1. Years ago when relations were a bit better that would have been an interesting project. Nowadays, not so much.

2. What about border walls to keep "out" enemies?

Oh!!! those are for Browns and blacks. No walls for white trillionaire DICKtators, like daddy.

4. +1. Though, it would be relatively easy to close that tunnel.

9. Have all

three of them and their families meet in the middle for a grand opening celebration, then seal off both ends with faucets to flood it. Slowly. Make the World Great Again.
Genocide all of those three gene pools.
Peacefully of course.

3. Why? There's not much there on either side...

5. Hope someone can invent an airplane to fly over that distance

[CousinIT]

6. Riiiight....

Yeah. Give Putin a tunnel to march military convoys directly into Alaska. Yeah. And Elon Musk's company is a "suggested" contractor.

I DON'T THINK SO!

7. Is this to supplement the much larger tunnel between

Moscow and Mar-a-Lago?

8. A 70+ mile underwater tunnel? Pffft. Between two undeveloped remote regions in the Arctic Circle? PFFFT!

$8 billion my freaking ass. Maybe if prices were what they were 40 years ago

From wiki:
2008 Russian estimates: $65-66 billion for the complete project

And who would have guessed that Eloon's "The Boring Company" is being floated (by Russia) as JUST the contractor to do it?

18. Exactly Where I Went

I'm seeing that cost at 1/4th of that per mile!
And I may be underestimating.

10. Oh, for God sake, that's

All we would need! NO THANK YOU!!

11. If Trump approves this, his MAGA will get unglued.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Why? Who would use it? The Russian army?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

13. Because his Vegas tunnel is such a hit

[Conjuay]

14. It's not like they get earthquakes or nothing...

[pandr32]

16. I was thinking the same.

[C_U_L8R]

15. $8 billion could fund a whole fleet of ferries and then some

IF they are even needed. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
Seems almost as ridiculous as the Arch de Trump.

[tirebiter]

17. Truckloads of Alaskan rare earth would start hauling out immediately.

Not everybody’s first thought. Trump and Putin’s. First priority

19. Wait...this isn't from Sarah Palin's X account? LOL

[wcmagumba]

20. Uh, no...
