Basically everything except Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and our shenanigans in the Caribbean/Central America

I personally think Vietnam was only half un-justified (by that I mean the general motive, NOT Tonkin; that in itself was bullshit). Iraq was our single biggest bullshit move and I believe the world has been made shittier because of it

Yeah but are there any books about them? Most Vietnam books seem to be the accounts of ex marines who have PTSD.

Maybe after Putin dies, assuming there are any republican institutions left.

why should they be back to feudalism? communism is part of their historical experience as a nation

Russia has been fucked up beyond repairer since Ivan the Terrible.
His actions are comparable to the French close to completely destroying Paris then declaring some peasant shithole to be France's new capital.

this triggers the snownigger

Daily reminder that the principate was a grotesque degeneration of the glory that was the republic.

It's just retarded. I'll steal David Deutsch's line here because he's a lot smarter than me.

Science is a manifestation of reason. Religious "faith" is explicitly a product of non-reason. Religion usually makes claims about the world that conflict with science.

John Worrall’s polemic about science discrediting religion is useful for demonstrating the
inconsistency of NOMA, due to his insistence that religion and science are not separate and in
irreconcilable conflict. Worrall argues that religion must make some descriptive claims about the
universe, i.e. “there is a loving creator”, and these can be about as general as one can imagine to
encompass all forms of religious thought. 11 Thus he is not just building a straw man of religion,
he is attacking a fundamental aspect of it. To make his point he quotes Barbour on the subject:
"Religious faith is not simply assent to the truth of propositions; but it does require the
assumption that certain propositions are true. It would be unreasonable to adopt or
recommend a way of life unless one believes that the universe is of such a character that
this way of life is appropriate." 12

If descriptive claims are necessary for religion then believers must ignore the basic evidential
requirements for knowledge proscribed by science for such claims. Ignoring the concept of
“faith” for a moment, let us hold religion to the same standards of science, by doing so we realize
that religions explanations of the universe fail just as quickly as science’s; due to lack of
evidence and the question of “Why?” Worrall attacks religion and NOMA by arguing that to
hold religion to a different standard (allowing for faith) would be unacceptably relativistic. 13 This
is a rather obtuse way of proclaiming all faith based religious should be thought to be devoid of reason.
While inflammatory, this is not an unjustified position. Religion eschews evidence, despite
arguing with the authority of a position that holds certain descriptive claims to be true. Thus
religious explanations for the universe are illusory when considered with the same logical
scrutiny as science’s explanations.

This poster is an idiot that doesn't know what he's talking about.

Science is the study of the natural world.

Religion is about the origin of the natural world, it goes beyond.

They are not mutually exclusive.

What war crime?
Russia breaking the treaty? Napoleon invading Russia?
Neither of those qualify has "war crime", justified or not

The only war crime during that war was the destruction of Russian cities and farms by the Russian army which caused the death of hundreds thousands of Russian civilians by starvation

>Or what kind of questions I could ask macdonald to get him to admit that Napoleons invasion of Russia was justified?

Remind them that the Napoleonic Wars were started by Britain (when they broke the Peace of Amiens in 1803)

Remind them that it's Britain that kept the wars alive by funding coalitions to launch wars of aggression against France (3rd, 4th and 5th coalitions)

Remind them that Britain was thus a threat to the existance of the French state and that Britain had to be dealt with for peace to be possible in Europe

Remind them that, given that France had no decent fleet, the only thing they could do against Britain was the Continental Blockade

Remind them that, by leaving that blockade and actively distrubing it, Russia was preventing France from possibly achieving a stable European Peace and made themselves a threat to the French state (thus making the invasion justified)

>>2043532

It confuses me too. I'm mostly look on how to relate why the invasion of Russia was justified to Jacques MacDonald through questioning.

It was either that, English, or Yiddish, and they weren't too happy with England and Germany at the time.

>>2044232
Herzl, the father of Zionism, thought they would use German and Yiddish. Though he was Austrian, so you would see why he would think that.

English was never in the running as the language of Israel. Before the revival of Hebrew, the movement was leaning towards Yiddish/German. French also had a very important place in Zionism because the wealthiest Jewish families were French, and the French Empire used Jews as magistrates over the Muslims.

basque and catalan
not that they ever totally disappeared but were forbidden under Franco

All they did was fight the Japs a little and then become communist

Not much to talk about tbqh

>>2043207
In strategic terms it was a holding action on a continental scale but the real strategic initiative was held by the US in the Pacific Ocean.

If China had been given 30 years to industrialize under a strongman before Japan embarked on the 2nd sino japanese war things MAY have been a little different, but I'm not confident in this. Russia even under imperial rule was beginning to industrialize; China was literally a pre industrial society for the most part until the 50s

>Why are Eastern Religions so much more profound and useful than Western ones?

If you study western religions beyond Sunday school level discourse you'd find that's not the case.

Asians are more logical on average

One factor was against Christian iconography and perceived decadence. Less of a foreign plot and more of a home-grown kneejerk reaction.
