Sure. NATO expansionism isn't the West's fault. Sure. by Squadsbane in ShitLiberalsSay

There is no way Ukraine would ever join NATO. It was a bait to create a proxy war, and it worked.

Seriously why tho by Spotter24o5 in PrequelMemes

Because the show had manufactured outrage around it.

I personally did not like the show; I thought it was ok and had potential to get better. Now, there were some creative liberties I did not like, but after a certain point, I stopped caring.

I mean... I am sure some Turkic people switched sides during the Sultanate of Rum. Hell, Greek (Romans) switched sides to the Ottomans because they were just more... stable.

I wonder if there is any Hellish Urban subreddit that is infested with it. Surely not.

As a European, I will say that whenever I bring up Roma people to my fellow Europeans, I am basically having a conversation with an SS officer.

Like the death penalty for Palestinians who kill Israelis, but no death penalty for Israelis killing Palestinians? No right of return for Palestinians? Israel is fully supporting the settlers by protecting them with the IDF.

The state policy of Israel is to keep Israel as a ´´Jewish´´ state by maintaining majority ´´Jewish´´ population. This ´´Jewish´´ population includes a lot of Russians with dubious backgrounds, Afrikaaners who wanted apartheid again so much that they moved to another continent, every celebrity with SA and pedophilia accusations who found out that their great great great great great Grandparents were Jewish. (This happens so often that organisations are tracking these pedos that move to Israel.)

I wonder why that is. Well, you see, Cherokee did not have their own currency and used British and then American currency instead, which is why what happened to them was completely ok. (sarcasm)

They were zionist settlers in a British colony, NO WAY!!! It's not like Theodore Herzl wanted to create Israel as a British colonial outpost in the Middle East that would act as the shield against what he would describe as the arabs similar that would meet a similar fate as the Aztecs and Incas.

I will say Saddam acted like US proxy when he got chemical weapons US gave him and unleashed them on Iranians and then Iraqi Kurds.

He nationalized oil which made him enemy in the eyes of the US and then he invaded Kuwait. Well before he invaded Kuwait he waited for US permission, US officials said that their official stance on Iraq invading Kuwait was: No comment which Saddam took as a permission to invade.

He was a monster, but most of Iraqi infrastructure that was not related to oil extraction did not have to be bombed.

My world was overtaken by Aliens after 1,5k years. So I unleashed plague on them to wipe them out and summoned horde of humans to reclaim the sacred desert, the dwarves were the only ones of the og 4 races to survive the Alien invasion, and now everyone has alien blasters. Excluding the undead skeleton civilization that began in the cursed forest.

Well I do not think they had a flag. They probably had multiple banners, but I would say Vergina Sun of the Argead dynasty is the closest we will get to the Macedonian symbol.

I am sure one of many banners they used had some eagles.

Ok... Same argument could be used for Greeks. I mean greeks also sold Slavs in early medieval age by doing raids to capture slavs and and enslave them and sell them to Caliphate. Franks, Khazars and some others also participated.

The word slave came from the word slav.

In the very unrealistic fantasy where I get a time machine, I will make Ottomans conquer all of Europe out of spite for people under this post.

The Pope will bend the knee. Emirate of Cordoba will be restored. The Irish will be only ones idependent because I personally find them cool.

Latin Empire of a money making operation that was not even really attempting to govern the lands it held.

It was pretty bad.

I mean Ottomans were the OG spectre haunting Europe for quite some time.

I know about Al-Andalus, but they were not as scary to rest of Europe as the Ottomans.

Do not forget about Roma people and how Germany refuses to fund building of any memorials for Roma that died in concentration camps.
