>"They shall sigh with remorse, but shall never come out of the Fire" (2:168). "The unbelievers are like beasts which, call out to them as one may, can hear nothing but a shout and a cry. Deaf, dumb, and blind, they understand nothing" (2:172). "Theirs shall be a woeful punishment" (2:175). "How stead-fastly they seek the Fire! That is because God has revealed the Book with truth; those that disagree about it are in extreme schism" (2:176). "Slay them wherever you find them. Drive them out of the places from which they drove you. Idolatry is worse than carnage. ... [I]f they attack you put them to the sword. Thus shall the unbe-lievers be rewarded: but if they desist, God is forgiving and merci-ful. Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God's religion reigns supreme. But if they desist, fight none except the evil-doers"(2:190-93). "Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dis-like it. But you may hate a thing although it is good for you, and love a thing although it is bad for you. God knows, but you know not" (2:216). "They will not cease to fight against you until they force you to renounce your faith—if they are able. But whoever of you recants and dies an unbeliever, his works shall come to nothing in this world and in the world to come. Such men shall be the ten-ants of Hell, wherein they shall abide forever. Those that have embraced the Faith, and those that have fled their land and fought for the cause of God, may hope for God's mercy" (2:217-18). "God does not guide the evil-doers" (2:258). "God does not guide the unbelievers" (2:264). "The evil-doers shall have none to help them" (2:270). "God gives guidance to whom He will" (2:272).

>"Those that deny God's revelations shall be sternly punished; God is mighty and capable of revenge" (3:5). "As for the unbeliev-ers, neither their riches nor their children will in the least save them from God's judgment. They shall become fuel for the Fire" (3:10). "Say to the unbelievers: 'You shall be overthrown and driven into Hell—an evil resting place!'" (3:12). "The only true faith in God's sight is Islam.... He that denies God's revelations should know that swift is God's reckoning" (3:19). "Let the believers not make friends with infidels in preference to the faithful—he that does this has nothing to hope for from God—except in self-defense" (3:28). "Believers, do not make friends with any but your own people. They will spare no pains to corrupt you. They desire nothing but your ruin. Their hatred is evident from what they utter with their mouths, but greater is the hatred which their breasts conceal" (3:118). "If you have suffered a defeat, so did the enemy. We alter-nate these vicissitudes among mankind so that God may know the true believers and choose martyrs from among you (God does not love the evil-doers); and that God may test the faithful and annihi-late the infidels" (3:140). "Believers, if you yield to the infidels they will drag you back to unbelief and you will return headlong to perdi-tion....We will put terror into the hearts of the unbelievers.... The Fire shall be their home" (3:149-51).

>"Believers, do not follow the example of the infidels, who say of their brothers when they meet death abroad or in battle: 'Had they stayed with us they would not have died, nor would they have been killed.' God will cause them to regret their words. ... If you should die or be slain in the cause of God, God's forgiveness and His mercy would surely be better than all the riches they amass" (3:156). "Never think that those who were slain in the cause of God are dead. They are alive, and well provided for by their Lord; pleased with His gifts and rejoicing that those they left behind, who have not yet joined them, have nothing to fear or to regret; rejoicing in God's grace and bounty. God will not deny the faithful their reward" (3:169). "Let not the unbelievers think that We prolong their days for their own good. We give them respite only so that they may commit more grievous sins. Shameful pun-ishment awaits them" (3:178). "Those that suffered persecution for My sake and fought and were slain: I shall forgive them their sins and admit them to gardens watered by running streams, as a reward from God; God holds the richest recompense. Do not be deceived by the fortunes of the unbelievers in the land. Their prosperity is brief. Hell shall be their home, a dismal resting place" (3:195-96).

It was a shame how he carried on.

Imagine citing a tabloid, because that's literally the grade of evidence you have of an affair. She wanted to save her son.

Russia was about to lose Alaska to Japan so they got what they could for it by selling it to the United States at a bargain. There isn't any more to tell.

>>557785

TLDR, Russia was in serious debt from the Crimean War, and they had no ability to defend Alaska from any enemies, specifically the UK. It was also not that profitable.

>>557798
>>557787
I can understand Russia not particularly wanting it, as it is so far from the eastern-european center of Russia, but why did America go so long without acknowledging Alaska or the people who lived there? It's baffling to me.

Lack of public approval wasn't the reason they lost the war. They lost the war because there weren't any hard objectives, and because it was an unconventional war that they didn't know how to fight.

What would have been the best way to win the war?

Norseman settled in North America in what they called Vinland around the year 1000 CE. They eventually abandoned it. Beyond that Polenysians made contact with the Americas.

There were the Na-Dene and Inuit migrations into America from Siberia.

Polynesian contact along the South American coast.

The Norse briefly tried to settle in the north but the harsh weather, hostile natives, and general lack of draw/interest made them abandon it.

There's some evidence the Basques might have reached around Newfoundland chasing new fishing and whaling grounds, but there's nothing definitive.

Anything outside of this is complete speculation without any real evidence and is usually /x/-tier

This, the only other theory that seems slightly plausible to me (with no evidence though) is the Irish Monks.

I dunno, I remember in my college Japstory 101 class he jumped straight into Tokugawa.

>>557685
Lack of solid information mostly, yeah. There's a substantial amount, but not enough in English, and sadly, not enough interest to warrant Western academics from pulling away from their Heian and Edo period circlejerk to write anything about it. We're damn lucky we have what we do about the Sengoku era in English. Good luck finding anything about the Jomon, Yayoi, or Kofun.

>>557745
The best Ive read is Ellis Amdur's essay on early Japanese weapons, titled "Ancient Weapons" But its more about known weapons and speculations on their use, not about specific campaigns or the political situation before Shotoku's reforms

Haber also developed chemical weapons. His scientist wife said she couldn't stand them helping kill so many people and asked him to stop. He told her to shut up and get back in the kitchen. She shot herself that night. Within the next day or so Haber was off to help develop more chemical weapons and shit. When the war ended and Germany was defeated he promised to repay all of Germany's war debt himself by extracting gold from ocean water. When Hitler came to power he was forced to leave Germany just because he had Jews in his family despite not being a Jew himself.

Dude gave his soul up for Germany and got kicked in the teeth for his trouble.

Basically, Western Europe was not the entire world. Western Europe just calls it the Dark ages because they want to pretend the entire world was retarded for the period, not just Western Europe, because Western Europe likes to pretend it was the greatest for all of history.

MDMA, LSD, Mushrooms and Ketamine are being looked into for medical purposes, specifically treatment of depression and PTSD.

I'd say tobacco and caffeine are a net good on the count that they have more or less no downsides, stimulate the economy by the demand for them, and generally just help people get through the day.

Alcohol on the other hand is clearly bad. Even if just for the more philosophical reasons suggested by Nietzsche.

>>556997

Alcohol and tobacco are extremely destructive

No drugs should be adopted outside of medical use since the vast majority of people can't handle them

Manufacturing industry collapsing, leading to emergence of the rust belt, communist countries actively trying to start race war in the US and of course lead. Actually, it was mostly lead.

New opportunities to get rich illegally, and law enforcement trying to catch up with it.
That's assuming you're talking about the big player types you always hear about. Crime is crime, it's always there.

>and their subsequent decline starting in the 1990s?

Most likely Roe vs. Wade. Women who got abortion were usually from the disadvantaged groups. Their kids, had they been born, had much higher chances to run into trouble with laws. Those that actually were born had fewer siblings and thus better case, which increase their chances for normal lives.
