There are numerous reports about a Ukrainian attack on the Kerch Bridge.

Very little has been confirmed, although that didn’t stop Twitter from exploding with excitement.

The reports variously say that the bridge is on fire, there were three big explosions, aerial and naval drones were involved, traffic has been halted on the bridge and the lights were turned out. We’ll probably have to wait until morning in Ukraine to find out what happened.

There does seem to have been a drone strike against an oil tanker about 30 miles south of the bridge.

And an American admiral piles on.

And there is already a video set to Alice In Chains’ “Rooster”

This video definitely holds nothing back. WARNING: It is graphic.

Belarus clearly leads Western militaries in table balancing.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Brilliant twist on an old tactic. Flooding an enemy’s country with counterfeit bills is a time-honored wartime tradition.

What attracts occupiers and collaborators the most? Money, of course!



"That is, money is a way to remind them that they are in Ukraine," the group members say.
