Russian governors threaten missile attacks on Ukraine's 'big cities' in a 'desire to seek revenge' for the Crimea bridge explosion as top Putin propagandist calls for total war and return to brutal Stalinist-era operations | |

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
The bridge is a major artery for the Russian forces that control most of southern Ukraine's Kherson region and for the Russian naval port of Sevastopol. But Aksyonov claimed the peninsula had a month's worth of fuel and more than two months' worth of food, while Russia's defence ministry said its forces in southern Ukraine could be 'fully supplied' through existing land and sea routes. Rail traffic was restored to the bridge late last night, meaning it is unlikely the destruction will dramatically hinder Russian supply routes.
Mykhailo Podolyak alleged that Russia's FSB secret service and the defence ministry are at loggerheads in a bitter dogfight over the botched war and are trying to undermine one another's credibility. 'Isn't it obvious who made [the] explosion? Truck arrived from RF [Russian Federation],' he said. Meanwhile, a Western diplomatic source said the bridge attack could have been commissioned from inside the Russian establishment to fatally weaken Putin and trigger his toppling. 'It might be the SBU [Ukrainian secret service] but it also could be the first major sign of a bid from within Russia to incapacitate the Kremlin tsar,' the source said. | |

#3 Do the Russians ever ask themselves, "Are we the Baddies?" There's a video circulating of Russians executing Ukrainian civilians and dumping their bodies in a pit, just like the Nazis did. Won't repost as it's stuff of nightmares. But we're dealing with real fascists here - they have to be defeated. Ukraine can do it if it gets help. |
