Great! Instead of driveng their tanks into Ukraine, they can drive them into Alaska... Looking to recoup what they sold in 1867! The Putinistas on FR will be wetting themselves with joy.

Are there currently any ferries across the bering strait?

I think part of the road route was travelled by Jim Rogers as chronicled in his book ‘Investment Biker.’

Given the lower tax rates, how many Alaskans would put up the welcome sign?

So, they want to build a road so the Russians could just drive their tanks into North America?

This looks like a ploy by Putin to build actual roads Eastern Russia, give Russia strategic routes into North America and Western Europe, and no doubt America and Western European countries will wind up paying for most of it.

The notorious Road of Bones R504 Kolyma Highway, named because the skeletons of those who died during its construction were used in its foundations

Yeah, who wants to drive on that?
