It wasn't just the loss of life, but the loss of learning and culture and civilization. Probably the worst such event until the Mongols destroyed Baghdad, or maybe the Qin empire's cultural destruction of its rivals.

That didn't ever happen.

Nice trips you pagan

literally a non-issue back in reality

Doesn't bridge the is-ought gap

Next question

Well there is natural law. However Aquinas supports man's law speficially the law of priests. He literally beleived that certain truths can never be proven and one must just blindly obey the priests that have been given exclusivivity. Essentially he turns God into his own personal sock puppet.

Final Causality bridges the gap.
So is this to say that final causality is the core of the issue?

I know this is very hard for many people to appreciate, especially fellow liberals, but never in the history of mankind has a nation been anywhere near as powerful as the US. Mid ranking generals hold more power than entire continents. If it weren't for the fact that other countries have nukes (which yeah that's a bit silly to even say), and if the US didn't give a shit about consequences (PR n shit), it could take on the rest of the planet without really breaking a sweat. It's really really funny to me that this is controversial. It's as real as the sun in the sky. Lot of butt hurt when people hear this because they think we're bragging, as if American people are on the same team as their gov haha

Technologically inferior weapons, total air dominance by the americans,army still somewhat fucked by iran-iraq war, not resorting to a guerilla tactic against overwhelming enemy superiority

Mfw when america got BTFO in any war after WW2 even Korea and has only declined in its might since.

Be realistic you might be able to quickly conquer 3-4 shit tier nations at once, 1-2 secondary powers and 1 great power (China and russia are debatable due to Terrain and stuff). You won't be able to hold these for long and america would quickly spiral into bankrupcy and massive civil unrest.

Desert Storm is fucking insane, and if it wasn't for the political landscape wanting to only take a huge shit on US affairs in MENA, it would be hailed as an exceptional victory with its speed and ferocity.

He did a lot of things wrong. Almost everything wrong in fact. He was in way over his head as Autocrat and millions of people suffered for it.

He is an affront to nature at this point, a homunculus.

This is a variation on the map detailing CULTURAL diversity instead. Which isn't the same thing For example the notable difference of.Brazil. The above map has it as relatively diverse due to its racial admixture. This map notes, almost all of Brazil has the same language and religion and thus has it as homogenous.

Some of the greatest HRE generals were Italian, as well as some of the finest admirals (including those who led in Lepanto).

I'm always triggered by the trolling they get everywhere.

Italians lose battles, not wars.

Define "Italian"

The Eternal Venetian strikes again.

Honestly what ever went right there? Not a whole lot actually. I guess they beat up Sweden and wrote a neat book or two.

All I know is that my Faith is unbroken for 2000 years. And yours is a DIY mishmash without an actual Priesthood, confessional or real communion.

Obligatory Otto von Bismarck, Rommel, Napoleon

Napoleon was able to micromanage a country like France to the most minute detail and he was actually good at it too so I'll go with him.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this guy. I doubt that anybody didn't respect him from his entry in the Senate until his death.

Laugh all you want but Finns are my favourites before Sweden colonized Finland.

The fall of the Inca was actually pretty tragic when one looks at how advanced they were at least compared to other AmerIndian powers
If It wasn't for the Civil war they could have easily survived like the Mapuche down south did
