          The point is to demonstrate that Germany, Austria, Poland are not very far away from Ukraine. It compares the situation as described.

            Again, Ohio is part of the Midwest, so there’s no comparison being made. So it’s a poorly made point.

                  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.

        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)

              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.
