Is tonight the night President Trump starts WWIII?

Just this morning I was contemplating what the US response to this might have been if Trump had won the presidency.

Worse

probably just an accident

He climbed into a Russian made chopper and flew into a fog the US put there on purpose to get him.


**apparently he’s dead.

[dimejinky99]

Confirmed dead. No indication of foul play. But still..Wonder what this means for state of play in the Middle East ?

[simple schoolboy]

For the record, it was an American made helicopter. Kobe 2.0 or Jewish weather machine?

[simple schoolboy]

Oops.

They might have to eventually plead them out due to inadmissible evidence/ torture. Probably should have been resolved 20 years ago.

I'm starting to think this was is never going to start. They keep putting it off.

Hezbullshitters have launched a middle attack into northern Israel

Think this might be it? Israel won’t overreact at all.
Famous for their calm and cool heads and won’t nuke the lot of us.

If so it was nice knowing some of you.

Does Bangladesh count as Central Asia?

[dimejinky99]

id say it does within this context.

[Anders]

Bangladesh is in south-Asia.

[bart]

Bangladesh is on the opposite side of two huge countries from Central Asia

To answer this question accurately, I'll need to determine the easternmost, westernmost, northernmost, and southernmost points of Asia, then calculate the distances from Bangladesh to each of those points. Let me break this down step by step:

1. Extreme points of Asia:
- Easternmost: Cape Dezhnev, Russia
- Westernmost: Cape Baba, Turkey
- Northernmost: Cape Fligely, Rudolf Island, Franz Josef Land, Russia
- Southernmost: Pamana Island, Indonesia

2. Approximate center point of Bangladesh:
I'll use Dhaka, the capital city, as a reference point (23.8103° N, 90.4125° E).

3. Distances (approximate, as the crow flies):

- To Cape Dezhnev, Russia (easternmost):
Approximately 6,700 km

- To Cape Baba, Turkey (westernmost):
Approximately 5,800 km

- To Cape Fligely, Russia (northernmost):
Approximately 5,900 km

- To Pamana Island, Indonesia (southernmost):
Approximately 3,200 km

These distances are rough estimates and may vary slightly depending on the exact points used for measurement. The actual travel distances would be longer due to the curvature of the Earth and the need to follow existing transportation routes.

Would you like me to elaborate on any part of this answer or provide additional information about these locations?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Pretty central, but I’ll accept southern

[BurtReynolds]

I will allow it. I'm always down for a good insurrection.
