to force Moscow’s hand, to go into a region the Russians would find very costly to hold.
Another angle (I do not know if it is true) is “Russian militants raided through water pumping installations, they laid mines so now Ukrainian technicians can’t access those installations.”

If that’s case...
