1. HOW DOES THE WIDESPREADNESS, AND THE PREVALENCE, OF BRUTALITY IN HIS TIME MAKE HIM ANY LESS OF A "BLOODTHIRSTY WARMONGER", ACCORDING TO YOU?

2. BRUTALITY IS JUST AS WIDESPREAD AND PREVALENT NOW AS IT WAS IN HIS TIME, BUT NOW THE CAPABILITY FOR DESTRUCTION, AND DISHONESTY REGARDING BRUTALITY, ARE INFINITELY GREATER.

so what if it was common? In india public defecation is common

Definitely. I've read up on how he manages his troops and armies, and they're quite advanced. Genghis Khan was quite liberal/modernist/universal in how he treated religion. He had respect for great men of wisdom from all religions he encountered. He had qualms about certain religions imposing certain restrictions on diet and such (muslim). He would quite regularly invite many religious scholars from all types(taoist, confusionist, buddhist, christian, islam, shamans,etc) and have them debate (this tradition continued on to his legacy (atleast for the non-muslims)).

His conscription rule prohibited the religious people of all kinds on religious/sacred grounds.

The blood thirsty wars are basically due to mongols introducing the eastern warfare to the west and the foreigness of mongols creating a stacking effect.

Most spanish conquistadors were sent there hoping they'd die because nobody liked them back home.

Is this for real? Cortez really did do a great job at conquering the Aztec Empire

Wanting to break away from a larger state to form a smaller state isn't anarchism.

Au fondement de l'anarchisme de droite, on trouve en premier lieu une critique assez violente contre le pouvoir d'une minorité d'intellectuels. Cette critique porte paradoxalement à la fois sur l'inefficacité de ce pouvoir et sur ses dangers. Les intellectuels, soumis à l'idéologie dominante des démocraties, sont censés renforcer le conformisme intellectuel qui est inhérent à ce type de gouvernement. Ces intellectuels deviennent alors les principaux artisans de ces démocraties, car les démocraties parlementaires fondent leur autorité sur l'expression d'une majorité justement influençable, et qui doit être influencée pour maintenir la population, « entière » dans leur cage.

C'est là que réside, selon les anarchistes de droite, le fondement du pouvoir politique et, par extension, de la tyrannie politique. Selon eux, les intellectuels ne seraient pas une force de résistance contre le pouvoir politique ; au mieux, ils n'auraient aucun impact sur lui, au pire, ils le renforceraient et recevraient des classes dominantes leur récompense ; ainsi, Karl Marx meurt dans la pauvreté et Adam Smith dans l'aisance matérielle.

La critique des anarchistes de droite ne s'arrête pas à cet aspect politique et idéologique. Elle s'attaque également à une autre source du pouvoir démocratique : le conformisme des foules. Ce « pouvoir du peuple », cette « ferveur de la foule », ils la rejettent comme manipulation. Elle n'admet que la révolte individuelle, qu'elle opposera avec obstination à toute autorité institutionnelle ou s'autoproclamant intellectuelle. Ainsi en est-il de Louis-Ferdinand Céline qui raconte dans Voyage au bout de la nuit comment, n'ayant aucune envie de partir au front durant la guerre de 14-18, il se heurte aux remontrances et aux sarcasmes de ses contemporains qui lui reprochent son manque de ferveur et son absence de patriotisme.

It was the belief that the Americans could nuke every single one of their cities.

This.

The leadership was more than happy to lose the war in a bloody nightmare.

It's just the thought of doing it without killing any enemies that pushed them over the edge.

>>3057484
Form strategic point of view such loss of life could easily have been acceptable where as the loss of only Japanese industrial base(and the major one since they held nearly 60% of japanese war production) that was outside of reach for US strategic bombings. Mainland had in practical terms had already run out of steel&iron in the early 45.

Well initially the main aim of Imperial Germany was to prevent further mobilization of the European powers and as such prevent escalation.
Despite how he is portrayed in revisionist entente history, Wilhelm II did everything he could to prevent the war and of all of the leaders involved in the first weltkrieg, was the one who worked the hardest in regards to ending the conflict and preventing further loss of life.

As the war dragged on.
Imperial Germany became determined to prevent Europe from ever again being shaken and bled by Anglo-Frog aggression.
As such the war aims of Imperial Germany involved a large amount of land annexations and dependency creations in the east (most importantly, the breadbasket of Ukraine) in-order to make Mitteleuropa impervious to any sort of shortages resulting from an anglo blockade.

In the west, there were several goals.
The first was to prevent the French from having a defensible border with the Kaiserreich (to discourage further frog war-mongering).
Secondly, Imperial Germany hoped to fix some accidents of history by uniting various west-German peoples into the holy Kaiserreich.
Finally in a further attempt to discourage the frogs from doing what they do best (war-mongering), Imperial Germany intended to annex the resource rich french territory that bordered Elsaß-Lothringen.

It is harder to ascertain what Imperial Germany plans were in regards to colonies.
However striping the French of its Afrikan colonies and the anglos of Malta seems like the most likely scenario.

1. Cripple Russia. With Russia's rapid industrialization following the Russo-Japanese War, the German High Command felt that a confrontation with Russia needed to happen as soon as possible to solidify german Hegemony over Eastern Europe

2. Cripple France
Russia was the threat down the line. France was Germany's current and historical continental rival. To ensure continental dominance, it had to be reduced to an economically dependent and militarily defensive rumpstate.

3. Deny English access to continental Channel Ports
Once the former two goals were achieved, British influence had to be curtailed. Historically, England had been the most detrimental force opposing any rising continental power, given their foreign policy centered on not letting a european country get too strong. To this end, Belgium and the Netherlands had to at the very least be brought under German influence, if not outright annexed.

4. Muh Mittleafrika, muh Weltzmarine
I can't say how much of this was Willy's goal versus the people actually calling the shots, but there were plans for a german controlled southern Africa. Of course it was an impossible pipedream without the subjegation of rival European powers.

They wanted America to be the land for everyone, while Israel is an Ashkenazi ethno-state

I dunno but I'm sure realpolitik and seducing the third world away from Soviet influence had something to do with it.

Because they beat the Spanish the way that the Americans beat the British and the Vietnamese beat the Americans and lots of little powers at the end of large Empires have done throughout history. They were simply an enormous amount of trouble to take down, far more so than could be gained by subduing them.

I can't even think of land battles where the Dutch beat the Spanish off the top of my head, although I'm sure there are some. Mostly they buttonholed up in their cities, flooded the countryside, raided with their ships, and counted on the costs of the war driving things for the Hapsburgs, who after had a great deal of trouble projecting force into the Netherlands without prohibitive expense.

There was a stalemate, Spain won at land and the dutch (that btw were supported by other countries) on the sea but that ended when Spain decided to help Austria during the 30 years war, there were revolts in Catalonia and Portugal too, and the spanish armies were bussy fighting the french and protestants over all Europe. So basically the war exhaustion killed them.

>>3056912

What kind of question is this?
France was at war with Spain too. And France back then had more than twice the population of Spain.
Also, around 1640 Spain had a civil war against Portugal which regained its independence, and Catalonia.

Spain was often at war with France, the Netherlands, the UK, Germans protestant states and Turks, simulatenously.

Basically, without Richelieu (a Catholic priest who allied who believed in realpolitik and allied France with protestants and muslims) there would be no protestants in continental europe (outside the British Islands and Scandinavia)

you give much credit to the CIA and Soros

This Soros guy sounds pretty cool the way you're telling the story.

Fights commies, military juntas, Jim Crow, and other evildoers.

If what you tell me is true, why would I side against him?

>"Can there be a greater stumbling block than Christianity? All the prophets spoke of Mashiach as the redeemer of Israel and their savior who would gather their dispersed and strengthen their observance of the mitzvot. In contrast, Christianity caused the Jews to be slain by the sword, their remnants to be scattered and humbled, the Torah to be altered, and the majority of the world to err and serve a god other than the Lord.

>"Nevertheless, the intent of the Creator of the world is not within the power of man to comprehend, for His ways are not our ways, nor are His thoughts, our thoughts. Ultimately, all the deeds of Jesus of Nazareth and that Ishmaelite who arose after him will only serve to prepare the way for Mashiach's coming and the improvement of the entire world, motivating the nations to serve God together as Tzephaniah 3:9 states: 'I will transform the peoples to a purer language that they all will call upon the name of God and serve Him with one purpose.'

>"How will this come about? The entire world has already become filled with the mention of Mashiach, Torah, and mitzvot. These matters have been spread to the furthermost islands to many stubborn-hearted nations. They discuss these matters and the mitzvot of the Torah, saying: 'These mitzvot were true, but were already negated in the present age and are not applicable for all time.'

>"Others say: 'Implied in the mitzvot are hidden concepts that can not be understood simply. The Mashiach has already come and revealed those hidden truths.'

>'When the true Messianic king will arise and prove successful, his position becoming exalted and uplifted, they will all return and realize that their ancestors endowed them with a false heritage and their prophets and ancestors caused them to err."

Oh shit I agree with this dude.
Does he have anything worth reading?

>>3056657
Not OP, but Moreh Nevuchim is quite good. However, he's writing it as a "basic guide", but not to a lay person, he's really aiming at a rabbinical student. If you're not fairly conversant with Jewish theology, a lot of it will lead you in the dark as he just skips over all the basics.

Both countries were in NATO, and nobody wanted a war between two NATO allies.

The Cypriot Greeks had been conducting pogroms against Cypriot Turks for ages.

The Greek military junta fell because of their fuckwitted handling of the entire matter.
