[@unclescipio3136]

It's kind of his own fault. Putin tends to shoot the messenger when they tell the truth. It's a hangover from Stalinism.

[@robertmaybeth3434]

That's not quite true. If Hitler had truly been unwilling to hear bad news, not one German officer would have followed him into a garbage dump, let alone into Russia. Hitler did not always, or often, generally kill the messenger i.e. punish those who merely brought him bad news - unless there was gross incompetence involved. Unlike his counterpart Stalin in 1941, and Putin now, Hitler had spent years on battlefields and knew all about them. And so was often prepared to make allowances for the "fortunes of war".

[@patriotzfinder]

@@robertmaybeth3434 Nah, he overruled Generals, you are wrong. Up until the Generals didn't bother to tell him anything anymore. There were Generals who went with Hitler up until the destruction of Berlin... Helmut Weidling, Rudolf Sieckenius, Kurt von Tippelskirch, Hellmuth Raymann, Wilhelm Mohnke. That's what Hitler wanted, personal loyalty, fighting to death, although he never rose to the rank of corporal, he always knew better than his Generals. Like Putin now, in a way. And you see the same patterns.

It was more so one guy who in general had a much worse vision for society sent specifically to Russia to cause a revolution with the people who were already suffering so they excepted his ideals with open arms.

I just want to shout to Putin's face: "WHY? WHY, THESE INNOCENT PEOPLE"?

[@eh1702]

He’d just smirk at your discomfiture. He is a person who revels in other people’s loss of composure. He lives by playing people off against each other. Why these innocent people is precisely BECAUSE they are innocent people. It demonstrates Russian ruthlessness. There is a long tradition or belief in Russia that it needs “a strong man” to govern. It’s an explicit doctrine that their leader should have no friends or allies, and that his top ranked people should all without exception fear his ruthlessness and capriciousness. They should not be able to read his moods or anticipate what he will do. And the poorest peasant in the furthest corner or the Russian empire should fear and worship the leader no less. The doctrine says that Russia is so large only one man can make the decisions, otherwise regions begin to follow coherent policies of their own, and in doing so begun to establish their own social/poliyical identities: and thus become emergent nations. This is not to be tolerated. And this is why Tatarstan’s declaration of independence was nipped in the bud, why Chechnya was crushed, why parts of Georgia and Moldova were “helped” by being garrisoned with Russian troops, and why Ukraine is not to be permitted to even remain as a word in history textbooks.

I heard that it should take some time to reopen the railway because engineering assessments would have to be made to find out if the structure was seriously compromised. I can only assume that the railway bridge wasn't as badly damaged as at first thought, or that Russia is throwing caution to the wind because they need that bridge. I hope the Ukrainians can get there pretty soon and completely sever that artery.

A Tribute to Ukraine The Fight Where were you when the walls came crumbling down. Fearing for our lives In our home towns. Where children once played Laughter was everywhere We now find graves Seems like only...we care. But now, We're standing side by side Defending arm in arm Praying for our lives. And now, We're standing toe to toe Fighting hand to hand Dying for our nation's soul. Instrumental 🎶 If we lose. If this was our last fight. I promise you We didn't run and hide. Only one way to live Head high and full of pride What we would give Our blood and tears we cried. But now, We're standing side by side Defending arm in arm Praying for our lives. And now, We're standing toe to toe Fighting hand to hand Dying for our nation's soul. Instrumental 🎶 A burst of lightning coming from the morning sky confuses all We will not run and hide. But now, We're standing side by side Defending arm in arm Praying for our lives. And now, We're standing toe to toe Fighting hand to hand Dying for our nation's..... And then, There's one thing that remains. Fight until the death Fight for our Ukraine. But now, Our prayers were not met By those who stood by By those who would forget. .

The blast could just as likely been caused by Russia's own munitions packed into a conscripted truck by poorly trained personnel who didn't properly secure the load. Note that the truck is starting to climb an incline, which could have caused the poorly secured load to slide. The quick assumption that Ukraine was responsible overlooks other possibilities, but I could understand why Putin would be embarrassed to admit he blew up his own bridge.

[@kenadams5504]

Yes , there is no evidance that the ukranians caused this. The video footage comes from a peculiarly positioned camera , too.why would there just happen to be a camera pointed from the sea , to the exact place of the blast ?. Was this because the Russians choregraphed it themselves ?. Also , the 80 missiles could have been prepared in advance, and then falsely described as "retaliation " . These guys are masters at staging stunts to manipulate public opinion (propaganda) , and make an 80 missile terror attack on non-military targets , appear like a vindicated retaliation. If this were true , it wouldnt be the first deception from this source.

[@peterbeyer5755]

Russian conscripts are required as the Russian army and equipment only existed on paper, yet the ghost army and equipment would have been paid for, who was being paid? which accounts and were were these accounts.
