Bkk Brian Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Ukraine war: Biden says nuclear risk highest since 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis The risk of a nuclear "Armageddon" is at its highest level since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, US President Joe Biden has said. Mr Biden said Russia's President Vladimir Putin was "not joking" when he spoke of using tactical nuclear weapons after suffering setbacks in Ukraine. However, the US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan last week said that, despite Moscow's nuclear hints, the US had seen no signs that Russia was imminently preparing to use a nuclear weapon. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63167947 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosLobo Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Russians are fleeing their homeland in protest of Putin’s draft Russians are abandoning their families, trying to escape the war. At least 200,00 have arrived in Kazakhstan this week alone. Some Russian Corporations have a policy now of sending employees out of the country to help them escape the draft and the war. There are even Russian boat people arriving on US shores to avoid the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi49jr Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Ukrainian officials say that at least 180 bodies, including "whole families" with young children, have been discovered in a mass grave in Lyman less than one week after troops reclaimed the formerly Russian-occupied city. As the Ukrainian army liberates more towns and villages, we can probably expect many more of these horrible finds. https://www.newsweek.com/whole-families-among-180-bodies-found-mass-grave-lyman-ukraine-1750064 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like both lanes of the road are damaged too likely with a lot of unseen structural damage. Edited October 8, 2022 by LosLobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarraMarra Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Something is wrong here looks like a truck was taken out with an explosion no sign of a Tanker Exploding in this Vid or a train pulling fuel tanks behind it. Reports on Sky news say's a small section of the bridge has collapsed but not confirmed. Either way, heavy tanks and Artillery will not be entering Ukraine from Russia if this is seriously damaged.

If it's only a small section damaged it's no problem to bridge that. Armies have things called bridges to be used in such situations. Used to be called Bailey bridges.

Popular Post Bkk Brian Posted October 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2022 Being reported now that one road lane of the bride is open to light traffic and the railway bridge will soon be repaired. So a few more strikes need to be planned for in the future! At the very least it is a huge propaganda victory for Ukraine, its not scared of Russia's nuclear threats. Quite right to. Have to wait and see now what Putin has in store as retribution, more mass shelling of civilian infrastructure no doubt.

The blast on Europe's longest bridge - a symbol of Russia's annexation of the peninsula from Ukraine in 2014 - killed three people, investigators say. The victims were in a nearby car when a lorry blew up, Russian officials claim. See more: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63183404 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that got hit is the one that has a road and train tracks. The trains are a very important means of transporting materiel destined for Kherson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
