In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Q ~ Trust Trump's Plan ~ 11/11/2022 Vol.433, Q Day 1840, Wegelhof wrote: My read of the military situation Kherson was that the Russians didn’t want to winter trying to supply a sizable force, where supplies would have to travel across a bridge or a series bridges. So they moved the force to the other side of Kherson and blew up the bridge behind them. A tactical move. I read the force was 30,000 troops in size plus civilians.
Hard to say what's really going on - this is the densest fog of war (Ukraine) than I've ever seen. Another opinion, Colonel MacGregor's video(s) contain his statement that the Russians knew that the Uks planned to blow the bridge to trap Russian soldiers on the west bank, and the ground is not yet frozen for heavier tanks and equipment, and destruction of the bridge would just be more infrastructure damage that would impact Russians living on the East bank. So Russia would withdraw troops and wait for ground to freeze, and possibly move ahead of the freeze.
So then the bridge was blown, and some Russian troops were trapped on the west bank, it looked to me like the Ukrainians blew the bridge before remaining Russian soldiers could be removed (e.g., why would Russia trap it's own soldiers?). Looking at the conduct of the war thus far, the Ukrainians and others said Russia blew up it's own pipeline. I think I see a pattern. But I sure don't know what is ACTUALLY going on over there.
Here is a video or two from Colonel MacGregor - good info. Sorry I don't recall which one had his statement that Ukrainians were planning to blow the bridge.
