An image posted along with the video appears to show minor damage the the roadway possibly from debris flung into the air from the explosion. The critical question is the condition of the piling below water level.

ALERT Multiple reports of Ukraine hitting the Crimean Bridge. This time underwater with 1,100 kg of explosives. Commenting on the Russian delegation's attitude in Turkey, Zelenskyy suggested a couple more happenings might nice them up.

The Tu-95 and Tu-22 long range bombers are used to launch big cruise missiles like the Kh101 targeted at a children's hospital (below). Smaller jets can't launch them. The AWACs are used to protect their assets during attacks. This is a primary means for Russia to penetrate deep in to Ukraine. They are in steady use. Days before the attack, reports suggested Russia was preparing an extra heavy attack of these deadly cruise missiles. Ukraine's attack on Russian bombers was probably the most justified defensive attack ever, as if an invaded country needs justification. Stop supporting killer Putin. Tu-95 and Tu-22 bombers (with missiles), and A-50 AWACs plane. Tu-95 (top left) with Kh101 cruise missiles. Tu-22 (top right) with Kinzhal missiles.

And, I have explained why three times now, with AI checks and many references. Again you skip my point. From your ChatGPT explanation: Arakhamia emphasized that Johnson's advice was not an order but rather a recommendation, and that Western allies, including the UK, had consistently advised against entering into security guarantees with Russia that were not credible at the time . Exactly.. and I have told you why they were not credible, because Putin.

https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/fact-sheet-istanbul-protocol-draft-document-april-15-2022 Lie by omission again, and fog rebuttal ignoring my point. I address my original point, posted February 28 to wit: .. it was never agreed, which exposes one Putin lie when he held up a draft and said Ukraine had signed it. He was referring to the head negotiator's initialing the draft. .. The big lie was Putin's requirement that all guarantors must give unanimous written consent before anyone aids Ukraine against another Russian invasion. Duh. That required Russia to agree to being attacked. Another Putin fib, i.e., that there was ever a legitimate agreement, and why the West recommended not signing, but Ukraine already knew. For your comfort, I again verified these facts by AI analysis including the below conclusions. I can PM you the full long analysis. Claim: Russia’s Demand for Unanimous Consent Was a Deal-Breaker AI Verdict: The claim that Russia’s demand for unanimous consent was a major obstacle is well-supported. This condition would have given Russia control over Ukraine’s defense, making the proposed security guarantees ineffective, which Ukraine and analysts recognized as a non-starter. Evidence of the Demand: Multiple sources confirm Russia introduced a condition requiring unanimous consent from guarantor states (including Russia, the US, UK, China, France, etc.) for any military response to an attack on Ukraine. This appears in the April 2022 draft, as noted by Wikipedia, Foreign Affairs, and the Wall Street Journal. Ukraine rejected this, as it would allow Russia to block aid in the event of another invasion, rendering security guarantees meaningless. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/03/1/7444515/ https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/fact-sheet-istanbul-protocol-draft-document-april-15-2022 Claim: No Agreement Was Finalized, and Putin Lied About Ukraine Signing It AI Verdict: The claim that no agreement was finalized and that Putin misrepresented a draft as signed is supported by primary accounts from Ukrainian negotiators and secondary analyses. The initialing of drafts is a procedural step, not evidence of a binding agreement. Draft Status: The Istanbul Communiqué and subsequent drafts (e.g., April 15, 2022) were provisional documents, not finalized treaties. Ukrainian negotiator Davyd Arakhamia stated on November 24, 2023, that the Ukrainian delegation lacked the legal authority to sign a binding agreement, as this would have required a meeting between Presidents Zelenskyy and Putin. No such meeting occurred, and no final agreement was signed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_negotiations_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine LOL your reference!

You keep saying this but leave out the full story, which I've posted before. The West warned Zelenskyy the agreement was a trap because no guarantor could take any action to protect Ukraine if Russia attacked again unless all guarantors signed off. Thus, Putin would have to agree to attacking himself. Again quintessential Putin.

Russia has been regularly attacking Ukraine and civilian targets with the very same Tu-22M3 and Tu-160 strategic bombers while the A-50 coordinated air operations and detect air defenses. Recent evidence suggested Russia was preparing a much larger scale attack using these same aircraft, possibly to overshadow upcoming negotiations, quintessential Putin. One must have a special love for Russian propaganda to not understand Ukraine has a right and obligation to defend itself from Putin's stone age war of territorial conquest and annihilation.
-
Bwa ha ha. Maybe Russia shouldn't use long range strategic bombers to mass bomb civilians in Ukraine. 41 bombers so far. Russia is was using long range bombers because they are were far out of reach. Genius idea, Use large trailer trucks filled with fiber optic drones and park with in range of bases (5 so far). Threat of nuclear war just went down. No weakened power would start tossing nukes around. The best news is kids in Ukraine can sleep better.

Yep, watched again, and again he did not say what you initially quoted from the SLAY article. I,e., "He explains in the interview that his surgery is flooded with patients who have been led to believe they have “Lond Covid.” However, he notes that the vast majority of those patients are actually suffering from an injury caused by the Covid mRNA" So if you come across where he says that let me know. You may think changing facts a little is OK. In real science it's a cardinal sin. As I said, I agree with everything Redfield did say. Also that it came from a lab, I've known since Jan 16, 2020. Your SLAY article: https://slaynews.com/news/ex-cdc-director-long-covid-mrna-vaccine-injury/

That' like what my wife said! When it starts to rain, pollution like PM 2.5 is washed out of the air along with viruses that may be present, she said. Studies in China have shone heavily polluted air can carry respiratory viruses. The other part is that getting cold and wet in the wind and rain can weaken your immune system. Particularly if it chills your nasal passage. Colds like, well, cold! They replicate better at 33C than 37C. No wonder they call it a cold.

Thailand's respiratory season, including influenza, aligns with the rainy season also because Thai are predominantly outdoors people but spend more time indoors when it rains. Not sure they fully understand though. Yesterday my wife and I walked 20 meters to a convenience store in a very light drizzle (you could count the drops on one hand) but she insisted we go back up 20 floors to get an umbrella. Asked why she said she might get a cold.

"He explains in the interview that his surgery is flooded with patients who have been led to believe they have “Lond Covid.” However, he notes that the vast majority of those patients are actually suffering from an injury caused by the Covid mRNA" Can you point me to the interview where he says this? I can't find it. The one minute sound clip in the SLAY article says something different including "... not saying the mRNA vaccines are not safe, lets just have an objective review... ". BTW, I like Redford a lot. His objectivity is well beyond many of our posters here...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_jet_engine "Years later, it was admitted by von Ohain in his biography that this was so (he was aware of Whittle's patent). Author Margaret Conner states ″Ohain's patent attorney happened upon a Whittle patent in the years that the von Ohain patents were being formulated". Von Ohain himself is quoted as saying "We felt that it looked like a patent of an idea" "We thought that it was not seriously being worked on." As Ohain's patent was not filed until 1935, this admission clearly shows that he had read Whittle's patent and had even critiqued it in some detail prior to filing his own patent and some 2 years before his own engine ran." But it's always like that. And, how can two crazies who spend their time trying to invent the same thing not become friends?
-
But all is mute, from your link! Jet engines can be dated back to the invention of the aeolipile around 150 BC. This device used steam power directed through two nozzles so as to cause a sphere to spin rapidly on its axis. Which is impressive as far as ideas go.
-
Well, the jet engine was actually invented and patented in England by Frank Whittle in 1930. The Germans later came up with the same idea in the mid 1930s and developed it rapidly going into WW2.

It's correct to say China's high-end jet engine industry is still well behind the rest of the world. There are many kinds of jet engines, ones used in commercial aircraft are called high bypass turbo fans. According to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chinese_aircraft_engines] (bottom box) China has few if any finished products currently in use. Whereas the West has been making these engines for decades. Many of China's early jet engines used for fighters were derived from Soviet technology or licensed. Commercial high bypass turbo fans are a big technology, materials, and manufacturing challenge because they must be powerful, very efficient, very quiet, and extremely reliable. If the next generation engine is 10% more efficient, the last generation is no longer useful.

Russia Dismisses Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan Offers 3 Day Ceasefire

This is not a "belief". This is the reality of the world. Just as the USA gets to determine how other sovereign nations conduct themselves, witness Panama being invaded when they sold secrets to Cuba, if those sovereign nations are in the US sphere of influence, so does Russia get to determine how other sovereign nations conduct themselves, if they are in the Russian sphere of inluence. And Ukraine conducted herself abominably, jumped into bed with hansum man America and then did a gangbang with Europe on top, when its boyfriend Russia was paying her energy bills. Cheating is an ugly betrayal, and Ukraine now pays the price. No. This is neither belief nor reality. It is a choice. One the West and free world must make. History, especially that of Russia and Vladimir Putin, has recorded the peril of allowing Putin to drag the world back to the gory glory days of slaughtering cultures and territorial conquest. Not viable with nukes. How does the West have the ability to chose? Because of NATO's 50 trillion GDP combined with other freedom loving countries. Putin is peanuts.
