Most of the euro side of that map, fits into texas alone. The USA has shit rails but acting like Europe has even half the distance that’s needed to cover the usa like it looks in this map is dishonest.
I miss spoke, but the size of the EU vs the usa is no where near the same.
You don’t get to spout bullshit like “Most of the euro side of that map, fits into texas alone” then try and defend yourself using area measurements that are completely irrelevant to the point I was refuting.
Besides, the map above doesn’t show a map of the EU’s rails. That’s a political grouping. Better try the geography of Europe (3.9m sq mi) if we’re going that route. Of course then you’d rightfully point out that’s a map of North America not the US.
In any case area is not very relevant. It’s very obvious that US rail is lacking far behind. That’s understandable in much less sparsely populated areas the US has. But look at the highly populous northeast corridor. Hardly compares to EU rails.
you need to familiarize yourself with how Map projections distort the shape and size of land masses, because that’s the only way i can imagine you got this idea.
it’s not even close, Alaska is way smaller than Europe. go look to some actual statistics. with all of its landmass combined the United States is 0.98x the size of Europe. it’s smaller, but barely. they are nearly exactly the same size if you made them both into a circle.

EU 1.7m sq miles USA 3.8m sq miles
Not even in the same ballpark.
What the fuck are you on about
Just France covers most of Texas.

No, you don’t get to add russia into that. That area is 1.7m sq miles while the USA is 3.8m sq miles.

You don’t get to super impose the usa as a map image to this image and go “see told you”

Texas is about the size of France, with The Netherlands tacked on. Europe would fit east of the Mississippi, not in the second largest state.
Alaska, however, is bigger than Europe
Alaska is huge sure but definitely NOT larger than Europe
Alaska is 1 477 300 km2
Europe is 10 180 000 km²

If you added in russia…russia doesn’t count because 95% of it is baren wasteland with no rails.
Alaska is smaller then Europe by quite a bit.
