Daily Kos - SHOCKING UNEXPECTED Ukraine Update: Kerch Bridge [connecting Russia to Crimea, Ukraine] knocked out


Belated birthday president for Vlad.

So this should make it more difficult for Russia to reinforce Crimea if Ukraine decided to try and take it back.

So this should make it more difficult for Russia to reinforce Crimea if Ukraine decided to try and take it back.

Pretty much. And considering their attempts to cross rivers earlier in the year weren't... great.

 

[Iceman]

I hope it’s more serious or that Ukrainian forces can subsequently damage it further. It’s one of the main tools Russia uses to keep Ukraine in a vulnerable position.

We know what Russian 'brotherhood' looks like. It's a one way street ruled by Russia and leads to fratricide.

Russia is attacking civilian areas not military targets in Ukraine.



Reports that Iranian suicide drones are being sent into Ukraine from Belarus.

It just boggles my mind. With their front lines collapsing, this is where they choose to spend their missiles?

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

They believe killing civilians (bombardment + mass graves) is what wins wars.

All it wins are more enemies as they reveal themselves for the monsters they are.

Vice - Elon Musk Spoke to Putin Before Tweeting Ukraine Peace Plan: Report

Musk‘s denial of directly talking to Putin could mean he spoke through Putin’s English translator or other intermediary,

He was straight up repeating Russian propaganda and he used Russian terminology like ‘Krushchev’s mistake.’ Laundering the plans and talking points of the Kremlin as his own.

My guess is that Putin phoned him up and offered to let Elon set up a new Tesla factory in occupied Donetsk, using Ukrainians as slave labour.

Musk is always on the lookout for more lithium, even if he has to back a coup to obtain it.

Both Musk and Trump prove you don’t have to be Russian to be Russian oligarchs.

Belarus does not renew European ambassador’s accreditation, EU sees it as «hostile» act

Elon Musk blocked Ukraine from using Starlink in Crimea over concern that Putin could use nuclear weapons, political analyst says

Yeah, the concerns over the previously talked about Starlink shortages is growing.
