In TX? In Russian blogosphere it is a standard staple that Trump is rushing Ukrainian peace deal to be able to move on to the set of mega-projects with Russia - oil/gas in Arctic and data centers in Russian North-West where electricity and cooling is plentiful and cheap.

Build trillion dollar data center infrastructure in Russia. What could possibly go wrong?

Ask the owners of the leased airplanes who have been unsuccessfully trying to get their planes back for about 3 years.

Sounds like kremlebot’s, however it’s unclear for me the motivation behind pushing this narrative. Also, why don’t build DCs in Alaska instead?

		actually it is more of the opposition's narrative, probably a way to explain such a pro-Russian position of Trump. I think any such data center project is doomed to ultimately fail, and any serious investment will be for me a sign of the bubble peak exuberance and irrationality.

Oil and Gas in The Arctic I can see, but data centers in Russia... good luck with that.

What could go wrong with placing critical infrastructure on the soil of a strategic rival?
