The krauts were way ahead of their time. We still have much to learn from them.

Stupid question OP.

>>1092276
I know I framed my question poorly. I just want to know if leaders got into standoff situations like the cold war before they had weapons of mass destruction. Wouldn't they have just said "big deal" and invaded anyway because there's no risk of total annihilation?

There are theories that a mini-WW3 happened under the sea in 1968 and was agreed to be covered up. Very much unproven but very interesting nonetheless. Made into a hollywood movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_%282013_film%29)


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incident_at_Pristina_airport
Standoff between NATO and Russia in 1999, Supreme Allied Commander of Europe Wesley Clark orders British commander to attack a Russian airbase with tanks, he refuses the order and Clark gets fired.

They're more pure then other humans which means they have a closer relationship with God. They act as the medium by which you talk to God

>>1092024
are they really? how is that supposed to work?

>>1092018
All born again Christians are priests after the Order of Melchizedek, an order greater than the Levitical order. Anything other than that is extra-biblical and has pagan origins.

>>1092024
This, for instance, is absurd and idolatrous.

This is me. Literally me. No other philosopher can come close to relating to me like this. There is no way you can convince me this is not me. This philosopher could not possibly be anymore me. It's me, and nobody can convince me otherwise. If anyone approached me on the topic of this not possibly being me, then I immediately shut them down with overwhelming evidence that this philosopher is me. This philosopher is me, it is indisputable. Why anyone would try to argue that this philosopher is not me is beyond me. If you held two pictures of me and this philosopher side by side, you'd see no difference. I can safely look at this philosopher every day and say "Yup, that's me". I can practically see this philosopher every time I look at myself in the mirror. I go outside and people stop me to comment how similar I look and act to this philosopher. I chuckle softly as I'm assured everyday this philosopher is me in every way. I can smile each time I get out of bed every morning knowing that I've found my identity with this philosopher and I know my place in this world. It's really quite funny how similar this philosopher is to me, it's almost like we're identical twins. When I first saw this philosopher, I had an existential crisis. What if this philosopher was the real me and I was just another pleb. What if this philosopher actual became aware of my existence?

>The nation of the Suevi is by far the largest and the most warlike nation of all the Germans. They are said to possess a hundred cantons, from each of which they yearly send from their territories for the purpose of war a thousand armed men: the others who remain at home, maintain [both] themselves and those-engaged in the expedition. The latter again, in their turn, are in arms the year after: the former remain at home. Thus neither husbandry, nor the art and practice of war are neglected. But among them there exists no private and separate land; nor are they permitted to remain more than one year in one place for the purpose of residence. They do not live much on corn, but subsist for the most part on milk and flesh, and are much [engaged] in hunting; which circumstance must, by the nature of their food, and by their daily exercise and the freedom of their life (for having from boyhood been accustomed to no employment, or discipline, they do nothing at all contrary to their inclination), both promote their strength and render them men of vast stature of body. And to such a habit have they brought themselves, that even in the coldest parts they wear no clothing whatever except skins, by reason of the scantiness of which, a great portion of their body is bare, and besides they bathe in open rivers.

Eh. We have this conversation once every 3 days.

Yeah it helped, but if the Soviets lost the battle of Moscow in 1941 before any help arrived, then well, the lend lease would have been pointless.

Funny enough Stalingrad and Kursk were decided without Lend-Lease having an impact.

WW2 basically was /pol/ against /lefty pol/ and /b/, if you think about it.

The biggest empire before the Achaemenid empire was this, comparatively quite tiny.

There wouldn't be an empire that would eclipse the Achaemenid empire in size until the Arab caliphates, more than a millennium later.

By not being autistic cultural/religious supremacists

>>1091617
Well their were a lot of internal divisions within the empire. The Persian kings wasn't called the king of kings for no reason. I think that the system was was kind of like a glass at then end of the table. It wouldn't fall on its own but it on its own but the slightest push would.

>>1091627
He was too harsh to the peasants but too lenient for the Creole vampires that formed Mexico's nascent aristocracy. He had no base of support and it was just a matter of time before he ended up against a wall.
