“US officials have clarified that targets in Crimea are fair game, including the Kerch Strait Bridge, as they see it as Russian occupied territory of Ukraine. No escalation ceiling for US weapons use for Crimean targets. As for what was used here, lots of fingers pointing…”

People fleeing Crimea.
“A huge traffic jam formed at the exit from the Crimea.
Motorists report a traffic jam that begins long before the Crimean bridge.”

I’m not signing up for the countless sites and sources that people post to be able to find out what the poster was getting out.
The internet is getting shallower and more annoying and fussy than commercial television.

Good.
HIMARS shell explosions are relatively small. Look at many videos of the Russian ammo depots hit some, but not all, lack ‘fireworks’. And this could have been primarily a fuel depot.

“It is clear from the video that more than one plane was destroyed there 👹
At the moment, it is known that 4 hours before the strike, the following were on the open areas of the Saka airfield:
- 13x Cu-30CM
- 12x Su-24M/R
- 1x IL-76
- 6x Mi-8”

“The degree of destruction in 1 km from the epicenter of the explosion in Novofedorovka
Just imagine what happened at the airport.”

“The destroyed airfield in Novofedorovka was a warehouse for bombs and missiles - military expert Vladislav Seleznev
“The Russian Federation uses two base airfields in the occupied Crimea for strikes against Ukraine. Both aircraft and missiles. One of them was the airport in Novofedorovka””

“We may have just witnessed the greatest single day of losses for the Russian Air Force, ever.
From satellite 4 hours before the explosions, I count 37 jets and 6 helicopters.
The explosions were spread out, across the area. So, maybe targeting groups of aircraft.”

“Tank Kills per Month: August 2022 – 13”
If things break into fast moving maneuver on the open Steppe in the South, the potential increases for some dramatic days of high vehicle losses ahead.
A thousand more Javelins were in that last package of aid announced Monday, as well as more AT-4s.
Now there are images with your “fireworks” emerging, at least 3 destroyed fighters, plus images of the blast damage to buildings 1km away
That is what the proxy war in Ukraine is about. Ukraine has been a war for our corrupt political class and their allies to make $$$$. Our political class had fueled the corruption in Ukraine.
And, the money we're pouring into Ukraine is being laundered back to the same people.
As far Ukraine itself goes, eastern Ukraine is ethnically Russian for the most part. Ethnic Russians have been persecuted and fighting a civil war against Ukrainian nationalists and neo-Nazis for eight years. Most of the combat on the ground is being done by militias from the DPR and LPR. Most of those in eastern Ukraine are going be better off under Russian rule.
Anyone that doesn't see an agenda in that is ignoring the obvious.
Feel free to look at my posting history. I certainly comment and post on many different issues>
I don’t think what you request of other posters is required of people who post here.
You and these other guys keep posting on this major war in Europe that threatens our NATO alliance, how many postings on other topics, or when, or which other topics, is up to each individual freeper.
European invasion by Russia is a pretty big topic in itself, it isn’t like posting only about cats, or Pitbulls.
Most of those in eastern Ukraine are going be better off under Russian rule.
Just today I read that a major city in Ukraine that was destroyed by Russia will not be rebuilt. Provably, these “ethnic Russians” of your fairy tale are not better off. Their city is gone and they now live in poverty. Not because of NATO. Because fascist Russia once again wants a colonial empire.
“Incredible amounts of damage at Novofedorivka airbase in Crimea.”
