Breaking: The Kerch Bridge, which connects occupied Crimea to Russia, is on fire.

Not possible.
The Putinists of FR told us that soon RuSSia would send in the “reinforcements” which would turn the tide and win the war. That RuSSia would soon unleash the “real” army and win the war. That RuSSia would unleash their “wonder” weapons and win the war. That RuSSia would soon surround Kyiv and win the war. That RuSSia would...
Well ya’ll get the idea. /s
I don’t buy any of that. Putler had 20 years to “rebuild” it and we see what it amounted to. RuSSian graft and corruption will never go away, and their technologically backward society will never keep up.
Not to mention the total lack of will of the Russian people and soldiers to actually mobilize and fight a strong enemy.
The occupants of Crimea are now cut off from Mother Russia and in a mad panic. And there is no “land bridge”.
“Supporting Russian military expeditions in Europe is not something I ever expected the Robinsons to tolerate.”
Neither did I. But we are living in some very strange days.

I can’t help but wonder if they’re trying to destroy this site from within

If so, it is with the assistance of the moderators here. Starting with the Covid threads and now into those concerning the Uke, the level of personal insults and invectives leading to flame wars hijacking those threads have reduced my participation.
It wasn’t that long ago that the mods wouldn’t stand for it. Maybe I’m just getting too old.
Oh my Lord, I see the train in that photo for the first time. I wonder where the HIMARS system is that hit this? lol
Russia is saying it was a truck bomb.
Really now?? Hmmm. I suppose flying, flaming shrapnel could have ignited the multiple fires I see.
Sure looks like multiple rockets struck it though.
“Russia is saying it was a truck bomb.”
Looks like it to me... DM had video of a truck exploding on its front page. Not there now. But I am sure it will reappear, everywhere soon.
The covid threads required no intellectual involvement.
All covid, all the time. Free Republic dogma prevails
Euan MacDonald @Euan_MacDonald · 2h Astonishing new photo of attack on Kerch Bridge off Ukraine's Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula.
As happened to The World Trade Center towers.
I wonder how they managed to get off the bridge before the explosion??
Possible another vehicle picked them up.
Big explosion de-spanned the bridge so it is out of commission for a long time.
Thank you for the incredible photos.
Or rather one section was knocked down looks like another lane is open still. Perhaps not for long.
Another screen cap shows a boat under the bridge right before the explosion.
Don't burn your bridges.
Videos:
some kind of ship or submarine appears under the bridge just a couple of seconds before the explosion.
