  1. You are failing to differentiate between conquering and colonizing. Colonization and race-based slavery are distinctly European practices.

  2. True. But given the F-35 are usually unavailable for combat, this duo would be limited to a handful of feasible opportunities.

  4. Yes. One cannot underestimate the nuclear-triad capabilities located in Washington State -- especially the submarine fleets.

  5.  @-p2349  You're acting like the Natives weren't armed and didn't fight back. They waged in fierce guerrilla war to liberate and protect themselves and their heritage. If it weren't for the Old World plagues, the colonizers and their patron nations would have found that success was too costly to proceed -- gains would have been limited. We saw this when the US, the most powerful nuclear-armed superpower (~hyperpower), was bogged down and ultimately defeated in Vietnam, Afghanistan, (proxy) against Iran, e.t.c. All woefully ill-matched and ill-prepared -- only difference -- no invasive invisible plagues.

  7.  @listenhere1623  Why? California is the border state w/ the least "unhealthy" relationship w/ Mexico. Not to mention California and Mexico are interdependent in so many ways.

  8. BTW VPOTUS Khamala Harris might actually surpass the 31 deciding votes record set by John C. Calhoun. So far she already motioned 23 times to break a tie (albeit, most were for nominations). She is one of the most proactive Presidents of the Senate ever -- especially post-1945.

  9. A lot of this comment is not necessarily accurate. But I will focus on the disease part. It wasn't that the Natives weren't immune to European diseases -- that is not how human immunology worked. It is that Europeans had plagues (different from diseases), which come from dense and unclean population centers w/ domesticated animals, while the New World did not.

  10.  @seanmcquilkin7753  No. The Natives were human beings like the rest of the world. So, yes, some tribes/nations would fight wars, practice slavery, & conquer. Now the difference between the Natives (and the rest of the world) from Europeans was colonization and racism. Similar to Alexander the Great, when the Aztecs or Mayans conquered people, they would let them keep their own identities. Something European Colonization never did. And when it comes to racism, how could Natives be racist when they are (by European definition) all on race? It is like saying, Black people are racist toward other Black people. Instead, there was ethnic discrimination, mostly by the more powerful nations/empires. Additionally, the only non-Euro empire that practiced colonization and racism was Imperial Japan. But that was because they modeled their imperialism after Europeans, and not the Chinese. In conclusion, racism is a distinctly European practice for colonization purposes.

  11.  @lukelyall5879  Thank you. I hate how little most people think of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Most of the First Nations were modern by 1500s standards and some were even powerful states that rivaled early-modern England and France.

  12.  @lukelyall5879  Also their comment was highly defeatist and pessimistic. War should only be fought when necessary. Anyone who doesn't understand that can't know peace.

  13.  @jamesschultz30  I have no idea what your talking about anymore. Are you deflecting when you remembered Black people still have to deal with racism? Or are you just offended (mad much?) because you said something idiotic and was hit w a rebuttal?

  14.  @michaelmarciano7064  The Aztecs were not racist. The Aztecs were cruel in warfare. In case you forgot how to use a dictionary, those words are not the same.

  15. That only takes history at face value. It wasn't the Great War and a 1918 Pandemic that contributed to the Great Depression, it was the uncontrolled economical growth of the roaring 20s.

  18.  @kilgore1863  IDK. Given the historical precedence of sexism and royals doing amoral acts, I would not rule out Henry's innocence. Although, since I lack the evidence, I could not rule his guilt either. All I can prove is that he was an atrocious husband and father.

  20. My favorite one of these was the Canyon survivor but The Cave and The Seafloor survivors really caught my attention too.

  21.  @deeboxjones6601  There is a reason philosophies like "United we Stand, Divided we Fall" & "E Pluribus Unum" are the backbone of America's union. While States look after themselves, the Federal Government has served as the cohesion that maintains the strength of the Union. This has been proven time and time again; during the War of 1812, Civil War, Reconstruction, both World Wars, the Great Depression, Cold War, War on Terror, -- and even today, 7/8, when President Biden signed Executive Order 14076.

  24. Thank you for being mindful of how sharks are represented in media. The truth is sharks are infinitely less dangerous than us humans despite them still superior in evolutionary ways. Overall, sharks should be respected and left alone because oftentimes we are the ones that make shark fin stew than being eaten.

  25. He fought til his death because of Roman politics. He changed the fabric of society & civilization. And He conquered basically all of Europe under the Roman Republic. Pugni. Mutati. Vici.

  26. Correction. It wasn't Japan strongarming the French Colonial government. It was Imperial Japanese Army, assisted by Vichy France, in a brutal occupation. France had the sins and blood of both the Axis & Allies in the history of WW2.

  27. The first time I saw a Glock, I just thought the safety system was so complicated that simply observing wouldn't work to figure out how it worked. Now I realize, I couldn't figure it out, not because it was harder to turn off the safety, but because it was much much simplier. Lesson: I guess, think smarter not harder.

  29. And if you look on the Himalayan border, China and India are already fighting World War 4 with sticks and stones.

  32. It is said that the Monarch of England's principal responsibility is to, constitutionally, do nothing. The hardest job there is or ever was.

  46.  @ctakitimu  Not really. As any physicist will tell you, "What Ifs" and parallel/alt realities are important to study. Importantly, they show what is possible in this reality -- whether it is Quantum mechanics or historical differences. It's not a prophecy but a glimpse into a road not taken. And yes, most of the time, it is written in fiction to be fun and engaging. You're supposed to enjoy it and learn key messages from it.

  49. Plus an unconditional surrender, but not too brutal, was necessary or else another great war could have begun in the Pacific. The "Japanese Instrument of Surrender" signing was neither forgiving nor overbearing. A rather necessary ending to a half century of all-out wars leading up to 1945.

  50. Each United States Air Force pilot of an F - 22 Raptor / F - 35 Lightning costs at least 2 million dollars to train and operate. That 2 million dollars worth of information alone. That's why the USAF also spends 400 thousand dollars to protect and enhance each pilot's brain.
