A Rail Bridge & Natural Gas Pipeline Is the real plan for Bering Straight Bridge, not a bridge for cars.
So it would be a bridge to everywhere, as the connecting railway & pipeline are feasible....

Lmao!
@@msergio0293 lots of "tribes" seem to have alcohol problems: aborigines in Australia, maoris/Polynesians in New Zealand, and apparently native americans too. The problem is alcohol was a drug that is a large part of European culture, so when colonialism happened, these people have something new that is highly destructive, and not part of their natural culture.

not until a russian coup or break up
i was making a alt history fanfic in my head of a successful democratic takeover with a semi rule transition like mcarthur on japan. my character wanting to fix the deplatformed republics, former putin supporters be fined and rehab, give reparations and justice for ukraine, georgia, chechnya, dagestan, finland,poland,etc, abolish the kleptocratic mafia security state system and seize/destroy oligarchs & criminal russian underworld.
make public works (un-shithole housing, make sewers & toilets work again, revamp education system & history classes of all our atrocities be known, pension & help elderly, release political prisoners & un-exiled expats, make reforms to quarantine/clan up pollution on the mines like norilysk & vorkuta and regulated private businesses approved on r/workreform or antiwork)
russian society deprogrammed, repressed neo-soviet putinisms and secularization of religion & state, plus in many of it's regions who had been impoverised have autonomy & promote new infrastructure till if healthy to have their own industry to survive on, make new voting platforms and try to fix the demographic problems and find ways how to bring back business & new global reputation as the world is alienated.
how? start making bridges but to do that since russia is so vast need a modernized interstate highway like system and trains to link up Whole of Russia & Eurasia. then make bering strait bridge and the bridge on japan hoikkaido on the islands to vladivostok. goal is to revitalize the economy to make ongoing/loan for the rebuilding of ukraine and if lucky to have a marhall plan 2.0 funding by the UN. benefits of said bridges can knock out the reality of russians who led by their lives isolated/stereotyped the west, especially the US. we could welcome exchanges via american to japanese soft power, manpower, maybe promote programs to send immigrants, goods/trade very in need and have people rely on as kids could get enticed to be pro-west. many things i could add in my mind on reform and my democratic character tongue in check make good use of housing price of a rubble and universal healthcare too so some muricans can cross over for affordable treatment.
yet all in all its fantasy aint it?
I always see Russia and Alaska on the map an think:
Do it.
RH Disc Golf and* but also I agree
Same
I do too.
I think that we're gonna do it, but first the political status have to don't cause any disputes, so it will be doable mostly, I think, if (or to say when :)) ) Alaska will be back in Russia, or became an independent country, and this is also possible I think. So hopefully, anyways I hope this territories from both sides will be more inhabited, and the bridge or tunnel will be built!
Today (this day when I write this comment) Russia launches a railroad bridge to Crimea, it has been developed as project built till the end in just five years and a half! Just imagine - it took ONLY FIVE YEARS FROM ZERO to build a bridge that length a quarter (or a half if it will be built from both sides) like the bridge we need to build in Bering Strait. So this means - it's ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE to do it! And with our enthusiasm I think we'll see this bridge during our lifetime!

You should get one of those old AE86 Corolla's like the one from Initial D, supe it up and Tokyo drift down the bridge.
I've always been fascinated with this bridge ever since I read it in a story one time, it took place in the far future and ai was driving cars but I still love the idea that a long bridge would connect Alaska and Russia just because it would simply be cool.
I like how it completely skirts the diplomatic challenges. It just about takes an existential threat for both of the involved countries to consider a group project of any magnitude.
The cooperate well enough with their space programs
The video did float the idea of a pipeline. Maybe that would provide an incentive
If they did build a bridge mr beast would drive from Argentina to South Africa
Lol good one 😂
But there is no road connecting South America and North America because of the Darien Gap up between Panama and Colombia.
That would be a good video
You also can't drive from North America to South America either because there is a jungle area with no roads. Some did cross in a vehicle doing serious off roading shit, but it took them weeks to achieve. But if the Bering Strait bridge is not viable, then maybe making a path through the Darien Gap is a better challenge to tackle first.
@@Scott89878 very risky too man, like you can be pulled up by some stupid cop and send you to jail for nothing.

I watched a national geographic film about this bridge. One thing they said is "it would basically connect nowhere to nowhere", and even if someday it is actually built then it would have to be really long to have any meaning, hence to actually connect two significant cities. And let's say that happened, it would be endless to drive through, and you'd have to make a long expensive network of gas stations and maintain all of them in the middle of nowhere, not to mention the never ending maintenance of the road, its safety and the actual bridge, all vulnerable to harsh arctic conditions. Maybe like a train railway can play a significant role in connecting the two massive continents via land, but apparently railways tend to be constructed after and in addition of existing roads. I just wonder if such a bridge or tunnel is economically lucrative to build in the first place.
If it’s there they would use it
If you need it for cargo maybe its worth it?
So yeah, that won't be happening.

There is a lot of private funds and investors who want to build this
This New Bridge will benefit transcontinental logistics and vacations for millions of people around the world who want to save money on travel. It will also open up opportunities to find new discoveries of oil and fuel for cars as well as energy. It will also raise community values in Alaska and in Russia. It could even reopen the US and Russia’s alliance together and ultimately bring World Peace in the end. I will plan the project and hire thousands of workers to build the project and fund millions of dollars of government funding to finance the bridge for construction. I’m Matty Iannielli and I support this message.

Update: Turns out the “3rd island” is called Fairway Rock and isn’t considered part of the Diomede Islands.
Buckminster Fuller (who invented the geodesic dome) suggested putting high voltage wires across the same route and connecting the electrical grids so they could be synchronized with each other. The engineers on their side provided a two word report on the idea. "Possible, Desirable" Of course nothing ever got done about it.
I think it would be successful, personally I prefer to drive than just take a plane… it’s actually fun to stop between towns, spend the night and then continue to the final destination.

I can imagine the bridge being built for symbolic purposes even if it wouldn't be used a lot by the citizens
When/If Russia gets rid of Putin and if it becomes a better place to live, as well as less aggressive and more pacifistic(and hopefully America would do the same), i can imagine the bridge being built to symbolize co-operation and kinda like friendship, the island in the middle of the 2 bridges could have a statue of "Uncle Sam" and some Russian equivalent of that, or some other Russian icon shaking hands or something
