He introduced the idea of there are ticking time bomb, everyday people in our midst. No one suspected anything. Everyone thought he was just a loner guy.

This and Columbine were monumental in shaping this paradigm.

Extreme paraphilia with personality disorder. Is this the formula for evil?

Not Ted Bundy? Everyone thought Dahmer was a weirdo, and he was even kicked out of the army for it. Bundy was seen as a great guy with a bright successful future in front of him; he worked at a suicide hotline, went to law school, and was consider to be a potential future governor.

Put simply, he thought his position as counterbalance to the Iranians would mean that the U.S. wasn't really serious about their threats of attacking him if he invaded Kuwait.

So why not grab a tiny, oil-rich province?

I've wondered this too.

I think the answer is that he simply vastly under-estimated the USA's power projection. I mean, put yourself in his shoes. The USA is on the other side of the world, and you have the world's fifth largest military at your disposal. So it might be easy to think: "hey America has a huge powerful army but they'll never be able to actually get over here in time."

You also have to consider that desert storm was perhaps the first "modern" air war in the sense that this was the first time that "smart" weapons were used in large numbers. This makes bombing vastly more effective than way was ever possible in the past. However, nobody had really seen this before, so nobody really knew what to expect.

>How would Chinese legendary strategists do if they led European armies?

Badly, owing to lack of a common language.

> What if the Red Army was led by the Sleeping Dragon in WW2?

I imagine it would take more than the length of the conflict to bring him up to speed on things like modern communications, the closer relation of industry on war, the sheer level of control of the state over the war economy and home front that simply didn't exist in his time, etc.

War in East Asia and Europe was different cause of manpower and technologie.

>>1647758
>Chinese legendary strategists
Are they actually legendary for military accomplishments? From what little I know these figures are just famous for writing about philosophy with a military theme. Machiavelli was literally an armchair general, but his Art of War at least reads far more practically than any of the Heaven's Gate/Earth Gate bullshit that comes out of the East.

What problem?

the french are a JOKE

Philip IV "the fair", destroyed the Knights Templar, because he didn't want to pay his debts. Dooming the Crusades to failure.

French kings were actually French, and ruled France with absolute power continuously for over 800 years, all in direct legitimate descent of the same dynasty.

Meanwhile English kings were French, Germany, Dutch, Danish, Scottish, anything but English basically, dynasties got overthrown and replaced left and right, and they themselves were cucked by the French aristocracy that has ruled England for the past millennium.

Any legitimate claim to the title of Rome the Catholic church could have was relinquished with the Great Schism, with the Orthodox Patriarch remaining loyal to to the Caesars while the Pope began to exercise greater power through the Papal States and the HRE.

The original agreement between the Church and Rome was known as caesaropapism, Caesar Over Pope. In which the Emperor held more authority in church matters other than pope. The Pope Vigilius agreed to this in 538, reuniting the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church 60 years after the fall of Rome.

The Great Schism of 1054 was a complete break of this agreement between the Pope and Rome, and rhetoric began to escalate that the Empire in Constantinople was no longer Rome at all, but rather Rome would be the HRE, the state and military that the Pope indirectly controlled, rather than Constantinople indirectly controlling the Pope.

In the end, the Catholic Church severed ties with the Roman Empire in a power play to take control of land for themselves, rather than being controlled by the Empire as was always practiced during the days of the Western Roman Empire and the Byzantine Papacy.

This isn't true. The church in the West was always more independent than the one on the East. Ambrose could stand up to emperor Theodosius and get away with it, while Eastern patriarchs who tried similar thing ended up locked in monasteries.

After Longobardic invasion, Rome was practically beyond Empire's reach and was basically independent. It was Rome that led the opposition against Iconoclasm.

Even then the masses will ignore or denigrate you, ideologues will seek to contradict or silence you, and the powers that be will either use you to further their schemes or politically punish you.

Realize the distinction between reading on a subject and reading its wikipedia article/cliffnotes.

Realize that quoting names like Plato when it isn't appropriate to the discussion doesn't magically make you smart.
