why were the men of history such heroes compared to us
War
just read a bit about the byzantine-persian wars
i've read about them before but was reminded again
it's crazy how brave soldiers and rulers were back then
and how ready they were to die for God and country
Yeah, War was profitable.
it's not just about profits
the politicians of that time weren't like they were today
Its about war lmao
this war in particular is interesting because byzantium was almost destroyed
Profit is q new concept
cant deny killing and raping was fun
Confort IS a New concept aswell
Back in the day people cared for things bigger than them generally

Lemme find a quote by some mongols
emperor heraclius took the treasury of constantinople on a ship and sent it to north africa, planning to move there because he was scared for his life
but the bishop of constantinople convinced him to stay because it's his divine duty to protect the city
and he managed to defeat the persians
So, as the Great Khan said:
“Given that cooperation is not preferable or possible, and serfdom and slavery are costly, that leaves decimation, or rule for the maximization of profit.”
fuck the great khan
He's right
“We might prefer the former or the latter. However the enemy would undoubtedly prefer separation to decimation or rule under out maximization of profit. And this is the wise choice. Since we can still cooperate indirectly by trade while having no influence over one another within the same polity.”
Russian airstrike has killed two turkish soldiers
thank you Russia
Theoretically this could activate NATO @OrthoGoat
im happy that the turks are getting hit
im not a big fan of them
it would be interesting to see WW3 tho
I'm not a big fan of Turks either, yet I'm quite troubled with Russian behavior. They act like they're friends with Turkey, while they're really not. What's for sure is that Turkey must be kicked out of NATO and be put in its place by the UN.
thoughts on him?

noooooo muh white race
@Draško "He branded every sort of anti-Judaism unchristian. He further urged liberal Christians and Jews to ally in protecting both of their religions,"
Sounds pretty based to me
God bless israel
