>dispute between iraq and iran since the 70's over shaat al arab waterway
>according to treaty between british mandate of iraq and persia, the waterway belongs to iraq and iran must pay a toll
>iran starts violating it in the 70s and using it anyway, while arming kurdish terrorists in the north
>saddam makes deal with shah's iran, he'll agree to split the shaat down the middle, if iran agrees to stop supporting terrorists
>they both agree, things go good for 4 years
>iran has revolution, diehard religious fanatic Khomeini comes to power, pisses off every country except his british and israeli backers

>supports terrorists which blow up university in baghdad
>increasing border skirmishes
>saddam decides to attack iran to take back the waterway, thinking the west will support him
>in reality west supports both sides against each other, using israel to send weapons to iran
>iraq push in all the way to dezful
>iran starts launching human wave attacks of children since they are religiously fanatic and dont care about casualties
>after 2 iraq decides the rising death toll isn't worth it, and withdraws back to the borders, offering a ceasefire
>iran refuses, saying they want to conquer karbala etc etc
>iran invades iraq for the next 6 years, refusing all ceasefires
>iran only captures a small amount of areas and iraq uses chemical weapons to stop them from capturing basra
>after 6 years, iraq pushes iran out from all iraqi territory in just a few days, which had taken iran 6 years to capture
>iran's leaders beg khomeini to accept ceasefire since they have no hope and have essentially lost
>khomeini says he will accept ceasefire like "drinking from poison"
>iraqis celebrate the ceasefire in baghdad, while iranians in tehran mourn it seeing it as a defeat
>1 year later khomeini dies cause he's so butthurt over losing

The end.

Daily reminder that Iraq literally electrified a swamp to stop an Iranian offensive.

>Soon after his wife Arline died, he got a short telegram stating that the trinity test will be conducted on July 16, 1945. He rushed to Los Alamos and witnessed the thing [famously he was the first person to see it‘directly’ (he viewed it through windshield) as everyone else saw it with googles]. Feynman mind was rather happy that all the calculation that they had done worked perfectly. When the news came that the bomb was dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the reaction of the people at Los Alamos was elation and excitement. Feynman was also involved in this happy thing- he was drinking and played drums sitting on the hood of a jeep, while at the same time people were struggling in Hiroshima.

>I returned to civilization shortly after that and went to Cornell to teach, and my first impression was a very strange one. I can't understand it any more, but I felt very strongly then. I sat in a restaurant in New York, for example, and I looked out at the buildings and I began to think, you know, about how much the radius of the Hiroshima bomb damage was and so forth... How far from here was 34th street?... All those buildings, all smashed — and so on. And I would go along and I would see people building a bridge, or they'd be making a new road, and I thought, they're crazy, they just don't understand, they don't understand. Why are they making new things? It's so useless. But, fortunately, it's been useless for almost forty years now, hasn't it? So I've been wrong about it being useless making bridges and I'm glad those other people had the sense to go ahead.

American actually.

Yeah, but that's merely the legacy. What are they anymore?

The jacobin phase of the revolution is despised tho.

>>2443562
In the French Revolution, Robespierre is the villain, and Napoleon the hero.
In the Russian Revolution, Lenin is the hero, and Stalin is the villain.

Why this reverse, since Lenin was basically Robespierre, and Stalin was basically Napoleon?

>>2443558
They are both despised by people who know what's up. Also Emma Stone is ugly.

>inb4 plebs with their neon '80s garbage

The United States retained a great deal of the security apparatus created by the Second World War, after realizing that the Soviet Union intended to annex half of Europe and represented a fundamentally hostile power to the western democracies.

The National Security Act created the CIA and National Security Council, which centralized American foreign policy to within the Oval Office.

A massive post-war economic boom was tempered by the knowledge that a destructive war with the communists was highly probable, but the United States remained determined to contain communism and protect the free world.

In domestic politics, the gradual expansion of the civil rights movement began the desegregation of the military and Brown vs. Board of Education and escalated to the point where MLK was marching a quarter of a million people onto Washington.

To put it another way:

No it's more like

A. God is good
B. Devil is bad

>>2440945
It hinges on:
>Humans being able to determine characteristics of god
>Humans being able to determine what is evil or not

>>2440945
It's a non-dilemma.
We as humans cannot attribute our morality standards to God.

colonialism makes ugly border

>>2439664
Usually yes, but in this case no.
Malaysia is a ethnic Malay state and was envisioned as such, these funny borders are simply where Malays are.
It could have been worse, ethno-states in places like the Philippines would look absurd. European States were able to get clean borders because centuries have intermittent state warfare and population movement made everyone move to their side of natural borders.

SEA here, if that was the case, then it should include southern Thailand, Brunei, whole coastal Borneo, Singaore, and Sumatra island next door

Not culturally, and that's one of the points.

>>2439558
Been there for a couple of years. Culturally and even etnichally they are quite different from the rest of CA. A friend gave me a brief explanation, that goes like this:

CR was the poorest country of New Spain and they didnt even had money to buy that many slaves. Hacendados (or whatever the fuck you write that) actually had to work their lands themselves. I guess the fact that CA just didn't care about the backwater shit hole made them more independant (and they apperantly have a bit of a gudge over that. "Why should we give a shit about them when they didnt gave a shit about us?"). But this sounds more like an angry rant rather than an explanation.

Jungian Archetype also speaks about it somewhat. I have to refresh my Psychology books before I can say solidly that Nietzsche was the first to correlate that nature might have the basing for the character of a deity.

I have read that the earliest of religions was based around the "sacred" and the "obscene". It was observed that earlier culture deemed something sacred and cults arose around it, protecting it from things which were "impure" and "obscene". These things became taboo. Breaking taboo was deemed punishable.

YHWH is a storm deity like his counterparts Adad Ba'al and Zeus and their original archetype, Ninurta.

Ninurta, while being a storm deity, was also a cruel hunter and a war deity. These archetypes were carried over as various iterations and thus they were cruel, not the other way around. You may say that storm was seen as something to be afraid of because of strong winds and thunder.

I'm no expert, but i think it's pretty bang on. After all, we were (still are ultimately) a part of nature. What else could we possibly have referred to so early in our history? Our earliest uses of symbolism in cave drawings and later, ornamentation of clothing, all relates to animals, plants, the weather, land marks, habitats, the sun, the stars, the moon, day, night, ect. These are the fundamentals, the baseline entities and concepts which represent the primitive human reality of the time. From here, our superior intelligence and imaginative abilities embellished the rest of the symbolism into narratives, as a means of solidifying and teaching, passing on in tradition, down the generations because it allowed us to feel connected to each other and our offspring. Pagan religions never set out to politicize and moralize life, that is a very very modern invention. This is why 'nature' instead, appears to be such an important theme in many of them, because that's what life is, that's what we are.

>>2431471

You are correct. My ancestors were very respectful towards nature and saw Nature as the nourisher, like a mother and the force driving her as the source, like a father. The mountains, the rivers, the forest, it was all seen and accepted as the forces that governed reality. The religion itself was never at the centre of politics and morality. In fact, religious reverence was the one time when community set aside the politics of hierarchy and ruling authority and just celebrate.

After the interaction with outer societies, the modern concept of what a religion should be, is very apparent. Religion is seen as a domain of supremacy and otherness and a means to control the society, completely denying what it actually means.

WE CURRENTLY DO NOT KNOW; IT IS UNCERTAIN HOW THEY WERE EVEN BUILT.

>>2447587
The experience of the common man is generally something that isn't well understood, since historically most people were illiterate.

>Imagine building something that you will not see finished. Neither your sons or your grandsons. This applies for kings and for peasants...why not hesiating?
