these borders are fucking awful
>>18104028tzar had to show he was strong to internal powers in a way his western contemporaries found confusing. It's why he'd proclaim eternal friendship to Napoleon at one point only to declare war on him later.His section was probably just the easiest area to give him and ensure his troops wouldn't be too much trouble to the rest of the coalition.
>>18103225Ceding those areas permanently would have been a more just punishment than the slap on the wrist they actually got.
>>18103225sadly they didn't continue the occupation to this day.
>>18104060I mean, it just looks like the occupation was divided by were they were at the end of the campaign. The Russian area just looks like it follows the line of advance from Frankfurt
>>18103225The right borders

Slavery was so much worse than the holocaust for its victims
>>18100436>Arbeit macht freiNothing wrong with that. Idle hands are the devil's workshop for jews and porch-monkeys
>>18104594Very interesting case of England sucker punching the Belgians into the ground with atrocity propaganda. I wonder if they did it so that the worst negro atrocities in africa wasn't them.
>>18100436True because slavery affected millions
>>18104594They did the same thing in india, trying to help natives live a better lifeThe English used to hang jeets who burned their widows alive Not sure if the Belgians in Congo took the same approach to law and order, or maybe they didn't care enough and just wanted the rubber. but the maiming and the chopping was all Africans doing what they always did
What's up with the hate for Greeks and Italians on 4chan during the last time?Yes we know they are CHG/Iran_N and natufian admixtured compared to the rest of the continent but they pretty much always were
This model is the right one
>>18105915>Greek mutt instead of the real NAFRI
>>18105948Alternatively,Yeah there's some Nafri in South Italy that gets mistaken as Natufian in bad models, particularly in the case of Sicilians and Calabrians.
>>18105915I'm surprised to see that much Germanic in Southern Italy.
>>18104178>What's up with the hate for Greeks and Italians on 4chan during the last time?Pajeets and Pakeets
i still can't understand why hitler dragged germany into a world war. i highly doubt he genuinely wanted to uplift the german people from the post war decadence of the weimar republic, and i doubt even more that he was on a personal crusade to eradicate the jews from the continent. so what was it? personal hubris? or did the ebb and flow of sociopolitics bring him inevitably to a sticky situation in which war was the only possible outcome?
He held a Malthusian worldview where the races and nations that didn't expand would inevitably end up occupied, colonized and exterminated. Germany had technology and human capital, but it lacked living space and vital resources to be fully safe. He thought markets were shrinking as the technological advantage that had started in Great Britain during the Industrial Revolution worked its way through the globe. And that the Soviet Union, under the control of jews, would fully industrialize, and have the resources and numbers to one day completely occupy Germany.Japan was operating under a similar mentality. They seen America manifest destiny its way to the coast, annex Hawaii, puppet the Philippines and occupy islands all across the pacific. They didn't want to disappear off the map the same way India did, so they went out and expanded.
>>18105600Lol
>>18105589He didnt invade Austria.Austria had voted to join Germany as early as 1919 but was prevented. When Versailles was abrogated they wanted another referendum but the Austro-Fascists shut down the elections and the Nazi Party sent in an actual military to prevent the Fatherland Front's paramilitary from obstructing the election.The Austrians overwhelmingly voted to join Germany at the same rate they did in 1919.>CzechoslovakiaGermany didnt invade Czechslovakia. after Munich Poland invaded northern Czehoslovakia, the Slovaks revolted and began murdering Czech government officials, and the Hungarians invaded Southern Czechoslovakia.The Czech president Benes had resigned, Hacha took his place, Hacha then went to Britain (Basil Newton) who told him to go to Hitler or Stalin, Hacha chose Hitler and asked Hitler to become a protectorate of the Reich.>DenmarkDenmark wasnt invaded prior to WWII.>PolandPoland and Germany saw their negotiations break down and Polish soldiers moved into Danzig, the Danzig security forces relayed to the German army what was happening and Germany invaded Poland, Germany immediately pushed for a ceasefire and a peace treaty when the Polish soldiers were removed from Danzig.Britain on behalf of Poland declined and joined the war six hours later.
>>18105762This isnt why they went to war, this was the reality of the times.Great Power politics are a zero sum game and as we can see today if youre not a player youre not long for this world.
>>18105089why do corporations insist on getting bigger? The whole expand or die ethos, wasn't invented by the merchants, they merely copied it from states.
Why AIPAC is so powerful in the US
>>18105974Well I guess we just have to go on about our lives. At least there's plenty of good new movies and music being released.
>>18105479Anglos are just unusually prone to zionism due to having had a very Judeophilic culture since the middle ages, unlike people from the continental European branch of the west.

Post the funniest hadiths other than zutt. I want to collect them all.
There is an etymology commonly used in Hindutva circles, where it is argued that Indra will be a "bmac" deity, due to a loanword, from the bmac substratum. however, I have not found much basis for this claim other than Alexander Lubotsky. a quick search on the wiki reveals that there is not really a consensus on these claims.there is a more plausible etymology for the character Indra's name, of PIE origin, Indra comes From PII *índras, being a conception as derivative of of the PIE *h3eyd-, meaning "to swell" or "to become strong." *(H)i-n-d-rá-s would mean "the strong" and underwent a secondary stress shift. This makes sense, since in the RV verses, indra receives an epithet related to "strong."

>>18105122LOL! No. LOL! We do NOT "know" what "Soma"/"Haoma" were at all. No, we do NOT. We do know that it is not "milk of the poppy"(opium), or ephedra, or a mix of the two, or this either. After all, if we "knew", we would just make it, of course. I won't even get into the pharmacology and botany of it all, but I can dunk on you for hours and hours using nothing, but Organic Chemistry that you don't know. ;)

So was Marco Polo really a governor for the Khans and did he really tell the truth that he traveled to and fro from Chyna?
>>18104979I don't see why it would be made up.Venice was an end point for the Silk Road, ultimately, in competition with Constantinople. May as well travel all the way to the other end.
Born into a wealthy trading family, he journeyed with his father and uncle to the court of Kublai Khan, the Mongol emperor of China, where he served as a trusted emissary for nearly two decades. His detailed accounts of the wealth, culture, and innovations of the Mongol Empire, recorded in The Travels of Marco Polo, introduced Europeans to the wonders of Asia, including paper money, coal, and the imperial postal system. Though some questioned the veracity of his tales, his book inspired later explorers like Christopher Columbus and shaped medieval Europe's understanding of the world.
After reading the book, there is no way he wasn't in China. It gets often pointed out that he doesn't mention some things about China you think he would mention like the writing system, but he doesn't mention any of that stuff about Georgia, Tibet or India either. He cares about what they produce as an economy, tells you a quirk about their local culture or city and moves on.The problem is, we don't know how much Rustichello or he himself embellished his role in the Yuan court but it's not improbable that the Mongols hired him as some minor official just for the reason that he has no ethnic loyalty to anyone in the empire and isn't bothered with long traveling times, they did that a lot with Persians as well, which we know from both Chinese sources and Marco Polo.
>>18104979How many hones """Venetian Merchants""" have you ever heard of? Exactly. Goes to """China""" doesn't mention chop sticks.It's all so tiresome.......
>>18104979Marco Polo was likely proto-Anglican btw.

Let's say I am a self-proclaimed deity/god of a self-proclaimed religion and supreme leader of a theocratic country.I won a war against all my enemies and killing them would be too easy. I want to torture them but it has to have a profound meaning and a lesson behind it.Could I upload their brains/minds so as to transfer their consciousnesses inside a simulation/ironic hell that tells the story of my life so that see/witnsess things and events from my perspective and point of view.https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IronicHellhttps://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SympatheticPOVhttps://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PerspectiveFlipThe only way for them to end their never ending suffering and be erased from this personal ironic hell/simulation, would be to understand me and my devotees/followers.

>>18105198>>they had no clothes on, and I did not see their private parts at all. They had very little flesh. Then they came and started riding on the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."did not see" b/c they could not see b/c their Jeet pp's were just as tiny and made of just as "little flesh" as they are today. It's scientific fact that Jeets have both the smallest brains and pp's, this simply confirms that this has always been so, and is in no way a modern phenomenon.
Majority remember president Nixon for the Watergate scandal but on the positive side he created Environmental Protection Agency, ended Vietnam War, reduced School segregation, negotiated the first Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT I) with the Soviet Union, launched the War on Cancer. He isn't being praised enough for these good things.
>>18105907Eh, you’re acting as if it was just a short term thing. The political realignment that the southern strategy helped usher along technically started with Berry Goldwater, but Nixon was the one who won with it, and Reagan took it to its full apotheosis. Point is that I do agree that Nixon wasn’t ideological about it. It was just a political tool that others used less successfully before him and just as successfully after. I still count embracing it as one of his faults. I’d probably still have voted for him if I’d been alive at the time. He was the greenest republican in the last, what, 100 years?
>>18105956Again, I disagree. The southern strategy implies, among other things, that the electoral shift was a result of something the republicans did. Instead, I think it's pretty clear that what happened is that the democrats, who had been the party of slavery and anti-rights since before the civil war; changed on a dime and attempted to paint themselves as the party of civil rights.So, in 1964, they weren't voting for Goldwater because they agreed with him on policy, but because he wasn't the civil rights pioneer Lyndon B Johnson. In 1968, they did the same thing, but more because the dems nominated Hubert Humphrey, which had been trying to make a name on continuing all of johnson's policies. Meanwhile, in 68 you also had Wallace running for the racist independent, and he took away 46 electoral votes, all in this same south the so-called southern strategy credited to the republicans. Yes, in 1972, the south voted republican, but so did every other state except Massachusetts. But then in 1976, the south was solid democrat for Carter. No southern turn to the right there either.In 1980, the whole world was sick of carter, so the whole world went republican, with the exception of home state of the candidate. In 1984, Reagan won a landslide. No southern strategy there either.So now we're 20 years past the time this so-called southern strategy is supposed to be taking place, and each election is simply a matter of circumstance or national momentum
he was a man of contradictions, also deeply paranoid and insecure. I think he appeals to pol tards and the like because he was a bit of a working class loser who always resented the elite who looked down on him. he wasnt cool and handsome like jfk, he was a paranoid nerd. even people who hate him consider him smart but evil
>>18106010Smart but evil? Are you a fed or just mentally challenged?

Sometimes I think that themes and karma exist in history. The islamic expansion seems to be a semitic revenge against the indoeuropean (persians, greeks, romans) rule of the middle east. It also seems to be an arab revenge against christianity and maybe zoroastrianism being forced upon them and instead of following Yahweh or Ahura Mazda they instead chose to create a monotheistic religion based on theri chief God El/Allah.
>>18105712and yet arabic lore and pre-islamic arabic mythology that develped before islam made them to be this is why in archaeology and lengusetcly they called the still living south semetic languages in arabia (south arabian) and not (south arabic) because arabic comes from the north and calling ist south arabian means it belonges to the arabian penesila
>>18104972you can observe karma in day to day life"there's no shortcuts""pain is gain" etc all these quotes highlight the necessity of sacrifice, that is if you're gonna win something deliberately or not you're gonna trade for it something else
>>18105712>Ishmaela fictional character
>>18105536>Might makes right.>merciful enough to still leave the natives alive>worthless golemsThen why do you complain about Israel genociding palestinians?
>>18104972You have the islamic expansion backwards. Civilization was already accelerating at a rapid pace in the mediterranean world compared to persia and the asian/african hinterland. Christianity is a significant development on pre-christian religion, created under pressure of population growth and trade that threatened earlier conceptions of the world. Adopting salvation as a central focus, where the key action is acceptance of God, centered religion on the individual. The effect was immediate and analogous to the French revolutionary army's unleashed national soldiers, fighting not for a king but for their own stake in the world, who quickly became unstoppable. Islam is a post-christian religion that used armies driven by salvation and individual penance to dominate technologically inferior persians, africans, turks, and indians. Islam is a civilizing force against paganism, fringe conflicts with christianity notwithstanding, the vast majority of their conquests had primitive pagan religion. Arguably anywhere christianity has been able to legitimize itself, Islam has retreated. They're more like a clean-up crew for places that haven't been properly christianized than they are a competitor or scourge of christianity.
