I see no problem with the United States giving Ukraine long range Himar missiles with the Ukrainians promising to is a them only to hit Russian built infrastructure on Ukrainian territory including the bridge in Crimea. If a neighbour invades my back yard by force and puts up a shed that I don't want on my property then I think that I have the right to destroy or tear down that shed as soon as I have the opportunity and it would be ridiculous for my aggressive neighbour to complain about it. Similarly as Russia built a bridge on Ukrainian territory that Ukraine neither needed or wanted I think that Ukraine has every right to destroy or tear down that bridge as soon as it has the opportunity (at least the section of the bridge in Ukrainian territory). One expert is saying that although he doesn't know what was the cause of this explosion it could simply be an accidental explosion of Russian military supplies that happened to be on a truck crossing the bridge as Russia has been transporting a lot of ammunition over the bridge. Such explosions do happen in war sometimes. In December 1917 the city of Halifax was destroyed in a massive explosion of a ship carrying munitions to Europe for WW1. And I believe that it was in Long Beach California that there was a similar massive explosion when munitions were being loaded onto a ship. In both cases it seems no enemy agent was involved. They were "just" terrible, terrible, tragic accidents. I don't know if this expert's suggestion of a possible accidental explosion on the Crimean bridge is plausible. The fact that it occurred early in the morning when civilian casualties would be limited and at a time when a train happened to be nearby suggests planning.
