Also a quick rundown on modern warfare in Africa

What do you mean by "modern"? I would say the Opium Wars and the Meiji restoration are the beginning of modern East Asia, The Great Game for Central Asia as there is no clear cut eras and many events and ideas blend together or require knowledge of what came before to better understand.

Yea, the subjectivity of the term kinda makes it hard to pin down words

I'm just trying to learn about the tactics they likely would employ today, given what they have done in the past if that helps?

Kind of, then Britain cucked the South by turning Egypt into a giant loom and didn't care anymore

>>3241333
Did they just saw the writing on the wall?

>>3241736
They needed American corn from the North more than they needed the Southern cotton in the end, the Confederacy sort of shot itself in the foot with it's dumb "if we embargo them they'll totally HAVE to recognize our independence" idea

good.

Btw, were you a Serb? I seem to recall that, but i'm not sure.

>>3242213
Partially yes, though I'm American so i'm a mutt.

Anything that is not Harry Turtledove

>>3241205
Pretty much

>>3241197

American Civil War

>Bring the Jubilee
>Gray Victory
>If the South Had Won the Civil War
>Dixie Victorious

Southern Victory would be on the list Turtledove hadn't completely dropped the ball in the second half of the series

WW2

>The Proteus Operation
>Fatherland
>Attentatet i Pålsjö skog
>The Iron Dream (Hitler still manages to somehow accidentally cause the Holocaust despite basically being a second-rate sci-fi writer)

I doubt he knew Rasputin was nailing anyone in the palace.

>>3242836
Weren't there various letters that were released to the public, from the Tsaress and Rasputin, regarding their love affair?

>>3242836
I doubt he knew anything at all. The man was an awfull leader blinded by religion and stupidity. The retarded Habsburg king from Spain was smarter than he ever was.

Yes, Joseph Goebbels is the father of our main stream media.

>Why did the offensive army take more casualties than the defensive army?

Read a book

>>3240582
Okay then. I'll rephrase it.
>have unbreakable naval blockade on south
>have tons more industry than south
>have twice the army of the south
>have moral superiority
>have more railroads than south
>be on offense the whole time
>takes 4 years
wherefore

>>3240575
Because both sides of the American Civil War were reliant on volunteer militias who were no better than mobs of gunmen, than Continental European-style standing armies filled with professionals.

Are you saying that the categorical imperative shows that identities that lead to non heterosexual sex are objectively evil?

Be careful with your answer, because the same idea can be used against your loved masturbation sessions.

isnt he a pre cursor to post modernism and cultural marxism?

The way I understand it the Gelug-pa are more orthodox and focus on monastic discipline Also they are currently the most powerful and wear yellow hats.

Nyingma are the oldest ones and the most open for weirdo stuff like sexual yoga and non-monastic ascetics

Sakya and Kagyü are very focused on lines of guru succession but from what i remember they are not doctrinally extraordinary

>>3240417
what is today called bön is not the original bön faith (which died out after buddhist mission) but just another school of vajrayana buddhism that simply claims that it isn't buddhism

>>3240382
Wait this guys not only got their own special buddhist sect but actually it's divided in 4 sects inside the sect?

>>3240362
The Sapniards for thinking they'd win.

Hi, morality is a spook

America for starting bullshit for no reason.

America: HURR DURR DID YOU ATTACK ME!?

Spain: No you retard, you attacked yourself

America: FUCK YOU ILL KILL YOU

"Defeats Spain"

America:heh that'll teach em

it such a fucking tragedy from start to finish.


what if lumumba had lived though?

>>3240318
But if Lumumba had lived then we wouldn't have documentaries and news stories about how fascinatingly shit that country is.

And yeah Congolese history is the true 'and then it got worse' story.

>>3240318
>be president of the fucking Congo
>reject federalism and demand a unitary state

fucking why

I don't understand the philosophical underpinnings of Democracy. Everyone agrees that some people are better doctors than the average person, but yet the concept that some people are better lawmakers and leaders is heretical in modern society. Do people really think that every average joe is qualified to have a say in government?

Furthermore, even if everyone was capable of competently using limited government power, would that really be in their best interests? A lot of time and effort has to be put into governance, which is why it is a full time job. Wouldn't people prefer not having to constantly spend their time researching the various political issues and instead take advantage of the society they live in?

>>3241068
>what is representative government

>>3241068
Not a fan of "democracy" but:
>the concept that some people are better lawmakers and leaders is heretical in modern society
That isn't true in the slightest. Republican government is suppose to select for virtuous, competent citizens.
>Do people really think that every average joe is qualified to have a say in government?
This presupposes that "democracy" isn't just a shroud for a middle class elite. The average Joe has next to no say in government.
>Wouldn't people prefer not having to constantly spend their time researching the various political issues and instead take advantage of the society they live in?
Having an entrenched political elite tends to lead to corruption and a growing wedge between the bureaucracy and public interest. A perfect managerial elite is just as utopian as the omni-competant citizen voter.
