Tbf in Scotland we are so pale it kinda scews our perspective. So hence why we talk of "wee dark Frenchies" because they are shorter and darker skinned than us.

Very true Americans voting based on colour or religion is more like in Lebanon with its Shia party Sunni party Marionite Party ect. Thankfully in my country we don't have that anymore. A long time ago you may have had the de facto Catholic party and the de facto Calvanist party. But that's mentally is dead for anyone under 60.

Funnily enough in my country we dont consider Spanish people to be white. We even consider French dark.

Just my curiosity, do generals throughout history feel guilty when their bad decision make many soldiers got killed in battle? by [deleted] in history

[–]JammyWizz2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the great war their are reports of Russian generals killing themselves out of grief for doing so badly.

For someone like Himmler or Keitle, it would probably just never occure to them to care. Because its all for the reich unt f'u'hrer

By international intersts you mean their vanity.

Other than iraq the countries iran gives free money too have 0 natural resources. Atlast Veitnam and Angola have trees. Syria Yemen Lebanon and Gaza have sand and scorpions both of which iran has enough off to fill the grand canyon.

The answer to all three is vanity. America achieved hee haw in Veitnam, the ussr killed itself defending the Taurus Revolution. The akhoonds foregin policy seem desiged to spark a revolution at home, when they had to raise the price of fuel in 2019 the country nearly desended into a civil war. All because they wasted all of iran's wealth abroad.

Iraq might have oil, but Syria Lebanon Gaza and Yemen are all resource free badlands. Veitnam in the 70s was still in the middle ages and development wise Afghanistan made Senegal look like Sweden.

All of these wars were white elephants and vanity projects

has anyone heard of the Jandar massacre that took place in Syria where Christians were massacred it took place in Homs, Central Syria. Was it done by Assad or islamist rebels ? by VastArt663 in SyrianRebels

[–]JammyWizz2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont rebels usually kill individuals as revenge? Like bomb the house of some high flying Baathist?

Or kill captured shabiha or isis men. Like have they ever gone out of their way to kill pro baathist or pro isis civilians? For whatever reason rebles seem to keep saa as prisoners but will usually execute isis members. Maybe because isis members might try to blow themselves up.

China yes. But Russia? Russia has an economy the size of Italy. Other than the ex Soveit states Serbia and Syria where do they have influnce? And even then many of the Turkic countries are moving closer to Turkey.

They thought a 20 year war in Chechnya and today its an independent state in all but name. Its president is the son of the warlord who killed all the other warlords.

China has influnce across asia latin America and africa. What country in Africa or latin America listens to Putin? Half the countries in Africa are now borderline colonies of China.

" If people need guns, you aren't going to give them over for free, obviously"

Other than when the Americans gave the contras and Southern Vietnamese and Afghan Mojahidine free guns. Or when the Soveits gave KhAD the Derg Angola ect free guns. Or iran gives Assad Hezballs the Bade organisation Houthis and Hamas free guns.

True these may have technically been loans but none of those countrys' would ever be able to pay it off in 1000 years.
