I read because of De Gaul wanting a more issolation policy for France. Wasn't there almost a coup because of this decision?

It was never going to work in the long run anyway. De Gaulle was smart enough to see that.

No, the Soviets already had massive defenses. The delay actually increased the probability of success but the operation was never that great to begin with. Tank autism is only a minor role

even if they win the kursk battle, meaning they encircle the soviet forces, they were cronically undermanned meaning the encircling divisions could get easily trapped in the event of soviet attacks on the flanks or worst case, soviets divisions can break through to safety

they simply did not have enough men anymore to have both the panzer and infantry divisions at full strenght which is cruical to hold ground

this notion comes up all the time in german memoirs, how their platoons/divisions etc were undermanned, how it is impossible to make use of a local breakthrough because theres no infantry/infantry division to keep the gain so the panzers can keep rolling

almost all of the infantry divisions were classified as "fully capable of defense" which is almost the lowest rank in their combat capabality system

>No, the Soviets already had massive defenses. The delay actually increased the probability of success but the operation was never that great to begin with.
The keys to Soviet victory during Kursk were the thousands of miles of fortifications built, and the overall depth of their elastic defence. Most of the fortifications were built from April to July, in which 4200 km of trenches and 500 km of antitank defenses were built by civilian labourers. Furthermore during this period 64 340 antipersonnel mines were laid, as well as 69 688 antitank mines in the primary defensive belt alone. Finally the delay gave the Soviets time to prepare a proper communications network, which was always a weak point of the Soviet forces. Thousands of miles of wire and roads were built to increase communication and allow for transport of reserves. The Germans had managed to smash through the initial Soviet defensive lines in Barbarossa and the Blau Offensive, it is not a stretch to say they could have done much better, if not succeeded in closing the 160 mile encirclement at Kursk. Not that this would have changed the outcome of the war, but operational success was definitely plausible in March or early May.

I think its odd that there weren't any disease the native americans carried that devastated europeans. The only bad one I can think of is Syphilis, but it wasn't apocalypse tier like Smallpox was

What airborne infectious diseases did the Natives carry, if any?

>>2580322

Plagues like what devastated the new world came about from domesticated animals and big cities being a factor in that development (lots of people and animals together).

I know that after the Spaniards came, a plague native to Mexico developed that both Natives and Whites were both equally susceptible to. If this had spread to Europe it could have drastically changed everything.

Many people are saying the Holocaust™ never happened. That it is just a huge hoax. At first I thought this was absurd. In school we were always taught about the 6 million™ and how Hitler hated them for no reason and the Jews didn't do nothing and all those 1000 nations that kicked out the Jews since 4000 B.C just used Jews as a scapegoat for their problems.

They always say the number 6,000,000™ over and over again 6,000,000™ this, 6,000,000™ that. Apparently this number was being used way before WW2 started and the Jews were always claiming 6,000,000™ of them were being killed. What is with the Jewish obsession of the number 6? Must be a (((coincidence))).

I first started questioning this Jewish mythology when I first learned about Palestine. The Jews over there are killing babies and drinking their blood over Satanic rituals. I remember Jesus said something about the Jews being the Synagogue of Satan Then I see all these Jews killing thousands of Palestinians and stealing their land. They were doing exactly what Hitler claimed they said. This wasn't blaming them, the Jews were outright in the open in broad daylight committing their crimes

Hitler said the Jews were trying to steal all of Germany's land and money. Then I found out about the Jewish November Revolution where Jews tried to invade Germany and turn it into a (((Communist))) dictatorship. The entire attack was by 100% Jews who attacked Germany. So much for being hated for no reason.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Revolution_of_1918%E2%80%9319

I thought the Jews didn't do anything and they are hated for no reason. Yet here we have so many reasons.

OP is a buttblasted pharisee.

God died for our sins. We are justified by faith in Him. Works won't get you to heaven.

And don't worry, the next time Christ comes back it will be as a lion, not a sheep.

First Chaos came, and then broad-bosomed Earth,
The everlasting seat of all that is,
And Love. In other words, after Chaos, the Earth and Love, these two, came into being. Also Parmenides sings of Generation:

First in the train of gods, he fashioned Love. And Acusilaus agrees with Hesiod. Thus numerous are the witnesses who acknowledge Love to be the eldest of the gods.

Isaiah 53 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

53 Who has believed what we have heard?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
and like a root out of dry ground;
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by others;
a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity;
and as one from whom others hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him of no account.

>>2579332
he fulfilled *some* of the prophecy. in order for him to be the Messiah he had to have fulfilled all of it. God was very specific in the Old Testament.

>>2579317
Because he'll do all that when he comes back, apparently.

Wow OP, you sound like a huge faggot.

First you need to realize that none of that stuff matters at all, in any time scale. Going to the gym, what book to read ect. You can do those things if they bring you pleasure and help you, but they are meaningless in the cosmic sense. The universe does not revolve around you. You have placed yourself at the center of the universe because that's where you are viewing it from. But that's an illusion. You are an autistic screeching ape on a minor planet of an ordinary star, one of billions two thirds of the way out towards the edge of a standard spiral galaxy in a universe filled with billions of other galaxies. There is absolutely nothing important about anything about any of this. The stars, the mountains, how many books you read, and weather or not anyone else cares. There is not enough time for you to think enough thoughts to be satisfied that you have it all right or have figured it all out.

You feel like all that stuff, every decision and choice matters because you think that you matter. But the truth is, you don't matter. Not any more than anybody else. Not any more than any other thing in this universe. All the stars and trees and books and mountains and people all shitting and fucking and laughing and toiling away life. Every thing that exists is as meaningless as you. Let this free you from your fear that you have to keep up and do everything right to be the best you can. Try as you might, you are not more important than anything else in the universe. Instead of worrying about your place in it all, understand that your existence connects you to all else that exists on an equal playing field of meaninglessness. This book, that concert, that girl, that shirt, this hour, that day, this dream, that nightmare. Stop worrying about it all. Let it exist. Let yourself exist. Make your choices free from the worry of consequence because there are none in the cosmic timescale. Eat a chocolate chip cookie, play with a warm puppy, watch the sun rise and set

Matthew 5:43-48 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Violence is a way to lose the ego in that you become like an animal, now that I think about it, acting and becoming entirely like an animal is probably a way to lose the ego and sense of self in general
