The really crazy thing is, while I dont really disagree, I also can't imagine fighting a war where you can't make fun of the enemy.

Russia is insane, Putin is insane, the only reaction that make sense are insane.

Huh. I'd better google "painless suicide" while I still have internet. Or maybe I'll be one of the lucky ones and leave a shadow behind.

This didn't actually occur to me until I read this. It's a brilliant strategy. Show the world and particularly young Russians and Russian soldiers that Putin is a ridiculous human being and maybe they will stop respecting him so much.

Ukraine must have concluded they don't care about a mix of Russian speaking population in Crimea and most of the Russian forces would surrender rather than fight in the area/are willing to take those additional losses against Russian forces fighting with their backs to the wall in Crimea.

Here's a past background video on why they kept Kerch bridge around till this point.
He put out a follow-up video today:

So this was a suicide mission by a Ukrainian soldier. Can’t imagine the courage to do that. Just re emphasizes how out of touch our “freedom” protesters are / were.

I think the driver was just a Russian truck driver; if the truck was the source of the explosion (which is far from a given), I imagine he didn't even know what he was carrying.

while it's not certain yet it was the truck I have no doubt there are hundreds of Ukrainian's who have lost everything, wives and kids, to Russian bombs that are happy to end their grief-stricken lives this way, if it wasnt for the need for western aid I have no doubt the Moscow subway system would be a nail bomb filled slaughterhouse by now

That guards let the truck pass after inspection, the driver most likely was Russian
