Americans are shocked: "It turns out that the United States borders not only with Mexico and Canada, but also with Russia!" ??????
The American segment of social networks widely circulates the map of the border between the United States and Russia .
Many Americans are surprised to learn that the distance between the continental part of the two countries is about 88 kilometers, and moreover, there are two small islands between Alaska and Russia, known as Big Diomede and Small Diomede.
The Big Diomede belongs to Russia, and the Small Diomede belongs to the USA.
The distance between these two islands is only 4 kilometers, and in winter it freezes, so technically you can walk from the USA to Russia and vice versa on this seasonally frozen sea.
Opponents of migration to the United States from Mexico remind at the same time that there is no flow of migrants from Russia to the United States at all, despite the proximity of borders.
Russian humour: ...maybe we should get in through this side after all? The earth there still harbours the memories of Russian soles. ??????
