No, we're just next to Russia and have the issues in Ukraine. Then there's Libya and the short hop across the Mediterranean sea to Italy, Greece and Turkey. Oh, let's not forget the border with Iraq and Syria, those two countries where we're fighting ISIS.

But no, we've got nothing on the US/Mexican border...

Most of Western Europe is not next to Russia. If you want to make that comparison, I might as well throw in all of Central and South America. The distances between England and Russia is something like 3,000 miles. Meanwhile the distance from Pennsylvania and Columbia is 2,500 miles.

And most of the USA is not next to Mexico by your logic. London - Moskow is 1.550 miles, Berlin - Moskow is 1.000 miles

The question that next needs to be made, is - how many national borders must you cross between Moskow and London, and how many between  Mexico and the U.S? Using this logic, then we should also include much of South and Central America besides Mexico.
