    What has the dark world seen that is so bad it would want to even think about building this kind of doomsday weaponry? How sick a mind can there be to want to deploy such a monstrous weapon, and have they given any thought to what it may achieve in the long term? Control over nuclear wasted land is pointless unless you want your people to move there in iron-clad suits to run the country you have just destroyed. Putin is seriously deranged if he really thinks that this kind of aggression will earn him sainthood from Mother Russia especially if you consider what he will reap from his tyranny. The world is being held ransom by a cornered rat, in every sense of the phrase, and the only way out is to eliminate the rat before it fights back. Germany thought their wonder ships Bismark, Tirpitz and Graff Spee would win them the war in the Atlantic but shrewd planning, combined with a little luck, put them both at the bottom of the sea. We need to find this submarine asap and do whatever to stop it's progress or ability to do catastrophic damage but I wonder if we even have that kind of capability? The stakes are getting higher by the day, and we have to hope that cooler heads prevail to avoid disaster otherwise the outcome can only be a world changing scenario. Wake up Russian people because your insane leader wants to change the world for all of those supposedly lined up to destroy your country, and unfortunately he will take you along on the ride to nowhere.

    Have Russians forgotten the Kursk disaster that lost all of the crew after it was apparently hit by one of it's own missiles?. Many neighbours offered to help locate it and be involved in any rescue attempt but were told to do one by the Russians who tried to blame the incident on others. Will Putin ever realize that his ranting about how the West, specifically the U.S.A., want to destroy Russia is just a total bunch of lies designed to rile up the uneducated population to accept that all-out war is the only way out? Dangerous times ahead for us all.

    A programme to do with Tsunami and highlighting the Canary Islands etc modelled the effects 2 or 3 places around the world and the consequences. Like Canary islands would affect over 3000 miles of coast line down the americas with a tsunami hitting land at something around 30 -40 m.
    A worst case scenario of a undersea quake had TSUNAMI which devatated 000's miles around pacific! should Russia use such a weapon and protect itself also then such a high wall off water would need to be 000's of miles away!
    info on its effect is not to plentiful but based on models of the past [ scaled up ] would indicate in the atlantic ocean half of europe / mediterranean / west coast Africa/ Baltic [ hence an own goal for St Petersburg ] Also coast of north and south America's and doomsday for the artic which is not a landmass just a sheet of ice. then there is the back fill effect the initial water displacement would leave a void which after the water had left the explosion point would fill back in with water that has been polluted all marine life would be dead so 20% of the worlds food source gone ... Russia eats 000's of tonnes of fish from Atlantic for a start......
    it would likely be a suicide press of the button .....

    The trouble is, the worse things get for ‘Putain’ the more likely he is to turn to his vast nuke arsenal.
    It’s the behaviour of a cornered rat - extremely dangerous.

    I am much of the same opinion. He is a dangerous man with no spark of humanity in his body and it will take something momentous to shut him down. Without him being totally out of the picture the world is indeed right at the crossroads in my thread.

    I may have made reference to it before but the kerch bridge is an important route that needed to terminated .. unfortunately the effort whilst is welcomed . has made future attacks very much harder it should have been closer to the arch and the railway line ... and maybe bigger .. or 2 lorry loads of anfo instead of 1!!!
    Rod could probably comment on heat effect on concrete I did pictures of HELIOPTERS DROPPING WATER ON FIRE .. likely a special mix? Burt CONTAINS water .. concrete is alkaline? and made from limestone which when heated and then cooled becomes soft? being reinforced would assist in resisting cracking due to explosive force ....

    Russian hypocrisy from Peskov's dept "Ukraine is terrorist state attacking civilian stuctures situations ".................

    Plenty going on in the air Baltic/ Blacksea coast and sea itself AWACS / Aerial Command planes are well dispersed .. Baltic today had patrolling AWAC,s

    Poseidon 200m Russian sub keeps popping up! in White sea area ... intimidation exercise! still gives rest of the world chance to hone detection defences?

    I have managed to get a really slow play rate on the explosion video [ working on getting 1 even slower ] The explosion seems to be lop sided? I cant get a frame that shows the initial detonation so must assume the video is quite slow maybe 10 frames a second or less? I have in past video'd a couple of quarry blasts and you get a real slo mo sequence with this one you get lorry ... white light for a couple frames then the envelope of expansion .. so would lean toward the explosion not being the lorry!.....

    Putrid the evil cowardly self centered egoistically dictator with no moral respect to fellow humans is fast moving up the table of history's worst butchers .....
    Until Ukraine actually admits to the Kerch bridge at the moment it does seem to be a anti Russian " group" thing..????? There is in Russia a anti government movement that is paramilitary and are carrying out minor attacks against the gov!!?? Also now you have some 700k ? ex military some of which will have access to existing members of the Russian army who may be against the war ... also a few 000's of deserters! who have fled the current hostilities ... An attack by a special forces / properly supplied [ & applied explosive would likely have been more accurate and done more damage. The attack came from Russia, it could be a cynical attempt at false flag? amazing howwithin hours they had plotted the route of that vehicle over its last 2 days! and was allowed to enter Russia loaded with explosives! Trucks do 56mph even on a free route from say Bristol to GLASGOW on empty roads with no customs posts/ speed limits a distance of circa 450 miles all Motorway it would take 8 HOURS ... they said this truck had just done over at 1500 miles... 30 hours @ 56mph ... best bet would be achieved 40 - 48mph?? had to cross 5 borders which is almost 10 border checks keeping within law max driving time would be likely? ..... be a 5 or 6 day event they got all this info within hours [ less than 5 - 6? ] bit like the yellow mini car ...... with driver and child passenger!!!
    distance may have been more not checked ...

    Do Ukraine have special forces? Could they not have blown the bridge from underneath with explosives, rather than being on a truck, it wasn’t clear from the pictures that it was a truck bomb .

    they do have some very good ones and it is possible the explosion was from underneath, but as you state pic is not that clear and damage pics are hard to define as to where the centre may have been. I will try later to see if any video on SKY is better than BEEB [ RESOLUTION ] really annoying an explosion [ quarry ] when filmed at 30 fps seems to expand slower in first second than third second [ second second seems to be a contraction ] then third second onward is a large expansion .....
    An explosion on a craft would send force upward [ water does not compress but would be forced down then outward ! ]
    checked the so called route the russians miraclulously came up with within a few hours for the truck very close to 2000 miles .. and border crossings on at least 4 of them would be full checks on a Russian lorry how long do you reckon it might take ... assuming you started with full driving week ahead of you?

    The head of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin
    Mr Bastrykin said that citizens of Russia and some foreign states had aided preparations for the attack.

    According to Mr Bastrykin, investigators have established that the truck which they say blew up travelled through Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia, North Ossetia and Krasnodar Territory. oooooops forgot to mention Turkey ..... about 2220 miles via google ... street view shows 2/3rds of roads non motorway /dual carriageway more than a third mountainous hairpins etc so speed average must be down around 30 something? 5 BORDER CROSSINGS!

    that much info must mean had the driver!!! [ owner ] ... pre the journey [ older relative driving ] over the bridge. I bet GCHQ & MAXAR CLEANING UP THE VIDEO AS WE READ!

    It's only a matter of time before nukes are used.
    Putain has been depleting his conventional arms - and his troops on the ground are in chaos.

    How the world would respond to it is however, unknown for me - NATO won't (shouldn't) strike because Ukraine isn't a member and it would DEFINITELY start WW3. On the other hand though we can't do nothing and let him get away with it. I don't have any answers I'm afraid.
    VERY scary times.

    A major road bombed out in Ukraine's central-eastern city of Dnipro has been rebuilt overnight, local officials have said.

    if that was in the UK there would 2000 cones for half a mile each side, plastic barriers for "unhinged brains" to push over and work would start around 22nd December before adding more cones and coming back to it around easter ......

    AFTER todays evil cowardly strikes on civilians including schools etc TIME NOW TO REALLY TAKE OUT THE KERCH BRIDGE PROPERLY ... actually tell Russian soldiers use the Kerch bridge in the next 72 hours or else it will be toast ... Ukraine need just 1 of their flying at 30ft above the wave tops fully missiled up planes to take out the Crimea side of bridge main pillars ... at less than 50 ft will be below radar ...they are suffering indiscriminate attacks on civilians which will not stop as the butcher now in charge has a 30 year history of these attacks ... there is proof yet or admission who blew the bridge ... most likely Russian anti war guerilla's so they will try again anyway .....

    They alleged the explosives had been hidden in rolls of plastic film and taken on a roundabout route from the Ukrainian port of Odesa - first by sea to Bulgaria, then Georgia, and then driven by lorry overland into Russia via Armenia.

    dont be misled into thinking rolls of plastic film as kitchen wrap or cling film! although some of the explosive envelope does look like "strange " rolls would likely be in excess off a tonne? and the effect would be to suppress the explosion? Think of the famous war film [ cant remember which one ] when a soldier whipped off his helmet and covered a grenade . he did bounce up a bit bit explosion contained!!! The envelope on this one was very rapid and looked "thin" ... could be wrong not enough detail .......

    Well arrested 8 people 5 of whom are Russian citizens .. other 3 are 2? ARMENIAN/ 1 Ukranian? Driver was supposed to be Russian so why blame Ukraine?
    Strange how the implementation of the new Butcher in charge is spot on in line with the atrocities of missileing civilians, infamous for this type of assault ... a warning for Putrid the Russian peoples liberation army mean business ... and there is a growing dissent amongst carefully worded replies by Russian media people regarding the situation ...
    rumour another prominent person [media ] has been found dead! must be something in the air or what they drink or eat ... dodgy vodka or McRussian burgers!
    C17a USA flies from border with Russia [ Tashkent ] Uzbekistan to cental EU at present moment 2045hrs ,,, Russian deserters /draught dodgers / Nasa people?
