Dolan is churning these episodes out and they're all pretty fantastic. First 3 episodes straight of Venice, and now Xenophon. Happy as a pig in poo poo.

Has Dolan done any shows specifically about Victorian England?

It might have been the episode about Genghis, since he was pretty "self-made" as conquerors go and I remember them commenting on that at length. And I think they talked about the Ethiopian general in India who was bought as a slave. Not sure if they ever talked about Al-Saffar but he comes alot in these kinds of discussions because he's usually described as a blacksmith (he was also an ayyar which is pretty relevant to becoming a warlord).

To be fair crusader knights on foot isn't that inaccurate (during the first crusade) as they had lost most of their horses after the march through central Anatolia...which was the Turks main horse pastures so I never really got how they hosed that up so bad.

Yeah I'm not surprised soldiers were dying. Central Anatolia isn't crop country even today. Sparsely populated steppes. But it is extremely suitable for the survival of livestock and horses so I don't see how they lost most of their cavalry capability marching across it except I guess they were eating them.

Also they suck at doing the paperwork for residency and so just move every time their tourist visa expires.

net work error posted:Wondering what kind of new terrorist groups will be coming out of Ukraine after a bunch of these arms shipments get lost and end up in Ukrainian fascist hands. Euro ISIS? Ukraine Al Qaeda maybe? nah the closest analog is the Grey Wolves. azov battalion guys are gonna murdering left wingers all over Europe on Americas behalf for the rest of our lives once the eastern Ukraine stuff cools off.

Pryor on Fire posted:I don't know who Carl Zha is but goddamn don't click that cat tweet if you like animals, what a bummer I feel for him. Since I moved to Istanbul I pretty regularly bring in and try to nurse the cats in the area and get them to vets, but the attrition rates are pretty dire regardless. The kittens are the worst because they bond with you even if you don't want them to and also have the worst outcomes.

I dearly hope the next episode is the Anibale one they were spitballing focusing on D'Annunzio. It's a loving crime that the only podcast that has covered him is the lovely Robert Evans one.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:The absolutely funniest TENE episode is the one on William Dudley Pelley, because Pelley was probably the most schizophrenic American who ever lived and he also led the closest thing the United States ever had to an organized fascist movement with the Silver Legion. He was so schizophrenic that he predicted the specific date and time for their fascist takeover, and Silver Legion members would openly admit it to newcomers, including barely undercover FBI agents. you know i thought about subscribing to TENE when they were on RWN but decided against it cuz I didn't care about the balkans that much. happy to find they have the same morbid fascination with fascist and reactionary weirdos I do. They might deserve '

AnimeIsTrash posted:Was the US just relying on their anti communism, and probably some really racist beliefs about brown people? yes. when the US first started arming the afghan mujahids, way back before the soviet intervention, they ran glowing writeups in every paper about how they were slaughtering the commie teachers and their slutty bitch daughters because of how much they loved freedom. the more psychotic a fundamentalist you were the better, in basically every country except iran because of weird historical processes making the religious establishment side with the peasants sometimes.

I’m glad they brought up the navalny hate crime story in that. it’s probably the most important thing to know about his past to establish that he was a “no really a massive loving racist nazi”. even his dumb commercial doesn’t really compare to actually mutilating a man while screaming racial slurs.

the way Annibale constantly says "uuuuuuhhhhhhh" with such deep vocal fry that you can hear each individual click of his vocal cords is pure ASMR and if you don't like it you should really just get the gently caress out of this thread
