No, to some extent we are still subject to natural selection, but we have been able to mitigate the vast majority of the pathways that natural selection operates through as it applies to ever other species.

Germans like to obey orders. They historically never resisted occupying invaders.

The clear trumping of China by any European force would begin by the late 1700's. It was that kind of army that fought the first Opium War.

Everything else is speculation. The first few European Military encounters between China and Europe were naval fights between the Ming and Portugal and the Dutch. And China won all three (four?) engagements.
>Tunmen
>Xicaowan
>The great raids against the Dutch East India Corporation
>Koxinga's invasion of Formosa.

>>1028842
Okay, well first we need to know what kind of random land, the size of the force, and from what country and era. You said before firearms, do you mean matchlocks or handgonnes or gunpowder in general.

>>1028852
Those naval battles aren't great, they're rather minor and even then the dutch weren't fully committed. Honestly, chinese v. european engagements are very limited save for the Opium war but that's out of the time period. Portugal did great in India and the eastern parts of Africa, but that's stretching it to compare to China

>>1028842
I'm going to postulate that China has bigger armies in general, and could hild a local superiority of numbers in any field short of invading Europe.

Further, the Chinese had more experience in supply and logisitics when it comes to moving vast armies along great distances, probably moreso than European nations of the time, sinply due to the scale of geography.

I may be mistaken, and I know nothing about disparities in weaponry.

you don't know but you correctly believe

Yes, you do.

Do you know that your grandma is in the hospital?
Yes. You do.

vietnam was hotter, so vietnam

For Amerifats, Vietnam surely since they did jack shit in WW1
But for the countries that really fought in WW1, Vietnam was a MLP episode

Only a slack jawed COD amerifat millennial would think that any war can compare in terror with The Great War.

The trench battles of Verdun outrank any Vietnamese sweaty jungle brawl by several orders of magnitude, and it is an insult to the hundreds of thousands that perished to try to rank it up against the Vietnam war, period.

Tet was terrible, no doubt. But Verdun was Hell

Because of this.

Okay not madagascar, but somewhere he could have shipped them.

>>1015602
>Not invade anything and wait until Germany had overwhelming technological superiority
Because Soviet industry was developing so rapidly that it would have outpaced Germany by 1943, which was basically the Soviet plans for the war from the start (i.e. hoping that France and Germany would fight WWI style until 1943 when the USSR would kick in Germany's back door).

The Nazis either had to start the war when they did, or they wouldn't be in a good position to win later on.

Isn't the point the refreshment and clarity following meditation? I'm no expert but I always assumed jhana was more of a placebo effect. Or even as some zen bros call it "chasing states."

Or maybe it's like ASMR and not everyone experiences it? I know I don't.

Senātus Populusque Rōmānus. Happy birthday to the greatest empire to rule Europe. Also it is incredible that Rome stood for as long as it did.

Around Germanics, panic

How did Rome provide for itself? Large villas that used many slaves for resources? Was the system even effective?
