    Can you imagine? I can. I bet the chinese would build a superbridge through the Bering Strait if Alaska were part of china

    *for trains

      Thats wildly impractical and an ecological-engineering nightmare. Which is why, funny enough, third-positionist duginists/larouchites fucking love the idea.

      Just for people to get an idea for how wild of an idea it is, hop on Google maps and just look at how much untouched wild lands, swamps, tundra, etc. Are between Anchorage and Wales (AK), then the length between the Alaskan-Russia peninsulas in the Bering sea, then the amount of wild lands, swamps, and tundra between Naukan to Heihi. It’s a wild amount of kilometers to cover via train!

        Would it be difficult and stupid? Sure, but after a century of triumphs the peoples’ republic will need new challenges rat-salute-2

          Honestly would be better to just invest in green aviation or nauticsl technology and just travel conventionally

          Fine I’m claiming it. We’re building a mile-tall colossus of John Brown.

        hear me out: a high-speed train pontoon bridge from Shanghai to San Francisco, connected to CAHSR

        this is how we connect Beijing to Bakersfield inshallah
