I can’t believe anyone thinks a 2500 mile wall makes any sense..

Made sense to the Chinese (The Mother of All Walls), to the Romans (many

You’d have to see the border between the US and Mexico. A lot of it is
not traversable. The “Wall” is just hyperbole.

I hunted up some photographs of the Great Wall away from the tourist access, and the terrain looked exactly like I imagined it, uncompromising, not a place, either side of the wall, that any reasonable person would want for any purpose (1) except to paint or photograph it and then bugger off in a hurry from its desolation.
