That's a really big tree

>>364305
yes it is

>>364302
Good for you.

>Was it a difference in standards?
Yes, this is something very well known to us.

I'd like to have a discussion of course but it's already well established that standards change with time.

Because the use of make-up wasn't as advanced or widespread.

Admitting that USSR and Nazi Germany were as bad as each other is something I can already give him respect for.

He also takes a huge shit on the partisans, especially UPA.

Well no. What he did wrong was constantly antagonize his own retainers.

The dude had to deal with one betrayal or another almost nonstop. It ultimately lead to his demise.

Hideyoshi and Ieyasu were far better in securing the loyalty of their retainers and allies.

Will say though, Japan probably would have been better off with the Oda shogunate.

Mongolians don't have martial arts you dumb kuck

As for Chinese/Japanese, depending on context.
With no rules, I can imagine Qin Na and Akido being quite a force to go up against.

When someone attacks you, and that's about it.

All wars are justified in the eye of the instigator, so it's kind of a silly question.

I recently got some documents from the Bureau of Military History about my great grandfathers involvement in the Cork branch of the IRA from 1926 till the ceasefire.

He was a battalion leader. So its all about which spies they killed, how they stole weapons, how they mad their explosives.

Could post in a bit if anyone is interested.

OH SHITE LADDO, IT'S A ANODDA POTATO FAMINE

No

the ratio of the human body remains constant, therefore, if one part is seen to change measure (ie: height) then you can assume that everything else will also scale with the same factor.

Where?

>>363936
England.

Who is that again?

I'm pretty sure it just makes for exclusion either on terms for one's self ( for exclusion or against an exclusion ) or for the terms themselves as they stand to contain or maintain.

>>363802
>Who is that again?

>Joseph-Marie, comte de Maistre was a Savoyard philosopher, writer, lawyer, and diplomat. He defended hierarchical societies and a monarchical State in the period immediately following the French Revolution.

I don't understand what you just wrote. Parlez-vous français?

>>363770
He did influence Comte quite a bit, so kind of. It is hard to put de Maistre in a box like that. He was an often crude genius.

Cute little statelets can do amazing things if their enemies are retarded enough. Shu's enemies were not retarded though so it was pure fantasy.

The most abhorrent element of her argument is her total failure to understand what a tragedy is. It makes me throw up in my mouth.

BECAUSE THE ZIONIST BRITISH REGIME WANTS TO RIDICULE HIM FOR BEING COOPERATIVE WITH THE THIRD REICH.

>Everybody forgets FDR was a convenient fucking 'isolationist'.

FDR wasn't isolationist, the country was. The domestic economic downturn made the country look inward to its own problems. The unsatisfying conclusion to WW1 had left a bad taste in the mouths of Americans. Active foreign policy in the US was perceived as unwise 'meddling' in other country's affairs. Among both congress and the public at large there was tremendous sentiment against involving the country in European diplomatic games, even if presenting a united diplomatic front with France and Britain could have dissuaded German aggression.

Chamberlain certainly gets more hate than he deserves, as if it was he himself that personally laid all the groundwork to Germany's rise, but it's mostly because it's easier and more satisfying to lay the blame on a single person instead of the 'international community'.

I love his story, especially his travels through Africa.
He had a pretty odd sense of humor too.
