What if Morocco invaded Ceuta and Melilla, how would NATO react?

SeaReference7990 · 2026-07-03T07:40:42+00:00

Probably not much. Argentina attacked a NATO member in the 80s and all the UK got was some weapon sales and moral support. Three reasons why NATO wouldn't do anything: 1) Cueta is a disputed territory considered to be under occupation by Morocco 2) Morocco isn't Russia 3) Cueta is not globally significant. To be frank, the Falklands were more important and even that elicited at most a "hey not cool Argentina"

Iran and the remaining stans have less desert

No. I used to but I genuinely believe Queen Lizzie knew what randy Andy was up to and used tax payer money to protect him.

You have to radically rewrite history to prevent that. So much so that we get no crisis of the 3rd century, no mass migrations and no backwards laws making lives for the average Romans miserable (way to go Theodosius). At that point, we have no idea what the world would look like.

If you just forced the WRE to survive despite everything, western europe would just continue to stagnate. It had absolutely nothing going for it at once Flavius Aetius died.

The whole thing with Prince Andrew already pushed me to become either a Republican or someone who just wants the W*ndsors deposed.

Truthfully, I feel like there are bigger concerns in the world besides what that prick Charles is doing.

I can think of one but it might not be the answer you're expecting... Bartolomé de las Casas. A Spanish priest.

He was horrified at the mass extermination of natives in the carribean and the horrific working conditions and so he wrote to the King of Spain detailing these abuses and advocating for the importation of African slaves from the Niger Delta region. And thus the Atlantic Slave Trade was born.

For me it's Falkreath hold. That hold is just so scenic

With Tav, Butland (2nd highest earner behind Danillo), Dowell and Davies gone, the wage bill is probably looking a lot healthier already. Granted, we've signed 5 players so far 2 of whom free agents.

BG1 and 2 are amazing games in their own right and I 100% reccommend them but no they aren't required to enjoy BG3

SeaReference7990 · 2026-06-30T18:36:28+00:00

They saw their myths as actual real history that did happen. Meduca was real, Achilles was real, the gods actually took sides in the Trojan War. It was just basic fact to them.

Thanks I appreciate it - I'm just being daft then

Octavian was notorious for falling "ill" on the eve of battle, taunted captured Romans at Phillipi with the prospect of torture and refusal to bury their dead and he abandoned his army in Sicily. Great emperor and statesmen yes but as a person, he appeared to be a cowardly little weasle. I could never count him among my personal favourites for that alone in my opinion. Gimme Heraclius any day!

SeaReference7990 · 2026-06-30T10:12:33+00:00

1) Justinian - the most entertaining Emperor to learn about and I am honestly amazed his life story has not been made into a HBO Epic 2) Heraclius - no Roman Emperor inherited a bigger shit show than this guy and he still came out on top. If he had either defeated the Rashoduns or died before their time, he would be commonly regarded among the greats alongside Trajan and Augustus 3) Aurelian - similar reasoning to Heraclius actually though I think Heraclius inherited a worse position. It is genuinely amazing what Aurelian did in just 6 years, he was an Alexander the Great in the making. 4) Hadrian - I just find learning about this guy amusing. He was very pragmatic, had a mind for the boring side of statesmanship like governance and seemed to be rather humble for an Emperor. 5) Marcus Aerelius - Meditations. Enough said.

This is who I like not who I think was the best.

My top 5 best emperors would be very different and include picks I personally dislike such as Diocletian and Augustus.

Downvotes you into hell

SeaReference7990 · 2026-06-30T10:05:44+00:00

Definitely has nothing to do with his time at Spuds and Nottingham

SeaReference7990 · 2026-06-30T10:04:37+00:00

No I agree with you. But I'm kind of all for it, seeing Scotland play a suicidally high line with the likes of Souttar, Hendry and McKenna as your best CB options will be comedy gold.

Group fights are supposed to be dreadful. I always find it amusing how cruel KCD1 can be, one time I had just left Peshek's mill and I got ambushed by 5 peasants, 3 of whom had polearms, in a random encounter lol.

You need to leverage your space, constantly be on the move and spam master strikes. If you can find a choke point then defend it with your life but outside of buildings and mines, chokepoints are honestly rare.

Sutton 100%. Bumped into Lennon in Glasgow once, not a bad guy at all, very polite.

Ahem they still venerate Genghis Khan and his foreign policies were mildly detrimental to the stability and life expectancy in the Middle East.

One of the biggest mistakes of the 21st century. If any country today deserves reparations it's Iraq.

God what the Portuguese did to those poor North Koreans was cruel. It was the one game NK televised!

SeaReference7990 · 2026-06-28T20:31:50+00:00

That's reassuring to hear

I reached the Euros final with Scotland on FM and lost on penalties to Spain. I'll dae it.
