It's like, they'd been doing SO WELL! We were like 100 years tops away from Roman armies entering Jerusalem! And then they fuck it all up in a single day...We got blue balls'd out of the greatest comeback in history.
Reekoid tranny baby fuckers are roman now?And no, Abbassids could desteoy that pathetic despotate pumped up by westoid money like modern day pissrahell whenever they qished to, is just that it qas more profitable to make these cucks pay a monthly toll
>>18533050The Quaran says they are Roman. Do you claim to know better than God?
>>18533050That's why the first two sieges of Constantinople went so great right? Abbasids never had the infrastructure for conquest. Only raids, but of course, expecting a cucked PAK to know that would be like expecting a retard to know quantum theory.
>>18533068yes.
>>18533045Yeah, it sucks but what can you do.
>>18533050Abbassids would beheaded you south Asians
Rhomanos had just beaten the Pechenegs out of the Balkans and made them pay tribute, then he turned and went to fight the Seljuks in Anatolia and Alp Arslan actually offered to surrender the old border back to the Byzantines and stop the raids when he saw how immense their army was but Rhomanos had paid so much on mercenaries and all the assembled troops that he would not settle for anything less than a decisive victory.He had bragged before leaving Constantinople that he would fulfil the dream of past emperors to conquer Persia.
KARA BOGA was too powerful, many such cases
I know I'll sound like an VGHposter, and I suppose I am one since I like Pyrrhus and Majorian so much, but I like and feel bad for Romanos. He knew how to fix the empire and tried his best to do so, but what could he really do in the face of so much stupidity?

And then they fuck it all up in a single day...So this is the mind of a Byzaboo. You don't even realize that Manzikert was a relatively minor defeat with reasonable peace propositions by the Turks. Everything that happened after Manzikert was the fault of the Byzantines for engaging in a civil war, handing over forts and cities to the Turks, rather than their own opponents in the civil war. The Turks were only able to raid the countryside, they were nomads, these were unorganized hordes, not directly controlled by the Seljuks. The Byzantines HANDED OVER THEIR CITIES and solved the fundamental Turkish problem of having no adequate siege equipment. They then send all of their armies West to engage in a pointless war with the Normans, because they seriously thought that the Turks are just inherent Barbarians, who have no ability to form an organized state and they can easily just conquer back all of Anatolia, when they are done. But then they left the Turks in peace for decades, so they can organize the territory they conquered.This mind-boggling capacity for betrayal, incompetence and arrogance can only be ignored by a Byzaboo and replaced with random misfortune, because if they actually accepted the true nature of the Byzantine Greeks, you would feel dirty for calling them "Romans".
