>How much of the legend behind Rurik is true?
He probably existed and first rulers of Kievan Rus were Normans.
>Did Rurik and his men get slavanized genetically and culturally like the Normans or did they stay Norse for a long time?
Yes, and they did it very quickly. It can even be seen by names of the princes:
>Oleg
Helge
>Igor
Ingvar
>Olga
Helga
>Svyatoslav
>Volodymer
Waldemar
>Yaroslav

>How much did Rurik's Norse background affect the culture of the area? Is there still Norse/Germanic cultural links in 1600+ Russia?
Rulers didn't affect shit. Novgorod and surroundings (archeological data suggests Novgorod appeared only in 10th century) has always been influenced by its neighbors heavily but Moscow and Russian core is a completely different story since territories of Vladimir-Suzdal principality were full of Finno-Ugrics, and they were colonized by what are now Russians way after viking activity. In fact, some people (Kostomarov, Zaliznyak) went as far as describing Novgorod as a completely separate identity. Either way, Ivan IV fucked Novgorod up so hard its culture almost disappeared so it's irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

In other words, yes, anti-Normanists are idiots.
In other words, no, Ivan wuz not vikingz n cyka blyat.

So when Ahmad ibn Fadiam described Rus he was in fact describing Slavs and not norsemen?

Poor leadership and lack of experience , also widespread nepotism.

Lack of equipment that matched up to modern standards, Mussolini knew as much, and asked Hitler to postpone the war for this reason

>>1297325
This, and also the Italians had no reason to care whether they won or lost the war.

They were pretty much just in it because Il Duce wanted to play with the big boys.

Napoleon seemed to have been a more refined Pruss-remover rather than Germ-remover.

And somehow, germans will even praise Napoleon to this day for having instilled in them some nationalism through the Rhine confederation, and reminding them that they became a push-over by being this fragmented.

So Stalin I suppose.

I have no evidence to back up this claim but it probably has to do with the fact that the enemy is often dehumanized and that's when the atrocities of war start to occur since if they're not viewed as human, you can do pretty much anything to them, and when they're trying to kill your friends and you blame them for having put you in your shitty situation, it makes all the more sense to want to treat them badly.

This is the sauce behind the "wherever I go I must also rape" pic you see somewhere in this imageboard.

Can someone that is christian answer this:

Nothing on itself is forbidden because the great commandment is the fulfilling of the law.

Confirmation from Romans 14

13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.

14 B ...if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean...

17...the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking...

Prince Rupert's dog, Boye, followed him into battle. Parliamentarian propaganda claimed he was actually a shapeshifted Finnish woman who could detect treasures and catch bullets

I think that the pre-Westphalian Empires that ceded to the British count. Maybe some of the Chinese dynasties that just sort of deflated instead of crashing.

>>1293291
They were already resigned to it by around 1900. The world wars had a depressing influence.

I'd say it was less overextension or military weakness than sheer demoralisation.

Well they were definitely western aligned.
The Afrikaaners were shit scared of commies.
They thought they were prime targets for mass murder if the communists ever got into power.

They fought the Cubans in Angola.
Cuba's were given lots of planes and equipment by the Soviets, the South Africans didn't have as many planes and had to build some of their own equipment. The Cubans lost the actual fighting but the south Africans had to pull back as they didn't have air superiority. The war ended with both sides pulling out and SA giving Namibia it's independence ( but it was to be a capitalist country ).
SA made nukes with the Israelis, but got rid of them before apartheid ended as they didn't trust the blacks with them.

>>1293181
They were part of the Neutral Bloc really and were too tied up with the Apartheid to have any real part in the Cold War.

Depends on if you're making a decision or finding truth. Duh bro inb4 Spooks
