Aside from SBU/ Banderite murder of Russian ethnics, and nine years of indiscriminate khokhol terror attacks on the civilian population of the Donbass (in addition to the widespread terrorism in the 2014 Obama revolution), civilian casualties at Russian hands have been quite restrained- and on a level magnitudes lower than the casual death and destruction that is USA military standard practice in nearly all conflicts since at least Bush I/ Clinton.

I will change “nearly impossible” to “more difficult than previously”. Otherwise correct.

There wouldn’t have been an invasion at all, if we had listened to Putin’s concerns prior.

That shows cars backed up. More import to Russian logistics is the two way rail.

If the railroads collapse Russian control over Crimea and Southern Ukraine is gone.

🙏 x 💯.

Nothing is unrepairable. Like, for instance, Ukraines electric infrastructure. I predicted that Russia could degrade it, for as long as they kept up the attacks, but that they couldn’t take it out.

Any infrastructure attack is a temporary degradation of utility. How much and for how long depends on circumstances.

Putin just needs us to listen to him.

That is such a touching sentiment.

Perhaps you will be elevated to the state department with these great solutions someday.

Why don’t you wait to see how much actual damage was done? No one knows. How long was it closed the last time? Will it be passable but limited tomorrow?

It’s true. Saw some footage. They got that damned bridge again.

Wondering what took it down/

ATACMS not there yet officially, but under the surface, a LOT of stuff is now in country from the Free West to give the Soviets a bloody nose, we will not know for weeks later they had already arrived for OPSEC purposes. Good show!

Cry more for us, vatnik tears taste the best.

Maybe you’ll be promoted to the head Ukrainian coroner.

The pic above with stopped traffic — I don’t see any lack of lights along the route in the front.

“Crimea now cut off from the Russian mainland.”

It’s too soon to say this. For now it sounds like one of the two road viaducts is down. The more important railroad bridge is what really needs to be destroyed for the most strategic advantage.

Just like last time. This will have negligible effect on the Russians unless this is perhaps a new British cruise missile that was one reckless escalation too far.

You have swallowed a great deal of propaganda unfortunately.
There were no indiscriminate terror attacks on the civilians of Donbass in 2021-22. There was occasional mutual shooting across the trench lines by both sides.

Panic is starting to spread, they are fearful of UKR retaking UKR, from some Russian stuff I have seen from Crimea on talk sites at grassroots level, and several radio stations in Sevastopol and Simferopol report as well. Nice shooting!

More escalation. I'm going to miss my hot showers in the morning when our grid is taken down in retaliation.

Oh, and then there will be the cannibalism.
