Fun fact. One of the sole reasons Canada exists. Was because the British were beyond paranoid and afraid of a rail line linking the United States and Russia. Not to mention the U.S having a direct land route to Alaska.
A tunnel across the Bering Strait would be built as three parallel undersea tunnels spanning approximately 64 to 74 miles (103–119 km), including approach sections inland on both the Alaskan and Russian coasts. The project involves two main double-deck tunnels for two-way rail, road, and utility traffic, plus a smaller central service tunnel for emergency access, ventilation, and maintenance.
Construction methodology includes 24/7 underground work about 100 feet (30 meters) below sea level, where steady temperatures of 25–30°C (77–86°F) reduce the need for artificial cooling. Excavated crushed basalt gravel (around 50 million cubic meters) would be repurposed to construct railway beds extending thousands of miles into Alaska and Russia. Massive underground depots at tunnel entrances would shelter workers and equipment from extreme surface conditions, with warm tunnel air helping to moderate depot temperatures.
Key components of the plan include:
Dual-level traffic: Lower levels for heavy rail and pipelines; upper levels for high-speed maglev trains and automobiles.
Ventilation shafts on Big and Little Diomede Islands midway through the route.
Electrification powered by regional hydroelectric sources.
Estimated completion time of 12–15 years and costs ranging from $35 billion to over $100 billion, depending on scope.
Despite technical feasibility, the project faces major hurdles including lack of existing infrastructure on both sides, extreme logistics, and geopolitical coordination among multiple nations
I don't know to be honest. All i know is that the cabal wants to pack 1st world nations with 3rd world people to weaken them, and i could see this turning sour. Right now we have oceans as a buffer that keeps things slow. But a high speed rail and road changes all of that, and means we're suddenly neighbors with China/India etc. All i can hope is that the protections are strong.
DJT is going to make the world great again so predatory migration won't be a thing anymore anyway. Opening up Alaska and eastern Russia to development would be awesome, I can't wait.
Russia seems good.. for now.. but im thinking more of the future when say a Russian-Biden and a US-Biden are leaders of each country at the same time. That could be very bad.
I understand. But it would be alot easier to control the flow at the tunnel vs. the rest of our boarders. But if we have a gov. like the last one. That might be a problem. But Russia would have to be ok with it,either way.
That is true about the Russia part, but the same problem here with the last admin can always happen in Russia too, and if it just so happens they both align at the same time.. it could be a really big problem.
It's in Siberia. If migrants think they'll sneak into the USA the same way they do the UK by sneaking on the train then good luck to them. The road of bones needs major repairs 🤣
In which direction? Anybody attempting to get into the U.S. by a tunnel with mandatory exit procedures, would also have to traverse all of Russian asia. Likewise, anyone from the U.S. direction would have to hike across Canada and Alaska, only to greet Russian security on the other end. I can't imagine any takers.
The Cabal has been trying for hundreds of years to prevent the U.S. and Russia from becoming trade partners. Russia knows this and has shown great restraint amid world tensions.
Russia and the US will sign an agreement tomorrow on a tunnel across the Bering Strait, says Kirill Dmitriev.
▪️The countries will continue designing a tunnel between Russia and the US.
▪️"Tomorrow we are signing an agreement to continue designing the tunnel. The tunnel will be built. This will be one of the major infrastructure projects between our countries," said the head of the RDIF.
▪️Earlier, Dmitriev noted that a tunnel connecting Russia and Alaska across the Bering Strait could be built in less than eight years, and its cost would not exceed $8 billion.
Rail also provides an interesting medium cost/medium speed shipping option.
Rail shipping from China to Europe was becoming somewhat popular in the 2010s for moderate value bulky items. Sea is much cheaper and much slower, and air is much faster and much more expensive.
Our times are becoming more than historic. They are becoming fabulous (and I don't mean that in any sarcastic way). Dare we then think of a rail connection from there to Greenland? Or to the Panama Canal?
When I was very young, I read a book titled "Engineer's Dreams" by Willy Ley (1954), which discussed various eyebrow-raising proposals for megaprojects. (My favorite was damming the Congo River to create a huge lake in the Congo basin of Africa.) This is beginning to look like a chapter out of that book.
Both of the two double-deck main tunnels (each 54 feet/16.5 meters outside diameter, 49 feet/15 meters inside diameter) will accommodate two-way traffic between Alaska and Russia. Both tunnels will also include two levels of traffic: the bottom part will have a heavier railway for high-speed cargo and passenger rail traffic; an upper level will include space for magnetic levitation trains, one or two lanes for automobiles, and additional space for a future Airless Maglev Tube Transport system (at speeds of up to 4,000 miles per hour). Still other space at the right and left "corners" of the bottom level will be used for water, gas and oil pipelines plus electrical and fiber optic cables.
It was the great railway-building thrust led by President
Abraham Lincoln and his economic advisor, Henry C. Carey,
that laid the basis for creating a rail network crossing the
Bering Strait. In 1869, at Promontory Point, Utah, the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific railroads were joined, creating the
Transcontinental Railroad, which linked the United States from
coast to coast—Lincoln’s great vision. At the U.S. Centennial
Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876, exhibits and discussions
were held on building rail networks, including by internation-
al figures such as the Russian scientist and railway builder
Dmitri Mendeleyev. In the 1890s, American nationalist net-
works joined their Russian counterparts in building the Trans-
Siberian Railroad.
I would rather see a "panama canal" built from the Gulf of California north to the Salton Sea. Open an inland shipping port and set up desalination plants for the southwestern states. Build housing developments with canals in every backyard, to access the lakes that will fill the lowlands along the route.

Kirill thinks less than 8years and no more than 8billion. Either way it's cool AF. And thx for the info fren.
Boring company?
That's exactly what it sounds like to me.
It's funny how we had a huge hullabaloo when that company opened, and then we never ever heard a peep about the boring company ever since ..
Almost like the company is just a front, for real tunneling they have been doing secretly ever since.
I just hope it's been white hat tunneling and now NYC tunnel rats behind it
Didn't he build 70miles of tunnels in Las Vegas faster and cheaper than Newscum bridge to nowhere that is supposed to be a high speed rail project?
lmao, Me and my buddy Pedro could build more bridge meters in a week than Newscum has built in a decade....
Not a hard obstacle to overcome
Well full disclosure News um was spending the money paying the staff at French Laundry to let Newscum relate them...
The infrastructure is probably already there in some form or another. That should make things a little easier.
OK, that's interesting.
I'm still iffy about this.
On one hand it's nice, but on the other hand that tunnel will become the expressway for mass immigration.
Wouldn't it be another blow to the City of London.

But the people on the other side of that tunnel are not useless criminals and naer-do-wells...
Life is hard in that part of the world and so people know how to work.
I'm not trying to say they're all bad, but i have seen a lot of bad criminal elements from there set up shop here.
I guess that there probably is a Vladivostok mafia, but they are small potatoes compared to the Ukrainian ones....
So is Russia part of the cabal? I thought the cabal was fighting the Russians, hence the Ukraine war, pushback on syria, etc
Also, isn't Putin NOT in the Epstein files?
Russia seems good.. for now.. but im thinking more of the future when say a Russian-Biden and a US-Biden are leaders of each country at the same time. That could be very bad.

Agree.100%
Airplanes defeat your comforting oceans, you are thinking with a 100 years ago mindset...
They already fly the shithole people to south America and train or tunnel of fly them in....
A little to late to think oceans stop anyone
It's in Siberia. If migrants think they'll sneak into the USA the same way they do the UK by sneaking on the train then good luck to them. The road of bones needs major repairs 🤣
Tacos in Kamchatka!
Nice.

I'm just thinking of what we saw at the mexico border under biden. It may be very different in another time.
Yeah, very limited window if you don't want to freeze to death making that journey on foot
We will need western Canada for travel to our lower fifty also. High speed rail would be nice too !
Or over to Alberta and then south
immigration from Russia is very low compared to the ridiculous countries
Natural trade partners. The Cabal loses power.
The Cabal has been trying for hundreds of years to prevent the U.S. and Russia from becoming trade partners. Russia knows this and has shown great restraint amid world tensions.
Just don't put Newsome in charge of getting it done.
Honestly, think it would be pretty damn cool to drive to Europe.
Historic! First link between 2 continents since Beringea.

They also need a road from Fairbanks to the coast....
That's easy. Russia needs to rebuild the road of bones.
Among other things. It's a big state.
Well, this is very cool - but where is the positive ROI from these tunnels? Do we have so much trade that it can't be handled by ships?
There must be more going on here...
Pipeline is interesting.
Rail also provides an interesting medium cost/medium speed shipping option.
Rail shipping from China to Europe was becoming somewhat popular in the 2010s for moderate value bulky items. Sea is much cheaper and much slower, and air is much faster and much more expensive.
Yes shipping is the most cost effective still but a tunnel is more secure versus having to protect open water ways.
Our times are becoming more than historic. They are becoming fabulous (and I don't mean that in any sarcastic way). Dare we then think of a rail connection from there to Greenland? Or to the Panama Canal?

Woohoo. I want to visit Mother Russia! WWG1WGA!
There is that 88 comm again! 8billion, 8years. Post 88 is the one that starts with Ten Days, Darkness, Scare tactics (MSM)....
u/#q88
less than 8 billion dollars in less than 8 years of construction ..... Plus: hooking up China by rail .....
This could very well be a very lucrative project.
Read this: https://archive.schillerinstitute.com/conf-iclc/2010/0925_berlin_cooper.html
Now consider what has changed since the first proposal way back when ... and how Modi proposed IMEEC ...and what it transports ...
https://info-quest.org/INTERBERING_TUNNEL_PLAN.html It even speaks of :

Thx Skipper.
With the pole shift coming, this will end up being in the equatorial region in the future. Very interesting
City of London has been fighting this project for over 150 years... What's old is new again...
