It can be hard to find good sources (in English...) about how the enormous empires of the early Caliphates actually worked, but from my understanding, once a more regular imperial governance was implemented after the initial period of expansion it was all about (for the new imperial elites) securing governorships of provinces, so that you could extract tax revenues, and hopefully get out before your successor would accuse you of stealing said tax revenues and try to extort your hard-gotten wealth from you; in some ways very much like the Roman senatorial governorship system. I wonder if anyone has written anything about the similarities between Rome and the early Caliphate from that perspective?

So far from God, so close to the United States". (then it got paraphrased to the rest of us here)

At least in the English translations I've read, pious Muslim preachers of the later caliphal period decrying corruption will call said later caliphs, after the Rightly Guided Ones or some other moral cutoff point, "Pharaohs". Always wondered if that fully reflected the Arabic.

Always wondered if that fully reflected the Arabic. It does. The Quran elliptically refers to many of the Prophets and also to firawn, or Pharaoh, archetypically the Pharaoh of Moses' time.

First the zionists insist that their cause is inextricable from Judaism in a transparent effort to characterize anyone who opposes wholesale slaughter of Palestinians as antisemitic. Then they insist that anyone who opposes their cause is not Jewish. Seems like they’re undermining their efforts to tie genocidal racism to Judaism here, and honestly it seems like a good thing? Idk I’m just some American jackass, but I welcome any strategic misstep on the part of the murderous psychos in control of Israel.

VoicesCanBe posted:Being super generous, you could say that they're playing the long game and trying to tie up and attrite Israel's military manpower and resources. More realistic, they're not really coming to the rescue. Israel has very small useful parts of the military besides the air force, so tying them up in the north is useful. The problem is that Israel’s response to having very small useful parts of the military outside the airforce is to bomb intensively. Hezbollah tying up ground forces does not relieve the problem of Israel bombing Gaza, because Israel being tied up is, in their minds, yet another reason to bomb. Israel also sees bombing Gaza as the only deterrent they have less. They no longer seem like they would defeat anyone in the region on the ground. They do seem like they would heavily bomb their cities, and nobody has a solution to that. It’s like the 1930’s idea of strategic bombing, but without any illusion of bringing victory, it’s only about harming civilians as a threat.

Always wondered if that fully reflected the Arabic. Contrary to the popular narrative of Islam spreading by the sword, the ummayads banned all conversion to Islam expect for Umar 2 and wanted to make Islam an ethno-religion for the Arab conquerors. A good book on this would be “Black Banners from the East”, about the abbasid revolution PawParole has issued a correction as of 22:37 on Nov 3, 2023 |

Frosted Flake posted:Israel has very small useful parts of the military besides the air force, so tying them up in the north is useful. I don't think Hezbollah could do that much to the IAF without the US getting involved, but they probably do need to press the ground more if only to acceleration the attrition they are doing to Israeli armor. Now the Israelis are committed to a ground fight, a lot of is going to depend about having trained crews and fully serviced equipment, Hezbollah would do Hamas a big favor but forcing more armor to be taken from the south. I do think Hezbollah only by playing by US' rules is going to lead to only a strategic loss, the US sets rules for a reason. I don't know if a huge public speech with a bunch of fanfare was the right call if they aren't going to be stepping up in any real way or allowing the US to dictate the outcome. Hezbollah has the ground capacity to press into the Israelis even if they aren't going to be marching to Tel Aviv. Also, btw, Hezbollah does have a armor corps, they were using it in Syria. It is mostly T-55/T-72s, but the T-72s specifically probably to match a Merkava with the right upgrades. They don't have a air force, but they have a huge missile/drone corps (which honestly is in some ways replacing traditional strike craft anyway). They have ways to put a lot of pressure on the Israelis, the question is what is the calibration.

sleep with the vicious posted:It's incredibly sad that the media and the US government aren't even doing the "buh? But what if Hamas actually bombed the hospital?" bullshit anymore It seems like the Israeli and US governments, as well as western media, went all-in on one single incident - the October 17th hospital bombing. That was the one where they threw out a bunch of lies to obscure the obvious reality that Israel bombed it. I guess maybe they felt that was just enough to muddy the waters so their supporters could feel better about it and all subsequent bombings, but yeah there's no longer any effort to hide what's happening
