(Too many geographically handicapped people believed SNL’s skit deriding Sarah Palin, asserting that she had said she could see Russia from her home, and they were surprised to learn how short an eastward trip from Russia is to the United States.)

Technically, one can walk from one country to the other (in the winter time)......it’s only 2.4 miles.
A Russian suggested building a bridge for railroads across the 2.5 miles. It would make trade better. Someday it will be made but long after the last Neo-Con is buried.
