Ladies and Gentlemen. I present you Paraguay.
>The Paraguayan War, also known as the War of the Triple Alliance and the Great War in Paraguay, was a South American war fought from 1864 to 1870 between Paraguay and the Triple Alliance of Argentina, the Empire of Brazil, and Uruguay. With an estimated 400,000 deaths, the war was the deadliest and bloodiest in Latin America's history. It particularly devastated Paraguay, which suffered catastrophic losses in population - almost 70% of its adult male population died, according to some counts - and was forced to cede territory to Argentina and Brazil. According to some estimates, Paraguay's pre-war population of 525,000 was reduced to 221,000 of which only 28,000 were men
Literally fight to last men.

I get Finland but what have they done other than fighting the ruskies?

They didn't even fought overseas or conquered territories.

A minor European nation went on to control the largest empire the world has seen through naval supremacy.

>>31891938
France, England, United States, Malta, Israel

>>31891911

State an argument instead of posting funny niggers.

>>31891970
Most small countries haven't exactly gone out and conquered people overseas.

Unless you consider european powers kicking the shit out of third world people a few centuries ago an example of small countries being good, in which case it's going to be a gigantic list.

>>31891938

Greece has ancient history of kicking the shit out of Persians, and they did decent in WW2, though I guess facing Italy makes everyone look good. They didn't do that bad against Turkey given the size differences involved.

>with US's tax money any country can be competent

If this were the case we would have won Vietnam, and we wouldn't be doing nation building shit in Afghanistan and Iraq

>>31892010
ok, tiny country surrounded by retards that just gets help from other bigger countries that are actually competent. If they didn't have external assistance to set up and maintain their military they'd be fucked.

Different things, American pumping money into them and politically being an ally was the thing that kept them as state. not their capabilities to fight.

opinion discarded.
Israel won their independence war under US and western European embargoes.

They have won the 1956 and the six days war without any US support with mostly French and mix and match equipment.

The US only began substantial financial aid to Israel in the late 70's.

Your statements are factually incorrect.

Chile, they have never lost a war.

>>31892376
You make it seem like US aid was the only reason that Israel won those wars.

They also had pretty good locally made equipment, good training, good tactics, and smart military leadership.
The US aid was important but it was not the only important factor.

>>31892201
England is a country though. It is part of a unity.
Saying "England" is like saying the state of Texas, a state part of the united states.

>>31892587
exactly the oposite. The US had nothing to do with Israel winning all wars prior to 1973.
In 1973 the US played a pretty significant role in supplying the Israelis and deterring the Soviets from directly intervening. But then the Arabs were supplied 3x the amount of equipment Israel was mid war.

>>31892625
They were, Israel only started to use F-4 in the very late 60's early 70's.

The jets were hardly the only non american hardware. The main US made weapon system in Israeli use were battle tanks, still many others were French ones or modified captured T-55's.

At that point they had already taken over Poland. Russians had thousands of tanks, fires, bombers and fighters. Finns had none. They had wood chops for AT weaponry.

Dedication, smarts and fighting until till the last man, is what kept the murderous Russian menace from destroying a democratic country in the north.

Rwanda. Kagme is pretty competent leader, and rwandan troops despite being small and underequipped are trained to very high standard compared to their neighbours - and during congo wars they , literally murdersmashed their way through much stronger, more numerous and better equipped opponents.

We are talking about almost rhodesia levels of beatdown laid by small, but well trained forces of light infantry against dudes who outnumbered them by orders of magnitude, equipped with tanks, artillery and air support.

Ironicaly, Zimbabwe attemted to fireforce Rwandans rhodie-style, but after some initial succes , Rwandans adapted and murderfucked Zimbabwe fireforces and their helosin some preplanned ambushes.

The malts did swimming and attacked a few turks ona beach.

Not saying those That Did Fight weren't brave. Not saying that at all.

But there is a reason Dragut could enslave all of gozo with just a fraction of their numbers.

Fuck the malts, they need others to do 90% of their fighting.

Germany was never squeamish about invading neutral countries. Germany was never squeamish about invading notoriously difficult to invade countries. Yet tiny Switzerland, whose national pastimes are chocolate-making and democracy, managed to sit out the bloodiest war in the history of mankind surrounded on all sides by Axis or Axis-occupied countries.

Because their national pastimes also include mountain climing and shooting crap. They are the embodiment of "behind every blade of grass"

It's simply the ground where the motherfucking knight's did all of maltese people's (and europe's) work.

Iraq was not a competent army, they were just well funded

Read this:
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/report/1992/KRL.htm

The air defense systems they purchased from Russia were kept online by Russian tech support. When America took them out, it was very possible to repair them and restart their massive land based anti air capabilities. But America simply asked Russia to not do that. As a result, the Iraq army had no idea how to get them back online and were completely fucked. Overly reliant on foreign support.

That was 3000 press ganged maltese that were used for menial work, moving cannons, digging, sending messages and support related jobs, as they were NOT trained soldiers in the least. They weren't even armed or armored beyond hachets and daggers. The only offensive action of the maltese was 1 possibly 2 small unit actions against turk small boats and/or swimmers.

why must I be a turkroach to call the malts out for being cowards, capitulators, and crsdit thieves?

I doubt I'd love the knights and la valet if I was a turk, but whatever makes my cum easier to swallow, whorespawn.

Again, the population of fucking gozo was more than 5000 easy, but got rounded up by a ship's worth of corsairs because too scared to fight on their own.

>>31898072

That's fucking bullshit, they were flooded with M4 Shermans and M60 Pattons, hell during the Suez Crisis they had brand spanking new French equipment, AMX-13's, AMX-TT's and were early as fuck Mirage adopters.

>>31892625
Up until the 60's most of their shit was french or belgian, even the super shermans used french guns

>>31893070
This is partially true - Israel had a ton of M3 halftracks and shermans, M1 Carbines, and M1919 and M2 mg's.

Israel went heavily for French arms in the 50's and 60's because the US didn't have feasible modern export models, NATO members got priority and because of the imminent danger of shipping top of the line military tech to Israel only to have the KGB steal it.

I don't see a single source that says that the entirety of Malta took credit nor does most say the number were smaller. The reason that anon keeps calling you a turkroach is because they get extremely butt hurt about battles or wars they've lost. And the knight order there was a branch of the knights hospitaller called the Knights of Malta
>>31898096

Do you even remotely understand why it's called the United Kingdom? Like even a tiny little bit you fucking retard? Don't you read something a little odd and say "huh, Iwhy would they call themselves the UNITED kingdom if it's all one country?"

The UK is a unified government of the COUNTRY of England, the COUNTRY of Wales, the COUNTRY of Scotland, and wholly independent of the other Ireland COUNTRY of Northern Ireland.

Read some history you incredible faggot, they were all separate entities that were unified over time. But each retains its own lesser government all falling under the Parliament of the UK and ultimately the Crown.

How the fuck else could Scotland have been voting to leave the UK?

>>31898168
Motherfucker, the wiki article alone list 400 and 3000, check the sources their for the confliction.
This thread is about nation the can hold their own, and malta cannot.

the knights of malta as you call them were the knights of rhodes before that and the knights hospitallers of jerusalem even earliers, but none of that matters because those were informal titles. The shortest official name has always been the knight's of st. john.

Also, the island wasn't even officially hospitaller domain, the island belonged totally to spain and was leased to the knights (after the loss of rhodes) for the ceremonial fee of one maltese falcon per hear.

you only accuse me of being a turkroach because it is easier to insult me, you son of a whore, than to refute my points.

The points are again, malta doesn't defnd itself, and all the important conflicts were fought by non-maltese by the bulk.

I did assign the lion and lamb's share to these outsiders in the first post, and let you whorespawn keep the fish's share (as a joke since they only really contributed where swimming was involved).

>>31898229
Yes. All knight orders are like that.

>>31898261
No they're not. Tectonics were entirely from germanic areas, most in prussia/(modern)germany proper. Templars were mostly, if not entirely french. Both these orders, the 2 largest orders mind you as well, were headquartered in the lands their knights came from (not cou ting the holy lands they lost, of course).

Describing the hospitallers as a catholic proto nato is accurate and singular in the political landscape of the day.

>>31893070
I history m8.

>American assistance to Israel started the moment the country was created
False.
American embargo started the moment Israel was created.
Arms sales to Israel were forbidden during the Israeli independence war which lasted in the years of 1948 to 1949.
And so zero arms sales happened.

I wouldn't even bother mentioning aid.

>kicked into overdrive after 1967
Selling weapons is aid?
The amount of aid Israel started to receive after 1967 was miniscule compared in total numbers
Or compared the amount of aid other US allies which were on the fore front of communism were recieving (mostly complete with active US deployment).

Keeping the USSR in check in the ME via Israel was by far the most efficient use for IS money during the cold war.

>and then into the complete joke it is today in 1973.
Which is still less than the amount of aid we give to the Arabs/Muslims around Israel, per year. Not counting Iraq.

Oh, and it was not 1973, it was 1978.

1978, the year that the Israeli-US-Egyptian peace treaty was signed. The one where Egypt decided to ally with the US instead of USSR, effectively curbing USSR/Russian influence from the ME till the days Obama entered the white house.

A deal that was only possible through the Israeli forfeiting Sinai and forgoing the destruction of the Egyptian 3rd army.

A deal that also guaranteed over a billion $ aid per year to Egypt.

The difference between you and me is that I actually know more than once liner. That my knowledge is not based on memes and pictures, but is accurate and extensive. Allowing me to understand that context of an event.

You however are an easily brainwashed plebeian. In many other universes a small event would have caused you to get brainwashed in another way. There you are prancing in Hillary shirts, working for CTR.

Read what I said.
The embargo was in place during their INDEPENDENCE war.
That's 1948-1949.

The Suez crisis happened in 1957.

>The only embargoes on Israel was for certain specific military equipment which they just obtained by proxy anyway
Some were obtained by proxy, but most of the time, since we're not talking about top of the line equipment, the Israelis just got something similar instead, from a different country.

>>31898131
I didn't say the Israelis had no American tech prior to 1967.
Selling arms =/= aiding and supporting x. Especially when we're talking about old equipment.

Israel still had Shermans in active duty well into the 70's, to be finally decommissioned in the 80's.

Oh that makes sense. But before the AA network was taken out we lost a lot more aircraft than we care to admit.

>Using a combination of F-117 stealth attack aircraft,
Apache helicopter gunships, and standard suppression of enemy
air defense (SEAD) tactics, the Allies were able to put the
national-level command centers out of action within the first
two hours of the air war.

How many were lost in two hours? Lel.

>Intensive jamming of Iraqi radar-
guided AAA forced the gunners to fall back on optical
guidance; but, because the first attack took place on a
moonless night, this too proved ineffective. With the
national-level command and control centers wiped out, Iraqi
fighters were essentially useless. Allied aircraft were then
free to operate over Iraq at high and medium altitudes using
SEAD tactics to attack targets defended by the low-altitude
missiles and AAA. After the first night, the Iraqis were never
able to reconstitute their national-level system, either
because they did not have sufficient spare equipment sets or
else because they did not have the technical expertise to
develop work-arounds.

Lost control of the Gaza strip to Arabs
Jordan took territories

Israel traded the Sinai back for a peace deal after the war. They didn't lose it due to military conflict.
Jordan wasn't really party to the 1973 war. Gaza wasn't even a thing back then. They only gave it independence a decade ago.

>Lost Sinai to Egypt
False.
After the war all the Egyptians held was a narrow strip along the Suez canal.
Furthermore most of the forces on the eastern side were either surrounded or in the process of being surrounded.

The Israeli crossing of the canal destroyed the Egyptian AA network and so the Egyptians were stuck without supplied being pounded mercilessly from the air.

The Egyptians were so fucked that they were begging on their knees for the Soviets to come save them.

>Sadat, who had rejected the advice of the Soviet Union on October 12 to seek a ceasefire, and who continued to reject that advice until, too late, he accepted it on October 19, now found himself begging for Soviet help.

>During the early hours of October 24, six Soviet airborne divisions were put on alert and Soviet Premier Brezhnev sent President Nixon what amounted to an ultimatum. Under pressure from the United States, Israel accepted another ceasefire from October 24.

>Lost control of the Gaza strip to Arabs
huh? I can't even fathom the delusion that motivated you to typr this. Israel left Gaza in 2005.

>Jordan took territories
The Jordanian Israeli border never saw combat. The Jordanians only joined the war when the Israelis were on the verge of rolling into Damascus, by sending armor into Syria.

>Golan heights still in fucked up situation
The Israelis turned and rolled back the massive surprise Syrian offensive back in all of three days.
It took the combined mite of the Jordanians and the Iraqis sending forces just to slow the Israeli advance and give Assad the breathing time to reorganize.

>You've got your ass kicked, Kike.
>because we were so close to annex the whole shit.

Here is what the Egyptian commander in Chief had to say about the war:

>A meeting of the Armed Forces Supreme Council, the first since the outbreak of war. ...The main topic was, of course, how to open the road to Third Army. But though everyone spoke with passion, nobody could come up with a realistic plan.

>And after. On October 30, when the plight of Third Army was desperate, the Egyptian newspapers appeared with banner headlines: "Our forces are in complete control of the West Bank of the Canal between Deversoir and Suez Town" and: "The Third Army is Receiving Supplies in the Normal Fashion." The whole world was being told of the encirclement of Third Army except the wives, mothers, sisters and sweethearts of the men suffering out there. Of course, rumors began to circulate. It was a catastrophe too big to hide.

>I had lost almost 11 pounds in six weeks. But how could I relax while the 45,000 officers and men of Third Army were cut off?

On these forums it's often asked why do Arabs suck at war.
You have a living a breathing example in this very thread. They refuse to learn from their mistakes.
They refuse to acknowledge their mistakes even.

How could they ever improve?

As a Hungarian descendant, I have to mention Hungary.
They held those Turks for about 150 years. It was a broken country for a while after though. Small population.
Years later, in WW2, Hitler himself, referred to the battalion my grandfather fought in, (St Laszlo's Battalion) and said "You are better than my own best men."
In 1956, we got those Bolsheviks in full panic mode, as we kicked all the Russians out of our country. (Until they turned up with over 3000 t-54s.)

Besides Hungary, our Finnish brothers managed to fight the Bolsheviks in WW2 hard enough for them to call it a draw. (Of sorts.)

Direct loans and guarantees of around $135 million were issued by the US to Israel directly after the War of Independence, which would be something like 1.3 billion dollars in today's currency for a country that at time was less than a million people. That's just the start. I

Military assistance started rolling in 1959.

Selling weapons isn't aid, but giving them away sure as shit is, which is exactly what we've been doing.

>Which is still less than the amount of aid we give to the Arabs/Muslims around Israel, per year. Not counting Iraq

We shouldn't be giving money to any of them, but for the sake of discussion, the country of eight million receives slightly less than the surrounding hundred million people, despite being a developed nation.

>Oh, and it was not 1973, it was 1978.
No, we've been very consistently providing ~2 billion in aid to Israel from 1973-1985 where it jumped to ~3.

But no, please, go ahead and accuse me of being CTR.
