builds this huge highway from china to the states through Alaska. and Canada and doesn't even mention Canada, like the states has some magic button to force the highway.
plus hows this supposed to happen when trump likes to put walls around the states and any other country. we all know how well that turned out for east and west Germany.

haha, good comment.
"And That Would Be aaa HUUGE Bridge, very beautiful Bridge!"
No, he will say: "China will pay for it."
"I build bridges, all of the time. Russia and Chiiiiinnnaaa are building a bridge, without US involvement. Sad! I build bridges better, I make the best bridges, this bridge will make America great again! (And the snow Mexicans will pay for it!)

Go away Canada were building a bridge
$0.02 an acre?
What a friggin bargian
While this sounds good at first, you have to account for inflation. $7.2 million back in 1850s would be 100 of billions of dollars.
@@timothybennett0313 not even close. if you consider inflation the $7.2 mio turn out to be roughly $130 mio today. Still dirt cheap.

At those times there was a big risk that Russia would lose it to the British for free so it was beneficial to both sides.

@@Azknowledgethirsty Let's be honest, no one in Vancouver will notice it.
that is connecting alaska (700 000 population) with chukotka (50 000 population). If we think about the landmass these regions possess (chukotka - 1 france, alaska 2,5 france)... I really dont see any point to build a bridge and railway in a mountain tundra region with very harsh conditions. You will just need the 50 000 ppl of chukotka to maintain the infrastructure xD. There are literally no MILLION cities around and no one wants to live there because you have to heat your home 12 months a year.
I have a feeling that this bridge will be the setting for Call Of Duty WW3.
Its the plot from AW all over again

14,000 years ago the Bering Strait was a land bridge. Sea-levels were low enough for hunter-gatherers to make the crossing on foot. People left the North Asian Steppe to eventually populate North and South America.
During winter the 2.4 mile gap between the Diomedes completely freezes, this allowed the native populations to make the crossing from America to Russia on foot. Trade and travel between the Diomedes was common until the Cold War, the border became known as the “Ice Curtain”. Little Diomede still has 110 American residents today - they have a school, a shop, and a helicopter for the postman.
Karl Bushby and Dimitri Kieffer’s crossing in 2006 was part of Bushby’s attempt to walk around the entire world. It took them 15 days to cross and they were arrested on arrival. This caused a major delay to his world-trip as he was banned from Russia.

[1] The CO2 values are very rough estimates. The true values can vary wildly depending on the type of fuel, engine, size of vehicle, amount of cargo on board, & sea/wind conditions. Time and cost estimates were provided by shipping companies (A1 Freight & MoveHub). Prices would likely be cheaper when negotiating in bulk or for a large established company - I enquired as an individual. Rail & Road prices came from different routes of similar length. (Journal for Transportation & Economonic Policy, 2018)
[2] International Heat Flow Commission (2015). There are small areas with much greater heat flow (up to 190mW/m2) but this map is using contours to show the average of regions.
[3] This map is only hypothetical. China are building a lot of high speed rail links across the world, but the locations and routes shown in this map are just guesswork.
China are investing a huge amount into neighbouring countries, for 4 main reasons: it eases tensions if China is spending money on them, it gives China access to critical railway and maritime routes, it allows them to easily outsource cheap material production such as steel, concrete and glass, and if countries are indebted to China they’re less likely to vote against them at international gatherings.
China were recently in a bidding war with Japan to build a new railway in Indonesia. China won by offering to build it for free. Why? Because they want their designs to become the international standard.

Good video!
Just a little heads-up here,in 5:20 Taiwan was marked red in the same color as China which I assume that you view them as a same country and that cannot be further away from truth.
It is really not a big deal,but as a Taiwanese who now faced constant threats from China to “take the island by force”I cannot help but bring light on this issue.
Other then that,great video!
Keep up the good work!
p.s. English is not by mother language.Sorry for any grammatical error .
@@user-ef7hl4tu7k I mean Taiwan is a Chinese country, just not a part of China.
Or you can argue that China is a Chinese country, but not ruled by the Taiwanese goverment (which is a different goverment of China)
We should do that again
Lol I know thats not how it works
I’ll wait for the bridge between America & Ireland 🇺🇸 🌉 🇮🇪
@Hubert Jasieniecki lol
Connecting the few tens of miles of roads between Panama and Colombia would be cheaper and a lot more relevant than a Bering pass. The Pan American Highway would be complete
Mac Lochlainn probably never gonna happen there’s really know reason to spend that much money on a bridge across the Atlantic lol

Relationship between UK and Europe... Definition of word "Swimmingly" I haven't heard before...

It's a good term. They still are swimmingly, well, kinda, cuz the uk is now slowly drowning.
US*
europe is not the eu lol
Honestly if Russia and the United States were friends we’d be almost unstoppable lol
It's really true... if our two countries stopped this pissing contest they've had for decades, we could do so much
I really want both of our countries' politics to simmer down so that a strong bond between us would be more feasible. Doing that would help keep China in check.
Having a relationship with Russia to USA would be an amazing accomplishment. I really want us to stop fighting and put our past behind us. We need to build a bigger bond to do greater things in the world.
American military complex wouldn't allow that
The thing is, China is much closer to Russia, Chinese insert more in Russia's economy than the USA nowadays, it's generally more wise for Russia to keep company with China. So unless China is going to ease up on the USA and we all become happy three friends (what a pun), it's never gonna be a significant alliance between Russia and the USA.
Both are great nations. We must come together with respect and continue to be good neighbors not enemies.
Very Appreciate comment and you are beautiful appreciated Lady...

This would be the greatest thing to ever be created in my lifetime
This is something I would think about if i was still 12
Man that was harsh!
It might be naive but it's doable and it would be a great achievement and it could change history.
The only obstacle here is humans and their whims!
But if all can think of business terms and mutual benefits and not egoism and selfishness this could change.
dream big
@@user-cl4kr4dj4l its not possible, russia and the USA are at constant indirect war even as we speak, there is also no financial benefit whatsoever of building a bridge, its like putting solar pannels underground.
Hey, being 12 was fun ;-)
This is an Awful idea.
>Ships are way cheaper anyway
>China could project power into Canda and USAs Backyard
>China could overflow the american market with even more stuff
>Russia would intervene as soon as they notice that there is an oilpipeline build alongside. (Alaska would steal there market in CHina)
6:47 Pyongyang to Tokyo 😂
that map is probably just a vision for very long term after the world unites
Kamelpasa yay can’t wait for that to happen
i think he meant pyeongchang south korea
It's a strange route given the DPRK and Japan are kinda separated by miles of sea, nor are they exactly good friends, but you can get the train between Beijing and Pyongyang, a relatively popular alternative to flying between the two cities for tourists.
@@zifircin1797 Or a map someone made as a hobby and not official in any way.
Just build the 3 mile bridge between the two islands and there you have it .
Brilliant
Even better idea
Russia is such an unique nation to live in. For those living in East, USA is their neighbor. West Russia on the other hand is connected to the European nations. South Russia is close to Mongolia,China,Japan,Korea.
Like literally have half of the world as their neighbors.
Sorry but the USA and Russia use different railroad gauges
USA: 4f 8 1/2
Russia: 5f
What railroad system? @John Peric
Just use a dual gauge track.
Ever heard of Europe? Almost every single country has different railroad gauges, yet there's a load of railways connecting the continent. Just either use a dual gauge track or a pit stop station that changes the wheel measurements.
use cinese
Did you heard about oresund? Denmark an Sweden build a bridge with trains adapted for their different systems. Humans can solve problems, just if they want. Other just put excuses to don't do it.
I think it would be the perfect 'GO FUND ME project
Build a bridge, please. I m from Russia and I wanna travel to the USA.

BirdFries Not very nice ... but was thinking the exact same thing! Oh well, it was still an interesting video.
What is this specific accent? It's driving me crazy how I seem to be alone in being bothered by this weird pwonounciation
It's most likely a speech impediment called rhotacism or de-rhotacization, which makes someone unable to pronunciate the letter r.
@@pixiepandaplush It differs from language to language, among speakers of languages with trilled r, like Spanish and Arabic, it is more common. The sounds that are substituted also vary fron person to person, some use the approximant w instead of the r, others use velar approximants or uvular trills.
lmao
The project has been considered for hundreds of years, way before 1980s.
I think it's only been considered first by Tsar Alexander so maybe only A hundred.
With a couple of years ...
Edit: Added with a couple of years cause I realised we were 2019
That one bridge would connect almost the whole earth except for islands and New Zealand+Australia
Not completely. The two American continents are still isolated from one another by road and rail, because of the Darien Gap in Panama.
Australia be like, "We're good."
so you are saying they should build a bridge just for good feels? I mean you said yourself that it is not the cheapest economically and not the fastest (in terms of shipping goods). What would this bridge even be used for? You said there is a market for it but IDK what market that is...
Tourism? Not likely enough traffic to pay for it :/
You saw that the train is a good middleground for transportation. Faster than a cargo ship and cheaper and pollutes less than a plane.
Trains are good for moving the following - ua-cam.com/video/jE9vDfpxkZM/v-deo.html
friddler That side of Russia is just wasteland anyways, its about as pointless to make a bridge to Alaska as the wall suppose to keep people overstaying their visas in The US out of America from Mexico

So we are just ganna pretend canada won't be involved 🤔🤔🤔
nah if we ask them they gonna say "sorry that we havent build it yet"
Canada? Wasn't it the province?
Trump: Mahahahaha!!!!!!!!
There are already roads connecting the US through Canada to Alaska, so essentially any building would be done on American soil, and Canada wouldn't have to be involved
@@iliketrains746 they got no money for this project......they don't have guts to take a bond/loan from other countries/banks.....they care more about correct pronouns and stopping free speech.....stopping small business to grow jk
There already are roads between Alaska and the 48 contiguous US states. Hell, the US did Canada a favor when they first built these roads, by connecting the Yukon territory to the rest of Canada, a territory to which Canada would still not have built a road, if it were left to them to do so.
Just thinking about a train between continents, you're in an Alaskan train station and the board says "Shanghai express train departing in 20 minutes"
Imagine being in Mississippi and being able to take a train to Paris
Really great video, can't wait for more content!!
Very interesting video. And I have never thought of a train line...that makes great sense. Thanks for this.
geez man, if we have a bridge that link across we can do a longest road trip ever

@@sinekonata Our thousands of nuclear warheads are a guarantee that no such thing will happen.
@@generalpopcorn6427 Lol, all nukes can do is prevent direct invasion in a time of high tensions. But they do nothing against diplomatic or economic means. Russia was a vassal on the US when Eltsin took power. China kind of is too since its economy is mostly geared to serving the US, Israel is an outright vassal of the US and all have nukes. Same with India and Pakistan, they also have both nukes and a pro-US puppet. North Korea still resists but it's probably not going to take 2 decades before you see a US puppet instead of a socialist/nationalist president.
It's only a matter of time before the US becomes like England or France, once unrivalled empires that are now merely junior partners in any relationship with the US. Things change quicker than you seem to be able to see.
@@sinekonata Russia has NEVER been a vassal of the United States you insipid moron. A decline or rise in relative power between two countries does not mean that a country becomes a vassal of another. Your mind has been irreperabbly addled by too much video game fantasy and not enough real history for you to have any grasp of how international politics works. Get lost.
@@generalpopcorn6427 A country being economically at the service of another is not game fantasy and that's exactly what Russia was to the US before Putin. Reason why the US loved Eltsin with all their heart and hate Putin with the same passion.
And I'm not gonna take this insult from someone that doesn't show to know much about Russia to begin with.
Well building a bridge to Alaska without the US wanting it p, yeah no that ain’t gonna happen
@RamblingBaba _ a bridge to make shipping costs cheaper vs. a wall that just stands there uselessly. Hard choice americans.
@RamblingBaba _ It shows your idiocy, when you say it won't be useless. Most illegal immigrants, who the right puts all the blame on, overstay their visas. Out of the smaller percent of illegals that "jump over the border" a wall won't stop, because they can swim around/fly over it. Anyone with half a brain understands how autistic the whole notion is, no matter political leanings.

Amazingly done! Thank you for the interesting video!
I hope this happens to gain economic development in western Alaska and eastern Russia.
I would love to see this happen. Conecting North and South America by road, and Spain and Morroco by road also would be incredible.
Connecting North and South America probably won't happen for a very long time. The main thing stopping it from happening is the Darien Gap. The Darien Gap is notoriously hard to build a road through. It is dense rain forest and jungle. There have been talks for 50 years now and nothing has ever arisen from them.

One thing you left out when talking about roads... services. You are going to need to have gas stops, roadside hotels, restaurants (fast food or otherwise) and while these towns may grow naturally alongside highways in places like Kansas or Texas where weather is generally mild persuading people to move to frozen hellscapes to set up towns is hard, especially since everything will have to be imported so prices at gas stations for food and snacks may be ridiculous for a cross country traveler

@Simone King
Any facts statistics and or proof of this claim?
You realize that the water way between Russia and Alaska is only about 25 km across right? You do realize that large boats are a thing right?
If anything human trafficking across this waterway is even worse with boats because unlike a road where you can have guards on either side of the bridge, a boat you can't check or guard against... Alas, I guess your brain isn't big enough to comprehend these things.

Can be done. The CBBT in Virginia is 17 miles. It's a flat bridge with 2 tunnels. Has small arch suspension bridge. I think they made it for sailboats, but the ships go past where tunnels are. I just think it's a matter of when

I remember dreaming that I drove on an intercontinental highway to Russia.
I had an opposite dream
One major issue with a rail is that it doesn’t do good in extreme cold with the weight of the trains
If there was such a railway, I would love to go to Alaska, but there is one problem, it's getting from Krasnodar to Magadan.
Kind of reminds me of the transcontinental Canadian railroad
Relationships between America and Russia is similar to that of India and China
India isn't even as powerful as Russia to have relationship on equal footings with USA. India can barely stand up to Pakistan let alone USA or China.
5:45 so can someone explain how a truck can go from China to Canada in 9 to 10 days cause how is there any road to get there...?
Nice explaination....good job
Taiwan does not belong to PRC. Sorry the map is wrong.
Taiwan is not a legitimate state like Kosovo, Palestine and those pro-Russia states in Georgia.
@@leaderofthelewishpeople6382 But it technically is its own.
They have their own military, government, people, elections, politics, and basic daily life.
If they were a part of mainland China then were are the starving Child iPhone builders at? XD
just keep in mind that Taiwan is only recognized by 18 countries. It does act like an independent nation but it's still not official since most UN members do not approve Taiwan as a country.
@@leaderofthelewishpeople6382 fuсk оff, lol
@@hanjizoe2648 you guys have to remember thats china has a lot of trolls that fight the idea of taiwan not being part of china
If this was to actually happen and this could connect China to Russia across to Alaska into Canada and then back to the mainland US that could actually be a major historical moment.It would not only make trains more prominent profitable in the US it would be a very cheep (compared to plains)and scenic route all across the world if China is actually making railroads into Africa and Europe.The whole world would be a lot more connected.(besides Australia and New Zealand)
what would be the time difference between those tow points?
A concerted effort of great leaders with open-minded vision for world peace and prosperity to bring about unity will make it happen. This is the greatest project that still remains to be seen by generations to come after us.❤️
Train is obviously the best value for money option when considering both speed and time...
My First question: Why would we build it?
And why not ?
Thanks for share!!!!!
Great job here man!👍
China and Russia can collaborate all they want but this will not happen without US and Canadian involvement. I don't see the United States allowing such a project due to national security concerns. Things would have to change drastically in both China and Russia politically before such a railway is possible.
The Paranoia between the Us and Russia would be even bigger
As long as they dont start a war im fine without the Railway
What i would wish is: The US and Russia should unite to eleminate Terrorism.
And make the world a better place overall.
Should Russia and China Change? Turn around and look at yourself in the mirror.
Or the US.
@-T-X-M- But since trump the Relations got better right?
@-T-X-M- yeah you re right.....
Lets hope Relations get better and better
World would be a better place if they keep close Relations.
No one wants a WW3
China, America, and Russia. The C.A.R. Alliance could nullify NATO and the UN by making them simply irrelevant. If only we could put our differences aside and work together.
It should be called A.R.C, it sounds better
Or we be stupid and call it A.C.R. A.R.C sounds coolest. There is also R.A.C or C.R.A but both are also not very good.
Why not R.C.A. and they can sell cheap electronics to supplement their railway plans...?
What about Canada?
How about northern pacific commerce treaty or NorPact 🧐
@Pepe The Platypus you forget Canada, it should be uccr LOL
If It's so short, we could fill the water under the bridge with land, leaving a small part for boats.
Cool video, I enjoyed this
3:24 how about this the Russians build the 3 Mile Bridge so it's 26:26.
