Update on the Antonovsky bridge in Kherson today. It’s still intact but needs repairs before traffic can go through

I have no words about that, makes perfect sense though.

-- Boris Johnson could become next NATO Secretary-General --

Johnson tipped to become next secretary general of Nato

Boris is thought to have the support of the US and the Baltic states, but might struggle to convince France to vote in favour of him.

Boris Johnson is being touted as a potential future secretary general of Nato by senior Tories.

The prime minister could take up the role if Jens Stoltenberg stands down in September next year, according to Telegraph reports, which would give Boris a year to recuperate after being ousted from Number 10.

A British candidate is believed to be favoured for the role because of “US distrust around any European Union figures taking the job given repeated suggestions of plans for a new EU army”, the Telegraph said.

Britain is also trusted by the Baltic states and Mr Johnson personally has won international credit for helping to build the international coalition against Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

Richard Drax MP, a senior Conservative member of the defence select committee, said he would support the Prime Minister for the role if he wanted it.

Mr Drax told The Telegraph: “Any distinguished Brit would be a great choice. If indeed that is what Boris Johnson wants to go and do, of course I would support that.”

Mark Francois MP, another member of the defence committee, added: “People will probably argue over Boris Johnson’s legacy for years – but one thing which is clearly inarguable is his absolutely staunch support for Ukraine in the face of Russian barbarity.

“If he were to apply to become the Secretary General of Nato, I suspect he could rely on President Zelensky for a reference.”

However, a senior Ministry of Defence figure expressed doubts about the appointment, given there was a likelihood that Emmanuel Macron, the French President, would veto him.

One source told The Telegraph: “The reality is that Nato sec gens are appointed by unanimous decision. Any country can veto.

“Do you think President Macron would nominate Boris Johnson to be the sec gen of Nato? It is a challenge for a Brit full stop. You need the United States to support you and the French to say ‘yes’.”

This is interesting, potentially important, and has been extensively discussed in recent days by Alexander Mercouris on his own YouTube channel. (Highly highly recommended, btw.

)

Mercouris has consulted engineers familiar with dams, and is confident it'd be near-impossible to destroy it. One thing he never mentioned (slightly surprising, as he's lived in Britain for many years and has a deep knowledge of British and WWII history) was the epic 1941 "dambusters" project in World War 2. A celebrated British scientist, Barnes Wallis, designed a very special bomb, and a very special bombing technique, to destroy German dams in the Ruhr — and it worked perfectly.

A low-flying Lancaster bomber would drop a cylindrical bomb, shaped like a barrel, that would roll, bounce and skim across the water of the dam and then when it hit the dam wall, would sink and follow the wall underwater to its lowest point where it would explode. All in this article:

Not only do they have nothing like this, it took two direct hits to break the Dam.

("Dingy" Young made the first direct hit & the dam didn't give, neither he or his crew survived the mission, it's presumed they were shot down somewhere near the Hook of Holland)

It's impossible to blow up a dam with conventional bombs, not even the other bombs Barnes Wallis came up with , the 14,000 lb & 22,500lb earth quake bombs (used to destroy Hitlers V3 weapon) . I doubt they have aircraft as good as a Lancaster either
