    The distance covered is mighty long plane ride today. Its like they had little resistance. He did impregnate that entire area as well. Is it 1 in every 4 persons today have his bloodlines in them in that area. Insane.

    Definitely badass. They gave birth to the Mongolics and the Mongoloids.

    fyi, the next evolution of this series of threads is a trump supporter making an appreciation thread for nazis or the like. ISH is very predictable.
    We have restaurants named after him and nobody gets triggered.

    We have a guy making a thread praising communism.

    I wasn't implying this thread was offensive, moreso that some members like to exchange indirect diggs at each other and that involves taking something like this thread to an extreme (i.e. starface suggestimg segregation or shogun suggesting a berlin wall in the US).

    But yeah, rr3 is totally trolling patrick with that lol. At least i hope so. Patrick is cuban i believe, so rrr3 is trying to strike a nerve.

    The Mongols had the GOAT cavalry but all their flanking and open field tactics were useless vs the fortified defensive positions of The White Boys.

    A lot of Mongol and Chinese historical record doesn't stand up to scrutiny. The numbers are almost certainly exaggerated when you dig into what the human populations likely were.

    On top of that, Chinese battles are always absurd like "an army of 500 defeated an army of 200,000 and executed all the survivors".
