Traffic on the single bridge that links Russia to Moscow-annexed Crimea and serves as a key supply route for the Kremlin’s forces in the war with Ukraine came to a standstill on Monday after one of its sections was blown up, killing a couple and wounding their daughter.

The RBC Ukraine news agency reported that explosions were heard on the bridge, with Russian military bloggers reporting two strikes.

RBC Ukraine and another Ukrainian news outlet Ukrainska Pravda said the attack was planned jointly by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Ukrainian navy, and involved sea drones.

      They’d have still gotten their shit blown up by Kyiv, who has been blowing up everyone who voted in a referendum to become Russian. Fucking christ am I the only one capable of remembering anything more than two fucking years old? Or is this another one of those “conveniently ignored” bits for y’all NAFO rimjobbers?

        Don’t worry, I remember what happened before 2014. I didn’t have any sympathy for separatists then and I don’t have now either.

          …So for the crime of wanting to separate from an increasingly-fascist government, you want their bridges blown up and their civilians turned into chunky salsa. You’re a fucking ghoul; and part of me wonders how you’d feel about American separatists when that day eventually comes.

            how you’d feel about American separatists

            If they want to join Canada or Mexico then the same. Independence =/= stealing for another country.

            you want their bridges blown up and their civilians turned into chunky salsa

            Nobody is forcing Russians to visit Ukrainian territory.

              You’re a fucking ghoul, and I pray you wind up having to live through the monstrosity you’d subject others to.

        That’s a bad faith argument if ever there was one. At that point Russia could walk into any country behind human shields and nobody would be allowed to do anything.

        There is a giant difference between targeting civilians and a couple civilians getting killed while targeting strategic infrastructure.

            The roadway is used by both. Don’t be more ignorant that you must.

            The nation these civilians were attacked in is at war so it is not by any definition a terrorist attack.

        No because unlike your examples, which are false equivalences, the bridge is in a nation actively at war. Those civilians died occupying land.

        If I die due to visiting an active war zone is it my fault?
