Investigation opened in Russia into 15 Ukrainian judges
Russia's completion and inauguration of the Kerch Strait Bridge which connects Crimea with mainland Russian Federation, has driven the Western purveyors of geopolitics into a frenzy, the most extreme example of which was the proposal in today's Washington Examiner by psychotic "journalist" Tom Rogan that Ukraine bomb the bridge-a clear incitement to terrorism.
Svetlana Petrenko, spokeswoman for Russia's Investigative Committee, told reporters on Thursday that Rogan's article "contains signs of public calls for terrorist activity on the territory of Russian Federation". The four-lane bridge will eventually support up to 40,000 cars per day, and is expected to help cut the costs of goods in Crimea, which have doubled since Russia's takeover of the area in 2014. According to Russian investigators, Ukraine's law enforcement authorities instituted criminal proceedings in which an agreement on reunification of Crimea and Sevastopol with Russia was identified as willful acts aimed at the country's territorial changes.
"Fortunately Ukraine has the means to launch air strikes against the bridge in a manner that would render it at least temporarily unusable".

Coin tosses to be scrapped from Tests?

Rogan, in his column published on the Washington Examiner, a US digital magazine, suggested that Ukraine launch air strikes against the 19-km bridge over the Kerch Strait between the Black and Azov seas.
He also stood by his call for bombing the bridge and even doubled down, arguing that "Russia's own actions in Ukraine are actually true terrorism".
