Whatever you do, be sure to keep away from the Wizards of Smart that are involved in the Kalifornia Train To Nowhere.

Europe is dying the most bizarre death in history.

Some civilizations fizzle out (Easter Island).

Some collapse due to drought and religious collapse (the Maya).

Some are conquered by more technologically advanced civilizations (Native Americans).

But has there ever been a civilization that has openly invited a historically hostile civilization to come and take their resources?

This might be due to the guilt driven nature of Christianity (that had an out through Christ) but now that Christ has been jettisoned just the guilt remains.

I am reminded of one of the funniest news stories I heard in 2004. A raft carrying 42 African refugees of all ages crossed the Straits of Gibraltar and landed on a nude beach in Spain. I bet they didn’t think Western civilization would be like this!

Load trains full of muzzies, send them to Morocco, and dynamite the tunnel.

The only good part is that they’re undervaluing the costs of this pig, it’ll be closer to 1 trillion final cost with annual upkeep in the billions. There’s no way for it to ever recoup the costs through fares, so it’ll be a massive drain on both governments.

Prediction: Tunnel is abandoned after the second breach kills dozens in the construction phase after obvious flaws uncovered in the exploratory phase are papered over and deemed ‘acceptable risks.’

Spain should look at all of the economic migrants and Muzzie crime in the UK before agreeing to this. Seas make very good borders to keep people out.

Not sure why this is considered to be so difficult to do. The Channel Tunnel is 50.46 and is the third longest rail tunnel in the world. We been building these things for a long time. The differnce between 50 and 65 kilos is minimal.

The Channel Tunnel (French: Tunnel sous la Manche, sometimes referred to as the Chunnel) is a 50.46-kilometre (31.35-mile) railway tunnel beneath the English Channel that connects Folkestone in the United Kingdom with Coquelles in northern France. Opened in 1994, it remains the only fixed link between Great Britain and the European mainland.

The tunnel has the longest underwater section of any tunnel in the world, at 37.9 km (23.5 miles), and reaches a depth of 75 m (246 ft) below the sea bed and 115 m (377 ft) below sea level. It is the third-longest railway tunnel in the world. Although the tunnel was designed for speeds up to 200 km/h (120 mph), trains are limited to a maximum speed of 160 km/h (99 mph) for safety reasons. It connects to high-speed railway lines on either end: the LGV Nord in France and High Speed 1 in the United Kingdom.

China apparently loves building long tunnels. The list here is mostly Chinese tunnels.
