>There may have been as many as 366 Q-ships, of which 61 were lost.[5] After the war, it was concluded that Q-ships were greatly overrated, diverting skilled seamen from other duties without sinking enough U-boats to justify the strategy. In a total of 150 engagements, British Q-ships destroyed 14 U-boats and damaged 60, at a cost of 27 Q-ships lost out of 200. Q-ships were responsible for about 10% of all U-boats sunk, ranking them well below the use of ordinary minefields in effectiveness.

Their main effect was enraging the German admiralty into abandoning the cruiser rules and start attacking all ships without warning, which inevitably led to the sinking of the Lusitania and American intervention.

Of course, if you happened to be a believer in (((Perfidious Albion))), one might argue that was the actual intent of the Q-ships. Trick the German navy into attacking shipping indiscriminately and put them in a direct confrontation with the United States.

That region has always been important because of its location between China, India, and Europe made it a major trade hub for the longest time, even back to the Roman Empire and Han Dynasty (Romans loved silk, Chinese loved amber).

The sudden prominence, as you call it, in the second millennium (1000s) was probably because of a number of reasons, such as Genghis Khan aiding trade by killing or employing any would be raiders who hampered it.

Central Asia is, and has been, a very important region to this day. Look up the Great Game between the Russian and British Empires in the 19th Century, and for something more recent, read something about how China wants to build a physical silk road to Europe though the region.

It was never totally irrelevant, not even today. But it's niche is to connect east asia with West and South Asia, and therefore Europe and North Africa too. The Indic ocean area was already a strong alternative, but after the discovery of the americas and the emergence of Europe this land route lost more and more relevance.

The more you read about the history of space exploration the more you realize how impossible it would be to fake. The entire program I mean.

Some people assume more "reasonable" but still fals position that we landed there but they faked the footage. Joe Rogan mentioned related photo from Gemini X as an example even though no one ever claimed it depicted EVA and Collins himself said that he wishes someone took pictures. And the drawn version of the photo even served as a cover of his autobiography. It's a good example that all weird theories and rumors of conspiracy are fueled mainly by one thing: ignorance.

People who are criminals for moral reasons are usually intelligent. As that displays both a strong sense of moral integrity and a moral conviction for liberty.
People who want to force morality by rule of law are usually mouth breathing retards.

It's a collectivist ideology related to socialism but fueled by nationalism, nostalgia for times of greatness etc. Almost all nations had fascist organisations. Jews had one that was very influential.

how can something dogmatic be used as framework to understanding the truth which is in itself not dogmatic

Metaphysical frameworks are irrelevant to modern experience. People experience reality piece by piece, they don't need the complete view.

That is the wrong question.

Society is based on the premise "women and children first."

A woman (or a man) should be able to fight because they might have to. But a society that forgets why we have a society in the first place is in trouble.

women are too intelligent to participate in war
