Charlemagne was pretty competent by christening his enemies so they were bound by church law to not fight

Fuck off with your shitty bait.

I'm just curious, going along with this theory, where does the supposed nation of Israel come from. The formation "God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob" is repeated throughout the pentateuch, and from what I understand, that formulation is pretty old.

>>1057822
Why do you find lies interesting?

Isaac had no children prior to the event, and had children afterwards.

>>1057822
>the entire story of the Binding of Isaac "bears no specific mark of being a polemic against child sacrifice"

This is true. However, there are plenty of mentions of child sacrifices to Molech being forbidden.

>>1060731
>implying that's not true

So why did it take the world to beat them TWICE then huh genius?

> Germany never won a war
> Israel never lost a war

>>1060731
Russia, Britain or the US alone could have beat them. each of them outpaced Germany's war economy often by several times. but the war would have lasted a long ass time without multiple fronts due to Hitler forcing the country to fight down to the last man and refusing to surrender

>>1059886
All war is a crime.

Violence is never justified.

nope (no one complains the firebombing of Tokyo in March of that year was a war crime, and it killed just as many)

yup (still at war)

>>1059906
You're of course right, but it's worth noting that Curtis Lemay himself once said that if the US lost the war he'd be tried as a war criminal.

OP, dropping the bomb saved lives, plain and simple. What about it seems controversial to you?

Hi.

Very underrated author in comparison with Jung and Campbell.

i have some books but havent read them yet

>>1056868
Yes! Eliade is a legend. I'm studying religion at UChicago and his work heavily heavily colors the curriculum here.

>implying Manstein wasn't the god-emperor we needed, but didn't deserve

Because:
-Guderian was taken off the frontlines in late '41 due to withdrawals against orders to prevent frontal collapse so he doesn't have any cloud like Rommel or Manstein and others
-Guderian was never promoted to field marshal due to aforementioned move to reserves and promotion to FM depended entirely on Hitler
-He was assigned chief of staff in '44 where he couldn't really do anything against increasingly delirious Hitler though he did constantly engage in shouting matches with Hitler
-Guderian was old school Prussian officer and didn't get involved in any coup attempts or get killed like Patton or Rommel

And fucking Rommel recommended Guderian as the only possible replacement for him in Africa but it didn't happen because Hitler.

Guderian threads are the only reason I even visit this damn board

>Around midnight, Yakov Yurovsky, the commandant of The House of Special Purpose, ordered the Romanovs' physician, Dr. Eugene Botkin, to awaken the sleeping family and ask them to put on their clothes, under the pretext that the family would be moved to a safe location due to impending chaos in Yekaterinburg.The Romanovs were then ordered into a 6 m × 5 m (20 ft × 16 ft) semi-basement room. Nicholas asked if Yurovsky could bring two chairs, on which Tsarevich Alexei and Alexandra sat.
>The prisoners were told to wait in the cellar room while the truck that would transport them was being brought to the House. A few minutes later, an execution squad of secret police was brought in and Yurovsky read aloud the order given him by the Ural Executive Committee:

>"Nikolai Alexandrovich, in view of the fact that your relatives are continuing their attack on Soviet Russia, the Ural Executive Committee has decided to execute you."

>Nicholas, facing his family, turned and said "What? What?" Yurovsky quickly repeated the order and the weapons were raised. The Empress and Grand Duchess Olga, according to a guard's reminiscence, had tried to cross themselves, but failed amid the shooting. Yurovsky reportedly raised his gun at Nicholas's torso and fired; Nicholas fell dead. Yurovsky then shot Alexei. The other executioners then began shooting chaotically until all the intended victims had fallen.
>Several more shots were fired and the doors opened to scatter the smoke. There were some survivors, so Peter Ermakov stabbed them with bayonets because the shots could be heard outside. The last to die were Tatiana, Anastasia, and Maria, who were carrying a few pounds (over 1.3 kilograms) of diamonds sewn into their clothing, which had given them a degree of protection from the firing. However, they were speared with bayonets as well.
>Olga sustained a gunshot wound to the head. Maria and Anastasia were said to have crouched up against a wall covering their heads in terror until they were shot down. Yurovsky himself killed Tatiana and Alexei. Tatiana died from a single bullet through the back of her head. Alexei received two bullets to the head, right behind the ear after the executioners realized he had not been killed by the first shot. Anna Demidova, Alexandra's maid, survived the initial onslaught but was quickly stabbed to death against the back wall while trying to defend herself with a small pillow which she had carried that was filled with precious gems and jewels.

Lebensraum for pure Germanics of Aryan descent™. Even with all the German bullshitting and anschluss it was only a matter of time before he pushed the French and Brits over the edge, Hitler was still surprised they bothered to declare war for Poland though. At that point it was necessary to knock the French out since they had arguably the best continental European military, nobody expected such a short campaign though. WW2 docs are amazing, I still remember watching Apocalypse WW2 when it came out because that was the first time I ever saw colour footage of the conflict, dat theme song

/tv/ permanently ruined any discussion of this (pretty great) movie. I would love an updated version of Napoleon's Italian campaigns. It could have all the challenges of a young new general dealing with challenge after challenge. It would show flashes of some megalomania, but overall he'd act admirably.

These Americans may speak, worship, and live like subhumans, but they're totally homo sapiens because of genetics and should only be regarded as homo sapiens.
