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
quite and i think ohio is where a small civil war will happen when the trump regime is collapsing
…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
Nobody know where those places are. Miami to NYC is a better comparison.
I had to look it up too but it doesn’t take long to find out
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
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.
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?
Yea we’re done you, you win by being the first to resort to name calling
Man, you were so close to a coherent thought. Maybe a little less time looking up “sophostry” , and a little more time proofreading?
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.

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
Ohio is officially counted as the eastern most Midwestern state. It has been for at least a century.
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)
Yeah the transappalachian great lakes region and the great plains. The real question is is west Pennsylvania midwestern
i don’t think you can be appalachian and midwestern, too. i think an argument can be made that the midwest is the mississippi and great lakes watersheds without mountains north of the missouri compromise line
I agree, and I meant west of the Appalachians, not necessarily including them. This of course does make ohio weird as regardless the vast majority of it is past the mountains but a tiny bit brushes into the foothills.
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.
Hey now there are also Scots-Irish infesting the Appalachian segments, got some distant kin there.
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…
If we were, the directives would have occurred after all of the shooting.
True, although I intended there to be no pause between the directives and the start of the shooting, so I think we’re basically in agreement, or close to it. heh
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.
Stupid autocorrect.
What?
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.”
Maps without the UP?
The UP is there, the map includes the borders at the great lakes
They botched the LP too
It looks more like they just left Lake Michigan as part of the main landmass
There is an active war in Ohio.
I am disturbed by the lack of Great Lakes.
Oh look at that DC is in Russia. Fitting analogy.
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?
it’s pronounced Ahegao btw
I thought that was Wyoming?
No, Wyoming is spare Colorado, if Colorado falls off we can replace it with Wyoming.
So when am I getting my back pay from the CIA?
The Midwest ends somewhere around poland/the northern Baltics in that map, I was under the impression that those areas have been freaked out.
I’m in SW Romania. I can drive to Ukraine in a day.
And yea, just kinda… living my life. Not much else I can do.
It’s kinda cozy there. It’s like a tidy swamp.
If Ohio was being invaded by Canada, 20 million dudes with rifles would come running from all over the country just hoping to bag a Canadian.
walking
These roads aren’t walkable. They’ll definitely be driving.
Not from southern New England they won’t.
We did that already, but with Minnesota.
The one thing that this overlay is making me realise is that there are actually some parallels here. The North and Midwest kind of seem the same type of people, same with the UK being the northwest, Iberia basically being California/Nevada and Italy being a spaghetti western country with far right tendencies.
Italy is more like california I think. Spain is a lot poorer. Greece is like lousiana maybe, spain could be like the texas gulf coast maybe. Central Europe is not unlike the upper midwest in the industrial heartland. Western Europe like the northeast corridor in the US.
California’s economy ranks somewhere between the UK and Germany.
Texas would be somewhere between France and Italy.
