Is it going to be a Lyndon LaRouche rail tunnel across the Bering Strait?

The Russians have been pushing for that for a long time. It wouldn't surprise me if Trump greenlit the project. Plus, it will really piss off the Chinese, which will be funny.

>>512960558 (OP)
Very very beautiful Piss deal in two weeks.

Alaska is Russia.

What would be the point of a massively expensive tunnel connecting Nome with some empty shithole in Siberia? You can't even get to Nome for several months out of the year except by plane or dogsled.

>>512961226
My understanding is that the original project was for an area further south via Saint Lawrence, but it has been a long time since I looked into this. Like somewhere around Nunam Iqua.

>>512961706
That's "further south" by like 50 miles. What would be the point of it?

>>512961890
No, I think you are right, it is Nome. The idea is to connect Coldfoot to Nome. What is the point? There is a railway from Fairbanks to Anchorage. The ultimate goal of the project was to connect Fairbanks to Nome and Fairbanks to Prince Rupert. The Road system is merely an added benefit. The Russian side is Nižnij Bestjach to somewhere in Novoye Chaplino. It has always been this insane project that the Russians have wanted since Putin took power.

>>512962521
What would be the point of the railroad though? Ships are a thing.

>>512961226
Empty, symbolic gestures still hold weight on the international stage which is mostly comprised of empty, symbolic gestures. Plus it’ll be a good project for everyone that gets sent to the camps.

It's railways, its gas lines, and roads. Why? The Russians want to be the bridge between Eurasia and North America. Corridor projects like this rarely make logistical sense. They are about access and leverage over the people that rely on them. Russia is the king of cold ports. Most of their shipping lanes are frozen over most of the year, so they have always relied on railways. If they had a warm port in Siberia, they wouldn't have pushed this insane project for decades.

>>512963177
It makes no sense at all, that's for sure.

>>512960558 (OP)
It's just a big sideshow that will accomplish nothing, while helping Trump try to make people forget about Epstein.

>>512961226
There's not much on either side of the Bering Strait but ideally it would connect a cross continental railway or something. Maybe eventually connecting Vladivostok and Anchorage or something.

>>512961226

balls on the table

>>512963269
My understanding is they want to pay for most of it, and insane projects like this are how you foster deeper ties with nations. It has the benefit of driving a giant wedge between the RF and CCP. For us, it isn't very beneficial economically, but if you got even a portion of it greenlit, it would kill the China-Russian relationship.

>>512963446
>Maybe eventually connecting Vladivostok and Anchorage or something.
WOW, that woul accomplish so much wouldn't it? Then Russia could send timber from Siberia to Alaska, because Alaska doesn't have timber of its own! And there's no railway connection Alaska to the rest of the US because of all the mountains and swamps and endless taiga...and the fact that it is much cheaper to move things by ship anyway.

Option 1 - Trump flips out again, treating Putin the same way he treated Zelensky
Option 2 - Trump cucks to Putin

The first is the only real choice he has otherwise he will be letting this faggot talk shit to him.

>>512960558 (OP)
That would be historic and help keep russia out of upcoming taiwan affairs with china.

>>512961226
You are not forward thinking.
Arctic circle is opening up with the ice melting that is going to change trade routes.

lmao! Russia is poor as fuck.
>>512964145
So what would be the point of a railroad then retard? Just use ships.

>>512964342
holy fuck you're genuinely retarded

>>512964342
It's laying rail, not a mission to Mars. If things go back to business as usual, they shouldn't have a problem paying for it with oil and gas money from Gazprom. Pulling it off is a bigger issue than the cash.

>>512964534
>Arctic circle is opening up with the ice melting
>That's why we need a railraid instead of shipping
holy fuck you're genuinely retarded
>>512964727
The issue isn't IF it can be done, but whether it makes any economic sense to do it at all.

>>512960558 (OP)
Putin will bend Trump over and fuck him in the ass, Trump has no cards so he has no choice but to accept everything that russia demands

>>512961226
To let the Chinese finally colonize the americas.

>>512964920
It 100% doesn't make economic sense. Logistic corridor projects rarely do in the modern day. It is about who controls the corridor, not how to make the most logical economic corridor. Whether it can be done matters more than whether it should in this situation.

>>512965505
They all want out of China very very badly don't they?

>>512960558 (OP)
Putin is going to lay out the terms on the table again and the american side will pretend like they never saw the terms before even though those have been well known for years, then Trump will over promise peace in the media but later on rage on truth social about how Putin does not want peace because of the total failure of a conference didn't go as he and his sycophants planned. What is coming is billions to Israel and total failures in all other diplomatic and military matters

The Bering Strait Connection
Posted on April 19, 2016

(Excerpt from “The United States Joins The New Silk Road: A Hamiltonian Vision for an Economic Renaissance”)
The ancient Silk Road linked two great centers of civilization—Asia and Europe—uniting the landmass of Eurasia into a single continent and opening the interior of this continent to human settlement and a cross-fertilization of culture. The New Silk Road, which is already in the process of being built, promises to far supersede the historic accomplishments of its namesake. It is integrating Eurasia through modern modes of high-speed transport and other types of development, but can also be extended on a global scale.

The New Silk Road can become the World Land-Bridge by means of the construction of a Bering Strait rail connection, uniting the two great landmasses of the planet, Eurasia and the Americas, just as the original Silk Road bridged the East and West. Imagine boarding a magnetically-levitated train in downtown Paris or Berlin, travelling at 250 mph across the steppes of Siberia, through an underwater Bering Strait tunnel across more than 50 miles of ocean, emerging on the other side in Alaska, and ultimately arriving in New York City!

Not only would the completion of the Bering Strait rail connection connect these two great landmasses and place them in direct economic, cultural, and commercial communication with each other, but it would definitively shift the center of global civilization away from the trans-Atlantic and towards the Pacific basin, as well as opening up the Arctic, mankind’s modern-day frontier, to human exploration and development.
