What if the Soviet Union joined the Axis?

>soviet
>a communist party joining a party which despised communism
That's the equivalent of a black man making an alliance with the KKK, or a lion making an alliance with a gazelle
this isnt a historical question
>Palestine didn't exist before Israel
When will this meme fucking die?
Palestine is where the "Philistines" came from, right?
>>1895812
Nice strawman. The real argument is that Palestinians didn't exist before balfour.

Arabs immigrated there after jewish settlers built up the region and introduced modern agriculture, turning uninhabited land into cities over decades
If he had fought in the Eastern theater and given his proposal to arm the slaves in exchange for their freedom, would Lee have vouched for him? Lee only got wind of his proposal by the time it was too late and he approved it then.
>>1895686
The idea that slaves would actually fight for the confederacy seems hopelessly delusional.
>>1895708
They were fighting on one side for their freedom, why not the other?

>Option 1: I can wait until the Union army gets to the planation and then they'll free me.
>Option 2: If I don't want to wait that long, I can try to run away now, knowing that the Union won't ever try to send me back.
>Option 3: Or I could join the Confederate Army, which is already badly losing the war, and thus get killed before achieving freedom while fighting for people who were enslaving me to begin with and fighting against people who were trying to free me.
Serious thread, can Romania restore the roman empire?
Only America can restore Rome

They aren't technically Romans, also Codreanu was the best right wing leader in the last century.
Was Austria-Hungary the most benevolent European empire to its subjects?
Nope, the Holy Roman one was

Still miles better than modern "whitewashed histography" made up by liberals and white people.

/his/, help us out on dance appreciation. I can tell that it's an art form but how does it express anything? It seems to have lost more from modernism than even painting or architecture, and even though ballet has survived that's farther from the comprehension of a pleb like me than opera.
Is social dancing, like actual dancing and not unrehearsed bumping and grinding, even active socially anywhere? It seems like it ought to be a true citizens' art form, but it seems to have been inundated with b urself lol boob-wiggling.
Dancefags are insufferable. You're better off avoiding the medium.

what kind of substantiative criticism is this meant to be?
I honestly believe that most Christians don't actually believe in hell. Churches keep that doctrine in place because it's a good tool to convert people who don't really think about stuff but I think deep down even the clergy thinks that the classic idea of hell (unless you believe in Jesus exactly the way we do, you will burn forever) is bullshit.
Think about hard drugs: governments ban them and have programs to keep people away from them because we realize that they cause addiction and health problems, thus suffering. It's a moral thing for the government to take actions against them. Now, if you believe that not being a Christian causes going to hell, then that's an infinite times bigger issue then drugs. It's basically the biggest possible issue one can imagine: we are talking about millions of people marching towards a fate where they will suffer horribly for eternity because they believe in other religions or don't believe at all.
If they truly believed this is true, the only logical thing a Christian could work for is the eradication of all other faiths and atheism by any means. Saving millions from eternal torment objectively worth almost any price. (cont.)
>>1892038
(cont.)
The goal of Christian churches should be thus to gain control of states and create theocracies: ban every other religious teaching and the denying of their faith and make schools centers for religious indoctrination to ensure that only a minimal number of people won't be saved.
Instead what they do? They meekly try to convert individuals, talk about respecting other religions (what the fuck, how can you respect Islam or Buddhism as a Christian if you believe that they literally lead people to hell?), voice their opinion in comperatively inconsequential social issues etc. They don't even act at all as if they understood the gravity of the situation.
Because of that I'm certain that most Christians don't believe in the official doctrine, instead they personally believe in some alternative interpretation of hell: that it's not permanent, that nobody really goes there, or only the most immoral people go there etc.
>>1892038
> Saving millions from eternal torment objectively worth almost any price.
Christianity is not utilitarian, anon. :^)
>>1892045
So what you are saying is that Christians cannot enforce Christianity without breaking their own rules (don't kill and such)? That's kind of a shaky territory, in Protestantism, you can get away with murder as long as you repent and still accept Jesus.
Also, I think you could enforce Christianity without committing too many sins. Freedom of speech and freedom of religion are not Christian values. The Bible doesn't deal with creating laws that ban certain books and ideas and having them enforced (unless of course they are against the faith itself, the Old Testament is full of stories like this), so it looks like you can get away with it.
What are the differences between, and gists of, anglicanism, calvinism, and lutheranism?
>>1891691
They pave the road to hell with slightly different material.
>>1891691
Lutheranism: muh sola scriptura but first let me delete some books from the bible i don't like
Calvinism: there is no free will, everything is predetermined. If god didn't count you among the elected at the beginning of time, you're going to hell and there is nothing you can do about
Anglicanism: ayyo senpai i wanna fuck dis pussy gib divorce pls
>>1891691
Anglicanism in its original form was just Catholicism with a different coat of paint. Henry VIII needed that divorce since Catherine was an utter failure at having children.
Calvinism has something to do with predestination from what I recall.
Can't help you with Lutheranism.
How did the strategists and tacticians of the past train to become strategists and tacticians? In the past, there were no Strategy Videogames, or simulation of any sort, so they had to rely on books about military warfare and maybe some basic boardgames? How a general from an Academy was born?
>>1895705
>so they had to rely on books about military warfare and maybe some basic boardgames?
that's why the strategists and tacticians of today do it.
>>1895774
If that was actually the case, which boardgames did they play to learn things about strategy? Or which activities did students partake in to learn strategy?
Broadly asking, How did you get to know how to become a strategist? Without simulations of any sort, how did you get to know about battlefield tactics, logistics and such with efficiency?
>>1895705
Please be trolling.
Same way that they always have, they went to exclusive schools and studied under experienced people. Some even *gasp* saw the battle fields first hand and participated in the fighting before coming to power.
>please please be trolling
Sorry if you guys have heard this question many times before, but do you think that the Axis Powers could have won WW2 if Stalingrad hadn't went the way it did?
I don't know
>>1900374
this guys retarded, wished he used a trip so I could filter it
>>1900335
The war was lost when Germany didn't win by 42' like they planned
They couldn't push past the 50 mile barrier from Moscow for years,it was bloody and it was hell, and could've went on for another year or two without ever reaching Moscow
>>1900335
I think they had a real chance at winning if Stalingrad wasn't such a massive failure
It still would've been extremely bloody and brutal, however
Do Pentecostals represent legit Christian expression or are they heretics, /his/?
>>1896622
They aren't even Christians so they aren't heretics. They are on the same level as Mormons or Jehovah's witnesses.
To not believe in the Trinity is to not be Christian.
>>1896622
These are the guys that drink snake venom, spin in circles, and speak in tongues right?

Come the fuck on Tyrone, even our heretics were based
I was bored so I started watching this "documentary" on YouTube about naval battles in the pacific, and right now in this video, multiple Japanese heavy cruisers and battleships are getting rekted by American patrol boats. It's like they're not even trying to win. They just keep missing over and over again whereas the American ships always hit every time. How is this possible? It seems extremely unrealistic in my opinion.

If that image is supposed to convey a message, it is completely lost on me. Why is one of the christian cannoneers firing on his own castle?
The secularist geld themselves by negating family formation meaning they will undertake themselves by not reproducing.

Orthodoxy firing the wrong way, Protestantism friendly fire, Coptic church sleeping.
