you’ll be glad to know that 2 others users made the exact same comment, hours after yours. Fist time I see a comment copied so many times, and as no- US folk, first time I heard of this so popular saying
The point of that phrase is to point out the ridiculousness of relating two completely unrelated items.
In this case, land mass on top of land mass is a relevant comparison, to help people who understand American geography to visualise European geography. To relate it to their own experience, and grasp why European powers see the invasion of Ukraine as a threat to themselves as well. So the phrase doesn’t work. It’s nonsense. Therefore, not constructive to the discussion and being downvoted.
Yeah I don’t know. I was just making a joke. I don’t really care either. I’ve come to terms with the fact that text on the internet doesn’t always translate very well.
Also there’s a lot of people here who lack a sense of humor and are very into trains.
And if my grandmother had wheels, she’d be a bicycle.

Can’t speak for granny but I heard your mom was the town bicycle.
That’s such an insult to my mom, she’s way more of a train gal.
Can confirm, their mom carried me to school often, and only required infrequent lubrication. Wasn’t great up hills though
Mom, no!
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted lol
It’s perfectly fitting here, and also made me think of this clip

They’re downvoted because it’s nonsense.

Lighten up, Clarence.
I’m helium, just explaining because you said you’re “not sure why”

Hey! Whoa! Uncool! That’s totally not fair at all! I like trains, but I also like riding your grandma, all over town!
honks the bicycle horn
I like your jokes. I like you.
I would have made a joke about riding a train on your grandma though.
