I don't see that happening. If the Russians were dumb enough to try to invade using a tunnel, we'd pick them off at the mouth of it like rats from a hole.
It's not like we wouldn't see them going IN.

And I've already pointed out that it would be a trivial task to just bring down the tunnel with explosives. Say, eight kilos of dynamite, or three kilos of Semtex. Easy.

Duh. Do you think that Russia would benefit from US tourists driving to Russia? This would be quite a boon for their economy and trade.

........the latest news............

Russia-America tunnel in the pipeline?

A tunnel linking Russia's Far Eastern Chukotka and the west coast of Alaska in the U.S. will be discussed at a meeting between Presidents Putin and Bush at the weekend, reports The Sunday Times newspaper in the UK. The two leaders are meeting in the Black Sea resort of Sochi on Sunday.

The proposed 100-kilometre tunnel was first discussed in Tsarist Russia, but was soon abandoned because of a lack of funds.
It is estimated that a tunnel linking the two continents will cost $US 30 billion.
The Sunday Times is linking Roman Abramovich with the project. But the Chukotka governor, one of Russia’s richest billionaires, has dismissed the claims.

Oil and Natural Gas, and good relations with our successor as the global hegemonic entity.

Hasn't happened in the Channel tunnel.
