World: Russia's Bridge to Nowhere - NYTimes.com/Video

[XiphateXerenC]

This is horrible journalism.

[Madmax1945XXX]

FUCK YOU< TheNewYorkTimes

[pierceys234]

strategy: interview people who do not know anything about the topic

result: lie to others

[movitmovit]

there are always people who are against progress. building bridges solidifies infrastructure and supplies many temporary jobs. forget about taking a shitty ferry all of the time.

[drusha1]

yup, there comes another feat of yankee compassion. let the russia stand stagnant and we'll come and give you a shoulder to cry on, pump out your oil and load you up with grey papers - what a great wait to co-operate

[movitmovit]

@drusha1 what are "grey papers"?

[Andruha7]

Wtf bridge to no where? Why would they build a bridge to no where dumb ass. They building it to a freaking island numnuts. If they building it then they need it so stfu, you just hate Russians u racist ass.

[Redhammer627]

I bet the New York Times only interviewed people who think the bridge is a bad idea. They and the rest of the US media constantly makes Russia look like a stupid childish country. Out of bridges to nowhere, I think President Obama's 1 Trillion dollar stimulus plan wins the prize for being the most rushed and unneeded wastes of tax payer money in world history.

This guy has a really annoying voice.

@dinger9542 i concur

It is a common knowledge that in times of economic crisis, starting huge projects generates jobs and gets the economy working. Each such project grants a lot of work for people, and that definitely helps. This one will help a lot of people in the Far East for example.

This is not the bridge to nowhere, it is one of the bridges out of the crisis.

But Since New York times is not interested in proper analysis, they just used this as another chance to condemn whatever Russia is doing.

The Russians are not stupid, under Putin or Medvedev a billion dollars will never be wasted for "nowhere".... the island has importance either financially or politically.

The woman at 2:20 is talking about graffiti not "dust and dirt from the road".

[SenseiWuzi]

wtf..... she clearly said dust and dirt... lol

[FooFighterJB]

You are a willy.

[yellowman88]

Russias not telling us because theres probably loads and loads of minerals and oil on that island.

[Soulway1]

Ohhh, yeah, the yellowman88 really know the truth. Don't you love internet conspiracy theories? =)

Of couse there is loads and loads of mineral there, and the name is "Ice"... (google it if you dont believe it haha)

Good job man, you know the secret buddy =)

[yellowman88]

I was being sarcastic and mocking eco-liberals at the same time who always blame people for earth exploitation. The REAL truth is that eastern Russia have been left out of the Russian economic boom in the past decade (like they said...) Investors are scared to invest in the east because their seriously is nothing there but ice and volcanoes. This venture is probably going to fail too.

[9K58]

have you been there? NOPE. I have.

It was most certainly NOT left out. I noticed it back in 2004 when I left Vladivostok. Life was getting better back then already.

Listen less to the stupid american newspapers and their "correspondents".

[Retardis]

I wish I had four wads of cash to blow

[effinretards]

DAMNNNNN

[Taospark]

Every time capitalist government blows a wad of cash, pseudo-Communist government proves it can blow four wads of cash.
