    If Putin's running trains over that bridge now, one of them's gonna do this number:

    De-Nazifying Ukraine by lobbing missiles into downtown Kyiv during rush hour. As countries reaching out in brotherly love are wont to do.

    A hundred cruise missiles fired at civilian targets is a hundred fewer that Russia will have with any military value. This is just another reason why Russia is destined to lose.

    If they think Ukraine will fold because their civilians have been attacked, they haven’t been paying attention.

    Looking forward to finding out just how much the US is involved in this thing. Obviously weapons, but I don't think anyone figured Ukraine's efforts would be so "creative" and effective. Was the truck bomb on the bridge a suicide bomber? A drone strike on a vehicle caring a homing signal? Just seems odd.

    Lukashenko runs more of a police state than Putin does. Anyone who objects probably won't see the outside of a prison cell again.

    Ukraine has been scrupulous in not taking the war into Russian territory, likely on US instruction. They might not be so scrupulous about Belarus. Lukashenko has no nukes. He also has a citizenry, and hence military rank and file, of dubious loyalty. Secret police can't fight a war and repress the citizens at the same time. Same problem Putin has, needing the most loyal armed force to control the people at home rather than at the front, except worse.
