The definition of terrorism is an attack on civilians in order to create fear in the population. Generally, this is judged by whether an attack has any military purpose. Obviously, civilians can die in attacks that do have a military purpose, but this is different than targeting civilians directly as an end in itself.
There is a rail line as a part of the bridge structure, which is alleged to transport military supplies and equipment. I don’t support attacking the railway, but the Ukrainians could argue that this is a valid military target (even if civilians died in the attack). Twice now, the Ukrainians have instead targeted the civilian road.
America funds terrorism, and then acts smug about it.
Of course, this is nothing new.

Washington is “monitoring” the situation with the Kerch Bridge to Crimea, Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters on Monday. He did not directly answer whether the US supported Ukraine’s attack on the bridge that killed two civilians and orphaned a 14-year-old girl.
Asked about the strike on the bridge during the State Department press briefing, Blinken said he did not have “anything in particular to offer on that.”
“This is a situation that we’re monitoring,” Blinken told reporters. “I can say, as a general proposition, of course Ukraine has to decide how it conducts this war in defense of its territory, its people, its freedom.”
If they are using terrorism to “defend their territory … freedom,” that is not any concern of the United States.
Russian authorities have said that the bridge was targeted early on Monday by two seaborne drones. The explosion did not damage any of the pillars, but took out one span of the road section as a family was passing by in a car.
Aleksey Kulik, 40, and his wife Natalya, 36 were killed on the spot. Their daughter Angelina, 14, was airlifted to Krasnodar with serious injuries.
“The incident is yet another terrorist attack by the Kiev regime,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday afternoon. “This crime is pointless from the military point of view – since the Crimean Bridge has long not been used for military transport – and brutal, since only innocent civilians were killed and injured.” He vowed a swift and severe retaliation against Ukraine.
The Russian Foreign Ministry called the reaction from Kiev“cynical and monstrous,” as some Ukrainian lawmakers and social media users celebrated the deaths of the Kuliks and the suffering of their daughter.
It’s all over Twitter, these sickening people laughing about a dead family.
This is really the face of the West, the face of the Ukraine project.
These people murder families in the name of gay sex.
