Bering strait bridge

what even happens in uelen and nome

Nigga you can’t even drive from Vladivostok to Moscow

let's build a $2trillion bridge to connect two desolate ice plains so that two groups consisting of less than a few thousand people who share no common interests can easily visit each other

OP is a fag

Nobody would drive but a high speed freight train could go there saving probably up to a week in shipping time from china to the US compared to oceanic.
It's mostly just this. USA is afraid Russia will use the bridge to reconquer their clay, which is exactly what happened after they built a bridge to Crimea

Drunk eskimos.
Russian side of the strait has the highest murder rate per capita in all of Russia, even exceeding Tuva where a rite of passage is stabbing someone with a sharpened spoon.
Alaska's would match if you took away all the white people, which is exactly what happened in far east Russia post-communism.

It's not original. And the litany of problems with the idea have already been discussed at length.

okay why?
case in point, connecting Malmo to Copenhagen
niggers flow in

It would put Siberia in the US sphere and supply lines. The US can maintain a large military presence in Alaska, with that supply route that would also apply in Siberia but Moscow can barely field an army there.

but a high speed freight train could go there saving probably up to a week in shipping time from china to the US compared to oceanic.

There is not railroads there

building a 1000 mile long bridge to connect the most undeveloped, unpopulated areas of two countries that hate each other

Proof that earth is flat and usa and russia is one country.
People here laughed at me when i told them the usa and russia are one country i dont hear them laughing now

There are bloodlines across the strait, aquatic humans have always paddled or sailed back and forth. Amur tigers swim the strait - they occasionally cause problems up in the Villages.

I think it's an island with ten sides.

undeveloped

That's how you develop them, assuming there's significant trade between US, Russia and China but because there's not they should make a bridge between the 51st state and the US territory of Greenland instead.

Their clay

Alaska has been a state for 66 years and has been US territory since 1867, and the vast majority of the population are Americans. There are barely even any Orthodox there anymore, and the Orthodox churches that are there are mostly Greek, not Russian. Russia has no claim to Alaska. It's ours, fuck off.

It would be built by niggers, spics and jeets over the span of 150 years and 7000 gorrilion dollars only for a jeet ship to crash into it 1 week after it's finished

No one bothers with high speed trains for freight. It's for baseline bulk.
The point would be for Eurasia to have a way of conducting bulk trade with the Americas without needing to deal with ocean shipping. But as others have noted, neither Alaska nor Russia have rail connections anywhere near the Bering Strait.

Railroads are 19th century tech, not hard to build.

Ever heard of a rail road?

There is no bridge or tunnel for the same reason they didn't build a road through the Darien Gap.

in buckminster fuller's "world game" simulations, this bridge, train + a cross-strait energy cable and pipeline were the keys to a successful world system iirc

this, sending things is cheaper using ships than using trucks,
at least it would be without the clownish regulations the US imposes on itself, but that's a different story

It's only about 38 kilometers from each island to the continent.

What is holding us back?

purpose

Russia is a boil on the world's ass, and shouldn't be connected to anything.

Technical concerns

Bering Strait depth
Distance
The straight distance between Russia and Alaska is 82.5 kilometers (51.3 mi). If building bridges and using the Diomede Islands, the straight distance over water for the three parts would be 36.0 km (22.4 mi), 3.8 km (2.4 mi) and 36.8 km (22.9 mi), in total 76.6 km (47.6 mi).

There is bad terrain under the ocean and icebergs. Even if we could build something it would probably get destroyed

Russia doesn't even have a railroad leading to Chukotka. The one road leads to Magadan and thats it, but not to Chukotka where this bridge would connect. So Chukotka would have better connection with USA, than with Russia proper.

thats why Russian president would be afraid to build that bridge, because USA would have even more influence on Chukotka than Moscow because of this bridge

The longest train tunnel in the world is 86km in China. The longest tunnel is the Delaware Aqueduct, 137 km built in WW2.

Of course, the reason why there are no roads there is also the reason why there is no point building a bridge to there. Nobody lives there. There's no benefit to such infrastructure.

The point would be for Eurasia to have a way of conducting bulk trade with the Americas without needing to deal with ocean shipping.

There is no problem with shipping by ocean. It's cheapest transportation. You think as landlubber.

It would cost enormous funds to build railroad to Kamchatka. It's mountainous terrain in arctic permafrost and coldest region of Russia. Road to connect nothing with nothing.

well, if there was a road, we could trains with goods from USA going to Europe/Asia through Russia

and vice versa with Asian/European goods going on a train to USA

and have trains with titanium/aluminium/iron/coal from Russia going to USA

no need for ships at all, just endless trains lines between continents.

build the chad bridge

Road to connect nothing with nothing.

We could connect Kamchatka with Japan via rail too. And connect Japan with Korea via tunnel.

would be neat to backpack across the Bering Straight

Alaska isn’t even adjusted to an merica

what
stop huffing gas

Why the god damned fuck would anyone want to go to russia on purpose?

connect

Fuck that we need to be walling places off. 20 good men could have California walled off in a few hours.

in theory even Kim Jong Un could travel on his armored train through Russia to USA on official visit if such a bridge and the road is built

The Big Chad Russian Diomede

VS

The Little Itty Bitty American Diomede

A crossing would give Russia/China a significant advantage in the control of goods and freight. US transport industries would die overnight.

Humans

Feeling generous today huh..?

So just found out 77 people live on the American one
what do they even do?

That's the real location of Elgin AFB

Russia did not invade Ukraine over the bridge dipshit. Putin is not retarded enough to spend $200 billion dollars building this bridge to nowhere to then send his army over said bridge and have it be blown up

Amur tigers swim the strait - they occasionally cause problems up in the Villages.

no way.

What is holding us back?

Mud, it's super muddy. A pile driver will drive out there and get stuck in 1 minute. When I took this pic I'm thinking death is nearby but I can't see it. It's a literal bone yard.

Probably just monitor weather, ice, crabs and Russia.

catch fish and watch Netflix

A lot of people here have asian wives and asian children.. so what is your problem?

Well for one thing thats beastiality. Humans shouldn't breed with bugs.

If there was a road

But there isn't, and nobody is interested in building one just to facilitate trade over some of the least amenable and least populate terrain in the world (not to mention the political problems) when they could just use boats instead and skip going through Siberia.

Truck/train breaks down halfway across the fucking ocean

Welp guess I'll call AAA

What's the point of this? Driving goods from North America to Asia would be costlier than shipping across ocean regardless.

a railroad to fucking where?
who the fuck lives in east russia?
who the fuck lives in alaska?

From Manjuria to California

shut up nigger

That's the distance equivalent of 50 Switzerlands. You guys simply cannot comprehend S-P-A-C-E

Oh look its a retard

Water levels

Try erosion and tectonic plates shifting, climate change fag

Nobody is moving troops through Siberia. Its a frozen waste in winter and the worlds biggest swamp in the summer

transib

There is a village with around 300 russians living in Alaska

Let's make a bridge so people can go from one frozen wasteland to another.

Why?

ERGENTINA IS WHITE

Let's build like a $100bil+ bridge that connects the most depopulated shithole regions of Russia and US with permafrost and only like 2-3 months of weather that allows to build anything.

we could attempt to build a bridge for billions that never gets finished because of politics, or use boats that already exist and are bought and paid for. what makes actual sense?

One anon here nailed it. One iceberg and its over

That's cool, nobody cares. Anchorage proper is 300,000 people, 400,000 in the metro area, over 80% of which are Americans, and over 90% of which speak only English. There are more Catholics in Alaska than Orthodox, and there are even more Protestants than Catholics.

What is holding us back?

What's the point of that connection?

Way way way too many niggers and spics in alaska now thanks to drugs. Its actually crazy.

The 300 russians there have a claim, faggot, as proved by the deeds to thier land.
Fucking retard

Pointless, unless it's maglev. But if it is, connecting China to US with 400kmh train will actually be much better alternative to ships

Nobody is moving troops through Siberia.

Whoever has the trains is.
It's cheaper on average than trains because most train networks are shit. Trains are faster, can run on anything, can pick up output from the new Siberian titanium mines or whatever resources they find there, provide supplies to the excavation of the ruins of Hyperboria and supply the US invasion of Siberia.

If only we invented things that travel faster than 400kmph

Whats funny is you cant even book a direct flight from the USA to Russia and you people are all

trains r hard

I'd use it.

Those Russians have a claim only to the village they live in, which is ruled by America, faggot.

over 80% of which are Americans

lets add in some pajeets there

Connect two extremely remote places with the longest bridge over rough water

This must be the most retarded bridging idea in existence

Brown people live in harmony with nature. White euroaches can only destroy it and destabilize everything like a cancer.

build pipeline

russian troops sneak through pipe

take Alaska overnight

Many such cases

start bering my children

Your comment has no bering on this discussion please stop spatzel nigger

I think we're bering down on a great idea

Long story short is a tough place

Let's not

Just watch Deadliest Catch and see what the ocean looks like there. In winter the bridge would be a giant chunk of ice and collapse from the weight

Whenever EU decides to manifest their UKreign destiny, we can meet them conveniently halfway at the Bering sea.

a railroad to fucking where?

to da rare earfs

who the fuck lives in east russia?

da rare earfs

who the fuck lives in alaska?

glowniggers and eskimoniggers
