Russia approves $65 billion TUNNEL from Siberia to Alaska!!!

and so it begins...

Siberian Express just got that much more exciting. I'm in!

that means they've already had it for 20 years
.

Just who in the USA approved this?

Do the people of Alaska want it? Not likely.

Do the Canadians want it? No, not them either.

Can't imagine anyone in the lower 48 wanting it.

So, just who is on our end of things?

Is this another crazy thing Obama said yes to?

Make it wide enough to fit a T-90 through.

The Russians are Coming!

Note that Alaska was sold to the United States by Russia.

Alaska was purchased from the Russian Empire on March 30, 1867, for $7.2 million ($113 million in today's dollars) at about two cents per acre ($4.74/km²). The land went through several administrative changes before becoming an organized (or incorporated) territory on May 11, 1912, and the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959.



Perhaps with the broke American empire drawing to an ugly close, Russia's coming to collect its collateral?

And yes, those tunnels will be plenty wide for T-80s to fit through.

pretty cheap considering what will happen when this opens

PIN?

You might be onto something, Sell Alaska, that has to be worth a few trillion, right? Plus Russia will be right outside Sarah Palins doorstep, maybe she will learn some foreign policy by actually living in a foreign land.

The Bering straight is MUUUUUCH more treacherous than the English Channel. I hope they pull it off, assuming it really is a go.

for wat?

Is this a joint project? Or solely funded by the Russian government?

What a ridiculous waste of money. Why don't they feed the poor with it?

Russia never PAYS for shit.

Why should Canada have a say in this?

wouldn't that make it... one world?

Can't wait to take a nuclear train ride across the Siberian tundra in the dead of winter.

I've always wanted to motorcycle around the world. This is a good first step.

hahaha

Chicks dig trucks over there.

Why yes it would!
