Well, for most western thinkers that would be the default distance between our nations. But remember back in 2008 when then GOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her home? Yes, we all laughed. But the nugget of truth in this outlandish statement is Russia essentially borders the United States…thanks to Seward’s Folly.
The world is a small place…respect it as such!
Sarah Palin never said she could see Russia from her home. It was said by Tina Fey in a 2008 SNL sketch.

and the election wasn’t stolen…but she did say “They’re our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska”: but I made my point.
Your “point” would have been more sharp had you not wrapped it in a demonstrable lie. Just sayin’
Given the discourse from the other side of the aisle over the past year, I don’t give a rip.
