    The Russia China border is 4,200 km long. There are three major rail crossings between Russia and China, which is honestly less than I was expecting…

    So yeah kudos destroying 1/3 of the rail connections between the two countries

      Trans Siberian went all the way around the Chinese border before they were allowed to shorten it by going through China.

      I guess it’s all desert or tundra for most of that border, I also assumed there were more crossings
