Look at that, we could just build a railroad or highway across the ice and we could travel from America to Beijing or wherever in a fraction of the time it takes to fly.
I blame the airline industry, for keeping the world population blue-pilled in order to increase the number of people who fly inter-continental flights.

The North Pole isn't solid ice on a foundation of land like Antarctica; it's temporary, shifting sea ice that shrinks and grows with the seasons. This makes building a railroad over it impractical.
And the obvious place to link North America and Asia would be from Alaska to Russia, and the American/Russian relationship along that psuedoborder is chilly at best.
This is bait from pol
Ignore

Oh, and nobody fucking lives in those places, because it's too cold. There's no roads up there, which means you have no infrastructure to actually take people to the parts of America people actually live in once they'd gotten there from Russia.
And in the end, railways are so much slower than planes that it wouldn't get you there any faster, especially considering the huge detour you have to make to take the overland route.

Blue pilled about what exactly?
>>7706901
Blue balled by the airline industry, again.

You do know cars and airplanes are much slower than airplanes, right?

I was starting to think nobody was going to catch it.

it was called the cold war for a reason!

>implying there's any reason you can't fly over the north pole between America and China or wherever
