I would actually say Slovakia and Hungary are rather similar.

^I think he meant both Hungary and Slovakia are very different from Ukraine.

[Ariete]

Ah, crap. Indeed.

[FrankCostello]

Yes ironically even though there is persistent abnormal hatred between the two nations, Slovakia and Hungary are not that different. Btw to add further, there used to be a nation before WW2 which separated Ukraine from both Hungary and Slovakia, but soviets got rid of them, and now they only exist as a tiny minority in Slovakia.

The Russian/Norwegian border on the russian side:

Barbed wire, cameras, drones, armed soldiers with dogs and this is several hundred meters from the actual border:





On the Norwegian side you can pretty much walk up to the border (5-10 meter buffer zone).

I've visited Turkey and Georgia, I didn't see that much of a difference between them

What about the difference in language, religion and size?

Why would any Finnish person want to go into the hell hole that is Russia LOL I bet no one ever crossed that border illegally. Maybe by mistake!

I do not know about the Finns but several Norwegians cross the border illegally every year. It is mostly by mistake or people having fun. I belive the fine is around £240. A corporate helicopter crossed the border some years ago. They were fined around £1,400.

Why do you think Brazil is that different from its neighbours?
In Amazon the forest crosses the borders, same for the Pantanal and the Pampas...
