I also just learned that several civilians were killed and that the guy who drove the truck may have been unaware of the explosives, so this is just an actual terrorist attack rather than a “legitimate” (from the most pro-Ukrainian perspective possible) target

yes, I’m two days behind and most of you probably already knew this, so what, wanna fight about it

    The thing that fucks me up is Ukraine did not fire a missile at this target – obviously they don’t have missiles with the range or that would not be intercepted by anti-air defences.

    But that’s not the point.

    The point is they hired someone to, knowingly or not, detonate a bomb on that bridge and die along with it.

    I honestly have no words to process this. There’s so many things happening at once in this one act, things that had been in the making for more than 8 years.

        In ten years time we will start having Ukranian terrorist cells in most of Europe committing homegrown terror.

          Just had an idea. What if the next step is for NATO/EU/US to invade Ukraine in a few years time to get rid of the terrorists they created, once they start leaking to Western Europe?

            Judging from the US playbook, they’ll play along the fascists terrorist cells as long as their interests coincide.

              True

              Being in Europe is gonna suck for the years to come.

      Yes, they hired someone who never knew about the attack. The preliminary results are that the truck was a part of a regular transport comlany hired to deliver a chemical cargo through a fake one-time organisation. The cargo iirc was filled with a reagent that can be used in regular industry, but can also be used to produce volatile explosives, so it didn’t really tick anyone off. As soon as the truck got on the bridge it was most likely remotely detonaged through an explosive device inside the cargo.

      Car bombs and suicide attacks; that is where we’re at now. But the Russians are the savages according to the blue checkmarks.
