The Armed Forces of Ukraine struck the Antonivsky bridge to “ensure the status of not passable”

On the night of August 14, the Defense Forces of Ukraine struck the Antonivsky bridge in the Kherson Region once again.

Nataliya Humenyuk, a spokesperson for the press center of the Southern Defense Forces, stated this on the air of the telethon. A blow was struck again at the Antonivsky Bridge to “permanently secure its status as impassable.”

“We continue fire control over transport and logistics arteries in the temporarily occupied territory, as we have a clear intention to help the occupiers make the right decision and direct their next “gesture of good will” in the direction we need,” Humenyuk said.

For the most part Libertarians are only a pathway to the far left. Stick around a few decades and you will see. Even Ayn Rand said so, but that they were dumber than Marxists

Natural gas storage facilities in Germany are 75.43% full, the German gas infrastructure operator announced on Aug. 13.

EU Commission guidelines suggested EU gas storages should be 75% full by Sep. 1.

According to the announcement – as reported by German broadcaster DW – the commission’s recommendations were exceeded thanks to a reduction in German gas consumption and increased imports from north-western Europe.

The plan calls for German gas storages to be 95% full by Nov. 1, building a buffer against Russia potentially cutting gas supplies to Europe ahead of the winter season.

However, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is clearly still hoping to use energy blackmail to coerce the EU into renouncing its support for Ukraine.

Besides building up EU gas reserves, the commission has recommended EU member states reduce their gas consumption by at least 15%. If successful, the plan would make the bloc resilient to further Russian energy blackmail.



Dang, lets see:

Military culminated
Other guys getting better weapons*
*Other guys using better weapons to blow my shite up
Blackmail threat eliminated

and the US will make tons of money selling our weapons on the black market instead of sending them to the front lines. Which is what’s going on.


So I assuming you have supporting evidence besides gut feeling?

This libertarian is not, you fricking imbecile. Freedom is worth fighting for, and Russia is the antithesis of freedom. I don't know a libertarian that isn't strongly in support of Ukraine.

Putin has screwed Russia economically it would have been a fantasy of Gen Patton.

Germany's natural gas storage is at 75% and expects to be at 95% by Nov 1, which is enough for 3 months without any imports. Five each FLNG terminals have been leased and should be ready to receive by Jan 1 just for Germany.

A full 1/3 of Russia's economy relies on exports to Europe. That cannot be replaced by exports to other areas of the world without $billions spent on new pipelines across 10's of thousands of miles including through and over frozen tundra and high mountain ranges.

Google Arming Ukraine(another accidental reveal, then deleted tweet)…there’s a rough estimate of 30% of the weapons actually make it the front lines and those on the ground observing say they don’t know where, this “historic flow of weapons”(Your presidents words) is going.

The amount of weapons that will be left in East Ukraine will make Afghanistan look like Woodstock. Not counting all the new terrorist cells armed with our weapons after this.

But at least the heroes in Washington DC will get rich. So good for our economy!

Are you citing the now retracted CBS article that was about humanitarian goods from around April based on one guy's guesstimate?

What’s tragic about this is not realizing that it’s not you vs me in any of this. It’s us (citizens) vs them (politicians)

Congrats on carrying their water, boy.

Retracted because it told the truth? frick yes I am. They built an entire fricking documentary about it, then attempted to bury it and re edit it, when smart people pointed it out.

Russia can’t be defeated in war?

Only if they are removed from power from within. If they perceive an existential threat then they will use small grade tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield. I suspect our leadership knows this as they have since about 1950. But the widespread use of tactical nuclear weapons is likely a more palatable choice for Russia now that they are getting backed into corners.

I hate Russia by the way.

So you have no sources other than your gut because the one source you think you have doesn't even prove your point because

A) it was about humanitarian goods not military
B) was from 1 single person who gave a guesstimate with no numbers
C) was retracted

But because you think it was 100% true you think it got retracted because it told the truth and about military goods? Yep that sounds like solid analysis with no confirmation bias at all.
