oh no

@Khat Emperor yeah, they couldn't f****** figure out where the Border should be

Stupid Middle East with its lack of cleared Geographic boundaries

And then people wonder why Syria and Iraq or a f****** mess

Because they're savages.

no, that's the fault of colonialism. they drew borders on maps instead like Europe with sword and blood

@Bird Wizard true that's where the modern borders are, but trying to make a genuine borders would be nigh impossible.

yep, that's why they need a period of slaughter to properly draw borders

Truth is, besides the original Mesopotamian civilization, Iraq and Syria I've always been owned by either Anatolia, Persia, Arabia, or Egypt

Glass. The. Desert.

gay

or macedonia

thisincludesbosnians

@Bird Wizard I'm counting European powers as Anatolia

we wuz kangz

Since they had to go through Anatolia anyways

balkan power

Oh the Balkans, the Afghanistan of Europe

difference

Albanians=inbred

Well, from a Geographic point of view anyway

balkans actually got conquered on more than 1 occassion

no one except the mongols was able to touch afghanistan

not the british empire, not the soviets, and not america

That's not true. Afghanistan has been conquered plenty of times throughout history, the problem has always been asserting authority over the tribes.

but we are probbaly just there for opium

@PunishedMuskovy there is a difference between Total Conquest and simply exerting control over the area, you can conquer the valleys, but the hills are practically unconquerable

@εïз irma εïз omg leave

It's just a meme for pseudointellectual armchair historians to circlejerk over.

afghanistan is a death trap while balkans is furtile land

America didn't do half bad in Afganistan

Miguel did you ever deadlift more than 50 pounds?

yes

I agree with the dumb Cath on the Afghani shit being a circlejerk

I did 300 @εïз irma εïз

i remember seeing something about how Alexander met his end in afghanistan

@Huff we are able to exert control, but the Taliban will never truly be rooted out, by us anyway

or afghanistan was the one thing he couldnt beat
