Greenland
What happens when they land a small expeditionary force in Greenland, declare it a US territory, and some Danish Fisherman shoots a Ranger or Marine with a hunting rifle? Is Trump really going to go Battle of Fallujuh on Greenland?

2026 Midterms ...
Unless my math is off, with Massie an automatic "No" and Baird in the Hospital, I think the GOP has an absolute majority, but not a working majority right now. It's only temporary until Baird gets back, but I don't think they could win a party line vote right now. There are 431 members, Baird is out, bringing it to 430, if Massie is a no, then the GOP can't get to 215, assuming all members are present and voting and no other members defect.

Good to see the ideological descended relatives of John Calvin still regard education highly.

Not wrong, but Diamond's point here is more "Showing up and claiming land and killing all the previous inhabitants is not a uniquely European ethos." Also the Maori are some bad ass motherfuckers, and not a group of people I would cross lightly. As a culinary aside, I always find it funny when folks talk about bringing US/Spicy flavor food to Europeans. While I totally agree their spice levels are ridiculous weak, you can not feed spiced food to Europeans. They will more or less literally throw it up. Culturally they don't grow up eating spicy food, and it's something that has to be slowly introduced over time. You can't just decide to eat actual Thai spicey food. I mean you CAN. But I wouldn't recommend it.

Iโm pretty sure Guns, Germs, and Steel has an entire chapter about Polynesians, and the Mฤori in particular, engaging in genocidal conquest. Itโs part of his hypothesis that conquest isnโt genetic, itโs a product of resource allocations and culture.

Got along with each other? Man, you might want to touch up on your pre European Mฤori history. They could get their fucking war on. If you were drafting an army from scratch, they are potential #1 picks.
