‘To win without fighting is best’ - Sun Tzu
🚨 BREAKING Iran has been given just 2 hours After that, the world could witness one of the most devastating airstrikes ever. No more warnings. No more delays. The countdown has begun.

I remember renting an apartment in being in Barcelona for a month just feeling the vibe of the city. The Sagrada Familia always felt like the heart of it all
After more than a century of construction, La Sagrada Família reached another milestone on 10 June 2026 when the Tower of Jesus Christ was lit for the first time

I would argue Cleveland to Denver - there’s a reason people fly over this
The most "boring" drive between two American cities: Denver to Kansas City, MO.

I guess it depends on who is doing the naming
The renaming of Constantinople to Istanbul has to be one of the biggest downgrades of all time

Such a beautiful illustration - wonder if this was from a manuscript with others
The illustration of the Battle of the Lagoon of La Janda in 711, pitting the Umayyads against King Roderic, by Santi Pérez.

I’ve always felt civilizations are in a sense like biology where survival is the exception and extinction is the rule
Imagine reaching this level of world domination, then giving it all away

How they figured out you needed a 3% down grade (I believe) is amazing

Such an awesome mosaic !
It is very epic that there is a mosaic depiction of Constantinople in the neo-Byzantine Westminster Cathedral in London.

I’m curious why it took the Germans so long to figure out the concept of sloped armor? Russians got it from the start
Relatively rare German Flakpanzer IV "Möbelwagen" SPAAG of which only 240 were manufactured accompanying Panther tanks on the move near Lunéville circa September 1944

To be fair, the soviets were doing this to their own troops too

We got a long ways to go for that - with any luck we don’t kill ourselves before we get there

They melted this down to make cannonballs no? Some would say this was the first time Justinian saw battle
The Column of Justinian (left) and the Column of Leo (right), two monumental columns in Constantinople that did not survive to modern times.

I bet I could name a few better ;)
GENIOS MILITARES En un top jamás pueden estar Rommel, Montgomery o Patton, no dan la talla ni siquiera en sus propias guerras para ser considerados los mejores. Tengo cierto sesgo occidental pero es más por ignorancia, me falta estudiar a profundidad las campañas de los grandes generales chinos. Napoleón reúne y condensa todas las cualidades de todos los generales anteriores a él y anticipa todo lo que vendrá después.
