and have lots of the best weapons you can get.

and that's not even actually that hard for anyone with elementary highschool chemistry. birdshit (keep pigeons) charcoal (build a charcoal kiln, it has many uses not the least of which cooking) and sulphur (which is used to inhibit mold on brassicas). voila, make appropriate devices, probably need to find some magnesium. well, aluminium and iron filings will work, just need some goop to stick it to some cord.

uh oh, i just told you a bomb recipe!

trebuches are pretty easy to make too, just rot down some animal carcasses, and voila, bring all the dirty varmints with diseases to the party.

what else is there. hmm. see, those indians needed science. that's how the relatively peaceful europe produced conquerors.

and yeah, as sun tzu explains, using unconventional warfare techniques to acquire weapons from the armories of the enemies is the correct way to do it. stealth, distractions, most important is scouts, you need scouts creeping around as close to the enemy as possible and relaying that information as quickly as possible to the planners.

also, it really reinforces the point. you can win with soft war and unconventional techniques, under some circumstances, but generally, when that fails, you have to have blades, projectiles and incendiaries, and men trained to use them, as well as men trained to make them.

there is no way to overthrow a dictatorship without breaking some eggs, burning some houses down and knocking down bridges.

after reading the book Hair of the Alien, in which it describes the results of using PCR on carefully treated samples of hair that were reported to have appeared - wrapped around a man's penis who claims to have been visited by two strange looking women, who seemed to be alien, but very close to human, one tall and blonde, with very fine hair, and another, shorter and quite dark skinned and somewhat asian looking, i just want to focus on the dark skinned one, but the "nordic" one, she had genetics which are found in the iberian/north african (berber) and irish (i think it was irish), but the other one had genes that matched most closely to modern mongolians.

in The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya, he suggests that the pale, tall one was an atlantean, and the dark, shorter one, was a lemurian.

sorta makes a lot of sense now i think about it, with you bringing up the matter of Geghis Khan, that the mongolians are probably the remnant of the lemurians, whose domain was basically east asia, and that likely they appeared earlier than the atlanteans. this would be how the mongolians have their martial culture and ethics and why they were so successful at what they did.

there isn't as much said about either the lemurians or the atlanteans and war, because mostly it's lilly livered pacifists who are interested in them. but the war of the titans implies that very likely, they had a culture similar in principle to the original ideas of the founders of the USA, stipulating that everyone is responsible for security against incursions by enemies.

what i would just add to that, is that it's not just about ballistics and tactics, its' also about narratives, deception, i mean, look at what is happening now with russia. nato and ukraine started persecuting ethnic russians living in the east, on the borders with russia, and just like Genghis, the neighbours are getting hoity toity and think they can just run around ethnically cleansing russians. and then, they just keep on dragging it on, so russia is now in attrition warfare mode. at some point, it's going to become obvious that these spiteful little shits, who are just poking and poking and poking the bear, are gonna get the swatting of their lives.

but, i think the actual situation is that the chain of command goes from the shadows behind putin, and from his networks to brussels, and the whole EU project has all along been softening up europe in order to be able to do the ideal of Sun Tzu, to conquer an enemy with very little resources spent. at this point, they are in defensive mode, but in the shadows, they have been orchestrating the collapse of the european union, in order to claim all of europe as their domain.

i'm not saying that's good, because it's not. but it's incredible how easily europe was lulled into a pacific, disarmed sleep.

the same thing has been happening to the USA as well, and all of the commonwealth nations.

when i was in prison, a cellmate had an interesting book that had the thesis that in fact, since the beginning of WW1, it has in fact been a constant war.

i think that actually, it goes way way further back, tens of thousands of years, to that war in heaven/war of the titans, and we are now at last in the final act, with a tri-polar power structure just like Orwell described, and also, similarly, the contested zones between, most of africa, india, and west asia, are all and have been long battlegrounds between these three dynasties.

it is truly a blessing from God that our star is about to give them a good roasting. whether or not anything else happens, those who survive, will be able to possibly institute a more stable world order where every village is an army, and nobody tresspasses on anybody, without getting immediate retribution. those dynastic power families, playing chess in their vendettas with each other, don't have a guaranteed survival out of what's coming. they are decrepit, inbred and so complacent in their success at enslaving humanity, that more likely a dozen genghis khans appear and hunt every last one of them down and remove them from the face of the earth.
