Hezbollah confirmed it, he’s really dead.

Yes, it was upgrade of khopesh.

Well i’m not one of them.

Yeah that’s literally 2 clicks from the basest of searches:

(Hokien, Hakka, Matsu and Wuqiu are some of very many southern languages of Chinese, and Formosan is the Austronesian group of languages spoken by indingenous population)

Because they are sucked to the same boot.

It was probably inspired by Egyptian khopesh since it was used in Ethiopia even before the kingdom of Axum. Thing is, the blade is sharp on both sides. So you could either use its inner side as big sickle to reach around enemy shield and try for the weak spots like neck, face or armpits, or if the enemy didn’t had a shield you could turn it to outer side and in this case it was similar to Persian shamshir in being excellent weapon against unarmored opponents.

Two more interesting thing about it was 1: the designs varies greatly, most were shorter and wider, the curvature also varied; and 2: it apparently worked quite well considering it has been in use for possibly over 2500 years and some Ethiopian emperors even organised special elite units wielding it.

It do looks longer than it is because of proportions. It’s very thin and the handle is pretty short compared to European blades because the blade is also very light so it don’t need much counterweight.

Blade is around 1 meter long.

I imagine Russia would

Start a hot war against USA in the central Atlantic? Pentagon would go ballistic, as in “ballistic missiles”, and even if the war stayed conventional, Russian navy would be in a huge disadvantage there.

Sword but very curved and yet not very famous (Ethiopian shotel)

During the Cold War there was a chance USSR would intervene. Who would intervene right now?

37 people didn’t

They can also use their navy to make a full blockade.

Can’t find it unfortunately

Holy fucking shit, i know she was a neonazi but turns out she’s real deal hitlerite. Greens are just fucking browns.

Few days ago there was thread how yuppies are getting on hallucinogens and this cause them to see the grift and stop being yuppies.

Dems? None, but Trump could get some lazy rep hawks to vote harping on how dems are incompetent at imperialism and he would be better. After all elections in US are usually decided not by % of supporters but who mobilises their voters better to move their butts to booth.

I mean Ukraine “victory” plan is, depending on version, either: a) The same as usual, that is unconditional surrender of Russia, which obviously won’t happen; b) Ostensibly the same but aimed at excusing themselves before the west from starting the actual peace negotiations; c) Manufacturing conditions for open NATO intervention

None of those is something that would impress US, but they will likely go with a) because collapse right now would be a political bomb and after elections it would be something entirely different regardless of who wins (like Afghanistan proven, nobody in US even remember that rout now).
