I'm an American and also don't see the humor in it.
I think the joke is your public transport.
What does that have to do with anything? Or is it just a "haha America bad"?
See context
Cool, question remains
If there was a functioning public transport, they could just, you know, meet.
You realize that distance is 4,700km, the distance between Lisbon and Moscow. It takes 3 days by train without a stopover. Public transportation doesn't make meetings any easier.
Yes, and I've personally taken three-day same-country trains before, back when it was the cheaper option. And guess what, non-private planes are also public transport.
Wait, so your "the joke is your public transport" comment is with the impression the US doesn't have planes? I still have no idea what the hell you were trying to say
Nope, that was about trains. Planes came up later.
Ah, you're a troll, that makes more sense. At least, I sincerely hope you are, because the alternative is concerning

No single country sure, but uh...
