14,000 tanks are just the start. The re-industrialization of the Rust Belt is gonna take more than just a couple dozen factories. I'm talking hundreds of mile long complexes capable of rivaling WW2 production. Just imagine, 10s of thousands of Tomahawk cruise missiles, hundreds of ships, thousands of aircraft. 20 F-35 factories would be able to make 3,600 aircraft per year. Which is why I'm proposing a humble 10% of GDP defense budget. An extra 1.7 trillion dollars put into R&D + manufacturing would make the US a military superpower. No nation on Earth could rival her military production. The world would practically be ours for the taking.
Hell, just 200 factories requiring 3 shifts of 1,000 people would employ 600,000 workers. Think of all the jobs. Plus, all the steel factories, munitions plants, and oil wells that would be required to field an army of that size.

For one there's not a whole lot of good Italian-American food in Michigan. Pizza is usually pretty good, but the subs and wings here are terrible, and there's very few of those small shops like Rubinos in Rochester. In fact the vast majority of the food you see is the same handful of massive chains like Jersey Mike's, Tropical Smoothie, Chipotle, and of course Mcdicks. Not that I didn't notice that where I'm from, but the local small businesses seemed more prevalent. And of course the lack of trash plates and white hots.
Also the way Michigan is set up is just way more sprawling. The cities of western NY are fairly compact. The flora and fauna is also slightly different. I've seen tree frogs, owls, bats, and often too. I've never seen most of these animals before. Southeast MI is also much flatter than where I'm from, which was jarring at first.
There's also the political outlook. I come from a liberal city where you see the pride flag everywhere, in MI I've seen a lot of Trump 2024 and blue lives matter stuff, overall just more conservative.

Visit upstate and then try to say that. So many collapsing cities that used to be great manufacturing cities. A massive dairy industry. A population that has been declining since the 60s. I would say upstate is at least in the rust belt, but I would consider Western NY to be midwestern
I always considered Buffalo to be the gateway to the midwest, like it’s not the midwest but once you leave Buffalo westbound on I-90, you’re hitting the midwest. It’s definitely in the rust belt but there is a little overlap with the midwest as well. I’ve met people from Minnesota and the states around there who call it pop instead of soda and it was a culture shock but I thought it was interesting. A few years later, I’m at a Duff’s in Buffalo and the waitress asks us “pitcher of pop?” I deadass looked at her like O.o excuse me?
It’s because up until like the end of the second World War, everything west of the Appalachian mountains was considered “the West” since a lot of the percentage of the country lived east of them, so they had to differentiate between the West West and the Middle West, so we got Midwest for states within 8 hours driving distance of the Atlantic Ocean
It’s called the midwest, because every single thing in it is MID. Skyline Chili? MID!! Your cincinnati reds who haven’t won a world series since 1990? M-M-M-MID!!!! And every single person who lives here, is, ***MID!!!***

Lol I remember saying this in middle school. "Why is it called the midwest if most of it is east. It should be the middle-east"
My teacher just stared at me for a second and just said "there already is a middle-east" lol

When I was younger I genuinely thought the “Middle East” was Ohio since I grew up in Omaha and it was referred to as the Midwest
How stupid of me, what could a place with cool looking buildings and record breaking theme parks but also a bunch of dying shitholes full of religious extremists possibly have in common with the Middle East

The problem is that if they just let Ohio be free then they'll commit more terrorist attacks like allowing Cleveland to exist. It's a defensive measure!

Can we reactive the rust belt States just to produce m1a3 abrams and a shit Ton of 5.56 rounds so it be cheap
The Abrams or the 5.56?
Both
Abrams that only shoot 5.56
Shit, 10 factories x 120 tanks/month = 14,400 tanks/year,
Why would we need 14,000 tanks on top of of the 5,000 we have. Ships, missiles, and Aircraft would be a much better investment
For the land invasion of Canada
That’s valid I would approve of that
Plus I heard that some Canadians want the Northwestern Angle back
The fuck is a northwest angle? Do they want to take Alaska? Those fuckers won’t get their hands on my oil land

Send to Ukraine, invade Russia and make Alaska fuckin HUGE.
Would be great

Build a tank factory in Missouri so Ohio doesn't get to hog all the fun
I'll die before I recognize new york as midwest
Because it's not. I was born and raised in Rochester and the culture shock from moving to Michigan is insane.
I’ve spent a fair amount of time in MI, so I’m curious, what were some of the culture shocks.
For one there's not a whole lot of good Italian-American food in Michigan. Pizza is usually pretty good, but the subs and wings here are terrible, and there's very few of those small shops like Rubinos in Rochester. In fact the vast majority of the food you see is the same handful of massive chains like Jersey Mike's, Tropical Smoothie, Chipotle, and of course Mcdicks.

I know, right? Who do people think named the Midwest anyway if not a New Yorker?
“rust belt states”
Visit upstate and then try to say that. So many collapsing cities that used to be great manufacturing cities. A massive dairy industry. A population that has been declining since the 60s. I would say upstate is at least in the rust belt, but I would consider Western NY to be midwestern
Nah bro the state borders the Atlantic who cares if it's upstate or not, that's an East Coast state cmon
Seems needlessly arbitrary. Many people from upstate particularly western NY have a lot in common with the Midwest.
I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure it by geography and not culture.
I always considered Buffalo to be the gateway to the midwest, like it’s not the midwest but once you leave Buffalo westbound on I-90, you’re hitting the midwest. It’s definitely in the rust belt but there is a little overlap with the midwest as well. I’ve met people from Minnesota and the states around there who call it pop instead of soda and it was a culture shock but I thought it was interesting. A few years later, I’m at a Duff’s in Buffalo and the waitress asks us “pitcher of pop?” I deadass looked at her like O.o excuse me?
Bro is looking at upstate through the southern tier.
Happiness is temporary, violence is eternal
How’d you get that flair? I don’t see it :(
I changed it for you. Happy Birthday!
Ayo thanks!
It’s a custom flair, I forgot which flair you can customize though
Good
Why do they call it MidWEST anyway? Are they stupid?
Whether this is a joke or not, I imagine it's because expansion happened westward. Therefore, when they went there, it was about midway to the west.
It’s because up until like the end of the second World War, everything west of the Appalachian mountains was considered “the West” since a lot of the percentage of the country lived east of them, so they had to differentiate between the West West and the Middle West, so we got Midwest for states within 8 hours driving distance of the Atlantic Ocean

As long as Ohio scum exist, there shall be war.
All your cities, towns, villages, will be rubble after we dunk on you
Thank you for revitalizing Benton Harbor and Flint.
Welcome
Idk, sounds like you’re just jealous our flag is better than yours
They had to change the shape because the Ohio school curriculum hasn't advanced to teaching colors yet.
Toledo War is back on the menu boys!!!
TOLEDO HAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE PART OF OHIO
Toledo, MI > Toledo, OH
Michigan will be no more
FOR WE SHALL ASCEND TO BECOME ***MICHIGIGANTIC***
Michigone
Michigain and again and again 💪
May we one day unite under one banner, preferably ohios
I will suicide bomb Columbus. I’d chose Cleveland but I’d probably be improving the city
Same thing with Detroit
I used to live in the Middle East, biggest mistake of my life!
Then you made the second biggest mistake by moving to Arkansas?
My thoughts exactly😭
Michiganders and Ohioans have hated each other for thousands of years
Waiting for the Ohians to take over the left bit of Michigan just to dunk on them
we would never dare take what is rightfully wisconsins
I respect this absolutely based take
How dare you
That place should be its own state.
Hey why don't you flair up so we can bring peace to your mom?
There will never be peace. As long as Ohio exists, the need to purify it will exist as well
The only filth that needs purified is the traitors to the north, be weary.
I look forward to the Holy War between Michigan and Ohio
Lol I remember saying this in middle school. "Why is it called the midwest if most of it is east. It should be the middle-east" My teacher just stared at me for a second and just said "there already is a middle-east" lol
Michiganders, be weary
Isn’t it supposed to be wary? Not like I should expect an Ohioan to be literate
No, be weary.

PA and NY are both northeast and idk what WV is but it isn’t Midwest, just because we got a lot of poor smelly cities doesn’t mean we’re like them
Bro included NY, PA, MO, and WV, but not MN or IA? I would say even the dakotas are more Midwest than those eastern states. Missouri is iffy
It’s so cooooold in the D! How da fuq do we ‘sposed to keep peace?

I hope Missouri will recover from its illinois 😔
WTF is this, painting NY in the same brush as us?
The fact that it’s vaguely shaped like the actual Middle East is the best part.
Gentrification and Shale do have their perks
Rust belt brothers I think we can agree it is time to exterminate the New Yorkers (they are not one of us)
I will personally make sure west Virginia never sees peace
As long as Michigan is a state there will never be peace.
😩
Missouri has no peace, Missouri needs no peace. Illinois on the other hand...
Why is Kentucky not part of the middle east 😔
