Russia vs. Ukraine Part 2

[Hkindiana]

That seems like an excessive amount of shots for one man. But when the U.S. taxpayers are buying the ammo why not?

I saw TWO men in the video - both stalls were occupied, so divide the shots by two to get the bullet to dead Russian ratio

So why are we not trying to negotiate a peace deal.

More money for grifters in this nonsense.

Western and Russian reports of fractures within the Kremlin are gaining traction within the Russian information space, undermining the appearance of stability of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime. The Washington Post reported that US intelligence

If you believe a few on the internets.. the Russian Government has factionalized behind Putin. Some hawkish, and some wanting peace but fearing Putin..

Then there is a weird report of a Public conversion between Putin and... a History teacher of all things. Putin asked about the Pugachev Rebellion where Catherine the Great was challenged in the mid-1770s. It may show he doesn't trust his inner circle, and is worried about the same thing happening. Odd, not sure what to make of it. But its something different for sure.

good.
those threatening nuclear war SHOULDN'T feel comfortable.

"In a shocking turn of events on Wednesday, the Department of Health and Human Services announced the purchase of Amgen’s anti-radiation drug Nplate to the tune of $290 million. President Putin’s threats of Armageddon, it seems, have finally begun to take their toll."

Obviously anyone using the term Armageddon for this has no clue what the real battle of Armageddon is.

I'm thinking that if a bridge was partially destroyed in an active war zone the very last thing I would be doing is standing on the remaining span filming the destroyed spans!

In an unrelated story: Paul Pelosi bought a metric ****-ton of Amgen stock 5 days ago...

They're at war.
But apparently are surprised when someone fights back.

IKR and who gets to set the rules? Would Ukraine have a say in the use of a tactical nuke by Russia?

Crucial bridge linking Crimea to Russia collapses in suspected truck bomb attack

An explosion caused the partial collapse of a bridge linking the Crimean Peninsula with Russia on Saturday, damaging a key supply artery for the Kremlin's faltering war effort in southern Ukraine.

I know bridges from working with most of the bridge builders that worked in Indiana.

The repair will depend on the damage to the bridge piers. If undamaged, it will take much less time to fix. Weeks if they get motivated.

The 10th street bridge repair was done way faster than estimated but was over land and only a few precast beam sections and deck needed reconstruction. I think it was under 30 days. The piers were not damaged. I was impressed by all parties getting the job done. Those bridge forms for the precast are "standardize" and they did get to pouring them quickly. Concrete needs to cure X number of day before to be transported and lifted. Curing depends on many factors and it is now colder in that area.

For the same span, bridges over rivers take longer. Bridges over rough seas are more exciting due to the wind getting into the way of lifting parts. Who knows how close the barges with cranes or other heavy lift equipment is at this time.

I worked with a company in Vincennes that made the long and sometimes curved metal beams for highway projects. With materials in the inventory and time, those can be fabricated as fast as the metal cutting, and welding can be done. Again, setting them in place is the wild card.

They could fabricate and set a crude metal beam and metal deck bridge fairly quick if the piers are undamaged. 3 weeks or less with a national mobilization

The damage to the train bridge might not be that extensive. The bridge spans were most likely designed with the anticipated fire event we observed. It takes a huge thermal load to get deep into the concrete and damaged the rebar or tensioning matrix. Who knows if that damaged happened. I hope it did.

Just my two cents.

War is hell! Sad video not too graphic but what gun is he using. Seems to jam a lot. It didn't end well.
