the guy carving a mountain was such a tear jerker

I read every post thanks ice

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. :/

im serious

Yeah, I really like reading these question/articles.

I only found 2 idiotic:the one portraying the religious spainards as good guys beating thousands of Indians(which was bs they had a lot of help, better weapons and the bible part was most likely bs)and the Cuban missile crisis was trash where we felt we had the right to put missiles in turkey but they couldn't defend themselves in cuba im actually intested in @FuzzyBlueBaron opinion though

Link me to said stories and I can comment. Hard to find them without reading through hem all (which, tbh, I don't have time for :/).

Oh chet, I tried to link the answer I found, instead it linked the entire question.

Doesn't matter anyways, the one I was trying to show him was the first one.

Get the link from the posted date. A la: http://grab.by/FBgs

the other one I cant seem to find but I remember it not bringing up the fact that American put missiles in turkey before Russia tried to counter with missiles in cuba

Gripping? I guess so? Although not particularly well written, imho. A worthy story? Only from the angle of being a prime example of psychological warfare on the battlefield.

Other than that, it's basically a recounting of how a bunch of guys with superior weaponry and a paper thin excuse (even if the bible bit is true; it's still shit-tier application of Christian theology) began the destruction of an entire civilization that could have been engaged with on peaceful terms.

Re: Cuba--

I haven't heard anything about Turkey; but tbh it wouldn't surprise me. The first rule in aggressive foreign policy (as practised by the US for aaaages now; also practised by the USSR at the time and currently practised by Russia under Putin) is to hold your opponents to unfair standards you personally ignore. Classic expansionist BS that both sides of the Cold War perpetrated (and still do, tbh).

it isn't as well known fuzzy but its true(the missile part)

also they didn't win by themselves they had several tribes of the Indians enemies on their side

Wasn't questioning whether it was true (I believe you); just haven't studied it myself.

And yeah, that (several tribes of the Indians enemies on their side) sounds more plausible than 160-odd guys beating up 6000 warriors-- even with the horses and their superior weapons, there's no way you could pull that kind of shit off without either back up or, as the Bristish proved vs the Zulu, fully automatic weapons.
