When
I first heard about the events at the entrance to the Sea of Azov 2
days ago I immediately thought of this article below from May this
year, although I could not remember the details:
Ukraine
should blow up Putin's Crimea bridge
Ukraine should now
destroy elements of the bridge.
While that course of
action would be an escalation against Putin and one that would almost
certainly spark Russian retaliation, this bridge is an outrageous
affront to Ukraine's very credibility as a nation. Of course, from
Putin's perspective that's the whole point. The bridge cost Russia's
near-bankrupt government billions of dollars, but it offers Putin a
formal physical and psychological appropriation of Ukrainian
territory.
Fortunately Ukraine
has the means to launch air strikes against the bridge in a manner
that would render it at least temporarily unusable. Because of its
significant length, the Ukrainian air force could strike the bridge
while mitigating the risk of casualties by those traversing it.
It
is not at all difficult to believe the following story although at
this stage it is mostly speculation for which there is no direct
evidence.
I
suspect that further evidence for this will come out in the next few
days although it is possible that the Russian authorities may decide
not to reveal the details of this heinous act as it would
provide "irrefutable
proof of an ATTEMPTED, unprovoked, sneak-attack-nuclear-strike upon
Russia Territory"
Countries
have gone to war for far less than this.
Report
that British and Ukrainian special forces were intercepted by Russian intelligence trying to
blow up the Kerch Bridge
Hal Turner is saying that:
COVERT
INTEL is
buzzing with word that a NATO Special Atomic Demolition
Munition (SADM), a Diver deployable device, was being transported by
Ukrainian and British Special Forces to the Kerch Strait to be used
against the Crimean bridge.
Find
information on the Special Atomic Demolition Munitions (SADM) HERE
He is reporting that the Russian intelligence authorities became aware of the plans and they were tracking the device was loaded onto a Ukrainian Tug (escorted by 5 warships!! - 3
in the Black Sea, including one NATO vessel, and 2 waiting in the Sea
of Azov).
According to this version of events ground attack jets and Helicopter gunships, plus a warship
armed with Anti-Submarine Missiles and Torpedoes were waiting for the Ukrainians.
This is the first time that force has been used by the Russians since the events in Crimea in 2014, and they have never blockaded the Sea of
Azov.
It would have to be asked why the Russians would use such a degree of force
"just for a tug and a few old
Ukrainian ships."
Russia is used to frequent provocations from the Ukrainians (to little effect) but this time Russia decided to ACT.
Hal Turner says that:
An
SADM explosion would have brought down the bridge and melted the
foundations, but would have looked like a conventional IED blast from
above, due to the underwater detonation and relatively low yield of
less than 1KT.
This
was a WW3 level provocation STOPPED by the Russian FSB and Special
Forces!
He is saying that the
device may have come from the UK.
We have seeing incredibly aggressive and febrile rhetoric from Britain (second-to-none)
Device
thrown overboard?
Further, Turner reports that he has indications ("intell") that the Ukrainians panicked when they realized the Russian vessels
were coming to intercept them, and they THREW THE DEVICE
OVERBOARD!
The
area is now full of vessels and scuba divers trying to find "a functional -
albeit low yield - nuclear bomb" might be.
Just imagine for a minute if the Russians find what they are looking for.
The
stakes on this are very high. If such a device is found, that
would be irrefutable proof of an ATTEMPTED, unprovoked,
sneak-attack-nuclear-strike upon Russia Territory.
Why
Poroshenko called for immediate martial law
According to Turner's reporting "intell" are saying and it makes some sense to speculate that all this is the reason Ukraine pancked and enacted immediate Martial
law, calleling up Reserve troops, and is deploying those reserves to
areas bordering Russia.
They
fear a land invasion as retaliation for what took place
Russia
has undertaken increasied security measures: Zakharova
Official
spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova,
commenting on the incident with the Ukrainian ships in the Kerch
Strait, said that Moscow had taken increased security measures in
connection with threats to destroy the Crimean Bridge.
“The
Russian side has taken increased security measures, and especially
given the calls for the destruction, undermining, and so on of the
Kerch bridge,” she said.
The
diplomat also did not rule out new provocations by the Ukrainian
authorities. According to her, Kiev is not able to control not
only what is happening in foreign territorial waters, but also not
able to dominate the territory of Ukraine.
Also,
the representative of the Foreign Ministry, speaking on the TV
channel "Russia 1", said that Moscow regrets the refusal of
the UN Security Council to hold an urgent meeting on the situation in
the Kerch Strait.
