Who would win in a battle between men who train for war since childhood and a bunch of twinks who train for 2 hours every sunday before they go to local gay bar?

Whoever has more numbers and resources.
>>1983181
Jews
what the fuck was their problem?
They just wanted to stop Christian barbarians from destroying Al-Andalusia, the most advanced and sophisticated culture in the world at the time.
>>1983184
They actually attacked the andalusians (and almost everyone else they conquered, basically) because they believed them to be degenerate and bad muslims. They were medieval ISIS.
>>1983171
They were mad that they were named after fucking Pillows
Is it possible? Is there any way that Russia and Germany could have a figurehead monarchy like the UK again?
idk much about royalty successions rights but I´ve read in the case of Russia the aspirant to the throne would be some english noble, so it would be quite retarded

If the stupid left & right politics keeps up, people would probably start wondering if bringing back Kangz n shiet would be far better since Monarchical Dynasties did their job better as arbiters of the political debate and being more impartial than stupid elected executive offices.
>>1983132
Too bad, people literally believed in meme beliefs that Kangz sit on thrones and people do whatever they want.
When in reality that sort of rule was never true in the great monarchies of the world. Even Chinks had to deal with debates in their ministries.
Why were the gods so powerless to do anything to Gilgamesh? He beats up Enkidu and makes him his bro, he slaughters their sacred bull, and even scares the goddess Ishtar away by throwing the dismembered pieces of her own bull at her.
Because he was some Mesopotamian's OC donut steel
Because he was a badass motherfucker.
He could lift the things. He could build the things. He knew all the secret things.
The only thing that can stop a man like that is himself.
even in 4000 BC Sumeria people knew gods were metaphorical bullshit constructs with no basis in reality
There are a lot of threads up right now about churches, denominations, and obvious bait memes, so this thread is for anyone who wants to actually talk about ideas legitimately memes and denominations aside.
>"I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves."
The wolves are many, they are working hard to make jokes our of Christian teachings, they also work hard to pose as Christian teachings. A sheep among wolves is just a metaphor, the peaceful ones are sent out against ravenous people. To be as wise as a snake, you need to have all the wisdom you can attain, but to be as innocent as a dove means instead of arguing all day with other "Christians" who is right and who is wrong, "be like a child" or "like a dove" innocent to all of the political and religious debates and show that you apply the teachings in your life.

>So make up your mind not to worry beforehand how to defend yourselves.
I think a lot of us have a bunch of scripture quotes at our disposal to use it to persecute anyone, and this is like a pre-meditated thing. I mean of course, it will make sense sometimes, but it is like instead of sharing ideas, people started to use scripture quotes to say "I'm right you are wrong its in the Bible"
>15For I will give you speech and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.
Christian thought is meant to attain and work with this wisdom that cannot be contradicted, rather than the contradictions that is disguised as wisdom

>The wolves are many, they are working hard to make jokes our of Christian teachings
The figures on the wheel are darker than the wheel itself; in fact, they are stains upon the purity of the wheel, and for that reason, and because of the whirling of the wheel, I cannot see them. But at the top seems to be the Lamb and Flag, such as one sees on some Christian medals, and one of the lower things is a wolf, and the other a raven. The Lamb and Flag symbol is much brighter than the other two. It keeps on growing brighter, until now it is brighter than the wheel itself, and occupies more space than it did.
It speaks: I am the greatest of the deceivers, for my purity and innocence shall seduce the pure and innocent, who but for me should come to the centre of the wheel. The wolf betrayeth only the greedy and the treacherous; the raven betrayeth only the melancholy and the dishonest. But I am he of whom it is written: He shall deceive the very elect.

>The first time I was brought before the judge, no one came with me. Everyone abandoned me. May it not be counted against them.
>"NO, NO BRUTUS DON'T KILL ME PLEASE, HAVE MERCY PLEASE BRUTUS I BEG OF YOU, HAVE YOU NO MERCY? PLEASE BRUTUS I'LL DO ANYTHING! ANYTHING PLEAS BRUTUS DON'T DO THIS BRUTUS! YOU CAN'T DO THS BRUTUS! THINK ABOUT IT OPTIMUS! PLEASE BRUTUS! I DIDN'T WANT THINGS TO TURN OUT THIS WAY! OH GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! PLEASE HAVE MERCY DON'T POINT AT ME PLEASE BRUTUS PLEASEEEEEE"
What did Cesar mean by this?

BRUTUS NO

As far as we know, he might as well have bargained for his life like a pussy.
Friendly reminder that you're not free.
>Most of life is toiling to afford to keep living. Very few people are truly free from this cycle of slavery.
>Those that are live a life, with a state of mind, that you truly cannot comprehend until you are there, which you never will be.
So they can do whatever they want. You've got bills to pay.
>>1982178
>Most of life is toiling to afford to keep living. Very few people are truly free from this cycle of slavery.
Wrong.
>>1982185
For example, you need to keep making up reasons not to kill yourself.
>you will never be landed gentry
What would happen
if Stalin had got killed in the civil war or something similar and lenin only died in the the late 30's or early 40
What would this have afected the course of history?
Lenin was a cuck and so are you.
>>1982168
>if Stalin had got killed in the civil war
literally how?
Why did the Israeli's knowingly attack the USS Liberty and why was it swept under the rug by both governments?
>>1981903
>Why did the Israeli's knowingly attack the USS Liberty
A common theory is they were attempting to recreate a Gulf of Tonkin incident where the US was false flagged into war with Egypt
>why was it swept under the rug by both governments?
Money and power
If the jews are so smart and conniving, how come we know about this?
Really makes you think.
>>1981903
>Why did the Israeli's knowingly attack the USS Liberty
They aren't our allies
>why was it swept under the rug by both governments?
Who do you think literally owns the media
There year is 1938. The United States declares themselves neutral and isolationist in regards to foreign affairs.
How does the second world war play out?
>>1981672
>The United States declares themselves neutral and isolationist in regards to foreign affairs.
Exactly the same
Hitler still invades Poland and Japan still wrecks the Pearl Harbor
Western europe becomes commie.
How was it pronounced?

>My vote anyone in MACV-SOG
>>1980885
I would like to say the Red army. Just based on the fact that while the Americans would return to a economical and prosperous intact country. The Communist armies would return home to a ruined country 9 more years of Stalin.
>>1980919
I dont think the average soldier can compare to some of the more elite troops.
What went wrong?
Islam, then indigenous nationalism
Siding with the imperialistic Hun.

decadent rulers and corrupt viziers

Why did Reconstruction fail to improve the South?
>>1979906
Because it didn't solve the South's biggest problem: the presence of the blacks.
>>1979906
Where do you think the term 'it all went south' comes from?
>>1979906
Because the south didn't want to improve mostly.
Why South East Asia was never as important as India or China?
>>1978983
Fuck ton of Islands are annoying to colonise.
They did well for themselves mind you.
>>1978986
What about the non-island part of south east asia?
>>1978983
Landlocked.
India was connected to China, SEA, Africa, Mideast, etc
China was same, except without Africa/Mideast, but with Steppes
SEA thus remained under the influence of India/China
