Tragically right.

No clue why people think this is a parable.

>>2517671
Does this not prove that saints have no power of advocacy?

>>2517683
Only if you define saints like the Catholics do.

The bible clearly states that all Christians are sanctified by the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, and thus all born again Christians are saints whether living here or living there.

>>2517647
Nah, things like the Crimean war are way worse.

Probably, but only because Romans could afford such horrendous loses over and over again. Any other state would just say "Fuck it" after they had lost 100k in a storm for the first time.

I think you're confused on the first Punic war

Say the fucking kid in a chinese cartoon imageboard.

Also /rulers with a terrible fate/ I guess

What happened to Mussoloni many of you already know.

I'm not influential in history, idiot.

I meant the biggest losers who were important historical figures, not all losers who existed obviously.

They wanted to keep Yugoslavia with a clearly Serbian biased leader, which Tito was not.

The other Yugoslav nations decided to part, Serbia simply didn't want to let go of its power and regional influence. They are totally to blame.

>>2517486
>Serbs weren't that guilty since they wanted to keep old Yugoslavia or at least create a confederative Yugoslavia
total nonsense, the serbs pretty much gave up on the yugoslav project and just wanted to use the visage of it as a vehicle for a greater serbia

>>2517511
Yes, and no.
It's a LOT more complicated.
The actual right wing nationalist forces were against Milosevic during pretty much the whole conflict.
I mean the Serbian right wing, monarchist, anti communist SPO held massive protests before the war started, trying to bring him down. There were tanks on the streets.
People often say that Milosevic was a nationalist. And that's wrong. He was a Machiavellian communist scumbag to the bone, he employed populist rhetoric for his own power, he wanted the people to see him as the reincarnation of Leka Rankovic.
He gladly let the Croats ethnically cleanse Serbs, because the alternative would have undermined his power over the country (he didn't want any kind of autonomy anywhere).
HE DIDN'T LET THE SERBIAN REFUGEES IN, HE BLOCKED THE ROADS WITH POLICE. HE SENT THEM TO KOSOVO, BECAUSE HE DIDN'T NEED THEM.
In a masterstroke of gerrymandering he held 80% of the representatives with 45% of the votes.
The LIBERALS often criticized him for not helping Bosnian Serbs. (The ones who nationalists often claim are traitors).
He had a 19.810,2 % inflation rate.
When the guy who managed to stabilize the currency stated that the government can't keep ignoring international monetary institutions, he was sacked.

Better question is why you would want to be Albanian in the first place

>>2517439
I wish I was Albanian sometimes. It's basically rural Pakistan in modern day Europe. Some interesting stuff probably happens in the tribal Highlands.

>"sure" "I guess so" "yea, whatever"

And thus democracy was born

>>2517419
It's more critical theory, devalue western achievements on spurious grounds.

>"See? We can draw an inference from some archaeology that these people had some sort of proto-communitarianism!"
>"That means PoC invented democracy and not cisable bigot Greeks!"

Implying democracy isn't the most basic form of government. If a bunch of primitives want to work together, their first instinct will be to form some sort of democracy, because they're not advanced enough to have social stratification. It takes established social and economic hierarchy and advanced society to establish monarchy or oligarchy.

triggered, update map please

>Village

yup

it had perhaps more to do with the fact that people were traveling faster around the world thus increasing the propagation speed of possible diseases

>>2517309
I was thinking more along the lines that a Muslim time traveler went back to try to kill Genghis Khan or something.

>>2517359
So Muslims are behind the Great Mortality?

We call them Suckers because they died for this shitholes.

The Sherman was a piece of shit tank that exploded if you so much as sneezed at it, and could only prevail against German tanks by overwhelming numbers, most of which would explode trying to get into a flanking position.


It just annoys me. Maybe there are more fundamental misunderstandings of history, but I'm active in my local wargaming scene, and I hear that one a lot.

No such thing as objective morality. We live in a system with a set orientation, and we play the game best we can.
