So who dunnit? Who is behind today's bombing of the Kerch Strait Bridge that links southwestern Russia with the Crimea?
Coming mere days after Ukrainian Puppet President Zelensky was very publicly running his mouth about the need to make preemptive attacks on Russian territory, the finger of blame obviously points squarely towards Kiev as the culprit.
But more than that, it plainly points even farther afield, to Brussels, London, Washington-DC, Paris, etc. After all who has been arming the Ukrainian military with billions of dollars worth of weapons and sending thousands of mercenaries and military "advisors" to the Ukrainian war theater? Being that Zelensky doesn't so much as fart without getting the green light from his NATO/EU/Pentagon/CIA/MI-6 handlers, there is no doubt that this is a conspicuous deepening of the western bloc's military provocations against Russia.
As it happens, bombing the Kerch Strait Bridge is roughly analogous to bombing --oh, let's say, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel that carries traffic between Norfolk-VA and the Eastern Shore of Virginia, at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Needless to say, if the Russians bombed that bridge, all hell would break loose.
Equally so, the bombing of the Kerch Strait Bridge represents a dangerous crossing of a Russian red line: a violent attack against a vital transport artery within Russian territory.
This is no small matter. Russian retribution is certain, probably within days at the most.
Take a look at the first train to cross the damaged bridge after hasty repairs:
Fourteen, green, very solid, military-looking freight cars, followed by a tank car with the word, LOGISTICS, stenciled on the side. Given today's events, the freight cars probably contain weapons, and who can tell what sort of "LOGISTICS" are in the white tank car?
No doubt we will know more in the coming days.
Even before today's destructive blast on the Kerch Strait Bridge, the Russians were already well into the process of moving trainload after trainload of armor, missiles and other weapons into their new, formerly Ukrainian territories. This latest attack, especially coming so soon after Zelensky's very public braying earlier this week about making preemptive strikes on Russia, which itself followed by mere days the equally spectacular attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea (almost certainly carried out by the USSA Navy), means that war against Russia has de facto been declared.
That much is abundantly clear. The Kremlin has unquestionably gotten the message. I don't think there is any question that military conflict may greatly intensify from this juncture, perhaps in unanticipated ways.
I absolutely need and gratefully! accept any and all donations. Everything that we have known in our lifetimes is about to go bye-bye and will never be back again, not ever. I know that I keep repeating this like a mantra, but it is nonetheless true. If you are able and willing to donate I really do need your support at this time in order to better prepare. The USSA and Europe are going to get royally hammered, and also indirectly Ecuador, but with any luck, life here in South America will continue on (you know, papayas, potatoes, mangoes, bananas, avocados).
