Half the people in the tunnel are probably Muslim
“Yes, trade and tourism is SO big between those two bustling end-points that a project like this is sorely needed.”
Direct access via rail to Siberian resources is a very big deal.
LOL ... “unity.” I think Moscow means “so we can take over Alaska.”
The problem is it wouldn’t be practical. Very few Russians or Americans live in Alaska or Kamchatka.
I would love to visit the Russian far east — some day. A road trip from Nome, AK to say.. Yakutsk, Russia.. wow ! But a lot of infrastructure needs to be built around the bridge or tunnel. That alone won’t be enough. Remember, when the Golden Gate came up in the 1930s there was nothing there.
I wonder how stable geologically it is? Probably not very since we just had a Tsunami in that region.
You have no idea what that area is like. Many points have already been made about the remoteness of this area. The distance between that area and the closest road and city (Fairbanks) is approximately the length of California. AND, it’s tundra and very large mountains.
Folks, please look behind the curtain here. This is NOT about a Russia-Alaska rail tunnel, that is just this drop of a larger operation. The above image was included in the recent 350-page Russia drop to Rep Paulina Luna, that she talked about a week ago. The image is from the early 1960's, and what's going on with this tunnel today, mirrors that from JFK's era. The letters below was sent by Jacqueline Kennedy to Russia after the CIA murder of JFK.
Future proves Past. Trump draining the NWO/deep-state/Swamp, restoring the Republic FOR the United States.
Because the ring of fire is just soooo geologically stable.
Symbolic pork projects do not make for “unity”. The idea is a joke.
It might not take much to run a rail line from Fairbanks to the Bering Strait. But for the Russians to build a line to the proposed tunnel would be a massive endeavor.
AI says: “There is no existing route from Nizhny Bestyakh to the Bering Strait; it would require building over 3,000 miles of new railway or highway through remote and rugged terrain, facing immense logistical, environmental, and financial challenges. While there are long-term plans for a railway to eventually reach the Bering Strait, no rail lines exist east of Nizhny Bestyakh, and projects like the proposed Intercontinental Railway have been discussed but are not under construction.”
I actually think this is a pretty good idea. It would make for an interesting road trip.
More likely a beer and amphetamines in Jonny’s back pocket.
everything is impossible until it’s been done.
But that’s not my point is it.
Putin wants us to build him an oil pipeline......
More than I thought. Doesn’t it freeze in the winter?
Countries with communist traditions loves these grandiose public projects for no economic benefit.
See North Korea building the world’s tallest building, see Chian with it’s myriad of pointless buildings.
Good thinking and interesting thread. Thanks to all posters.
