...working on reconstituting the former Soviet Union, if not the former Russian Empire? How do you think the Ukrainians feel about their borders just now? The Poles, the Czechs? Think they're sleeping easy?
The US is just incredibly lucky to have friendly neighbors, and building a wall is too bloody stupid for words (and all too reminiscent of the Berlin Wall, which was designed to keep people in, not out).

Donald Trump's $20 billion wall can be beat with $20 worth of rope and a grappling hook.
