Why leaving was not only the right thing but the smart thing to do.
This is why the assets of any rich Russian anywhere in the world should be forfeit, sold and used to support Ukraine in the war, and in the rebuild.
Yachts, penthouses, etc.
Screw 'em.
This guy has a couple of books out that are really good reads. They will leave little doubt about how we got here in terms of our political situation here. The amount of evil in Russia and its influence on our country is mind blowing.
“I couldn’t imagine something like this,” said a Ukrainian private named Serhiy, part of a unit that rescued the soldiers wounded by the explosions. “I thought mines would be lain in lines. But whole fields are filled with them, everywhere.”

Small, Hidden and Deadly: Mines Stymie Ukraine’s Counteroffensive
ORIKHIV, Ukraine — It was a grisly scene of bloody limbs and crumpled vehicles as a series of Russian mines exploded across a field in southern Ukraine. One Ukrainian soldier stepped on a mine and tumbled onto the grass in the buffer zone between the two armies. Nearby lay other Ukrainian...
Russia seems to have misplaced a span of the Kerch Bridge. That’s too bad.
Ruh roh, Shaggy.
CNN reports that…
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.
Last October, a huge blast partially damaged the bridge, causing parts of it to collapse.
“Law enforcement agencies and relevant services are at work. I spoke to the Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Vitaly Savelyev, and measures are being taken to ameliorate the situation,” Aksenov said.
Igor Mikhailichenko, deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea, has gone to the scene, he added.
Aksenov urged residents and those traveling to and from Crimea to choose an alternative land route.
If this bridge thing is true, looks like I'll be fapping tonight. Please God make this true.
As with several things that have gone too slowly, I hope that behind the scenes some groundwork for training and opening supply lines have been started.
Burn, Bitches.
Why do you think they park their money in the West? We have strong property rights. The Feds, and more importantly Putin, can’t get at the money once you buy a condo in London, Miami or NYC.
Winner of the internet today. Congrats!
BOOOM. Things are about to get spicy.
BBC talks a bit…
www.bbc.com
Vyacheslav Gladkov, governor of the western Russian region of Belgorod, later said in his own Telegram statement that two people, the parents of a young girl, had died in the incident - which he, too, simply labelled an "emergency".
Russia's transport ministry has said the explosion did not damage the bridge's supports and that only the road surface had been affected.
BBC Russian reports that the ferry crossing that runs parallel to the bridge has been closed, while Russia state media agency TASS cites the local rail operator as saying train traffic may be affected.

Bad news is it looks like only one side is down.
This angle makes it look "better"-gap on good side in roadway so maybe it is unusable.
(Or naval drones.) Some say Putin's birthday is in October
"Soldiers #tchétchènes continue the fight alongside the #Ukraine against the invaders #russes . As a result of the operation, the invaders' military equipment and personnel were destroyed."
"The moment of arrival (tide) over the so-called Crimean bridge!"
May be Russian propaganda to blame the West.
They wouldn't know what hit the bridge this soon IMO if it was an underwater attack..
Russia has officially ended the grain export agreement. I don't know what they might put into effect in order to actually restrict shipments, or if this is simply a negotiating ploy. Time for the Turks to put their words into action if Russia moves to restrict shipments. Time for the West to rethink their options, too. Either focusing more efforts on exporting via ports that border Romania, or creating a safe corridor out using air and sea power with NATO members with access to the Black Sea.

Launched from a civilian vessel? I’m not sure I like that. Gives Russia cover for blowing everything up in the Black Sea.
There is definitely confusion on how it was done-a US general thought it was truck bombs, some of the Russians claimed the regular surface naval drones, this claims it was a drone submarine and there is video that sounds like missiles coming in. The Russians are blaming the UK and US for helping (which I hope they did) so planting something like this makes sense. But someone said they saw the same info claiming a drone sub from a French source so who knows!
