These Republican rightwingers – reflecting the affinity of their political idol, the former president Donald Trump, for the Russian president, Vladimir Putin – have grown openly hostile to Ukraine’s cause.
Fucking moronic traitors. Unbelievable the republicans have caved utterly and completely to russia.
This asshole doesn’t even have the balls to state plainly what he’s doing. Delaying Ukraine aid for as long as humanly possible, to the point of dodging meetings with some of the US’s most important allies. Absolute coward with innocent blood on his hands.
The HUR thinks it can disable the bridge soon. “We will do it in the first half of 2024,” one official told the Guardian, adding that Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the main directorate of intelligence, already had “most of the means to carry out this goal”. He was following a plan approved by Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, to “minimise” Russia’s naval presence in the Black Sea.
Over the past five months Ukraine has sunk seven landing boats and large ships belonging to Moscow’s Black Sea fleet. The latest, the Sergei Kotov, capsized in March after a night-time raid involving 10 Ukrainian Magura V5 amphibious drones packed with explosives as it was on patrol south of the Kerch bridge. HUR officials indicated this was a “shaping operation” prior to another attack on the crossing.
Another interesting piece of the article:
Pro-Kremlin Russian channels last month released an intercepted phone call in which high-ranking German military officials discussed the capabilities of Taurus. The experts estimated that 10 to 20 missiles would probably be enough to destroy the bridge.
I am not that sure here.
Moscow will of course hide any evidence that could attribute to ISIS. they already started to blame Ukraine. For obvious reasons.
But the timing is really bad for a terror attack.
Putin has consolidated his power with the fake elections, and they are supporting hamas terrorists in Gaza.
My bet is on FSB here, and that ISIS is just hitchhiking.
