Do you believe that executing criminals counst as a sacrifice to the State?

>>1806097
But this was not done for the state, it was done for the church and our lord savior Jesus Christ.

I assume it's because he wasn't in a position of power. Zeus worship was as much because he could fuck their shit up as it was actually liking him.

Ok. Do you know anything about the legitimacy of these stories, I've seen quite a few.

In some they say he simply gave man fire. In others he gave man fire and the ability to work metal. And in others still he gave man all of this but also actually created man with the help of Athena.

I've also read some stories in which he created two "human-like" creatures who threw stones over their shoulders. These stones becoming men and women. But wouldn't that conflict with the pandora story?

Why didn't the ancient Hebrews worship the fallen angels that have them medicine, metal-working and civilization, but Yahweh the evil god that punished them for it? Really stimulates your almonds.

Imagine being a young man during the French Revolution
Having an ebin life like this madman

>On 10 March 1791, he enlisted in the Bourbon Regiment, where his reputation as an expert fencer was confirmed. According to Vidocq, within six months, he challenged fifteen people to a duel and killed two. Despite not being a model soldier and causing difficulties, he spent only a total of fourteen days in jail. During those two weeks, Vidocq helped a fellow inmate successfully escape.

>When France declared war against Austria on 20 April 1792, Vidocq participated in the battles of the First Coalition, including the Battle of Valmy in September 1792. On 1 November 1792, he was promoted to corporal of grenadiers, but during his promotion ceremony, he challenged a fellow non-commissioned officer to a duel. This sergeant major refused the duel, so Vidocq hit him. Striking a superior officer could have led to a death sentence, so he deserted and enlisted in the 11th Chasseurs, concealing his history. On 6 November 1792, he fought under General Dumouriez in the Battle of Jemappes.

>In April 1793, Vidocq was identified as a deserter. He followed a general, who was fleeing after a failed martial coup, into the enemy camp. After a few weeks, Vidocq returned to the French camp. A chasseur-captain friend interceded for him, so he was allowed to rejoin the chasseurs. Finally, he resigned from the army because he was no longer welcome.

>He was eighteen years old when he returned to Arras. He soon gained a reputation as a womanizer. Since his seductions often ended in duels, he was imprisoned in Baudets from 9 January 1794 to 21 January 1795.

>On 8 August 1794, when he was barely nineteen, Vidocq married Anne Marie Louise Chevalier, who was five days his senior, after she had feigned pregnancy. The marriage was not happy from the start, and when Vidocq learned that his wife had cheated on him with the adjutant, Pierre Laurent Vallain, he left again for the army.

>>1806360
>Vidocq did not stay long in the army. In autumn 1794, he spent most of his time in Brussels, which was then a hideout for crooks of all kinds.

>In 1795, he joined – still under the alias of Rousseau – the armée roulante ("flying army"). This army consisted of "officers" who in reality had neither commissions nor regiments. They were raiders, forging routes, ranks and uniforms but staying away from the battlefields. Vidocq began as a lieutenant of chasseurs but soon promoted himself to a hussar captain. In this role, he met a rich widow in Brussels[N 4] who became enamored of him. A co-conspirator of Vidocq's convinced her that Vidocq was a young nobleman on the run because of the French Revolution. Shortly before their wedding, Vidocq confessed to her. Then he left the city, but not without a generous cash gift from her.

>In March 1795, Vidocq moved to Paris, where he squandered all his money on loose women. He went back north and joined a group of Bohemian gypsies, which he later left for a woman he had fallen in love with, Francine Longuet. When Francine cheated on him with a soldier, he beat both of them. The soldier sued him, and in September 1795, Vidocq was sentenced to three months in the prison Tour Saint-Pierre in Lille.

>In the following weeks, Vidocq escaped several times with the help of Francine, but was always captured soon again. After one of his escapes, Francine caught him with another woman. He hid from her, and when he was finally picked up again by police, he learned that Francine had been found with multiple knife wounds. Suddenly, he was not only accused of forgery but also attempted murder. It took some time before Francine conceded that the wounds were self-inflicted and the charge was dropped. Vidocq's contact with Francine stopped when she was convicted and sentenced to six months in prison for aiding the escapes.

My great grandfather fought during both Winter War and Continuation War.
He didn't really talk about it, but during the wars he wrote daily in a diary.
It's mostly accounts like "6 men fell today, Russkies stopped bombing us for now." He also drew pictures in there.
The war (Winter War) itself was mostly trench warfare with more modern equipment.
Look up Mannerheim-line, it was Finland's main defence against Soviets.
Also, most of the soldiers sent here were poorly trained/equipped and not from Russia itself.
During Continuation War, Soviets mostly focused on fighting against Germany so Finland got pretty lucky in that regard. Also, Stalin had killed off lots of high ranking military officers before the war, so their tactics were lacking.
If you want some freaky stuff, google about cannibalism during the Winter War.
Some Soviet units were sent behind lines with poor rations and they ended up killing their comrades to not starve.

That's not the proper proportions or color of our flag. Incidentally that's what it should be imo. Our flag looks really lackluster and weak because of the fat cross and the blue not being deep enough.

>The Mongols now entered the town [of Merv] and drove all the inhabitants, nobles and commoners, out on to the plain. For four days and nights the people continued to come out of the town; the Mongols detained them all, separating the women from the men. Alas! how many peri-like ones did they drag from the bosoms of their husbands. How many sisters did they separate from their brothers. How many parents were distraught at the ravishment of their virgin daughters.
>The Mongols ordered that, apart from four hundred artisans whom they specified and selected from amongst the men and some children, girls and boys, whom they bore off into captivity, the whole population, including the women and children, should be killed, and no one, whether woman or man, be spared. The people of Merv were then distributed among the soldiers and levies and, in short, to each man was allotted the execution of three or four hundred persons. The people of Sarakhs in avenging their cadi exceeded [the ferocity of] such as had no knowledge of Islam or religion and passed all bounds in the abasement and humiliation [of their fellow Moslems]. So many had been killed by nightfall that the mountains became hillocks [compared to the piles of dead], and the plain was soaked with the blood of the mighty.

>When the army departed, those that had sought refuge in holes and cavities came out again, and there were gathered together some five thousand persons. A party of Mongols belonging to the rearguard then arrived and wished to have share of slaughter. They commanded therefore that each person should bring a skirtful of grain out on to the plain for the Mongols; and in this way they cast into the well of annihilation most of those that had previously escaped. Then they proceeded along the road to Nishapur and slew all they found of those who had turned back from the plain and fled from the Mongols when halfway out to meet them. In this manner many persons lost their lives, and hereafter Taisi, who had turned back from Yeme Noyan's army, arrived in Merv; he too laid balm on their wounds, and all that the Mongols found there were drawn out of the noose of life and caused to drink the draught of annihilation.
>By God we live in violent times: if we saw them in a dream we should be terrified. The people are in such a plight that he who has died deserves to rejoice.

it's your average lack of understanding that phonology and phonetics do not equate with written forms.

this kind of assertion is especially stupid when speaking about modern english, the greatest clusterfuck of arbitrariness in writing of all written languages.

>>1805780
It's just English.

develop tank exclusive units
start building maginot line earlier
more tank shit in general
faster tanks

realize that the germans could come through the Ardennes, and act accordingly. maybe get a better tank doctrine. that's really it, they could have survived easily with just a few changes. they just got really unlucky that Hitler listened to Manstein and not most of the German general staff

By bombing the german army as it made its way slowly through the Ardennes.

Or so I read here.

Trying to hold the west bank of the rhine might have been a good idea too.

It's a roman coin shows Agrippa, show us the backside for further information. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/agrippina_I/i.html
It is not worth that much, as there are lots of coins from the time, plus if you do not happen a certificate of origin and a receipt you have something that is worth thousands of $$$ in legal fees and fines.

nope, Aghrippina, daughter of Agrippa, wife of Germanicus, sister-in-law of Claudius. Died 33 AD.

If I had to guess I would say nukes or similarly destructive weapons. It is stated that military research is going on, but almost nothing gets implemented. Emphasis on almost. It is also said that war hysteria is very high among the leadership. Eventually one side would develop and implement some wmd which would upset the balance of power and start ti erode the system.

>>1805243
It's highly likely that the three powers were in cahoots with each other, and that any attempt to develop a nuke by one side would be supressed by its own heirachy. They rely on perpetual warfare as a way of life, anything that might lead to victory would have to be averted at all costs with its inventors liquidized.
