Populations

HAAAA .... git yur minds out of the gutter .... you thought I was talking about pekkers but that is a BIG subject for another day.

Canada has a total population of 36 million
Australia has about 24 million

yet just one city like

Tokyo Japan-Yokohama has 37 million ....
Shanghai China has 24 million ....
Karachi Pakistan has 23 million ....
Beijing China 21 million
New York metro 18 million
Mexico City 17 million
Sao Paulo Brazil 17 million
Lagos Nigeria 16 million
Istanbul Turkey 14 million

yikes ... I feel pretty small by comparison.

I feel very lucky by comparison....

I hate crowds

/

Even "little" countries like Indonesia have 260 million population today .... and projected to be 305 million by the year 2035 .... (USA is about 324 million by comparison)

,

Ha - I feel lucky.

Denmark has just 5.6 million inhabitants.

So, although it's a small country, we have space....

Cheers
Erik

Yes Erik but remember the global survey that said your 5.6 million are the happiest people in the world .

Mostly I was surprised at the population of Istanbul Turkey (14 million) .... I came across that the other day after reading this headline ....

US says Russian jet flew 10ft from plane over Black Sea
The Pentagon says a Russian fighter plane flew within about 10ft (3m) of one of its reconnaissance aircraft operating over the Black Sea.

US officials described the intercept by the SU-27 jet on Wednesday as "dangerous and unprofessional".

Russia's defence ministry said the US plane had been approaching Russian territory and the SU-27 pilots had adhered to international rules.

Russia is currently carrying out military exercises in the Black Sea.

My first question was what was the USA doing in Russian waters ..... but I did not realize the Black Sea is considered International waters .... and the entrance is the Bosporus Strait which goes right beside Istanbul

I always thought Istanbul was just some obscure place where Hollywood made some movies in the 1950's and 60's

If it were me I'd try to find a way to throw a wrench in the air as it came by and go oopppppsseeeyyyyy!

Did I do that????? Ekril style!!

If I were president....and you all kind thank God that I wont be...but my first contacts would be Putin and Irans Assatolia.....I would tell them that if any of their aircraft or ships come within a certain distance of ours while we are legally traveling in international waters, they will be warned, then radar lock on and they will be shot down.
On the other hand, if we do such to them, then shoot us down also. Fair is fair.
This flagrant taunting by Russia and Iran stems from no respect for our enemy-in-chief President Ovomit.

He is a disgrace, and we need to get our respect back. Trump will do that and Hillary will just lower our respect even more.

This may cause a skirmish but I bet the enemy will start respecting our power. We are NOT the most powerful military with Ovomit involved.
