>iraqi army is smaller and less motivated but has better training and equipment
>iranian army is huge, well motivated but lacks equipment and training

It went wrong when the Iraqis didn't knock Iran out swift enough. In time the Iranians could build experience and cohesion, nullifying the Iraqi advantage in training.

In that conflict specifically or in general? If it's the former it was doomed from the start as Saddam underestimated the Iranians ability to pull together and end their post revolution infighting to defend the nation, and overestimated the abilities of his troops.

If you're asking about the country that was doomed from the start too. Putting a whole bunch of ethnic groups that hate each other into one country has never worked well, just look at Africa.

really makes you think

My goal is to finally get a gf and be a millionaire.

I'm working on my business, but I don't know where to start in order to attract a mate, I don't even have any friends.

The way I see it, there are two kinds of people, those that go with the flow, follow the structures and rules others have built around them - or those that hate being bound by others. I mean no disrespect, society needs stable, dependable followers, but it's just anathema to me. I'd much rather impose my will on others than have them impose their will on me. The only way to do this is to accumulate capital.

They say making your first million is the hardest and boy are they fucking right. I've failed uni, failed my first business, but the second business is showing promise. If I can just stay sane long enough while I improve the product and get more customers, I'm sure it will be a success. Unfortunately I feel my sanity slowly but surely deteriorating. If I just had a gf, I would be beyond happy and have a much sounder mind.

I'm a 26 y/o kissless virgin, so it's quite obvious why I'd want a gf. You could say why don't you just go to a prostitute, but I still have my pride - I want my first time to be with someone who wants me for me, not my money. It's funny looking back, but earlier this year, on my birthday in fact, I was so desperate I approached a girl for the first time in my life. It was at a train station, I noticed her for a few days, she was really beautiful in a bookish way. So as she was walking past me, I tried to get her attention and say "hi", she obviously noticed since she stiffened up a little and continued walking while I said "hey" again. It was obviously crushing for me, but I feel sorry for that poor girl now - I'm pretty tall and somewhat intimidating looking so she must have been terrified.

I'd much rather be dead at this point, the only thing keeping me going is the faint hope that the business may be a success and then I'll finally be able to get a gf.

Because I'd rather wait for the moment I finally have enough balls to jump off a bridge

No. Things were good in England, at least compared to in the Wiemar.

>>1788948
its shit

Who is this Omegon cunt then?

>>1788878
Compared to what?

Inequality will exist no matter what. You realistically cannot remove everything that makes us different and unequal.

You need to ask some questions.
Are people motivated by self interest?
Why should people be equal?
How much is equal enough?
Do humans fall victim to the vices of power, honor, pleasure and greed?
What are you willing to do to make things equal?

>it's another total and complete equality is impossible therefore we should accept one man having a higher networth than a billion poor people combined as just another fact of life thread

>Surely, if cleaners, nurses, taxi drivers, etc... were all millionaires no one would want to do those jobs and so society would fall apart.

1. Nurses get paid a shit ton in the US and most Western countries, don't know where you live.

2. Not everyone has the aptitude to be an electrical engineer or a surgeon or a CPA or a lawyer or a CEO.

3. Too much inequality creates resentment, which can lead to political and social instability in the long run.

>greatest spook of all time

Woman?

You are half-breed mongrels even Turks look down on, Arnes.
Now go and migrate to another neighbouring nation and compete with the local gypsies for the first place of "scumbags of Europe".

yeah sure, why not Séamus

board has gone beyond shit so we might aswell acknowledge the military genius of Irish people

this was a major cause for secularization in Latin America, the parish priest would know everything about you because your wife "confessed"

>>1788464

That, and to cement the infantilisation of the faithful.That whole "father" and "child" dynamic is not a healthy one for two adults.

It's literally just proto clinical psychology.

IT,

Not that much. You fought in huge formations. All you had to do was stay in formation. Keep your weapon and shield up. Poke and slash at anyone that got close.

If it turned into a rout. Then it was more a matter of cardio. You needed to retreat to the forest before their cavalry chopped you up.

individual fighting skill really didn't matter until after ww1. Where soldiers fought in loose formations.

>>1788336
The Swiss managed to win pretty much every single battle, normally highly outnumbered, mostly due to superior discipline and fighting prowess. They steamrolled most of Europe's major forces of the time for two centuries until guns and artillery beat them.

>>1788458

The swiss were top dogs for 70 years at a most. Not 200. Also, they fought as pikemen in formation so thus their individual fighting prowess mattered much less than their collective fighting prowess - as is always the case.
