I'm guessing a Chechen suicide bomber.

There's video of the truck that blew up. If it stopped moving, it did not stop long enough for an escape vehicle to get clear.

The ordinance used appears to be military grade, more powerful than most terrorist bombs. The explosion had the sparklies, like an ammo depot going up.

It doesn't appear that anyone is suspecting Putin of this one. The Ukrainians are rejoicing.

Joke making the rounds;.

“Hey, Yuri, did you hear we’re at war with NATO!”

“Astounding, Ivan, how are we doing?”

“We’ve lost 80,000 men, the storied 1st Guards Tank Army has been wiped out, more than 1,000 of out latest tanks are burned out hulks, we have to get old T62s out of storage to stay in the war, we’ve lost more generals in war than any nation ever, our flag ship is at the bottom of the Black Sea, we’re losing airbases hundreds of kilometers behind lines, land it took us 3 months to take was taken back from us in 3 days, our fleet has retreated from Sevastopol, and we can’t come within 300 kilometers of Ukraine’s coast without getting one of our few remaining warships blown up!”

“That’s terrible, Ivan! How is NATO doing?”

“Oh, they haven’t even started yet".

Not sure how much to trust the Bloomberg network, but this is interesting.

It's a claim that MI6 (British Intelligence) concocted the plan to blow up the Crimean bridge.

No one is sure who did it, but they speculate the truck driver didn't even know what he was transporting.

“Today, in just 18 minutes, service members of #UAarmy shot down 4 russian helicopters that were spoiling beautiful autumn skies in the south of Ukraine. No place for Alligators here. The local climate is hostile towards them.”

Saw a video like that the other day. But it was simulated, alas.

'Pubs seem poised to appease a tyrant and betray allies again if they regain control of policy.

Enough talk, Putin. Get out of the Crimea, all the way back to Russia.
