Huge nuclear boring machines

Time to take this whole "new Cold War" thing way more seriously. I'm indebted to one Pamela Rae Schuffert for this alarming piece of information:

I was fascinated to find out many years ago, that there is A TUNNEL FROM SIBERIA TO ALASKA. Just as huge military tunnels hundreds of miles long crisscross North America, that were created by huge nuclear boring machines that melt through 6 miles of solid rock an hour, so this tunnel could have easily been created within less than a month beneath the Bering Strait.

For all we know, those dang Russkies could be tunnelling right under Sarah Palin's house right now...
