It's probably a little misleading as to scale if we reference coastline (as iron curtain maps do) unless we wanted to imagine that our coastline is also, defacto, part of the wall. But, for reference....the ICT (iron curtain trail) when completed, will run 4,7k miles along the coarse of where the conceptual iron curtain was (not all of the wall was built, different entities built different parts, and they were all in different states of completion). Our southern border....by land only, is around 2k. Our border with canada is 5k miles...and we have 95k miles of shoreline.
If I had to compare the iron curtain to our little hypothetical wall, all things considered, I'd call them roughly similar projects in scale and difficulty. I'd expect them to be about as porous as each other as well, lol.
(abaris can be forgiven for imagining europe and it;s walls to be larger than it/they is/are, particularly relative to the us. Euros have been imagining that their stuff is larger than it is for some time now...that;s how they ended up with all of those "appropriately sized" clowncars they love so much.
