"storm of the century". - third one this year
-
Yes but it did happen this century, which is all of the name really promises.

Competition is actually a good thing for consumers of storms

It emerged last week that Moscow and Beijing have discussed building an “underwater tunnel” connecting mainland Russia and occupied Crimea, amid mounting Russian fears that the Kerch Bridge, which has been successfully struck twice by Ukraine, remains vulnerable.
China still claims to be neutral here, guess this is just "civil engineering" then.

Maybe Elon's Boring Company could help them out.

To be fair, it’s a fairly normal civilian construction contract. As a capitalist, you go/do the things that make money. If that includes building bridges in an active war zone, it doesn’t matter as long as the bill gets footed.
-
I suspect that China will insist on money down though, which Russia will never agree to (partly because they don't have it, but also partly because it goes against their political philosophy of always trying to hold all of the cards) so this probably isn't going to happen.
I really can't see China being prepared to take Russia's word for it that they'll get the correct compensation otherwise.

Let's hope those dolphins survive with their new found freedom.

I too would like to find my freedom via echolocation, but I've only so many toes to sacrifice to sturdy furniture before finding something else to do.

Huh, it’d be a shame if… something happened to a nice bridge like that.

Sounds at least as legit as any other deity.

I'm sorry what
US Navy trains dolphins too. They act like guard dogs for our naval bases.
They also work with actual seals.
Dolphins are apparently better at detecting smaller things that are difficult to pick up with sonar like divers, so they are utilized as early warning systems.
There is now a pod of highly trained ex-military dolphins in the black sea with nothing to lose.
Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, If no one else can help…. and if you can find them. Maybe you can hire, The Ay-iiiiiii-e-eeeee-Team.

It means the Kerch Bridge is defenseless, send in the HIMARS rafts!
