In terms of policy, how is Trump any different than Bush 2.0
Bush didn't go out of his way to alienate every other US ally than Israel. That's a pretty major policy difference.

This would be more convincing if the Maori weren't well ahead in civilizational terms, despite being even more remote from Eurasia.
You are aware that the Maori only arrived in New Zealand in the 13th century, right?
Taiwanese indigenous people had agriculture back in 3000 BCE and took it with them when they spread to Philippines and around Melanesia (and then in the 13th century to New Zealand). The distances in Melanesia much smaller, so a bunch of related cultures with centuries / millenia of seafaring had no problem exchanging ideas and technology between them. That situation is completely different to Australia.
The revisited Harry Potter by Balenciaga is both hilarious and surprisingly a genuinely good parody. There are still AI tells all over the place but they honestly don't distract from the short film itself.
It also desperately needs a fanfic that tells the back story of how

I can read the wikipedia article on gun politics in the EU.
I don't think you can because there is no such thing as "gun politics in the EU" (something people on The Motte very often fail to realize). There's gun politics in country X that happens to be in EU but those are all different between the countries.

What did Azatoth ever do to hurt you so much that you have to compare him to Trump? That’s just rude, man.

in most of Europe that still requires Russian gas
In what alternate reality?
Most of Europe is very much not dependent on Russian gas for generating electricity, particularly for electricity that is at least somewhat time flexible.
I can't help thinking of a recent Ladbible Stories video I watched where they interviewed a British porn director named Dick Bush. That's not a stage name. His parents Christened him Richard Bush and nominative determinism took care of the rest.
