If I may ask, please join me in also remembering my good friend and former student, CPT Dave Fraser, KIA in Iraq on November 26, 2006. He was an extraordinary young man who was taken from us far too soon. Rest in peace, Dave.

Trump doesn't seem to recognize that Ukraine and the EU have agency. Putin and trump can concoct their ridiculous "peace" deal, but Zelenskyy will just tell them to pound sand. We can only hope that the EU is ready to step up to the plate.

Probably a former railroad bridge that was converted for automotive use by removing the rails and adding wooden sleepers. The steel girders are huge, so it's certainly strong enough. It would be easy and cheap to add a proper concrete deck--but, of course, ruZZia has other priorities.
