Video of the explosion. There's is indeed a lorry driving as it explodes so that report may be true. Suicide bomber? Could be a disgruntled Chechen or Dagestani. Could be a Ukrainian too we may never know. 

Seen another theory it may be an exploding boat. 


Another video

The ukrainians have claimed responsibility, cue panic in crimea.

If a nuke doesn't drop within the next week in response can we stop the fear mongering? Crimea and the 4 newly annexed regions are Ukraine.

Was it not a lorry rigged with explosives and it spread to a train fuel tanker. One section completely collapsed and the train line probably needs repairs. Great news. Good thing the other section didn't collapse. Gives the Russian planters in Crimea a chance to return to Russia before the whole thing goes boom.

Where was all this anti special military operation  rhetoric when Russia was lining up at the border and eventually invaded? 
or in agent B6’ case …

That video doesn't make it look like the explosion came from the truck though does it? Hard to see how the explosion like that would cause a collapse. You'd have thought the explosion would need to have been underneath or to the side of the bridge to structurally damage it the way it did 
They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

Crimea has a 15% Ukrainian demographic. 

It has a huge Russian majority

I have been consistently anti war. Unlike your celebration of destruction. 

John Hume was denounced as a terrorist sympathiser by the gutter media when he correctly engaged in initial dialogue. Dialogue creates peace. Hardliners produce graves.

The blast claimed the lives of 3 innocent civilians.

The moral high ground becomes much more attractive after the second best army in the world has morphed into the second best army in the Ukraine.

To reiterate. At no point have I celebrated such an act. And I challenge you to find any post which has endorsed this war. I am an observer. I am looking at this from all angles yet I have to continually counter a very particular and ptopogandised narrative which is then interpreted as support for Russia. 

My call for diplomacy is seen as being a Russian bot, which is just indescribably infantile and displays the level of geopolitical ignorance on here.

To call an attack which claimed the lives of 3 innocent civilians  as 'great news' should be called out and I make no apologies for that.

@Bot#B6

If you care so much about innocent lives your narrative should be constantly denouncing Putin. Your only Putin narrative on here is how he can't lose, he can't be backed into a corner, he'll use nukes before retreating, he will outlast the West so we must find peace. 

Also thanks to the likes of Putin, Crimea is currently  majority Russian. The Tatars and Ukrainians have either been run out or killed and replaced with Russian planter's. You also want Russia to Keep the Luhansk and Donetsk breakaway region's which before the war had voted majorly in Ukraines favour.

Europe will be very peaceful and functional when the last colonial empire is kicked out. The Brits, Spanish, Portuguese, french, Dutch, Japanese etc etc etc all seen sense either through force or from within but sadly Russia never got this reckoning. They still to this day want to create and expand their empire. 

This war is painful but bar Belarus and part of Moldova Europe will be free From the Russian empire and their supreme leaders aggression once and for all.

While I’m not demanding foolproof and silver bullet solutions, I would be interested to know what your road to ‘peace’ would entail. Or what course of action such ‘diplomacy’ would take to secure peace. Given what has happened over the past 10 months, the aggression beyond the scope of what would have been expected, invasion far beyond the understood territorial remit, and the threat of nuclear warfare when the expected results have not panned out from a Russian point of view.

1. An agreed set of neutral observers to oversee it.
2. A boundary commission to ascertain the true wishes of residents in disputed areas 
3. A non nuclear pact.
4. Removal of landmines
5. An agreed settlement sum for rebuild.

This will only be achieved by talking. Ultimately,  a removal of leaders is likely necessary, and includes Zelensky.
