A Bridge Over Troubled Waters: Crimea

on the road again


I support Trump

       Well, now.  The Russyan spinners released fotos of a newly built bridge.  The bridge connects the European landmass to the Crimean peninsula and will facilitate vehicle traffic to the southern portion of the area.  In announcing such a project, the Kremlin is telling the West and others that there will be no pulling back from the occupation of Ukrainian sovereign territory.  The bridge looks like a hold over from the Soviet era: bulky, heavy, solid, brutish, and durable.  Some architects think this style is making a well deserved comeback; others would like to smother the style in the crib.  It recalls a style commonly used by Russyan engineers when dispatched abroad to assist the building of infrastructure projects around the world.  Many were built in Vietnam after the American War ended in 1975.  Many were built in Cuba, a satellite of Soviet era COMINTERN.
