What if we never bought Alaska from Russia?
The cold war would've gotten hot fast as fuck, or Alaska forms a republic during October revolution
>>2239489
The Russians would probably sell it to the British and it would be a part of Canada.

Why?
would you want a Team of Navy Seals or a Team of Philosophers with you
a team of philosophers might yeilder a greater overall intellect
What can they do? What are their abilities?
>>2239464
are you implying navy seals have the same ability as philosophers?
>>2239451
Not the fucking SEALS.
They are literally Marines on sanctioned steroids and blow. They'd kill you and then cover it up as a tragic accident when they are rescued.
Does the theory of multiple intelligences devalue true intelligence?
Is it basically a participation award?
it is the PC alternative to models for intelligence based around the g-factor such as IQ.
>>2239384
Are you talking about concepts like EQ (Emotional Quotient)? Also, why is "Interpersonal Intelligence" called "Self Smart" while it's about other people?
>>2239426
That's "Intrapersonal"

>Russians send a division of their best air defense pilots to Egypt to free up Egyptian aircraft for combat
>Eventually the Israelis bait 24 MiGs into attacking 16 Israeli jets
>In the course of a 3 minute long battle the Russians loose 5 aircraft and 4 pilots KIA, including the squadron commander, for one Israeli jet damaged
>"The Egyptians themselves reacted with ill-concealed delight at the outcome of the engagement. They had previously suffered intense criticism of their own performance and boasts of superior Soviet skills, when in fact the Soviets had fallen for tactics the Egyptians were already familiar with."

In a thread I was reading recently some guy was making the claim that immediately after WWII ended, angry slavs and jews rounded up former german soldiers, killed some, and put others in concentration camps for revenge. Was this guy talking out of his ass or did this really happen? And if it did, is there a book on it I could buy?
It happened in Germany, but this was the US putting Jews in charge of disarmed German POWs and Jews like Morganthau even threw ordinary Germans out of their homes and stuck Jews in there. Both Patton and Truman comment on how awful they found this in their diary.
If you want an example of a truly blood thirsty Jew who tortured/beat to death over 300 SS men, see the book "An Eye for An Eye" about the Jew Solomon Morrelll. I believe the author is the jew John Sagat.
Generally all throughout Europe people seen as Nazi collaborators were tarred and feathered, tortured, lynched or worse. In France women who fucked nazis were stripped and had their heads shaved in the streets of Paris.
The revenge against the Nazis was very harsh and violent in the East and the West
>>2239142
This was really only done by communists when the cameras were on. The average Parisian in many cases preferred the German army to the US. One of the Few readable books Beevor has ever written is on Paris during this time. His book isn't useful so much as his end notes to follow them and get first hand accounts.
In their true form, communists were very mousy when they had someone around who would kick their teeth in. As soon as they felt protected, the communists came out and looked for females to take out their hatred on.
How has your study of history helped you to appreciate the low value of human life?

For example, most people will talk about how terrible Timur and kids were to Persia and India but I'll just see it as them getting KHAN'D or JUST'd.
Is this the best historical rivalry?
more like Poland is the worst buffer state
The best historical rivalry is the workers vs. the bourgeoisie

You dumb fuck. I'm trying to prove that he did commit atrocities, not that he didn't.

It's not about your position you tremendous retard. It's that you've come over to /his/ from some shitty thread on /pol/ or /int/ just to make a terrible thread that boils down to being a lazy stupid faggot wanting other people to do your google searches for you for the sole purpose of 'winning' some asinine internet argument that is undoubtedly a complete & utter waste of time for everyone involved.
