This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

While I share this sentiment, it may be best to let the trolls a way out. Hopefully the exiting traffic will be non-stop until the end of this little dust up. But wait, will there be enough fuel for evacuation? The orcs will prolly confiscate all remaining supplies (to be sold to highest bidders).
If they do finish it, wait for more military gear or trains to be in transit.
I wonder if that was a suicide mission. Had to be unless the driver jumped out and into another vehicle.This is a good read.
‘It feels inevitable’: Ukraine starts to believe it can win back Crimea
Even as Russia lays claim to more of the country, confidence is growing that the former territory can be retakenwww.theguardian.com
Before, Ukrainian officials said Crimea would be theirs again more out of hope than a firm belief it would actually happen. The same went for most western officials and diplomats, who privately suggested there was little chance of Kyiv ever restoring control.
Now, as Russia struggles on the battlefield in southern and eastern Ukraine, and cracks of dissent appear over president Putin’s unpopular mobilisation drive, some in Kyiv hope the writing is on the wall. “Everything began with Crimea and everything will end with Crimea,” said Zelenskiy, in an August speech.
The Crimea office was opened by Zelenskiy last year as part of a strategy known as the Crimea Platform, which is aimed at envisioning eventual Ukrainian control over the territory. Sculptures by Crimean artists dot the gardens: one emits the sounds of waves and dolphins to evoke the seaside resorts of the peninsula. Inside, large photographs of spectacular Crimean landscapes and activists jailed by Russian authorities hang from the walls. Tasheva, a former rights activist who is Crimean Tatar, has been in the role since April this year.
Ukrainian officials say targeting Crimea is key to stopping the Russian war machine in other parts of occupied Ukraine, and Kyiv appears to have done so several times in recent months, most notably in early August, when several explosions rocked the Saky airbase.
“Crimea is the key base for their army reserves. It’s where they have their bases for ammunition, hardware and soldiers, so of course destroying these bases is a major part of de-blockading our territory,” said Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior aide to Zelenskiy.
I can’t keep up. Is that good or bad?
I doubt the driver had a clue what he was hauling. Likely a Russian.
I was thinking the same thing….Truck driver pulls over and jumps in a car that was following him. Either that or an autonomous driving truck with tinted windows and a mannequin at the wheel, compliments of Elon Musk.
Hard to believe they could clear the railway already as some videos claim to show.
"New bridge video from Russian journalists. Barrier"

....which would not put a dent in the gaps left by OPEC. They'd merely reduce more.
To complicate further-all trucks crossing are supposed to be inspected.
This is the ONLY permanent solution.
Wean ourselves OFF OPEC and oil, entirely.
When their influence over the world energy supply disappears, so does much of the world instability caused by them.
Probably a coincidence but it seems like we are seeing more of the attacks on storage and railways again. Just like before the offensive
"Small skirmish towards Kherson on behalf of the Ukrainian military with a slightly wounded..."
Where would we be if we'd started a Manhattan Project for clean energy and EVs back in the 1990s?
If we'd done this with renewables and EVs 20+ years ago, we'd be off oil for our transportation sector by now.
That's the pre-invasion force.
They tested our defenses, and found a very large gap.... 👀
Sure
You'd destroy modern civilization in the process, but it'd eliminate everyone's dependence on fossil fuels.
WW IV will be fought with sticks arrows and spears then.
There are two rail lines on the bridge. The tracks that had the burning train on it are to the left, out of sight. At best, they will be running lighter wagons (like passenger) very slowly only on the one set of rails. So significantly slowed/reduced rail traffic, and it's unknown if they will be able to haul military loads of ammo and armor without lengthy repairs.
What part of this do you not comprehend? The US doesn't have, nor have access to enough lithium to support our population going EV, the mining for said lithium is incredibly damaging, they can't power the chargers w/o fossil fuel, and there is no sustainable way to dispose of batteries on that scale yet either.
Russia is so f'd. I'd expect a lot of news this week
When the ammo and armor show up, call in Ole Uncle HIMARS for a little get together. He especially enjoys night gigs.
We are choosing between 80 year old men. It’s not fair.
SMDH.
Five years ago I would have thought this line of thinking to be unreal. These people are breeding like rabbits.
For those who avoid the Russian bots, this is their BS word for word.
Yep. This is why politics sometimes creeps in here. Another common thing I hear from the MAGA crew is one of the signs of being “woke” is those having Ukraine colors in avatar or on Facebook or in yard etc….
