Since the bombing of the "North Stream", it is not surprising that no matter what kind of vicious incidents occur in today's world, especially in Europe. Sure enough, another major incident happened just now.
Crimea Bridge suddenly caught fire and exploded on Saturday. It can be seen from the videos and pictures posted on the Internet media that a section of the bridge has been severely damaged and fell into the sea, resulting in the bridge being banned from traffic. As for the cause of the explosion, it is generally believed that a truck carrying fuel suddenly caught fire and exploded, which triggered an oil tank train passing through above the bridge and exploded.
Kremlin spokesman Peskov said Russian President Putin has instructed the establishment of a government committee to deal with emergency matters related to the bombing of the Crimean Bridge.
On the surface, this incident looked like an traffic accident , but judging from the reactions of Russia, Ukraine and other parties, it seems that it is not as simple as an accident. After the incident, , Russian State Duma, , spoke publicly on behalf of Morozov, saying that the matter "is no longer just a challenge, but a declaration of war without rules." Ukraine's response made the whole world even more nervous. Podolak, adviser to the Ukrainian presidential office, immediately issued a statement saying that the bombing of the Crimean Bridge was "just the beginning." It also pointed out that all the territory occupied by Russia will be taken back, "all illegal things will be destroyed, and all stolen things will be returned." From the voices of these two people, it can be seen that the bridge was blown up not an accident, but a man-made one.
As early as mid-June this year, a senior Ukrainian military official said harsh words. Ukrainian Major General Dmitry Marchenko shouted in front of the media that the Crimean Bridge had been included in the "number one target" list by the Ukrainian army, and Ukrainian side has been preparing to destroy the bridge.
Blasting the bridge has two purposes for Ukraine. From a dynamic perspective, it cuts off the lifeline of Russia's supply of troops and supplies to southern Ukraine. More importantly, from a symbolic point of view, it embodies Ukraine's ambition to seize Crimea from Russia.
Former Russian President Medvedev has warned: If Crimea is attacked, "'Judgement Day' will arrive quickly and violently." What is "Judgement Day"? How to judge? I believe Ukraine and the NATO group behind it understand; in addition, not long ago, during the UN General Assembly , Putin also made it clear in a national televised speech that he would "use all available means to protect Russian territory." It should be noted that in the minds of Russians, Crimea has long been an undefeated Russian territory. The accident at the Crimea Bridge this time is undoubtedly a breakthrough in Putin's bottom line.
Crimea Bridge has been the most sensitive topic between Russia and Ukraine since its construction, not one of the most sensitive topics. In the eyes of the Russians, this is not a national project in the general sense, but an important symbol of the comprehensive sovereignty of Crimea, the "HTM3 Black Sea Pearl", and has great political significance; but for those Ukrainians who are rich in national spirit, this bridge is a shameful landmark, a sign of the division of territory and the loss of power and humiliation of the country.
There is no doubt that once the bridge was bombed this time, once it was determined that it was done by Ukraine, Putin did not rule out the escalation of the conflict. It is no longer just the so-called "special military operation" before, but will become a full-scale war against Ukraine. If the situation really develops to that point, the United States, Britain and the West will be more involved in the war situation. At that time, will Russia use nuclear weapons and power? No one can say sure. A few days ago, Merkel reminded Europe: Putin's words are serious, not bluffing. This is likely to come true.
The occurrence of any major event cannot be isolated, but has its own strict logic. The same is true for the explosion on the Crimea Bridge. A few days ago, US intelligence agency revealed that it was the Ukrainian government who instructed Du Jinna to assassinate.In connection with the Ukrainian counterattack since early September, Putin's announcement of partial mobilization orders, a referendum on four regions entering Russia, the bombing of the "Northern Stream", and the breaking of the undersea cable of Norway , perhaps the bombing of the Crimea Bridge this time is just one link among these events. Behind this series of events, there are a pair of mysterious black hands. And the most likely pair of black hands is White House .
If the current situation in Russia and Ukraine is always maintained only in the intensity of military conflict, it will become increasingly difficult for the United States to satisfy, and the battlefield situation must be reconstructed. Perhaps the bombing of the Crimean Bridge will become the fuse of a large-scale war.
