Russia will join Japan: a new mega-project has started

5
So, the new “construction of the century”, which the Russian media have been constantly writing about in recent months, seems to have given a preparatory start. Design and survey work has begun in the Khabarovsk Territory in the areas of future construction of railway approaches to the bridge to Sakhalin Island. The work is designed for three years. After preparing all the necessary documentation, laying of the tracks will begin.

The total cost of the project, which also includes modernization of railways on the island itself, is estimated at more than 600 billion rubles. The allocation of such an astronomical amount from an already scarce state budget immediately raised numerous questions among the population. So is the project cost-effective?



There is no definite answer. Among the advantages, one can note a significant reduction in the cost of goods and services on the island of Sakhalin itself, and, consequently, a decrease in the burden on the wallets of ordinary citizens. But if you run far ahead and imagine that after the bridge to Sakhalin a bridge will be built to Japan, Russia, in addition to economic dividends, will also receive geopolitical.

    By the way, that's a smart idea. I sometimes go to Japan, there is such overpopulation, horror, really "the apple has nowhere to fall." The Japanese do not have enough land, the cool thing is that the Japanese mentality does not allow them to mix among "backward" (as they believe) peoples, that is, somewhere in "backward" places where, for example, they would have to move, then they have to be "gentlemen", but nafig "gentlemen" are needed by someone, therefore they (the Japanese) are more impressed by "equal" peoples like the Russians. That is, they respect the Russian nation and are not averse to settling nearby and even mixing in marriages. Americans do not like, because they (the Japanese) lost the war to them and the Americans imposed their will on them. And although "bushi-do" demands to "obey" the winner, to become his vassal, but the "master" from America turned out to be "bad" - the Japanese are constantly convinced of this - they constantly play with their yen, limit Japanese corporations' activities in the United States, etc. In general, it would be cool for Russia to offer the Japanese creation of a union of two states. I can imagine how crazy they would be in the world. Especially in the USA and China. Do you think - "stupidity"? Not at all. China is no less a threat to Russia than the United States. The Russians have no choice here - they will have to, anyway, sooner or later, either put China "in place" or "lie down" under it. A feint with the "union" of Russia and Japan could greatly "move" the Chinese people, just like the United States. But both states need to do good "work" here, not only will it be necessary to overcome some stereotypes between peoples and their politicians, they will also have to clash with the opposition of the United States and China ... But the idea, anyway, is "worth the candle"

      Did you ask about stupidity?
      So, although it is written temptingly and beautifully, but stupidity is utter. And still not an understanding of many things. First of all, the mentality with the Japanese is different. And the problem is to have a joint state, one of us would have to break our mentality. Otherwise, a state where two nations are approximately equal in number will be shaken by internal contradictions.
      Instead of this utopian project, there are two most likely ones.
      The first is the union around the rest of the Russian Slavs of the world.
      The second is the same, only Orthodox peoples.
      A symbiosis of two projects is possible.
      But the best option. It is themselves to breed at least half a billion.
      Therefore, if you have nothing to do but post crazy ideas, go and be fruitful. All the benefits of Russia will be. hi

        You also write utter nonsense. How are you going to unite with the Poles, for example? Two peoples, Polish and Russian, who are at war with the whole story. I will disappoint you - there is no line from the Slavs to unite with the Russians. We for Europe have always been strangers, strangers and will remain.
        With the Japanese and then more likely.

    Bridges and roads are the life-giving arteries of a nation. Sakhalin, a great place to live. The bridge to Sakhalin will make it much closer to us. How will it be with Japia, don’t we care? This should sadden the Japs themselves. And do not forget that the race is still not our friends even nominally! And they did not stop drooling on Sakhalin! Their overpopulation to us is a light bulb.

    About BAM, too, individual individuals who were not burdened with intelligence, said, they say, an unprofitable, unprofitable road turned out ...
    Well, you go!
    And the SSH began to be raised, and to Yakutsk the construction of the railway is in full swing (in the long term, it is planned to install a railway branch before 'sunny Magadan'!).
    BAM itself is being redone on a double track, where there was a single track ...
    So it's still necessary!
    And they will do it to Sakhalin, and from there to Japan at hand.
