Chill in a comfy seat staring at maps and eating good food. If your side wins the war you become president, if you lose you kill yourself.

In short, they make grand-scale decisions for their troops by all the information filtered by their subordinates.

The orders will be delivered to lower-level commanders like colonels etc. and so on who actually know how to execute these orders with their regiments, companies etc.

What scenarios you stupid sperg?

Ethics of self-driving car, specifically the actions it should take during accidents that involve multiple humans

>>1329563

It sounds like less of a problem than with human drivers. In fact that article agrees; we have "time to get it right."

>Going completely off, to me, it seems the "problem" is not self-driving cars, but rather liberals/liberal media and their lack of sense of personal responsibility and rights.

Literally what the fuck are you talking about?

Who the hell misunderstands Mahan? He articulated a shitty outline for naval strategy, which lasted as long as it did because there weren't competing visions.

Well you did end up answering the question, just not in the way you expected.

>>1329480
Seriously, Mahanian doctrine is shit, not the least because in the 17th and 18th centuries he grounded most of his work on, actually controlling commercial lanes through swapper was nigh impossible.

He completely ignores the effect of the railroad on international commerce and thus power, (explain the rise of Russia in Mahanian theory), and even in its own terms, it's shit.

Show me a conflict in which two opposing navies held their fleets together in one capital ship concentration, attempted to destroy the opposing fleet, and then instituted a blockade? If anything, the reverse continually happened, threats to shipping (usually conducted by small raiders, not capital ships) forced naval engagements, which often didn't otherwise form due to the extreme difficulty in attacking a fleet in port.

In either predictive or reccomendive value, Mahan had little to offer.

Again, who is "misreading" him and how?

Egyptians aren't even white or black. So, with that out of the way, who the fuck are they?

"Arab" is an umbrella term for nearly all Middle-Eastern Semites post-Mohammad.

So they're technically Arab according to the modern viewpoint of what constitutes an Arab.

England because I speak the language. Bring a few lenses, beat Galileo and Kepler to the telescope, build optical telegraph, profit immensely.

You are actually retarded

He didn't want it and he didn't attack it. Britain and France declared war on Germany.

>>1329302
what about Czechoslovakia and Poland?

He wanted "living space" for the German people. Basically, it was really trendy at the time to be isolationist and want to create a nation that was completely self-sufficient and wouldn't have to depend on any kind of trade to survive and prosper, and Germany, such as it was at the time, had a very high population relative to the amount of food that it produced and was heavily dependent on trade. Hitler invaded Poland so he could add all of that fertile farmland to his domains to freely redistribute to the German people, spread them out a bit, and make sure Germany could produce everything its people needed. It was for these same reasons that Japan expanded into mainland Asia and the tropical islands to the south.

>>1329204
In my opinion, only the Western portion belongs to it. As for the Eastern portion, that belongs to Southwest Asia.

its actually its own continent.

>>1329211

Agreed. Like including the eastern portion would be like including Africa because of the north part.

>>1329175
>Was there ever any possible way for Germany to have a decisive victory had they attempted this?
No. They didn't even have sufficient landing crafts and planned to transfer the majority of their troops through the English channel with what are essentially converted river barges. Even if they had air superiority over the channel, the landing still would have failed due to the overwhelming power of the Royal Navy.
With the way Germans were planning on transporting troops, all it takes is one destroyer to pass through the defense net and the invasion would suffer heavy casualties and be forced to be abandoned.

>>1329194
Thanks so much for reading my thread and responding,

I also heard that a main problem with the landing was the fact that much of the German forces were still hours-drawn. Getting all those houses and equipment in old time boats would have been a nightmare.

To these problems, did the German high command have any solutions?

>>1329216
>To these problems, did the German high command have any solutions?
Their solution was abandoning the landing itself.
It was virtually impossible until either the Kriegsmarine is expanded large enough to win surface naval battles against the Royal Navy which will take many years, which was dangerous for the German economy unless they somehow win against the USSR. The other parts are not difficult problems if they can beat the Royal Navy, which was the big hurdle.

are you familiar with peruvian autism?

>>1329127
Might as well, if it interests you.

You're just as likely to end up Jobless even if you fall for the STEM meme.

>>1329127
If you have a plan of what to do with it then yes

and I'm not just talking about teaching history, there's other things the skills you gain from history can translate to

>>1329127
Absolutely not, no money there. As a matter of fact, don't go to university at all unless you KNOW what you want to do. Otherwise shoot for the stars getting an internship or taking one of your productive hobbies very seriously.

Go out and volunteer at a dig site or museum if you want to do /his/ related stuff just to get your toes wet.

Abbasids were already over-extended.

Note how Turks did most of the fighting for them.

Too far away from home.

Supply lines were already stretched bare, and at that point they'd be stretching onto where the Chinese were stronger, while becoming increasingly weaker.

My history professor stressed the imporatance of the Cavalry tactics of the Muslims as the reasons for failing to stretch farther into India and for the loss against the Franks at Tours, but I don't know how credible that is.

>>1328972
The Abbasids won at Talas because the local Tarlaks switched sides and helped them out.

Then, for reasons I'm not entirely clear on, they went back to Tang Cinese ocerlordship, at least until the An Lushan rebellion.
