Topic: What’s your opinion on Napoleon?
Anonymous A started this discussion 3 weeks ago #137,342
He seems like sort of a one off thing. I can’t really think of another guy who did something similar. I can think of several people who were like Hitler.

I guess he seems like he was an ambitious go-getter type, except he expended that energy on killing people, escaping prison, then killing more people, then getting caught again. On a grand scale, he was the emperor, but that’s basically what he did though. If you think about it.

Eh, I’d have to disagree. It seems like Napoleon was a little bit better at winning wars.

Here we can see what Napoleon had going on, there’s France, some allied countries, some enemy countries. But really he was getting stuff done in Europe carving things out.Anonymous A (OP) triple-posted this 3 weeks ago, 36 seconds later, 8 minutes after the original post[^] [v] #1,455,161
Now if we look at Trump in Iran, in green here you can see the territory that Trump has so far managed to conquer in Iran.Anonymous A (OP) quadruple-posted this 3 weeks ago, 7 minutes later, 15 minutes after the original post[^] [v] #1,455,162
But it’s okay. No you see, modern wars are different. For thousands of years the logic was you had to use troops on the ground to take territory. But Trump is actually smart. You see, in World War Two, we realized we had to draft people to fight a ground war to defeat Germany. In Vietnam, we realized that actually, you don’t need to take the land in order to win a war. You can just let the communists have all the land, actually, and still draft people to do that. Then in the war on terror, Bush and Obama took it a step further and came up with the brilliant idea that you can actually let the Taliban take all the territory and not draft anybody at all, and still win the war. Now Trump comes along and takes it one step further, you see the genius of Trump is he has figured out that America is so powerful we can win a war without drafting anyone, without taking any territory, without even sending in professional volunteer soldiers in, we can win just through the power of shitposting on the internet.

@OP
François Carlo Antommarchi, the doctor conducting the autopsy, cut his penis off.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon%27s_penis
The penis went on display in 1927 at New York City's Museum of French Art. A reviewer present at the exhibition from Time described it as similar to a "maltreated strip of buckskin shoelace". Others present considered it to look like a "piece of leather or a shriveled eel"
His daughter, who inherited it upon his death, was offered at least $100,000 for it
While its size in life is unknown, a documentary that aired on Channel 4, Dead Famous DNA, described the current item as "very small" and measured it to be 3.8 centimetres (1.5 in).
OK to be fair that of course was Flaccid and for all we know he may have been a grower NOT a shower.

Napoleon was a brilliant innovator and logistician. He had some glaring failures, like trying to keep Britain out of Europe, the Peninsular Campaign and the invasion of Russia (20% of his force gone while staging in Poland due to typhoid).
He’s a standout because he stood for his own ego and ambition. Everyone else stood for a tribe and movement. Napoleonic Code, standard weights and measures, reorganizing petty states of Europe. There’s a big legacy.
Kicking off German nationalism probably goes in the lose column.

> You opinion about his micro penis?
Have you ever made jerky at home? Desiccated meat shrinks. I haven’t made dick jerky, but it’s mostly “hollow” for blood flow. Regardless, he probably wasn’t packing a monster.

> You mock him, but those Truth Social posts are hitting Tehran like nukes.
It’s like when you’re a 13 year old and you think you’re being edgy by saying you’re going to destroy civilization on Twitter, but then the president is an 80 year old and does it except he actually has nukes, except he doesn’t follow through, which actually makes it more pathetic somehow.

And you know, Iran isn’t great. But maybe when you have a bunch of evangelical nuts who want a war in the Middle East to end the world and kill half the Jews so that Jesus can return and convert the other half of the Jews that live to Christianity and we can all be cast off to heaven as martyrs, maybe that’s not when you start talking about destroying civilizations. Maybe you don’t do that.

It’s a creepy and bizarre religious fanaticism. But Israelis don’t believe it and enjoy the largesse, so winning?
