The head of Crimea said that the new status of the liberated territories (after the referenda) will transform the special military operation in Ukraine into a counter-terrorist operation that would be carried out on those territories.

Hiram Johnson (USA). The full qoute is "The first casualty when war comes is truth". Coincidentally Johnson died on August 6th 1945 (of old age ) not in Hiroshima

Russian’s Foreign Ministry also accused Mr Zelensky of trying to provoke a nuclear war, with spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stating that “every person on the planet” should recognise that the “unbalanced” Ukrainian leader had turned into “a monster, whose hands can destroy the planet”,

Mr Zelensky said that NATO should “eliminate the possibility of Russia using nuclear weapons”.

“Don’t wait for Russia’s nuclear strikes, and then say, ‘Oh, since you did this, take that from us!’ Reconsider the way you apply pressure.

Roger Waters' take on peace in the region, in general and on some of these military events of current and past decades while he mops the floor with the unprepared CNN pundit:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml373MHAtXo

He missed the Chinese 1959 Tibet annexation even on the CNN unaired raw version but it came out in the Rogan conversation:

Not sure if I share all of the same views on everything Waters has to say but I did enjoy his mum's words of wisdom in the 2hr 49min Rogan conversation (mum stuff at ~19:00 and another at ~20:15).

Hard to determine what happened here. Looks like the explosion came from the right of the road bridge and the fuel train was collateral damage - BUT why is the inner road bridge relatively unscathed?
Not clear what the boat has to do with it unless they suspect it complaisant?
How would this action benefit the Ukraine? Other than to stick it up the arse of the Russians

The head of the Duma said it was a terrorist attack. Looks like a Special Military Operation to me.

The bridge is a major conduit for getting Russian supplies into Crimea, to support the military bases, airfields and major naval base. Less bombing raids will be able to start from there and less supply convoys to Kherson.
