You need a ferry if you're driving. It would be really annoying that your car is only useful on one island.

@doyouevendab77 I grew up in the NW, not Hawaii. But that would suck to live in a small state and have to rent a car, to go to different counties. Alaska has ferries and it's a large state. But with similar issues. Some towns are on islands with no road access. The difference is that Hawaii is a Democrat state. And they're obsessed with counterproductive rules. All cargo has to go to the islands and between islands by ship, so they already have an issue with invasive species, and whales.

@dennisking4233 The migrants at the US border are NOT defectors. They're trying to get in because the US is richer.

The US conquered Afghanistan in a month. We left because it's impossible to build as a nation, and we don't want it.

India partitioned to prevent civil war. The Muslim majority provinces weren't willing to live under Hindu majority rule.

It's probably worse than that. Mars is farther from the sun, so solar panels wont work as well.

It's not possible. If you learn some differential geometry, you know that the sphere has curvature 1/r^2, r the radius, while a rectangle is flat, gauss curvature 0.

@tarync6539 It was a minor thing at this point. The US only had 2500 troops in Afghanistan the last 2 years. The US military budget is over 700 billion.

@brandonwisco Biden is a fool. Trump signed a peace agreement last August. But a peace agreement is CONDITIONAL. Biden changed it to an unconditional agreement, ie no conditions on the Taliban. And now they're blaming Trump for setting the withdrawal. They were probably thinking that requiring the Taliban to follow the agreement would keep us there forever. But that's no reason to just cut and run without getting our people and equipment out.

Don't forget the U.S. flags planted on the Moon.

@jakemafnas9864 Hawaii has the highest cost of living. I'm not sure is that means "poor". Not by how that is usually measured. I think it's mostly the tourism industry.

They skipped France? Then Neaderthal there were so snooty that the humans went straight to England.

There's another way. You mail your passport and visa application to a visa service, they apply take the documents to the embassy and it's mailed back to you. I've done this many times. For example, China only has 5 embassies in the US.

It's actually not hard to go to N. Korea as a tourist. You just go to Beijing, apply for a visa at the N. Korea consulate and fly there.

Most of the world is colonialism. The Arabs weren't there first.

@dennisking4233 Just because Biden sucks, it's OK? That doesn't even make coherent logical sense.

The tldr: Hawaii is a Democrat state, which ties everything up in massive amounts of regulations, explaining why there is ferry service all over the Alaskan Islands but not Hawaii. For example, why is invasive species and whale habitat an issue for ferries when cargo has to go by ship between islands and internationally?

@joeleonard9965 The civil war will resume. The Tajik Afghans controlled a portion of the country before the 2001 invasion. The 2001 basically consisted of defeating the Taliban with them on the ground and heavy air support from the US.
2
@Paiadakine Apparently, they were fighting. There were over 50,000 Afghan casualties to the few thousand Nato. With air and logistical support they would have kept the Taliban away from the cities. Biden is just an incompetent asshole. He even blew up children and an aid worker distributing water, as a "show of force".

Must be hard to get a cell phone signal there.

It looks like they just did a census. The Muslim neighborhoods went to Bangladesh and the Hindu to India.

They still don't know how to produce fire? Do they have a learning disability? I just saw a video where a native American made fire with a bow, stick, and tinder in 2 minutes.

37:00 That's how international diplomacy always works.

@x.kitsune You also wouldn't want your car to be restricted to Vancouver Island.

That's not happiness, perhaps well being, but not happiness.

Except most of those islands are too small for anyone to even remember. Most of them probably don't have inhabitants.

What makes Delaware necessary?

Just annex it all, Canada too.

The roads would have to have enough traffic that there were gas stations and stores open along it. And no one is ever going to build a 100 billion dollar bridge across the Bering straight for just one car a day.

This US failure was completely self-inflicted. The US military would defeat the Taliban with 1/100 th of its forces. Biden just abandoned the cause. That was due to public pressure, but he didn't have to be so irresponsible in the execution.

This is just the things people plan when they're stoned. The most that could be done is sending 3 astronauts to Mars, and returning after a brief stay. That would cost about 500 billion usd.

It would cost much more to drive that distance than to take a plane.

@MegaLiamsi The US conquered the Taliban in less that 2 months. Even just 2500 troops kept a stalemate, until Biden just quit.

@leothelion9124 The Taliban didn't take over until this summer. Bringing up Trump is a pathetic excuse. Biden didn't follow the peace agreement. And just allowed the Taliban to walk all over the US and the Afghan government. The Biden administration is right now negotiating with the Taliban. This difference is now they have no leverage. They're literally begging the Taliban to let people make it to the airport. BTW. The peace agreement mentions whenever the Taliban is referred to the the US does not recognize them as a legitimate government. Biden has promoted them to recognized government of Afghanistan 20 years after 911. Good job.
