Apparently he also thought fortune-tellers and astrologers predicting droughts were the same as physicians predicting health and death.

>Divination denotes a foretelling of the future. The future may be foreknown in two ways: first in its causes, secondly in itself. Now the causes of the future are threefold: for some produce their effects, of necessity and always; and such like future effects can be foreknown and foretold with certainty, from considering their causes, even as astrologers foretell a coming eclipse. Other causes produce their effects, not of necessity and always, but for the most part, yet they rarely fail: and from such like causes their future effects can be foreknown, not indeed with certainty, but by a kind of conjecture, even as astrologers by considering the stars can foreknow and foretell things concerning rains and droughts, and physicians, concerning health and death.

And magic is VERY real!

>Some have asserted that witchcraft is nothing in the world but an imagining of men who ascribed to spells those natural effects the causes of which are hidden. But this is contrary to the authority of holy men who state that the demons have power over men's bodies and imaginations, when God allows them: wherefore by their means wizards can work certain signs. Now this opinion grows from the root of unbelief or incredulity, because they do not believe that demons exist save only in the imagination of the common people, who ascribe to the demon the terrors which a man conjures from his thoughts, and because, owing to a vivid imagination, certain shapes such as he has in his thoughts become apparent to the senses, and then he believes that he sees the demons. But such assertions are rejected by the true faith whereby we believe that angels fell from heaven, and that the demons exist, and that by reason of their subtle nature they are able to do many things which we cannot; and those who induce them to do such things are called wizards.

Having a bad marriage? It's probably a wizard's spell. But don't worry, there are solutions and procedures for dealing with it

> Wherefore others have maintained that witchcraft can set up an impediment to carnal copulation, but that no such impediment is perpetual: hence it does not void the marriage contract, and they say that the laws asserting this have been revoked. But this is contrary to actual facts and to the new legislation which agrees with the old.

>We must therefore draw a distinction: for the inability to copulate caused by witchcraft is either perpetual and then it voids marriage, or it is not perpetual and then it does not void marriage. And in order to put this to practical proof the Church has fixed the space of three years in the same way as we have stated with regard to frigidity. There is, however this difference between a spell and frigidity, that a person who is impotent through frigidity is equally impotent in relation to one as to another, and consequently when the marriage is dissolved, he is not permitted to marry another woman. whereas through witchcraft a man may be rendered impotent in relation to one woman and not to another, and consequently when the Church adjudges the marriage to be dissolved, each party is permitted to seek another partner in marriage.

I hope you find this stuff convincing, otherwise you might be a heretic.

>Now a heretic is one who devises or follows false or new opinions. Therefore heresy is opposed to the truth, on which faith is founded; and consequently it is a species of unbelief.

What Aquinas think of heretics?

>With regard to heretics two points must be observed: one, on their own side; the other, on the side of the Church. On their own side there is the sin, whereby they deserve not only to be separated from the Church by excommunication, but also to be severed from the world by death.

Because both the Poles and the Lithuanians want to forget it, I made a joking post on /int/ asking when reunification would occur and it ended up in a huge internet fight between them.

>>393057
There are two factors actually.
1. Only Poles and Baltics care about it.
2. The only people who care about it hate it.

Those two combine to answer your question, OP.

>>393057
Just uttering the word "Vilno" is enough to create tremendous Polish butthurt.

It must not have been that unlikely if Hitler thought highly enough of the plan to actually go through with it, right?

Assuming he takes control of the russian oil and industry, I'd imagine there's nowhere else to go but stalemate.

He'd expect a surrender from the british, which he did not get.

Japan wanted him to attack India from the west. Maybe that would be his next option to force the Brits to surrender.

Eventually, A-Bomb blows Japan up and is poised to be used against Germany.

They kept large scale British shipping out of the Mediterranean until 43, as well as soaking up some of the strategic bombing that otherwise would have been diverted elsewhere.

And, don't forget, for most of Rommel's victories, about 2/3-3/4 of his troops were Italians, and he got them to fight pretty well.

Italy literally cost Axis the war.

The idea that the invasion of Russia was a catastrophic failure and a mistake is a myth. It is 1250 kms from Warsaw to Moscow and Operation Barbarossa made it to within 25 kms, the Germans managed to encircle Leningrad and Stalingrad for a while, though they were pushed back after Stalingrad it wasn't until late 1944 that the line collapsed. It is completely feasible that if Germany had a little extra push they could have at least stabilized the front in the east and made it impossible for the Soviet Union to recover, if not collapsing the Soviet Union, claiming the oil wells in the caucasus and other objectives.

The most notable opportunity for this "extra push" was avoiding delays to the start of Operation Barbarossa, delays caused by Italy's failed invasion of Greece which forced Hitler to divert resources to the Balkans campaign while simultaneously repositioning troops from the invasion of France and supplying them. Had this not happened, Germany would have had an extra few crucial months before the Eastern European mud season and Russian winter, certainly enough to begin the battle of Moscow which Hitler would have devoted the entire German war machine into and could be supplied more easily than the battle of Stalingrad.

Italy was not a poorly developed country, it was wealthier than say Romania which provided crucial support on the Eastern front. Italy had equipment and training that rivaled Germany, the UK and France. There is no explanation for Italy's dismal performance in the war other besides something inherent in their character which caused them to develop fantastic dreams of restoring the Roman empire then speedily surrender 10000s of troops and overthrow their own government when it went a little wrong.

The political logic was undeniable though.

Damn shame, he should've passed up that crown and become a full time family man before 1914. Guy was a pretty awful Czar, but by all accounts a top-tier husband and father.

Boo fucking hoo
Do you honestly expect anyone to reasonably care about one family in 1918, when both WW1 (which caused 18 million deaths) and the Russian Civil War (which led to 9 million deaths) were simultaneously happening? Yeah, just focus all your mourning on the people who actually needed to/deserved to be killed.

Worst king to ever live.

He was a decent king, to be honest. He was just there at the wrong time. Wealthy bourgeoisis just wanted to seize power.

We know for fact that Marie Antoinette had an affair with a Swedish officer, that started in the early 1780s. Whether she gave birth to him or not we can say for sure. Anyway, the Queen's sexual misbehavior was an incredibly popular meme in pre-Revolutionary France, so the notion that her children were bastards did fit into it very nicely.

Justice is impersonal. Some asshole is just following orders.

Justice is seen as an objective punishment, while Vengeance is seen as subjective. Justice is done through systems and people before being finalized while Vengeance is seemingly sudden done through a single person or a small group of people.

A person is found to be a rapist, evidence is sought after, and trials are held. That is considered justice.

A person bitter at the rapist from first hand or from seeing the aftermath either kills them or rapes them with objects. That is seen as vengeance because you are taking it upon yourself to deal the punishment.

Justice is seen as repressing a violent urge to be the "bigger man" while vengeance is seen as allowing anger or hatred to take over. People differ them between self control.

You can masquerade vengeance as justice, but very seldom can you do the opposite.

There is no difference. Stupid amerburgers didn't understand that you could have a justice system without the need of revenge (safety, rehabilitation) so instead they tried to justify revenge by pretending its something different that is noble.

That's today burgers still sperg out over "muh justice must be done" with capital punishment and shit, while aryans just throw people into prison to protect society, everything else is irrelevant.
