Istanbul's new underwater rail tunnel links Europe and Asia

WOW! Great news for Turkey and for Europe and for Asia and for the world! I want to see this new tunnel!

He calls it “the safest place in Istanbul.”

Famous last words.

The Japanese government paid for a big chunk of that project. So you debt hawks, railing on about how Japan's massive fiscal debt is threatening the economy at home, here's some insight: your tax money is being spent so that Turks have better transport access.

So when Japan's economy collapses from its crushing debt (which you're predicting), you'll know who to blame.

In the last 50 years Turkish government paid millions of yen to Japanese companies to build bridges and tunnels. Also they are helping when a japanese company wants to enter Turkish market. Just this year Sumitomo, Daikin and Nissin started building their new factories there. So when japanese economy collapse from its crushing debt, we will be the ones supporting Japan.
