No, that’s not obvious and highly debatable. The same ocean that you cross to get from Europe to the US can take you straight to South America without touching US soil.
- simne 4y agoHere is nothing to debate. If you know geography and history and little sailing or (sail)planes - from Europe it is much-much easier to reach US than South America, because exists line of islands, approx from England to Canada, directly, which even have built infrastructure of airfields and ports from 1940s, and sure, there is civilization, govt and civil services. For South America, none comparable exists, even more, on the way you will meet extremely unfriendly zone of equatorial weather, and no services.
- simne 4y agoThat's obvious, if you know little more, than your keyboard and monitor, that it is very convenient and comparable safe, to use very populated and civilized path through line of islands, where you could meet lot of small ships, small planes, even helicopters, than go through open ocean.
