Crimean bridge. Why Shoigu is the happiest person in the world today

The explosion on the bridge is not just a personal slap to Putin, it is also an opportunity for the army to place all the blame for future problems on the FSB

Only a lazy Russian did not write about the fact that now "they can’t now" deal with the delivery of everything (from food to weapons) to the occupied Kherson Oblast and Crimea.  The panic in Crimea is deepened by the fact that it is almost impossible to establish an effective ferry crossing in a short period of time (there are no ferries, no personnel, no one understands the condition of the access roads).

And here a reasonable question arises: "And who is to blame?".  The answer is simple: FSB leadership at all levels: from Moscow to Kerch.  But don't tell anyone.  The fact is that the so-called party of war (military leaders), who actively trolled Shoigu, Lapin, Gerasimov and other generals, actively cooperated and are cooperating with the FSB.  This is, in fact, the party of the FSB, which wanted to take over the Ministry of Defense and break into the top league of Russian politics.

And the explosion on the bridge is not just a personal slap to Putin, it is also an opportunity for the army to place all the blame for future problems on the FSB.  And we will soon see it in the information space.

Putin has only one option now: to change both the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and the FSB in one fell swoop.  But he will not go for it (he is old for such decisions).  As a result: Russian society in the most remote parts of the Russian Federation will understand: the leader has grown old and is lying to them out of impotence.  And everyone will think: my loved one is being sent to Kherson, although it is impossible to deliver weapons and fuel there.

All the hawks will now start screaming about decision centers, nuclear weapons, etc.  But Putin is afraid.  Fear first of all for yourself.  Because at heart he is an incredible coward.

There is one more important point.  He is most afraid of humiliation in life, and the Crimean Bridge is the highest degree of humiliation for him.  The next time he will appear even more aged in front of people: humiliation eats and will eat him.

P.S.  We all understand that the truck exploded by accident, right?
