So, just to be clear from how the rest of the world views this.

Intentionally attacking infrastructure is against the rules of war. Ukraine violated this rule. Hence, Russia is now free to destroy Ukraine's infrastructure.

Nothing good will come from this.

Putin put all the naysayers to my arguments in their place.

Additionally, Putin showed considerable restraint in the number of attacks launched against the Ukrainian infrastructure. The attacks were a "measured" response to the terrorist attack that the Ukraine mounted.

You can root for the underdog, but if you're gonna put down money bet on the winner.

Putin misused the word "terrorist" here.

Terrorism isn't the deliberate murder of random people. Terrorism is the trying to force the population into a political decision by inciting terror in the population.

Antifa and BLM engaged in terrorism. Shock and Awe was terrorism. The government labeling parents that object to school curriculum as "terrorists" is terrorism. The threat of nuclear war with Russia is terrorism. Our government engages and promotes terrorism as long as it is in their interests.

waiting on our government to redefine nuclear apocalypse as victory, we good at redefining failure in positive light lately.

I didn't read the link. Fine if they're driving on it. Doesn't mean it won't go to shit and collapse.

I presume you've been to a 2nd or 3rd world country? Roads and infrastructure are something I and my wife know. There's no way that bridge is stable. They just fucking need the thing open at this point. Doesn't mean it's remotely safe. Shit, we had a major interstate in Minnesota crumble over the Mississippi and that didn't even get bombed. As usual it's propaganda. It literally could have just been retarded Russians that mishandled explosives during war time as well.

The photos I've seen of that bridge, the structural integrity is absolute shit on the deck. I wouldn't drive over it with or without war.

I'm amazed at how much you think you know about every topic in the world. Now you're an engineer?
