Not a Soviet ruler but if Putin was an American politician we would elect the shit out of him. Nixon would probably do well as Soviet premier, of the presidents who were around during and after the office's existence.

>>2984697
Gorbachev, because he was the best ruler the Soviet Union ever had.

>>2984669
Yes.

"Time" isn't, our measurement of it is.

Time is change, there was change before any life was on this planet, so no.

16th-16th century armies didn't actually fight that much, though. Military doctrine was to avoid decisive battles unless the odds were overwhelmingly in your favor, if possible. You'd spent most of your time marching around, or looting. Cavalry were mostly armed with guns and didn't like to charge strong infantry formations.

You'd be much more likely to die of disease, which hits all types of troops equally.

The obvious answer, though, is infantry in something like the American Civil War or World War 1, where casualty rates were atrocious.

>>2984568
Fair point, and i might have worded it poorly, but what i meant was a type of troop that was not necessarily seen as expendable, but still had a high chance of getting killed

Now in the cases you mentioned, it's certainly a case of modern weapons and outdated tactics, but are there other examples of troops that might have had been used in a tactically sound manner, but still were expected to suffer heavy losses

>>2984589
I would argue that the ACW was not a case of outdated tactics at all. Grant knew he had more than twice as many men as his opponent, so he purposely launched bloody assaults, knowing that he'd eventually be the only one left standing with an army (which he was).

what are your thoughts on these topics, OP

No, because Turkey would be a much more wealthy and powerful state with their Islam dominating the region instead of Wahabism/Salafism. There would be no Saudi Arabia, no extremist mosque funding etc.

I think the real question here is that if Britain is so good how the fuck does Ireland exist?

How did the British get so badly spanked by some uppity bog-dwellers?
Not only that, when they started to get ballsy again in your last bastion of Ireland-NI-when they rebelled and murdered their way across your country, how come you signed a deal which forever enshrined their cause as an integral and essential part of Northern Ireland?

You let Ireland secede, and then have essentially promised that Northern Ireland will eventually do the same by doing everything to protect nationalists and nothing to protect loyalists.


British Autism was the downfall of their Empire.

July 28th - Austria declared war on Serbia July 28th
Russia began mobilization against Austria-Hungary and tells Germany this is against Austria-Hungary and not Germany
August 1st - Germany declares war on Russia
August 3rd - Germany declares war on France
August 4th - Germany invades Belgium and draws Britain into the war
August 6th - Austria-Hungary declares war on Russia

Without Germany's autism, it would've been a regional conflict.

Turks are mostly descendants of neolithic Anatolian farmers with a bit of admixture from all other peoples that at some point passed through or conquered that piece of land.

The level of Turkic admixture among the Turks is miniscule. Turks however are LARPers who somehow believe their direct ancestors came from Altai and chased away those smelly Byzantines.

>>2985907
Linguistically they are completely different, but genetically it's a really weird story.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Turkish_people

"Several studies have concluded that the genetic haplogroups indigenous to Western Asia have the largest share in the gene pool of the present-day Turkish population.[2][2][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] "
