Europeans were the ones traveling around between continents spreading plants from one to another without regard for the consequences.
- Comment on Goldenrod 2 weeks ago:
Said no American ever. There are many things to have conflicts about between nationalities, especially now, but this is a weird one. Europe is probably the continent with the most egregious history spreading invasive species.

- Comment on If WWIII broke out tomorrow do you honestly believe america would win? 3 weeks ago:
What would its goals be? Realistically, the US was probably bound for conflict with China and Russia before Trump. Now, Trump is creating a scenario where the US will have conflict with its allies and China. This is Russia’s doing.
Militarily, Russia has shown itself to be weak. The US could easily crush Russia in a conventional conflict if it wanted too, but there would be a risk of nukes popping off. Thats why Biden’s strategy was to let it bleed out in Ukraine and hope Putin got toppled internally in the fallout.
Trump creating conflict with US allies creates a scenario where they must work with China. It’s uncertain how that will go.
If the US invades another country, it will likely encounter a prolonged guerrilla conflict and be bogged down there like Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, and Iraq. China will help the other side make it as painful as possible.
Also, this conflict is unlikely to be popular in the US and rather than pulling together like in WWII, Americans will scatter or resist. At least half the country wouldn’t support the war.

- Comment on If you have ANY Canadian ancestor, you are likely a Canadian citizen as a result of recent changes in Canadian law 1 month ago:
Yeah, I think you qualify. You can read more here on the CanadianCitizenship subreddit about the process. Lots of people are gathering documents and submitting for proof of citizenship. It’s a good place to ask questions.

The edge cases I’ve heard where you wouldn’t qualify were based on an ancestor renouncing their Canadian citizenship on the record when becoming a citizen elsewhere.
