  • Can you sauce this with some context? Is the Crimean bridge a propaganda/extending Russo-imperialism project for Russians, as the kerch bridge was before the funni?

    No, no. Nothing of that sort.

    The Chonhar bridge connects Kherson oblast to Crimea.
    The problem is that this bridge one of the very few locations that Russians can use https://i.imgur.com/lluvBfW.png

    The bridge that they just bombed is the one shown in red. Dark blue puts Russians well within HIMARS range, while light blue puts them just barely at the end of that 50km HIMARS range.

    The other option that Russians can use to get to Crimea is through Kerch bridge.

    Imho, the bombing of the Chonhar bridge should be seen as the official start of the coming Siege of Crimea.











  • Li told journalists China wants closer economic cooperation with Germany but avoided any mention of Russia or Ukraine.

    Europe must start to ween itself off from China, now its the time. We shouldn’t repeat the same bs we did with Russia.
    There are other better trade partners out there.

    In an apparent reaction to those plans, Li warned that “deglobalization flares up again.”
    He said, “We should maintain the tradition of mutually beneficial cooperation and uphold the multilateral trading system and industry and supply chain stability.”

    No, we shouldn’t Mr. Li.







  • Btw the reason most of these news companies use quotation marks for things like “traitor”, “sexual assault” is not to show that they disagree with a particular stance.
    They do it to show that they themselves aren’t calling someone a traitor, instead they are quoting someone else who calls that person a traitor. So that way they are not implicating themselves in case problems arise.

    Otherwise they can have legal consequences if the things that they say about a certain person lead to that person suing them. This way they can easily say “hold on, we didn’t call you a traitor, it was those people, we were just quoting them”

    Or at least that’s how it is to my knowledge. (aka covering my ass in case I’m wrong :)) )
