Let's just call it the Epstein Tunnel
Putin envoy says US., Russia will build Chukotka–Alaska tunnel
June 4, 2026
MSN / NV - The New Voice of Ukraine
The comments were reported by Russian state propaganda outlets.
“As for the tunnel, we will have news tomorrow: we are signing an agreement that we are continuing the design work on the tunnel; the tunnel will happen,” Dmitriev said.
Dmitriev also said he spoke June 3 with U.S. presidential special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, and that they discussed “joint economic initiatives” between the United States and Russia. He added that, in his view, there is a “constant dialogue” between the Kremlin and the White House because Washington “is trying to promote peace.”

This disastrous idea has been circulating quite some time and was discussed here in DU last year.

Connect the least populated area of North America to the least connected area of Asia? Sure, why not. I'm sure there will be heavy traffic of 10-15 cars per month/year. Or let's make it a train tunnel where the nearest railheads are 1500 miles away.
Great idea!
