> "Military target" is a curious phrase given that this seems to be civilian infrastructure (of course it's probably important for the military as well). Pre-war, looks like the bridge saw around 15k in daily traffic. https://www.zr.ru/content/news/920305-8-millionov-avtomobili...

It’s a valid military target because Russia uses it to resupply its military in Crimea.

If Russia doesn’t want people targeting their bridges as military targets perhaps the military shouldn’t use them.

> So the real question is, why is Ukraine attacking civilian infrastructure?

Because it’s a military target being used by the Russian military to resupply Crimea and also the forces in the land corridor nearby.

> Is that not terrorism?.

Nope

> And an even better question is, why is the West helping them do this?

Because kicking Russia out of Crimea is something that needs to happen.
