an influx of german war criminals following WWII. if anyone knows how to make a failed state, it's the germans
Now that the dust has settled, what's your assessment of Robert McNamara?
My rating: clever schoolboy with zero insight who thrived on getting high grades, first literally then later figuratively. The real reason he quit as president of Ford to become Sec. Def. is because he wasn't comfortable being at the top of the command chain.

Disastrous. Caught up in the advent of new technology. He thought it would solve everything, and he was wrong.

I know Jack shit about religion and I want to become a more religious person. What's a good way to learn about the History of religion and read religious texts? I'm lost and have no idea where to start.
>>2954420
Read the poetic Edda. Or specify what religion you want to know about. The guy in this pic. could be jesus or just some random dude.
Start by Chaturvedas.
Most ancient text.
Written in Sanskrit btw.
>>2954420
Read the bible paying lots of attention to how evil and unjust the god of that religion is.
why was the interwar period such a shitshow? i find it really hard to see the radicalization of germany as anything but a direct result of Allied policy

More accurately a mutlideity with a confused and evolving nature that changes as the Jews import new traditions and better information. After all we know:

Sherman didn't finish the fucking job
I would've been twice as brutal in his place, hundreds of thousands of bodies later and wasted income that could've went into development, all just because a bunch of retarded inbreeders are too lazy to let their slaves go. We had to go all through that in 1861, a whole fucking war to end slavery like a bunch of keks while Europe abolished it with no hassle 50 years earlier.
I would've fucking burned down most of their towns and killed their captured generals.

The soviet union destroyed the third reich.
Why did Hitler completely raze the entire city of Warsaw?
>>2953535
because of this

More fun, than actually dealing with soviets and allied forces.
Because they changed their name from Warchau.
is their any basis to this
i know alot of Neo Nazis, Black Hebrew Israelites etc. celebrate this theory
>>2953530
it's basically pure speculation and should be irrelevant.
yes
GENESIS 10:2-5
"The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. By these were the isles of the Gentiles (not Israelites, not Jews) divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations."
The Ashkenazi descended from Japeth, not Shem

Roommate got this from his ~90 year old German grandmother, it
looks like a replica and neither of us know anything about medals. Anyone know what this is supposed to be, /his/?
>>2953286
a greek cross

Any links for reference?
you were lucky to get it, the iron cross in possession of my great grandmother disappeared
I suspect it was taken by the people going over her estate
Is this video historically accurate?

It's very simplistic, but true enough.

Man that show was awesome. So of course it's accurate. Except the manlet Napoleon portrayal
I feel very open minded today.
Give me the most honest to god information about the Third Reich. Is our mainstream opinion of the Third Reich ACTUALLY warped because the Allies made sure to misconstrue as much about a regime we never lived in as much as possible, due to the "history is written by the victor" meme? Or is the mainstream view on the Third Reich largely correct?
No /pol/ bullshit. Give me honest and true information. Recommend me legitimate literature that will give me honest insight about the Third Reich as well if you want.
>>2953145
Regardless of other factors, one of the greatest problems with the Third Reich was the level of fanaticism it required from the population. Nazis will say this isn't a bug but a feature however this is because they are infected with the same fanaticism. Any political system that sets it leader up as a sort of demigod is bound to become grotesque and this is precisely what happened in Nazi Germany. I think modern people will never be able to truly comprehend how intoxicating a Nazi rally was because we've been desensitized by mass media whereas that level of spectacle was completely novel in 30s/40s. With this in mind, it's not surprising how rationality was drowned out by the sound and fury of Hitler's propaganda machine.
>>2953145
>Or is the mainstream view on the Third Reich largely correct?
What view? Like the above anon said, it's hard to imagine a historical event like that when we live in an era of postmodern irony and cynicism.
>>2953145
> Is our mainstream opinion of the Third Reich ACTUALLY warped because the Allies made sure to misconstrue as much about a regime we never lived in as much as possible, due to the "history is written by the victor" meme?
That depends where are you from, Russian will have the very different way of warping compared to American or German. The mainstream view does not usually deviate far from reality (maybe except for the Russians), but don't trust anyone projecting contemponary issues into it.

Can we talk about the history and emergence of "terrorism" in the Islamic world? Where does it come from, and how did it come about? Is it a modern phenomenon?
Does anyone have relevant statistics as to the national backgrounds of most "Islamic terrorists"? Is it mostly an Arab problem? After all, there are lots of different cultures and nationalities which have embraced Islam as a religion, and of those groups Arabs are a minority, and then the Arab world itself can be further divided into various cultural/religious subgroups.
>>2953137
The existence of the Taliban should make it clear that this isn't just an Arab problem.
It's mostly a Sunni problem.
>>2953172
Aren't the Taliban a local movement? It seems like a separate phenomenon.
>>2953187
Sunni radicalism got riled up in the face of an invading secular power, with a lot of money flowing in from Gulf monarchies.
The Taliban's form of Islamism is connected to pashtun nationalism, but they are definitely Islamists. The two are sort of melded into one.
