The USSR quickly became anti-Israel though. Ironically, Israel was most closely allied with all the racist right-wing states that /pol/ loves like Rhodesia and South Africa.
Why some Bashkirs have red hair? were they celts?
>>2462424
>all redhair are celts
They just have similar genes with celts that causes redhair
>>2462433
they also have the haplogroup r1b, coincidence??!!
The map doesn't address the preponderance of red hair in the Kurdish community or in Uzbekistan. Legend states that the gene was either brought by Alexanders men or the Norse penetrated a lot further than they were given credit for.
Why is the burning of the Library of Alexandria so depressing?
Because you will never read the Chaldean Oracles and the lost writtings of the Neoplatonists.
Feels bad man.
When you look at ISIS now, never forget that that was what Christianity looked like back then.
Because you're some pseudo ''historian'' who likes to fanwank over historical events and self-insert yourself into them.
>B-but all that knowledge I could be reading!
Implying you really give a shit. How well educated are you in this modern era? PhD? Professorship?
You haven't even scratched the surface of what we know now yet you whine about 'lost knowledge' as though it were so precious to you.
Has real communism ever been tried?
No, but neither has real capitalism.
>>2453756
No, it has never got passed the dictatorship of the proletariat phase and that's because communism is retarded and ignores human nature

Fall Blau could have been succesful if it wasn't for Stalingrad seems to be the popular notion.
Is it true?
>>2466146
How are you defining a success for Case Blue?
>>2466166
the successful occupation of the caucasus all the way to baku
>>2466146
Stalingrad had to be taken in order to secure the northern flank in their advance to Baku, that was mandatory.
The Germans planned to use the Volga river as a natural defense line to keep the soviets from attempting to advance from the North and recapture German gains in the Caucasus, since Stalingrad was on the Western banks of the Volga, leaving it alone for the Soviets to use as a beachhead to stage attacks from the Volga was unacceptable.
of course much more played into it, the ideological meaning of taking Stalin's city made both sides all the more obsessed with the outcome of the battle, where the Germans became so focused on taking the city that they left their other flanks along the Volga River vulnerable to encirclement, which was exactly what happened.
Who was in the right?
Poland would be greatest winner if did what French did (financing swedish rape of germany) instead of leading pro-habsurg politics and lending them cheap mercenaries. But they still did not bad considering that they realized that religious civil war is shit and extended religious freedoms
So overall the greater winners are: France, Sweden and to lesser extend Poland

how did poland win? the swedish rape of germany financed the swedish rape of poland

Was this war a christmas miracle?
Ever since I saw this "quote" by Epicurus my bullshit detector goes off. Does anyone know the original passagevthis is from, because it really doesn't sound like something Epicurus would concern himself with or how he constructs arguments.
The primary source has not survived. The earliest surviving sources attributing it to him are from the Roman Empire, ~400 years after his death, at which time it was treated like "common knowledge." It is possible it's misattributed, but I don't agree at all with "doesn't sound like something Epicurus would concern himself with or how he constructs arguments."
This kind of questioning of the gods was hardly unique among post Peloponnesian war Athenian sophists.
Protagoras wrote quite a bit about agnosticism.

>mfw christcucks still can't refute this
Who is the worst leader in all of human history? I'm not talking about someone who had politics you didn't agree with, but in terms of ensuring the life and happiness of the people under their rule who fucked up the hardest?
Communists.
>>2463781
Any particular Communist in mind?
Pol Pot of course, killing everyone who wore glasses is pretty batshit insane, it was so bad that the commies condemned him
Seriously, what the fuck was Hitler thinking when he invaded the Soviet Union?

"They are extremely incompetent, look at Finland
Besides, they inflate their numbers and tech advancement for propaganda"
>>2463522
After the Russo-Japanese war, the First World War, the Russian Revolution, the Russian Civil War and the Soviet-Finnish war, and the Great Purge, it looked like the USSR is:
1. Starved for military aged men.
2. Starved for capable commanders.
3. About to implode and collapse any moment now.
Any person with IQ above room temperature would look at the situation and say Germany will win very easily and quickly.
Nobody, not the Germans, not the British, not even the Russians, expected that the USSR will be able to hold on to their core lands, let alone win the war, let alone push Germany back.
If I was a gambling man in 30s-40s Europe, I'd be very, very surprised that France fell to Germany, especially that fast, but I'd be twice as surprised that the USSR didn't fall even faster.
What's wrong with a Kurdish state?
If Jews are allowed their ancient ancestral homeland back from Arabs then why shouldn't the proud Kurds also be given back their ancient lands they've lived on for millenial?
