I'm going to make the thread that this board was created for: US Army vs Roman Army.
1st US Infantry Division(approximately 11000 men) get dropped into Denmark at the time of Trajan. The Division's target is to topple the Roman Government and install a US puppet. Trajan somehow knows of this but just the moment it was spawned, he didn't prepare beforehand. Also assume Rome is at peace with all its neighbours.
Could they do it?

How much time do they have before they start turning into anacondas?
>>
it probably depends on supply for the US Army , if they got unlimited bullets, they can probably do it easily, i mean 11000 with machine guns can beat any roman legions ever
>>
Yes, trivially easily. They vould do it with a dozen guys and a helicopter.

Hey /his/ a few questions:
>Agriculture in Tsarist Russia:
Was Tsarist Russia self sustaining in terms of food production or even had a surplus? Was it reliant on food imports? If yes to what extent?
>hypothetical Russian Republic 1930-1940 without its eastern European holdings lost after Brest-Litovsk :
The situation: The agriculture of Tsarist Russia is the basis. After the Empire fell there was some lackluster land reform (Land owners still hold most of the Land) without an abundance of capital to modernize. The ability of the Government to modernize the agriculture is rather low too. Some Government and private Investments might have happened but nothing large scale. Piece meal efforts of a local nature.
Btw collectivization obviously didn't happen.
The same questions as for Tsarist Russia.
>Bonus questions:
Would the Ukraine produce a large surplus of food if a determined Western capitalist Nation would have heavily invested in its agriculture sector After WW1?
The hypothetical Russian Republic gets an authoritarian/totalitarian government of the not communist kind (not hung up on collective ownership). Its determined to Reform the agriculture with the aim of self sustainibility. Could that work?
>Why do I ask this shit?
I want to write an alt-history. (Kaiserreich the HoI mod is the basis, an AAR extending into the cold war).
My Russia is supposed to become fascist/National Populist. OTLs National Socialist doctrine was heavily influenced by agrarian thinkers. In order to develop a believable Russian fascist doctrine i want to understand the Russian situation and develop an ideology for Russian Expansionism. Pan Slavism plays a role but i Think other factors are as important.

As i said Pan Slavism and the Russian geostrategical situation are huge drivers for Expansionism. Its not stylish fascism without some sort of Lebensraum thinking though.
>>
Ukraine was the breadbasket of both Tsarist Russia and USSR, without it and especially without heavy investments in mechanization the country wouldn't have the ability to sustain its own agricultural needs.
The problem with USSR agriculture was that it was almost always neglected in favor of heavy industry. Even after WW2 Stalin kept building heavy industry while fields mostly layed desolated from the war.
In your scenario, if the big land-owners have no ambition to improve the agricultural output,chances are it will remain a semi-feudalist shithole like it was before the Revolution, only even poorer since there's no Ukraine. It would rely heavily on foreign import, i assume from USA and Germany.
>>
>>3158478
Thanks!
So its safe to say that Russia would be heavily dependent on foreign imports?
Ukraine with high Investments and a modern agriculture on the other hand would be fairly wealthy?
Germany imported food throughout the 20th Century no?
Especially if the Ukraine is in its economic and political sphere.

Islam best for all.
Because Islam didn't changed in timeline Quran same as prophet's(pbuh) time. It didn't corrupted by kings or priests.
Look at the Judaism, its better for Jews
Or look Cristianity, Its corrupted by rulers it have many things from pagans.

What led to the rise of feudalism? Was it related to the way German tribes administrated themselves in their native territories? Or did it rise naturally from the socio-economic situation of post-roman Western Europe?

Reading through the Gospel, it seems one can find an underlying theme of mysticism.
"I and the Father are One."
"The kingdom of heaven is within you."
"You must be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven."
"Has it not been said, You are Gods?"
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
"Seek and ye shall find, for the Father loves to give his Holy Spirit to those who ask!"
Perhaps, one could take scripture more literally and have it become more comprehensible.

Keep in mind that buddhism is divided into sects that are MUCH more different than the denominations of christianity.
If you are looking to base your practice on mediation, (there are many, many forms of mediation.) I would advise looking for the most reputable Sōtō Zen temple nearest to you.

I wouldn't say it's the greatest musical, but it was great. You can tell they put in a lot of effort to remain accurate for the most part. It just ducks that the tickets were so expensive. They were nearly $200 each.

When it comes to 20th century the Cold War fascinates me far more than world wars.
>technological progress never seen before in history, we went to fucking space
>standards ol living were never better from 1946-1973, basically you had almost three decades of non-stop economic growth at enormous speed, only 1973 Oil Crisis managed to stop it
>entire planet is one big ideological battlefield between US and USSR
>tons of interesting events around the world in return, proxy wars, coups, espionage intrigues
>constant tension and drama over possible nuclear apocalypse
>the period produced some amazing culture, music, art, movies, books from the Cold War are top-tier
>and of course aesthetics, the fashion, the haircuts, everything

It always amazes me how the commies managed to diplomatically isolate themselves.
I mean the capitalist powers had a long history of Imperialism which they could of exploited successfully in the 2nd and 3rd worlds.
And yet, the capitalist powers managed to portray themselves as some sort of bastion of freedom.
How can you fuck up that badly?

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1946/04/nuremberg-a-fair-trial-a-dangerous-precedent/306492/
This is a 1946 article written by a US federal judge & Harvard lecturer.
Within, it is argued that by attempting to make the post-war proceedings a judicial matter in the form of a trial, it only served to emphasize the fact that it was a spectacle of political power. Indeed, one of the aspects that has been brought up the most, the ex post facto law, has been recognised by The International Criminal Court as unjust and it does not prosecute crimes committed before its creation.
He quotes Lord Digby (1641), with:
"There is in Parliament a double Power of Life and Death by Bill, a Judicial Power, and legislative; the measure of the one, is what's legally just; of the other, what is Prudentially and Politickly fit for the good and preservation of the whole. But these two, under favour, are not to be confounded in Judgment: We must not piece up want of legality with matter of convenience, nor the defailance of prudential fitness with a pretence of Legal Justice."
tl;dr
Do you believe that the Nuremberg trials were, judicially, a farce? If so, do you feel as though the lack of proper judicial proceedings has weakened the integrity of international law?
