I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

    I always knew Americans in general were bad with global geography… but to not even know their own states? That sounds insane.

    Heck, in our Dutch schools, we actually learn all the states in the United States. I definitely know New Mexico is a state. Same as Alaska and Hawaii (but not Puerto Rico, which is a territory but not a state)

    How am I better at this than actual Americans? That should not be a thing.

      I never get tired of Europeans being surprised at the average intelligence here, thank you for making me giggle. The average American is about as smart as a stick, and as we both know, sticks aren’t good at geography
