No way Ukraine could exactly target the time when trucks rolled over the bridge.

Its called UAV - the modern way to spot artillery targets - the UA operates many dozens of commercial drones and over 23 Turkish drones.

If he's as effective a 0bummah of bozoJoe, the Uke's will be OK.

It said HIMARS. So yes US missiles but operated by Ukranians.

Operated by "contractors" paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

But Russia did start it. I’m not on Russia’s side nor the deep state. A long protracted war where both lose is the best result.

That looks like serious damage to the bridge - the worst yet, by far.

Those ammo trucks probably added to the damage. That was some mighty fine shooting, to catch them.

So we took out an important bridge killing a lot of Russian troops while doing so? Let’s be completely honest here, WE DID THAT. I wonder how many are going to be cheering when Putin decides to take off his gloves?

It’s not a bridge between Ukraine and Crimea; it’s a bridge between Russia and Crimea.

I hope he remembers to include billions to fight Climate Change

Putin is not dumb. Neither are the Chinese.

They don't spend money, time, or energy on things that don't matter to them.

China and Russia are intent on ruling the world, and climate change works for them when it's only the U.S. spending time, money and energy doing it. The more the U.S. wastes, the closer China and Russia get to ruling the world.

Interesting. They’re claiming destruction of a bridge that they claimed was destroyed a month ago. But as we’re living in some sort of Orwellian world, I guess we’re not supposed to have any memory of past events.

But…. Won’t the Ukes need that bridge for the glorious counteroffensive where they conquer Crimea and the Donbass? It was supposed to start any day now.

Of all the conflicts going on over the globe, this is the only one that Brandon refuses to concede. He pours tax money into it almost monthly and has pledged our perpetual alliance with the Ukes against the Russians well into the future.

Don’t forget that this is the Russian Federation, not the Soviet Union we’re at war with. Another thing: this is Dick Cheney’s policy to continue our efforts to dismember Russia. Obama continued the policy.

It seems that dissolving its communist system and liberalizing its economy never satisfied these guys. They want to see that region reduced to a pile of antagonistic ethnic states, some of which will become Islamist.

Where’s the benefit in that for us?

No that’s a different one. This is north of Crimea a good distance. This isn’t that one over the strait.

That appears to be a Photoshop/ artist rendering.

Who in their right mind would get that close to a burning bridge under missile attack.

The bridge has been hit at least 6 separate times, each strike making more holes in it, making it structurally weaker.

After the first few strikes it was to structurally compromised to drive a MBT over it, but trucks could still be driven on it.

Now, we’ll see.

“”””That appears to be a Photoshop/ artist rendering.””””

It does look a little too perfectly magnificent.
