Benito Mussolini's autopsy. Cause of death was determined to be a generous application of Italian power.

They saw Khalkin Gol and knew it was a bad idea. Plus, they had no men to spare, most were in China or Burma.

One of Japan's smarter moves.

It was already fighting in China and now in SEA against Europe and America. Also a few years prior to ww2 Japan and the USSR had a skirmish around Manchukuo and Japan came out pretty bad so they off out from attacking them again.

Because they got their shit pushed in by the superior Russian warrior.

>It seems like the French connection is not discussed as much as it ought to be when modern writers discuss "the alt-right."
Because generally speaking people all over the left prefer to examine things on a systemic level. Not in all the same way, with many beleiving it's one system's fault over another. The right-wing however prefers to look at things in terms of individuals. This is why when they try examine the state of the left today they see its development as fundamentally linear and because of the conspirational actions of certain individuals (see poor old Adorno being blamed for Caitlin Jenner and black Hannibal of Carthage)

What this thread is doing is using the rightist mindset to try and examine the mindset of the modern right. Nothing wrong with that mind you, could be interesting. At the very least I don't know anything about what you've mentioned in the OP.

>Ideological geneology

It's mostly disaffected millennials that dislike most of their peers and consider themselves arbitrarily better, thus they live to be contrarian against their values.

It is that simple

>>3194041
This is an interesting topic. But I think it's too easy to just point to any conservative thinkpiece of yesteryear and claim that it is the common ancestor of modern alt-rightism. How could you differentiate "Pour une critique positive" by Dominique Venner, and, say, the Young Americans for Freedom highly influential Sharon Statement (1960)?

If we wanted to root out the genealogy of a modern political doctrine, I think it would make the most sense to first define it, so that we agree what its characteristics are, then try to find its immediate parent, instead of jumping back several generations.

I'm not knowledgeable enough about the alt-right to really make an informed definition of it, outside of stating that I believe it is distinctly American, rallying around Trump and other anti-establishment Americans. But I can propose a close parent: the Tea Party movement. If the alt-right started some time in 2015-16, the Tea Party started just before it in 2010.

A competent, professional military depends on several cultural ideas that the Arabs have not yet or refuse to adopt.
The first and most important is meritocracy. You want a hardened core of NCOs, warrant officers, and senior enlisted who can translate operation goals into tactical maneuvers and simple instructions. Instead, in Arab armies, you have people promoted through nepotism into positions they aren't fit for, captains unfit to lead fucking fire teams and colonels who jockeying for the next generalship that opens up and steal their men's pay. Arabs also promote based on regional, ethnic, tribal, and familial lineages, which erodes morale, dissuades bright potential recruits, and projects the image of the military as a corrupt institution.

Then you have their fucking training. The most competent candidates aren't selected for the prestige spots like officer school, jump school, and aviation training but the political reliable. They aren't held to any professional standard, but just fuck around with their new toys, barely learning the basics of operations. This is just the officers by the way. Enlisted is way worse. They just enlist a bunch of guys, hand them a rifle, give them minimal physical conditioning and training, and they do not build discipline within their ranks. Instead, you have these insanely brave sandniggers ramboing and getting killed instantly or deserters who turn tail the moment the guns start firing because they have no confidence in their cause or their commanders. You're better off just deputizing paramilitary organizations who are far better organized and motivated.

>Who are Hezbollah

>>3193374
why is that? Have they not needed discipline in their forces before? What changed that they grew so lax?

>freed slaves immediatly begin to enslave the local native population
>decades later, Liberia's government sells its mines to private companies

Oh, how could anything go right ?

Former slaves moved there and put the native africans on plantations. Native tribes overthrew the government in the 80s and it has been a shithole ever since

There's a vice (I know, vice sucks) documentary on the cannibal warlords there

It was a meme pushed by the USA in WW2 to obtain military bases in South America. After Roosevelt it was never mentioned again.

Because the colonial heritage, cultural and political incompatibility, and power imbalance between the continents means that Latin America will always be America's bitch. Pan-Americanism was a meme that encouraged cooperation between American states so we could flood their markets with our manufactured goods and siphon their raw materials and oil.
Frankly, Pan-Americanism is just imperialism in disguise.

Both populations would riot and both leaders would have resigned the moment the thing was made public. It was retarded and never could have happened, how it was proposed twice is beyond me.
