Didn’t Stalin give the Donbass region to Ukraine in the 20’s to keep the cossacks quiet?

Sounds like where the new Woke US Army is headed.

LOL. Kazan’s and Cathi’s literal cut and paste Russian ministry of defense press release spam on a conservative American website is ok, though.

Now that’s a beautiful picture!

That Bridge cost Russia $3.7 billion. 5 times more than the Moskva that is sitting at the bottom of the sea.

Perspective from Zelinsky’s top advisor Podolyak:

Now seriously. FSB/PMC try to eliminate leadership of Defense Ministry/GHQ. Before personnel change, FSB is in knockdown — missed Putin’s bridge explosion. Defense Ministry can now blame FSB for the future South loss. Isn’t it obvious who made an explosion? Truck arrived from RF.

“FSB/PMC try to eliminate leadership of Defense Ministry/GHQ. Before personnel change, FSB is in knockdown”

This is incredible news. Give God the praise!

I just saw a rwitter video showing a test train on the bridge. It had the engine, 14 box cars, and a round tank type car at the end. They also said a passenger car would cross this evening. I was going to copy the URL and bring it back to FR but my darn Chromebook jumped elsewhere, and I could not refind the page. I have seen a number of explosion and burning videos. The best was a 1.07 long video linked at comment #81 at the first FR post last night about this event. Sorry don’t remember the name of the article.

There is talk now about the possibility a boat was under the bridge and exploded. So far as I could tell, what the video link from comment #81 showed was the truck exploding outward, not from underneath, and that explosion probably exploded upward and set the fuel train on fire. Actually there now appear to be 3 fallen sections of highway, so possibly more than one explosion.

Are those two white bumps in front headlights or explosive pressure points?

There's a panic.

Long queues at gas stations, no food on shelves: People in Crimea are in panic after Kerch bridge explosion

[Why do I post some links to Ukrainian articles? Because they know more about what's going on there. They also know many Russians along with the Russian language and culture. At the same time, they've been moving themselves towards freer, more empathetic, more honest western culture.]

See link at comment #81 at this pust. It is the best view of the explosion that I have been able to find so far.

The large truck is on the up span and that span was not damaged, while the trailing truck escapes the blast altogether.

” Supporting Russian military expeditions in Europe is not something I ever expected the Robinsons to tolerate.”

Robinsons are not supporting Russian military. hh
They are allowing freedom of speech, as long as everyone colos in the lines.

I think the truck version is not the main version anymore.

This is just one of MANY opinions on the internet, but I liked his analysis. He correctly notes that no missiles were seen falling and the damage does not resemble missile damage. He also remarks on the unlikelihood of a water-based attack.

He settles on the truck bomb as the likely culprit, but admittedly, no clear evidence has emerged of the true cause.
