re: President Trump finds tunnel connecting Russia to America Interesting

Train tracks were laid across America in 1800’s, I suppose 2000’s could do a bit better than that. Foundations of trade considerations are laid prior to building. Russia is huge on natural resources and travel up from China by railway is doable I would think. The way stations could come with increased habitation much like offshore oil and even onshore industry level labor with month on month off. With the amount of effort put into shipping China to west coast or European ports to east coast something like this could reduce pressures related to shipping in future. China has railway operations out of them going west. If the tunnels are viable in building below the Bering Sea then building any infrastructure above ground would be child’s play in consideration

If we're talking trade, it's still cheaper to move things by water. Most of what Russia produces is in the west, so they'd have to construct railways all the way east. They we'd have to construct railways from Wales, AK through the Alaskan mountains all the way down to the CONUS for it to be useful. It would still be cheaper to move things by water from maybe Vladivostok (the largest city in the Far East) to the U.S. West Coast. While intriguing and having cool optics, it just isn't economically viable or necessary. It would be a massive project connecting nothing to....nothing.

Think how bananas it would be to be able to drive from Key West all the way to London. What an adventure log that would make?

What are the earthquake probabilities in that are??

Pushing back against stupid ideas and polices is now apparently deemed "taking points" or "TDS" by the Cultists.

Seriously, what use would we have with a tunnel from off the coast of Alaska to the outer coast of Siberia?
None whatsoever. It's Absurdity x 100.
My theory is that Trump's script-writers float these types of bizarre ideas to gauge the gullibility level and blind-loyalty of their subjects.

Of all the things to spend infrastructure money on, why that?
Agree, makes zero sense.
Why not investments in domestic infrastructure and new or upgraded power plants? The situation is desperate. Have we heard such common sense proposals yet?

Why not just use the alien tech we have instead?
HA! But we have already been using "Alien Tech", aka ancient Fallen Angel technologies.
Have TV, Electricity, Lasers, AI, UFOs, nanotech, and mRNA-Transhumanism "vaxxes" been Fallen Angel/"Alien Tech after all?
ARE "Stargates" and the "Time-Travel"veil been broken? Has CERN re-activated "Stargate" tech? (or is this a tangent too far?)

Trump's a dealmaker. "Interesting" doesn't mean he intends to do it. He's just showing a little leg.

It is? We have?
Nobody seems to be very interested in 500,000 mil sq mi of Alaskan territorial development and resources, 2,500,000 mil sq mi of Canada, or Greenland.
And what about the 5,500,000 million sq mi of Antarctica?

From what I see his demonic hoards are creating quite a bit of havoc for now and the immediate future.

I watched that vid. Interesting.
100 people reside there on a big ol' rock. Nothing green can grow there; However according to the mini-doc, a huge problem is "unemployment".

We make Canada the 51st state, Russia the 52nd.
All this in Trump's 3rd term.

The Cold Rush
quote:
In December 2024, China unveiled a huge flat-top cargo ship it described as "polar ready." As big as an aircraft carrier, the Fan Zhou 8 has the capability to transport ultra-large components while carving through thick sea ice. Its appearance is indicative of the "Cold Rush"—a new geoeconomic competition to extract additional mineral wealth from the Arctic.
Indeed, the gradual yet relentless melting of the polar ice cap is likely to open up new sea routes across the Arctic Ocean, thus facilitating access to previously untapped natural resources. The economic rewards are potentially huge, but the environmental damage and loss of biodiversity to the region is incalculable. Analysts are also voicing defense and security concerns.

Why do you need a lot of people to live somewhere for trains to pass through? You ever heard of the transcontinental railroad, dumbass. It’s not for the few people living in remote Alaska and Siberia. It’s to pass goods between two hemispheres.

He must think he can make a lot of money from it.
