The thing is, there is an extremely simple way to stop those and any attacks: get out.

It's not terrorism when it's a major state actor and they're not hiding their involvement. That's just war.

The bridge is a legitimate military target as it is used as a supply route

[-] alcasa@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago

Crimea is Ukraine.

[-] taanegl@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago

Uhm... it's war? The war you started? A war caused by one of the biggest terrorist state? A glass house of a state.

Just leave Ukraine and problem solved, right?

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago

Meanwhile, Russia does this: BBC News - Ukraine war: Russia strikes Ukraine grain after ending sea deal https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66242446

Fuck them.

Terrorism is when another nation resists your genocide and the more they resist your genocide the more terrorism it is

mother and father of a 14-year-old girl were killed on Monday and the girl left wounded as they tried to cross the bridge to start a family holiday in Crimea,

Uh. I guess my holiday destinations are insanely boring in comparison. I call bullshit.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

It’s not bullshit, Russians are still vacationing in Crimea like there isn’t a war going on. It’s pretty insane, especially given the fact that they’ve caused traffic jams multiple times that have likely held up war supplies.

[-] MajesticSloth@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Watched a video some months back of a woman in a car with a man video taping her as she cried about why they had to leave Crimea. This was when some were being evacuated because of some offensive moves by Ukraine. The whole time she is crying about why they would do this and how much she loved it there after moving and that they didn't do anything to deserve it.

They are clueless. Or just brainwashed. Maybe both.

They didn't wear seat belts

[-] cleric_splash@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

An innocent civilian child died and here you are making jokes about it.

[-] Relo@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I wasn't making a joke. They didn't wear their seat belts...

And the girl didn't die ifaik.

[-] NukeminHerttua@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 year ago

It's the same age old story: big guy punches a small guy and when the small guy punches back, the big guy starts crying that he's been punched.

Cause and effect, you reap what you sow.

Crimea river.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 8 points 1 year ago

That's untrue, if they ever start doing terrorist attacks towards Russia, I definitely won't turn a blind eye - I'll actively cheer!

[-] chaogomu@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago

I'd not support Ukraine indiscriminately killing women and children, but luckily it seems like Ukraine is more interested in military targets and infrastructure.

Russia, on the other hand, seems to be directly targeting women and children. Which, to my mind, makes them a terrorist state.

These aren’t “terrorist attacks” against Russia. They’re “special military operations”.

[-] Dubious_Fart@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have no problem turning a blind eye to what the desperate defenders do against an egregious and genocidal invader.

If Russia doesnt like it, they can surrender and end the war.

[-] Ooops@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

What now? A terrorist attack inside Russia or an attack on the Crimean Bridge?

[-] HelixDab@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

You see, comrade, terrorist attack is when Nazis attack bridge we stole, not when comrade bomb Nazi apartment building.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just a point of clarification; the Russians built the bridge after their illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014

Yeah, it's like getting upset when you build a shack on someone else's land and they tear it down.

Well shoot, you caught me Russia.
