    We are seeing multiple theories of what caused the Kerch Bridge blast. Everything from a underwater drone, to a missile, to a truck bomb. The truck bomb theory is taking more skepticism after detailed analysis of the scene appears to show the truck was 200-300 meters from the source of the blast when it occurred. Another theory is the underwater drone, this article explores that theory.

    Kerch Bridge blast 'could have been caused by water drone bomb supplied by the US'
    Independent military researches have surveyed footage of the explosion and have reported that the Kremlin's claims suggesting Ukraine had supplied a truck-based bomb are likely incorrect

    Tell us is the Russian retreat from Kherson an "artistic performance"?

    I wonder how many bodies of civilians will be found in mass graves after Ukraine takes the city.





    Yep, it looks like Russia will evacuate the Russian FSB dependents and the collaborators from Kherson. They have not real intent of evacuating civilians who support Ukraine.

    This is a very good, but aklso a very shocking article written by a Russian who had to leave Russia, lives now in France and survived already a few attempted liquidation by Russia.
    I post the original article and a translation from Google as most people do not understand Russian language.

    And here the english version:
    Vladimir Osechkin

    About the conspiracy. Inside from a trusted source. In the coming days, during Vladimir Putin's visit to Astana or immediately after his return from there, serious reshuffles in the power bloc may take place in Moscow, which will change the positions of many generals for many years (or rather, forever). Some will get all the power in their hands, others will go to the bunk or to the next world.

    On October 8, 2022, a terrorist attack occurred on the Crimean bridge (Wind of change had previously warned of a possible terrorist attack). And despite the fact that they want to reduce everything to Ukraine, in fact, the trail leads in the opposite direction and we can talk about a conspiracy and a special operation. Those who prepared the explosion are connected with those who prepared personnel decisions to strengthen Surovikin and his team.

    On the same day, 10/08/22, formally Shoigu, and informally Putin, appointed General of the Army Surovikin to the post of commander of a grouping of troops in Ukraine. And here it is important to understand - who previously "did business" with Surovikin in Syria and who grew up with him and became more powerful.

    The answer is Prigozhin. Together with whom did he attack one general (Lapin) and create a springboard to reinforce another general (Surovikin)? Together with Kadyrov, and they did it in concert and preparing

    ground for personnel changes.

    The source reports that this trinity is acting in concert and smoothly, and they are going to power. The project of lobbied decisions includes the appointment of Surovikin as the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. Prigozhin - the director of the FSB, Kadyrov - the director of the FSVNG. All three are merciless, treacherous, powerful, and the three of them have the strongest force grouping capable of capturing the plate in a matter of hours.

    However, there is also the other side of the coin. There are no fools in the FSB, and hardly anyone will be waiting for the arrival of Prigozhin or Kadyrov with gangs of criminals. Moreover, the source reports that investigators have already collected a lot of materials that indicate the involvement in the attack of persons associated with one of the above characters. In addition, there are huge folders with a detailed description of hundreds of crimes committed by Prigozhin, and decisions are already ready to seize the arsenal and lands from Prigozhin and his so-called "PMC Wagner". More precisely, he does not have any lands, just as there are no PMC training centers in the Rostov region and Krasnodar Territory based on the institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service and Military Unit 51532. All this was provided for certain purposes temporarily and unofficially. And to close the secret project -PMCs can in a matter of days.

    Moreover, there is no guarantee that Surovikin will not go over to the FSB and Shoigu at the last moment, and instead of a conspiracy, he will help to detain and arrest Prigozhin and his entourage, who, with their ambitions, a film with self-promotion of PMCs, a hatred against the military and hundreds of crimes, have already got everyone in Moscow.

    The coming days and weeks are of great importance for the future not only of these power groups, but for all of Russia and Ukraine as well.

    Also in the near future we will tell you how the Federal Penitentiary Service is preparing for the transfer to Ukraine about 50% of the personnel of special forces departments and detachments, as well as which assault squads of which DOS of the Federal Penitentiary Service "worked with prisoners of war in the correctional colony in Yelenovka and the pre-trial detention center in Donetsk, discharging stun guns in 4 -8 times faster than the norm, and which units of the Federal Penitentiary Service work with Ukrainian prisoners of war in penitentiary institutions converted into concentration camps for prisoners.

    More laments from Russian propagandists. Again - consider - this is completely scripted. Every word. So, probably an indication of a big purge up top (except Putin of course). The typical Russian "the tzar is good, the boyars are at fault".

  7. Even though it is dangerous to stay, many of the Ukrainians will not want to flee Kherson City because the Ukrainians are coming and they want to stay if it falls under Ukrainian control. If they flee over into Russia they will end out in some kind of camp situation and their kids sent off to another ugly camp.

    If Russia were a civilized country- and it is not- they would mutually agree with the Ukrainians to let the civilians flee to whichever country they wanted just to get the non-combatants out of the line of fire.

    I bet if Russians told their soldiers they were free to flee as well that there would be a stampede.

    Russia drops offensive operations in Ukraine as they are about to lose Kherson. I guess the Russian military simply wants to terrorize civilians with missiles instead.

  9. Other than that, how did everyone enjoy the parade?

    Sheesh.

    In fairness to the Ruskie driving that armored carrier, he probably was working down at Arby's in Moscow last week. Or is it called Ivan's now?
