If Canada lost some territory to the US, it would become even more dependent on the US.

Do you have Aphantasia, an inability to visualize in your mind's eye? I do and am horribly at shape rotation.

I'm not sure, but this shouldn't be an issue with modern preservation techniques.

To get a rich and English speaking state, we would have had to attack the British Empire, which would not have been easy until after WW II, at which point doing so would have devastated the US brand name.

We don't know this. It could be that the small country of Israel takes enough casualties that they give up trying to control all of Gaza.

It finds a few people who want to exterminate humanity and it helps them engage in bioterrorism including by teaching them lab skills and proving them funding.

On average no, if what you consider "you" includes people with the exact same brain who live in different parts/branches of the multiverse.

But Elon is going to care a lot more about Mitch McConnell than Trump's fan base. At a minimum, I suspect Trump stays banned until after the midterms.

If the nuclear facilities are out of reach, Iran's power generators are not and destroying all of them would significantly damage Iran's economy and hence its military capacity.

Israel probably bombed the consulate in retaliation for what Iran's proxies did to Israel. International relations is not governed by rules treating agents symmetrically.

This is fantastic. My previous view was that Hamas launched the attack out of pure evil or stupidity, but after reading this I think they have a real chance of permanently crippling Israel. There is an equilibrium where if most of Israel's neighbors turn against Israel, Israel doesn't have a chance and then, I suspect, the Jewish population of Israel moves to the US, Canada, and/or Australia.

"Or, to put it another way. If this is such a good idea, why didn’t we do it through most of the Cold War?" We lacked the capacity. A huge reason the North didn't let the South leave and fought a civil war to keep them in the union is because everyone knew the US was much militarily stronger as one nation

Agreed, but it will be weakened if it does badly in its future invasion of Gaza, and to avoid that outcome it might need US help.
Yes, but anyone who, say, completes and undergrad economics major should be capable of using a computer to check for negative drug interactions. Let them prescribe drugs after passing some test.
