Kinda sucks here ngl, but Europe is SO small. Like that high school graduate who came back from gap year to a high school party saying he traveled “all over Europe” just to pick up girls. Come on guy, it’s like a metro rail pass and a two weeks time.
Yeah, it sucks in the US but we only have to deal with OUR idiots, we don’t have to deal with our own idiots PLUS a neighbor’s that are crazy unstable. I’m not in missile range of anything since the 60’s. Just saying.
OK... 2 seconds on Google:
Do you also need me to search for kilometer?
Yes but he has a point : you can't travel in the USA by train, it's a fucking nightmare. Whereas in EU it's quite easy and cheap.
Nobody does Lisbon-Tallinn by train either. It would be almost impossible or very expensive.
"All over europe" => they flew from barcelona to paris and then went to amsterdam
I can't spend more that $300 a year on medical bills. Not because that's what I can afford, but because the rest is 100% covered by the government.
Depends on what you count as Europe. If you include Turkey, Caucasus and/or the western part of Russia, it is fucking huge (~7500 km drive from Vorkuta to Cabo da Roca). Even if you only count EU countries, it's still not that small (~5000 km drive north-to-south). And it's also way denser than the US so there's more to see overall, you're not even covering any small country comprehensively in two weeks time.
I mean, you haven't NOT been in missile range since the 60s, that's when the Soviets really got their ICBMs online. Don't need to put missiles in Cuba if they got the range to launch the from home.
We just stopped CAREING about being in range once it got to the point that we couldn't actually do anything about it
I hate it to break it to you, but buddy, you are the neighbours that are crazy unstable. Your people shoot each other in the face constantly.
And Trump absolutely does have access to missiles he very well might be pointing at your ass at some point.
You and agree with each other. You aren’t telling me anything I don’t know. What I’m saying is WE have to deal with our own idiots. We don’t have insane neighbors willing to double down on the aggression less than a few hundred miles away. A few hundred miles could be a weekend drive to see family in the US.
I don't think most of Europeans are particularly afraid of being in missile range of anyone but the US, right now.
And the only country that doesn't really fit in with the EU in terms of overall values at all is Turkey, so not a lot of crazy neighbours around overall.
And, to be honest, if the US had a modern public transport system you could probably visit anywhere worth going in a couple of weeks too.
We could learn a thing or two from Turkey.
I'd imagine the crazy neighbour is russia. I think they qualify, and the country is in europe.
What's funny to me is that russia also borders the US. It's not a land border, but the gap isn't exactly huge.
Interesting fact: the region between Alaska and Russia freezes entirely during the winter which people can walk through. Not exactly a land border, but also not a typical sea border.
But you have the worst idiots, liberal.
I'm glad I don't live in Europe either tbh
On a scale from Bud Light to Everclear, how drunk are you on American garbage alcohol right now? 🙄
Fun fact: in 2026 you're thousands of times more likely to be killed by a bullet from a handgun in the US than by a missile in any other European country than Ukraine.
Just saying that you're full of shit. Because you obviously are.
I didn’t say anything about Americas bullet problems and I certainly didn’t say anything about ICBM’s which we are ALL in range of. Im saying I’m not waking up tomorrow morning to an anti-missile battery defending me from a hail of dumb fire missiles or long distance drone strikes.
Haven’t had a drink in years, btw.
It appears that the time you did spend drinking has rendered you permanently fucking stupid then
It's not small, it's comfy sized.
