I posted before about the deep economic links of the Crimea with the other Ukrainian regions and it's reliance on irrigation water, electricity, gas plus the many trade goods coming over the rail & roads from the North. I concluded that the Crimean economy will suffer very badly and that the Russians will have difficulties to avoid a big crisis and to supply it properly.

Now we hear this:

Russian wires reporting that PM Dmitry Medvedev issued an order to build a bridge across the Kerch straights linking Russia and Crimea.
Perhaps part of the progaganda war, but if Russia will continue it's occupation in the long run in a half-away efficient manner a bridge sounds at first like a decent idea.
