that seems stupid but Republican Newt Gingrich (former speaker of the US House), proposed to use nukes to create a canal in that region.
so it is even stupider.

@elCelio @forbes @breaking-news-forbes I researched that as well. Turns out nuke's superpower is the radiation they are not efficient substitute for backhoes. It would take many to widen the strait and be uninhabitable for centuries. The halflife of Plutonium is 250K years and even then you still have half of it.😎
