    The Kerch Strait Bridge is falling down,
    falling down, falling down.
    The Kerch Strait Bridge is falling down
    my fair tankies.

    The collapse Putin's forces in Ukraine is inevitable. It is only a matter of time. I wish it was happening more quickly but the F-16 training only now got approved. So, the Ukrainians are having to slog it out in a ground war.

    Emergency incident reported on bridge linking Crimea with Russia
    By Josh Pennington and Alex Stambaugh, CNN
    Updated 11:41 PM EDT, Sun July 16, 2023

    CNN —
    An “emergency incident” has been reported on the Crimean Bridge, halting traffic on the only link between the annexed peninsula and Russia, a Moscow-backed official said Monday.

    Sergey Aksenov, the Russia-appointed head of Crimea, did not specify the nature of the incident.

    Writing on Telegram, Sergey Aksyonov, the head of the Russian administration in Crimea, said: "Traffic was stopped on the Crimean bridge. An emergency occurred in the area of the 145th support from the [Russia side of the bridge].​

    Nah. That bridge would probably be in much worse shape today after a couple of ATACMS strikes.

    That you don't understand the difference between Ukraine blowing the Bridge and NATO blowing the Bridge .. I can not help you.
    Ukraine blowing the Bridge an act of Terrorism .. NATO blowing the Bridge an Act of War .. being just one of these distinctions/differences.

    Zelenski gonna get the pee pee slap if he keeps up these acts of Terrorism .. now allowed to use those fancy missiles to attack the Mother Russia .. post 2014 borders :) Har Har Har. .. Sorry Zoomie .. Das ist Verboten .. "Terrorism" ..

    Why wouldn't Ukraine hitting it be an act of war? It is a strategic target to them. At the same time, it is not so much so to NATO since no NATO member is at war with Russia.

    It appears that President Vladimir Putin is halting the wheat safe-passage deal. Wheat being a world-wide commodity, we will soon pay a price for the destruction of the bridge.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well.
