The Midwest ends somewhere around poland/the northern Baltics in that map, I was under the impression that those areas have been freaked out.
Imagine having fully operating concentration camps where people from all over the country is arbitrarily “detained” and put in, and just going about your day like usual.
“Ohio isn’t in the midwest.”
We did that already, but with Minnesota.
I mean Ohio already looks like a warzone anyway
Russia can just have Ohio.
Ohio isn’t even a real state.
Ever meet anyone from Ohio?
Of course you haven’t.
Oh, you have? That was a CIA agent.
Ohio isn’t even a real state.
Yes it is, do you know how many zoomers spent the last 5 years in a state of constant Ohio?
So when am I getting my back pay from the CIA?
I thought that was Wyoming?
No, Wyoming is spare Colorado, if Colorado falls off we can replace it with Wyoming.
Prior to 1945, this kind of thing happened every 30 years somewhere in Europe. It’s kind of the usual
And off the coast of Florida (a genocide & very soon another war).
But at least Alaska/Greenland is uncertain for some reason.
There is an active war in Ohio.
And Florida is killing people they don’t like
We don’t have to imagine that one.
That’s just an average day in Florida
Does this mean Italy and Greece are the Texas of Europe?
Just Italy. Greece is Louisiana. Athens is the New Orleans of Europe.
…Ohio is part of the midwest.
I think this is the point
Then it’s poorly made
The point is to demonstrate that Germany, Austria, Poland are not very far away from Ukraine. It compares the situation as described.
Imagine living in Minnesota, living life as you are used to, while there is a war in Ohio
Like I said, poorly made.
Again, Ohio is part of the Midwest, so there’s no comparison being made. So it’s a poorly made point.
Nobody know where those places are. Miami to NYC is a better comparison.
Oh, but isn’t everyone from the US? And even if you’re not, at least have decency to learn the relevant¹ geography in school
¹
…relevant being the US, of course. But learning in school in the US seems to be largely unavailable
/s
Idk, the US is huge, Ohio to Minnesota is a very long distance.
Do you get lost trying to find your way out of rooms with a single door?
Wow, so you resort to insults? Yea we’re done you, you win by being the first to resort to name calling.
Why should anyone engage with your sophostry?
Don’t let a handful of half wits convince you your comment isn’t dumb and pointless. Regardless of your worthless contribution here, my point is living 500 miles away from something isn’t all that close. At least 500.
…five hundred miles are just a f*cking six-hour day-trip, man…
And an ICBM can cover a distance of 500 miles in about 1.8 minutes, assuming a very rough average speed of 15,000 mph.
500 miles is nothing in a war zone.
Lol someone’s a little touchy today
Well, your point’s been made. Conversation over, everyone.
eh, true midwest isnt till indiana. ohio is closer to west virginia/kenfucky
I see the Midwest as more of a cultural region than a physical one. Ohio and Indiana honestly both perfectly fit in with the Midwestern culture, so I welcome them into the “Midwestern” moniker
Personally, I see the Midwest as a triangle with Ohio, Minnesota, and Missouri as the corners. Kentucky and Arkansas are too southern culturally (and honestly, the southern half of Missouri is too) Oklahoma is almost southwestern culturally, and Kansas, the Dakotas and Nebraska are very western culturally (and honestly Western Minnesota and Western Iowa are pretty Western culturally too)
Ohio is officially counted as the eastern most Midwestern state. It has been for at least a century.
Isn’t just living in Ohio the same as being in an active warzone?
Nah, more of a “crabs in a bucket” situation. Nobody wants to be here. A not-insubstantial amount of the population was either dumped out the gate of the nearest military base upon retirement or is otherwise descended from those that were.
Shots fired
Get down
DROP THE GUN! DROP THE GUN! GET DOWN ON THE GROUND! :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: :BLAM: DROP THE GUN!!! DON’T MOVE!
…oh, sorry, I thought we were imitating US cops…
As an Ohio resident that had 2 people pull a gun on me and someone firing off in an alley I was working in just last year alone, I’d say it’s getting close.
Imagine the people running your country are literally fucking and eating kids.
You could have added “fucking” after literally to make a double entendre.
What?
Stupid autocorrect.
Now, consider how different the culture is between Ireland and Syria.
