Isn’t it convenient that an unchecked truck was able to travel through such vast distances, and through multiple checkpoints, without any impediment or misadventure...
And only 48 hours after Russia said it was “definitely” not the Ukes because of thirty layers of defence or some such nonsense.
Give over. This has false flag written all over it. Low priority train on unaffected rails, only one carriageway knocked off pillars, hardly any casualties, and thirty layers of defence didn’t see a thing.
More people were killed in an apartment block bombing than by this bridge attack, and it’ll take longer to rebuild the housing than fix the bridge.
If the Ukes did it, they did so with minimal collateral damage and made thirty layers of defence look incompetent.
Traffic on the bridge was minimal given the time of day it occurred, going by video footage.
Plus, the Kerch Bridge has a much higher priority for assuring its continued operation than an apartment complex, so it’s no surprise that Russia would prioritize fixing it. Then again, I imagine most countries would focus on fixing such an important piece of strategic infrastructure.
“And only 48 hours after Russia said it was “definitely” not the Ukes because of thirty layers of defence or some such nonsense.” Source? According to a number of Telegram channels I follow that provide English translations of Russian and Ukrainian news reports, a member of the Crimean parliament blamed Ukraine within hours of the explosion, and various Russian Duma members began blaming Kiev once the reaction of Ukrainian officials on social media became public knowledge.
(Also, the reaction of Ukrainian officials on social media was telling. They gloated and stopped just short of claiming responsibility for the attack; only upon realizing the damage wouldn’t be enough to stop bridge operations for more than 48 hours did they begin speculating about an FSB false flag in unison. So color me skeptical.)
