Tunnel Boring!

 Machines that make tunnel under the Ground?

Ninety years ago these same machines were created for up to sixteen men to work within the rolling drum digging out the soil, rock, sand by hand and many were killed, either falling forward or back!

But today these boring machines are much bigger and longer, being automated, still crewed by with more safety at hand and they can with lasers work more accurately to also lay the framework of these tunnels with reinforced sections?

Eventually it is expected with A.I. that all types of machines with be robotic and serviced when out of operations, while all controls will come from a control room than the need for human intervention!

Currently the largest borers are building a underwater canal across China and other transport links, with motorways through mountain tunnels and bridges cutting time on land distant travel on winding roads and rail?

Russian Federation. Part-Two.

Always the sleeping Bear?

Russia is a country that one should really heed advices on starting any military conflict with, there have been many great world leaders and Empires that sought a scuffle with and have ended up in more of a mess than when they started!

Genghis Khan, Sweden, Napoleon and Adolf Hitler have all come to their ends with the stamina of the Russians over the last one-thousand years of history.  Today Barak Obama wants to make a name for himself, but if he wakes up this slumbering bear his own people may lynch him up somewhere.

Russia has ordered 40 nuclear warheads and many former Soviet era designs are being updated for joint construction with its close allie China. Russia still has many friends in our world, they might be small but they hold strategic positions and once Russia is ready the U.S.A. may have more than they bargained for with Europe being obliterated, or was that Australia?
