My deepest condolences Turan
Turan?
The Bulgars were a steppe Turanid people before they were Slavicised
"Whiter than you Ching chong"
Haven't met a Bulgar before
Well the ones that went to the Danube river BULGAR'D the slavs there, but they quickly formed one nation so they would be stronger against the Byzantines
But the mixing was equal I guess because of the relative population
Nobody in Europe actually cares about someone having 5% steppe DNA its only Burgers that do really
Others went and founded Volga Bulgaria, some even went to italy. Each were led by one of Kubrat's sons
In the past Slavs were sometimes regarded as Asiatics tho
fun fact: Bulgars are one of the first enemies of the khazars
It was the Khazars who forced them to migrate in the first place iirc
yeh and the golden horde I think
basically they just desided to pack everything and move instead of dying by fighting 2-3 fronts
Wise

Has there been any more developments on the Syria story? Do we have more info on the chemical attack? Have there been any more strikes/retaliations? Sources? @here
What do you mean we can't just bomb people?
I think this is a good point to expose the neocons. They want to imagine that Assad is Sadam
They are trying to make Assad seem unbelievably evil, but there is no evidence. We know about how evil Hussein was (look up his public 1979 purge).
They are over extended and this is a uge moment for us to hit them.
Doubt there'll be anything major
My only worry is that Trump and Macron have promised severe action.
Im not saying Trump is cucking or anything, but there are more interests at work than just Trump
>politicians
>promised
There aren't really, he's the commander in chief
I mean political forces and deep state forces that are maneuvering to tie his hands
We've already seen situations where Trump has had to yield because his hands were tied (Omnibus bill)
Yeah but military action is entirely within the purview of the President whereas budgets aren't
I understand that, but nothing happens in a vacuum
Normies are waking up
Honestly the US alliance with Israel is absurd, it basically makes it extremely difficult for Islamic countries to make deals with the US
It hasn't hindered the Saudis 🙃
It actually has
They have to play a balancing act with their own populace
We need someone who isn't explicitly anti Israel to take power who will use an excuse to cut aid to Israel. They will retaliate in an obscene way, which would give us an excuse to register AIPAC as a foreign lobbying firm
If the US weren't aligned with a weak nation of 15 million Jews then they'd have been able to turn Saudi into the regional hegemon decades ago
And hopefully Israel would continue to escalate until we could end the alliance
It's not even 15 million Jews. Its 6 million joos and a few million muslims
