If they were planning on war with both France and Russia,why didn't they focus on Russia first instead of trying some YOLO Schliefen plan that was risky even on the planning board.
>Because it wouldn't stop the french
They stopped them IRL even when they were distracted.

They did fortify the area and go all out against POLAND.
They didn't go all out against the Russkies because they were allied with the Soviets at the time.
>>
>>1369644
Because Germany thought Franxe would be a pushover like I'm 1870, and that Russia would be tough to invade and occupy like when Napoleon tried it.
The strategic misapprehension, that France was the weaker enemy and not Russia, underlies most of Germany's early war strategy.

Right in the middle of some random ass primitive tribe with nothing but a survival knife, your memories and all the immunizes you'll need to survive. Humans are basic hunter gather tribes with primitive tools and huts but the women are kinda evolved and bangable.
What do?

Probably get raped a whole bunch. Try to implement my survival knowledge from years of hiking and camping. Get raped some more. Try to use blonde hair and green eyes to some advantage, but being unable to speak the language I'll get raped even more. Try to learn to fit into the society, try to help them with my knowledge of fishing and trapping techniques, but by then I'll already be raped to death.
Does anyone have a link for acess to all of this guys podcast. Probably the best history podcast ive ever heard.

>And YHVH said to Abram, “Lech Lecha (go forth, but literally go to yourself) from your land and from your birthplace and from your father’s house, to the land that I will show you. (Genesis 12:1)
>All of this is intimated in the layered phrase that gives this week’s Torah portion its name: Lech Lecha. Lech means “go”. Lecha means “to you” or “for you”. This phrase is difficult to translate, but we might say “Get thee out!” or “Get yourself going!” However, Lech lecha literally means “go to yourself”. The journey of Abraham and Sarah is a spiritual journey, an inward quest for a new way of seeing the world, a journey of perception. As our spiritual father and mother, Abraham and Sarah bequeath to us a sublime idea: that all of reality is informed by a unifying Presence, and that Presence is calling us to greater purpose and awareness. Deeply aware of the ineffability of that presence, our tradition names it YHVH, Being Itself, or Life Unfolding. Each and every one of us is a unique expression of Life Unfolding, a Child of God, we might say, and God’s greatest desire, as it were, is that we know that truth. We are finite beings who sense the presence of the Infinite moving within us and all around us. That awareness calls us to fulfill our potential as expressions of infinite life. This calling turns out to be extremely difficult and elusive, and requires of us courage, tenacity, humility and faith. In the Jewish tradition, Abraham is our spiritual father because he perceives this truth, heeds the call and embarks on the journey.

Im curious to know more about Satanism. Ive read The Holy Bible ( New/Old Testament and King James Version. Also the Book of Mormon. Why do people convert to Satanism? It sounds good until you get to the end of the Satanic Bible and then it doesnt sound so good. Im very curious to know all i can learn from /his/ about this to be able to build my knowledge of religion in society. I figured this would be the best place to post this since so many of you are well read in religious text.

Why does the Wikipedia article on politics only talk about power, without mentioning right/authority? Isn't politics just as much about the right or authority to rule, as the power to rule? In fact, to me it would seem that politics is /especially/ about authority or right above power; it seems to me that the science which deals primarily with power is warfare.
The only right that the article talks about is the "divine right of kings", which it just glosses over as saying it is something that the French Revolution "put an end to", and the "right to property", but it more or less admits that the "right to property" is just something that the State invents and enforces with its power, i.e. power over authority, once again.
Doesn't this prove that modern politicians are essentially Machiavellians who believe that "might makes right", if the most popular page on politics essentially implies the same?

But OP politics is literally just about power and nothing else, "right/authority" is just used as a convenient excuse after said power is secured.

Or, rather, that modern political science rests upon that Machiavellian principle, that all right or authority proceeds from power.
>>1374552
That's precisely my question. Doesn't this show that modern political science rests upon Machiavellian premises?
Personally, no, I am not a Machiavellian. I prefer Aristotle. I think right/authority is something that exists separately from power. For example, a man has the right to property (not to have his property stolen) and a woman a right to dignity (not to be raped), even if the State does not even claim that they have these rights. I believe in the natural law as something existing prior to civil law, and which endows men with right or authority by nature.

"ISIS, or DAESH if you prefer, is a direct result of the almost boundless opportunities we have in our world today. Never before have so many of us been so free to choose our own future. And never before have we had so many tools available to reach our goals. We live longer and healthier lives and travel more than ever before. We have become a globalized society. Never before have we had such a large pool from which to draw our knowledge to solve problems, create solutions and earn money by selling our inventions or services. Developments in medicine, technology and literacy are at an all-time high, and keep growing. We have had the knowledge of powered flight a little more than 100 years and yet now we could easily go to Mars within 3 years if we all really wanted to. We are at this moment discovering gravitational waves, communicating freely across the globe and have started mass producing electric cars. If I wanted to, I could wake up in Berlin and go to bed in Jakarta within the same day. So, with all these rapid developments and with the future we are creating today, is it really such a surprise that along the way we will encounter such temporary things like ISIS?"
Not so sure about this, but what does /his/ think?

It seems from reading the Bible that God and Jesus only care about Jews. To make the Bibles words applicable to gentiles, Christians have to replace terms like "Israel" with "the church" and "my people" with "Christians". There is incredible mental gymnastics which must be undertaken for the bible to have any relevance to non-Jews.
Paul is the only apostle to the gentiles in the new Testament. While Jesus himself calls a gentile woman a "dog" (but is also ready to help a high ranking Roman centurion when his male child sex slave is sick). The crazy thing is the Jews hated Paul and tried to kill him, Paul was rejected by all the other Christian Jews at the time.
I still think Jesus Christ's words are amazing and like no others, he spoke the Truth which is extremely important. But I cannot deny the utter lack of interest that God and Jesus have for gentiles in the Bible yet he is worshipped by them in almost all major religions.

Yep, Jesus was jewish messianic figure, but you have to admit gentiles took up his religion pretty quickly. By Paul's time only a few decades later there were established gentile communities of Christians. I don't know what the reasons are for this, I know the Jesus of the gospels seems to say that obeying the laws isn't important anymore, but it takes innovation from people like Paul for it to make any sense for gentiles.
I think it was just a nice-sounding cult which proselytised a lot more than judaism, and thus went from aramaic-speaking jews to greek-speaking jews to greek-speaking gentiles and then across the Roman empire.

John 10:16
I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.
Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’
Luke 10:29-37
But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’ Jesus replied, ‘A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan while travelling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, “Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.” Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?’ He said, ‘The one who showed him mercy.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do likewise.’
