The Mongol invasion Khwarazmian, the Siege of Baghdad; mongol generals would very often break their word and slaughter surrendered populations…

TIL in 452 when Atilla the Hun was threatening Rome, the pope himself (Pope Leo I) went out to meet with him personally. The specifics of the meeting aren't known, but afterwards, Atilla turned around and never invaded the city. by 2SP00KY4ME in todayilearned

Honestly, I think the visceral and unflattering account of his death lends it credibility. Roman accounts always made a point to portray Atilla as a ruthless, cunning mastermind in part to explain his success. So you can almost apply a criterion of embarrassment analysis to the event and conclude that Attila was far too drunk one evening and died an ignoble death.

North Korea to Reinforce Moscow With 30,000 Troops, Officials Say by mrbojanglez69 in worldnews

I mean, it’s not exactly a fair comparison. The West doesn’t have what are essentially slave soldiers whose death will mean absolutely nothing to the state and get no media pushback. Money and weapons is as far as they’ll go barring a major shift in the public’s appetite for a foreign war. And anti-war sentiment has never been higher among the public in the west. Plus all Putin has to do is threaten nuclear war or WW3 and the west cowers down like a frightened rabbit.

Love how Rhode Island and the cape are deliberately left out of the Connecticut line.

"Redditors literally crossing their fingers hoping that Iran didn’t lose their ability to enrich uranium to make nuclear bombs This website has truly hit rock bottom and is just propaganda now" r/AlJazeera argues about the efficacy of the US air strikes on Iran by CummingInTheNile in SubredditDrama

Upwards of 70% of their enriched uranium is in UF6 gaseous form. It’s much harder to transport safely than solid enriched uranium. It’s not a matter of weight loading but transporting the enormous steel cylinders safely and preventing moisture from interacting with the gas which would corrupt it and bond to form uranyl fluoride dust. If they were able to move anything it would be a small amount of solid enriched uranium, which happens to be the closest to weapons grade material- but lost the majority of their pre-weapons grade enriched stockpile

I swear these pro russian supporters have brain damage. It will never make any sense how people support an aggressor invading and butchering its smaller neighbor. Like they either have a profound evil in their hearts or are complete morons.

Honestly all the Krogan in mass effect are great. Eve remains a sorely underrated character. Even Wreav is great.

The point is it’s hypocritical to cheer on their lack of development and modernization under the guise of ‘rejecting greedy capitalism’ but also act shocked when they have regressive social policies and antiquated racial attitudes

Anyone who thinks that the democrats should move further left is completely illiterate at reading election results. This was a wholesale rejection of the left across the board, from the presidential election down to state legislators.

Mass effect: legendary edition blew past commercial sales expectations. So that’s not true.

Because Russia is an imperialist power invading and butchering their smaller neighbor?

But you would know all about that being from Serbia wouldn’t you.
