Three in One and One in Three.

Road traffic over the Kerch bridge is limited to cars. Anything larger has to use the ferries.
-
Has he gone yet ?
-
It's not just the bridge; the level of paranoia around protecting every item of infrastructure the Russians now feel obligated to defend, the number of checkpoints at every major transport junction, and the generally increased security Police presence in Crimea will only serve to swell the uneasiness among the imported Russian population there.
-
Sabotage, false flag, or stealth boat - it almost certainly wasn't a truck bomb. The timing, being the day after Putin's birthday, is no coincidence, and neither was the target, one of his personal pet projects. As for the Russians not needing an excuse, true, but they need to reinvigorate popular support for the war after the conscription fiasco, and even their domestic news programs have become far less positive in their outlook over the past couple of weeks.

1) "And yet people say Ukraine is winning" - yes they probably are, just like the Alies in 1944. The similarity is clear. 2) The psychology of the attack is crucial to both sides ; positive to the people suffering the direct impact of Russian atrocities, negative to Russians who are complacent if not complicit about Putin's despotism. It is the sort of negative news that Rossiya 1 cannot gloss over or ignore.
-
I don't expect the Russians to make the truth about the attack public. Either they did it themselves, or the reality is far too embarrassing.
-
1) When the V-1 and V-2 rockets were hitting London during WW2, who was winning the war ? 2) Does Ukraine have an alternative to fighting with every means at it's disposal ?
-
Putput throwing a tantrum as a number of 'Serbian car accidents' hit across Ukraine. And they accuse Ukraine of terrorism.
-
Because they only have to fool Russians, (and Manji ). ( However, this is almost certainly a meme: Google Semen Hydenko and Sam Hyde. )
-
The worry is not the Russian army, that's down to Putin; it's the tens of thousands of civilians displaced or homeless across the combat zone without electricity or other utilities, who are out of reach of humanitarian support.
-
The problem is they would be launching their nukes, ( assuming they are more reliable than the rest of their armoury ), at us.
-
The only struggle round here is trying to make sense of your ramblings. Oh, and you didn't respond to my request for justification of the Russia terrorism against their own citizens, ( at least as defined by Putler and his enablers ).

You spout such bollocks. They haven't repaired it, just as it wasn't 'destroyed'. It was, however seriously damaged; they are allowing limited numbers of light vehicles across, one direction at a time, across the carriageway that didn't collapse into the sea. Similarly with the rail bridge - one track is operating for limited weight of traffic, the other is out of action because they can't start repairing it until they have cut away the waggons that have welded to the track. then replaced the underlying structure that was warped by the fire. Here's one for you - justify the missile attacks on the civilian population of Zaporizhzhia in the last couple of days, given they have officially become citizens of your puppet master. Or is that all staged by the Ukrainians, and the dead women and children all actors ?

Why bother debating whether Truss' policies were part of an election manifesto. Most things Governments do were never in a manifesto, and many things in a manifesto never get done. As for 'electing' the PM, nobody does it. The Post of Prime Minister is awarded on the prerogative of the Monarch; usually this happens after a GE when,with the assistance of the Privy Council, the Monarch asks the MP most likely to command a majority in the Commons if he/she wishes to attempt to form a Government. If there is no clear majority, as with Cameron's first term, it will come down to who is likely to form a majority coalition - as leader of the largest party DC was asked, however it would equally have been possible for the Labour leader to try. If a PM leaves office during his/her term, the process of selecting a successor follows the same process; logically the successor within the majority party will get the request. How each party chooses it's leader in The House is entirely up to it, they can draw straws or play Rock Paper Scissors if they so wish.

This thread is just a cut and paste of every other new player critique. They are never good enough.

They fancy pipe playing blokes with horns on their heads and goat's legs ?

Corrected.

If City has scored from the corner that went out off Foden's boot, would VAR have chalked it off ?

Six defenders in the box yet nobody covering the far post or Mahrez.

Saw it late as it came through several defender's legs.
