Great Wall didn't work, Iron Curtain didn't work?? Sure they did.
Nothing is 100% but they didn't have the wholesale migration from one
side to the other we have now here...

The "Iron Curtain" was a wall?


The part around East Berlin sure as hell was. Much of the rest was
barbed wire and land mines, with
guard posts in sight of each other all along the East-West German border.

I see the "no ways" are playing semantics but my "point" was
indisputable...

Your "point" seemed to be that the Iron Curtain was some sort of
physical wall the Soviet Union erected on the borders between some of
its client states and the west. No one who knows anything considered the
Iron Curtain such a wall. It was not a physical wall.

The Berlin wall separated free West German Berlin from the communist
parts of Germany.

It's not semantics in this case.
