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.

    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.

    Between Ohio and Minnesota is a lot more than a 6 hour trip however far it is, and 6 hours at 70 is 400 miles.

    Indiana and Wisconsin both are known for tageting out of state drivers actually. Like their locals will be passing you, and they will ticket you for going a few over when everyone was passing you. It's about raising revenue you see. Ohio probably too, lots of nazis and klansman, or whatever the klan turned into, they are big into the police force there, Indiana even moreso.

    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.

    Oh, is Europe afraid Russia is going to launch medium range ballistic missiles at them?

    Also ballistic go into space first, then across, then back down, so it wouldn't be 1.8 minutes.
