Babur or Nader Shah.
Babur encountered lots of hardship, lost often, but thanks to general perseverance and ingenuity he built a legacy and left a lasting mark on the face of the world.
Nader Shah was a tactical and strategic genius but his legacy didn't last for shit, and his name was forgotten, even in his own homeland.

Marching from NA through Roman occupied Spain, France, and Italy ain't no joke man. He was wreaking havoc in the Italian countryside for a few years when Rome wouldn't capitulate and finally got driven out after a long campaign. Sure he got BTFO and Carthage got salted to death but it's not like he wasn't an extremely good general.

Just because the Romans claim he started it, doesn't mean he did.

How true is this quote now?
I see it every time there's an anti-Gulf Nation post/thread but I feel like it's something people are just saying to comfort themselves like "O-one day we'll have the last laugh...".
Is it still true?

Gulf Arabs are what we call "nigger rich". They have the largest oil reserves on the planet but they don't use the profit it generates to diversify the economy, instead they spend it all on expensive cars, cock-shaped skyscrapers and opulent theme parks. So yeah, once the oil runs out, they're back in poverty.
>>
That's accurate though, when oil stops being relevant their lifestyle is dead. Saudis are already prepping for the shift while they still have money.

Hi, inheritance exam next week, wish me luck.
All law threads i've seen so far have died quickly, so i guess most of the people that posted are students too and don't feel competent enough to discuss some aspects.
>>
>>2968379
Good luck anon, you are going to ace it. People should not be discouraged from discussing, law is not a science such as physics or mathematics, there is no correct interpretation, as long as you have arguments to support a viewpoint, it is all good.

Thank you, i aced my market regulation exam last week, and it really motivated me.

Do you think the romans and the sassanids would've banded together if they knew the dangers of islam? Imagine them together marching into mecca and burning the whole place down.

Because we are one human race. There is no such thing as westerners or western spirituality. We are all one human race
Therefore everyone is free to choose their spiritual path, regardless of the geographical location it comes from.
