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

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
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
We need a justification for terminating the alliance with Israel. Kicking them out of an alliance will irreparably harm our reputation.
If we get a Rand Paul style guy in charge who wants to shrink the foreign aid budget, and Israel throws a very public kvetching over lowering their aid, we would be able to raise awareness. If they did something stupid like fake a terror attack by mulsims on us in order to make us join them in a war, that would be reason enough to terminate an alliance
Tbh the Trump admin is already taking the most practical steps to distance the US from Israeli foreign policy, they've allowed the Russians to build naval bases in Egypt and Syria, making any large scale intervention in Syria impractical
Like how would 100,000 US troops get there if the sea route is cut off and the strait of Hormuz cut off, they'd have to land in Europe and travel through Turkey, invading from the North, gibing the Russians weeks if not months notice of a troop buildup
good point
Remembering of course that Romania and Bulgaria's PM are pro Russian,so the Russians could easily draw a Rubicon in the Balkans and prevent a US army from even getting to Turkey without starting a war in Europe, there's literally no way to hide that you're moving an army when everyone has a camera phone
