Of course he was. He was doing vital work bringing the population count back up after the devastation of the Great Patriotic War.

I don't believe men wearing glasses are capable of doing bad things. So yes, he was just a scapegoat.

The USA is USA of our time. No nation in the history of Earth has had as much wealth and power as the USA has. It makes Rome look like an afterthought. The USA has done what no other nation before it has ever dreamed of doing.

This. I mean you could compare the downfall of both the US and Rome, but the US was more powerful and successful than Rome could ever think of being

The Amazing Dildoni, for he had a penis that was 2 feet long.

King David or Solomon.

Maybe even Saul, which was said to be tall in stature and attractive.

>>2524408
since when are painfully long penises something desireable?

>>2524412
that might be true.

i'm generally more interested in someone with a desireable character than one that was said to have been extraordinarily attractive.

Because /lit/ has at least a few people who actually have read what they're discussing, whereas /his/ is crawling with armchair historians who watched a History Channel documentary in 2004 once. It's not that /his/ doesn't have knowledgeable people, it's that the knowledgeable people are vastly outnumbered by those who know nothing.

>>2524356
Why not?

It doesn't.

>Eastern Roman Empire

>Greek larpers

>>2524319
>>2524350
Both correct.
The Roman Empire is not Roman unless its culture is Roman, its language is Latin, and its capital lies in Rome.

>>2524319
The Romans were Germanic

It´s better to have allies than not.
And Russia.

>>2524262
Japan was the absolutely most useless ally you could think of, probably even worse than Italy. Nothing they ever did helped Germany in any way and attacking the US dragged Germany to declaring war on them too.

ALTHOUGH, IDEOLOGICALLY, THEY WERE MORE AKIN TO THE THIRD REICH, THAN ITALY WAS.

Who doesn't love some boipuss?

He's a pretty shitty president. Mostly a puppet. Every president in the 20th and 21st has been shit though.

Imagine a man who just does what he believes is the right thing to do. He doesn't really "think" about anything at all, like you or I do. He doesn't scheme. His mind is empty of things like philosophy and the nature of man. He just has a will to do something, and so he does it. Which means that when he fucks up, he fucks up big time, but when he scores, he scores big time, also. A small mind attached to a large hand.

Ancient Greek steam tech wasn't suppressed by the church, it was economically useless in a time when slave labor was cheap and universally available, while precision metalworking was wildly expensive.

that greek whirly toy isn't capable of driving tons of water from a mine nor is there any evidence the christians prohibited it

>Library of Alexandria, that was destroyed by Christians
proof?

They thought that it would buy enough time (6 months to a year) in which to seize the NEI and all of its oil, as well as a defensible perimeter in the Pacific, so that they could negotiate a peace with honor before the overwhelming industrial and manpower advantages of the U.S. made themselves felt.

>WASP
>an informal, sometimes disparaging term[1] for a closed social group of high-status and influential white Americans of English Protestant ancestry. The term is also sometimes applied to those of Scottish Protestant, and Irish Protestant ancestry. The term applies to a group who control disproportionate financial, political and social power in the United States.
People don't understand one thing about WASPs, the W didn't originally stand for "white" but for "wealthy". It's an economic class rather than just ethnic/cultural one, not every person of English descent in the US was a WASP, just a tiny handful of super rich families in the northeast and they surely never lived around niggers.

>>2523899
Okay, so so substitute WASP for your "average" white American who wasn't considered some sort of "ethnic"

MCASPs?

>>2523899
It's especially jarring because "Anglo Saxon" is White by default. You can't have non-White Anglo Saxon. Thus W as White doesn't even make sense. It comes off a needlessly tacked on word only to derogatorily describe a portion of the USA as opposed to having any real meaning.

Like "corporatism, liberalism, Fascism" and a plethora of other commonly misused and misunderstood terms I guess we need to live with the fact that the W of WASP will perpetually be known as standing for "White" even though it really doesn't.
