I've been thinking about this since I got into a balkan wars binge a while back. What if Bulgaria just didn't declare war and start the 2nd balkan war? From what I saw it was a really close thing. They feared that if they did not act immediately, they would lose Macedonia forever. In retrospect we know that 2 more big opportunities arose, but even back then there seems no reason to think the end of history is at hand. So if they bode their time and peace'd out at the end of the first and only war, maintaining reasonable relations with their neighbors, less destruction overall, and slightly larger borders especially against the Ottomans, what would happen next? If they joined the central powers in ww1 it would probably end up similar just with those Turkish borders maintained. But the entente offered to pressure Serbia into giving up some southern land in return for Bulgaria joining them. OTL it wasn't enough to convince them and Serbia refused giving more, but with less bad blood Serbia could offer greater concessions while Bulgaria would be more willing to accept them. While it could not be expected before the end of the war, Serbia gaining all the south slavic lands within AH could offset even giving the whole of Macedonia up. Also, with how much closer Bulgaria's borders are to Constantinople, assuming Ottomans still enter, the entente would be much more interested in getting Bulgaria to join up. If all of this happens, maybe the Turkey carving would be far more successful. At least they would definitely get thrown out of Europe. There seems to be no good maps of the borders before the 2nd war were declared so you'll have to forgive me for using a tigerstar video screenshot.

>>12850 just to illustrate further, dark green + orange is pre war, - orange + light green is post war. Red and orange are balk war 2 losses, so the whole thing together would be their borders if they skipped the part 2. It's a pretty devastating difference. Less motivation to go to war with serbia, romania and greece, especially if serbia gives concessions. The ottoman border is night and day, if they went with the entante they could remove kebab in less than a year. Ottomans might not even enter the war in this scenario for the risk of it, so that's even less reason to join the central powers. What a blunder.

Does anyone know some alternate history fictions where the 30 years war didn't happen?

>>3529 >>3532 Both the sickles and the chain were tools used by samurai for the stables. Sickles were used to clear grass to make camp and cut hay for the horses. Chains were used to secure horses so they wouldn't be stolen. People figured out ways to use them individually for combat. Then one guy decided "why not both?"

the only ninja weapons you need are a pointy dagger and piano wire (forgot the name). they are simple and effective. if you are seen by the sentry and have to fight him hand to hand, you arent a good ninja. with that being said can we please talk about ninja tactics/stealth? maybe a ninja loadout.

Tarrant’ed up my shotgun

>>12113 nice, bro

>propaganda and politics this shit glows. why would you need to discuss race specifically? weapons and tactics are neutral, you could just share and learn without the glownigger stuff.

>>13431 I have always assumed those sights are total junk like most slav optics

>>1190 Yes, mace is effective with a couple of caveats. You have to hit the person in the face and you have to do it before they close the distance, otherwise you'll be spraying yourself too. Same in a confined space, the effects will be shared by people in it. Mind you, it doesn't stop someone from attacking even with their eyes closed and if they're high enough on something, they can maybe force their eyes open through the pain.

>>1191 >Like if a nigger is fucking with you just shoot him. Old thread, but it's all fun and games until the media comes after you and then you have to face up against some jewish or shitlib prosecutor who will do everything in their power to put you behind bars

>Ancient thread and I doubt OP remembers he even mad this thread but It's a good middleground solution where de-escalation/flight isn't an option but discharging a lethal weapon may not be appropriate given the circumstances & factors. If you're threatened but have assessed a firearm would be overkill but still need to incapacitate the individual, utilizing a spray would have you facing the prosecution of assault with a weapon instead of 2nd degree murder; I'm the furthest thing from a lawyer but I'd take my chances with the former. Let me know if you disagree.

>>13456 This thread is more appropriate for that https://8chan.se/k/res/12106.html

>>13458 It's already posted there actually. It's been pointed out before that the bit about BicepHardthrusts IP being government protected is innacurate, he just connected in a way that his IP looked like it was part of the local network. Also karambit's info should include a link to the article from 2016 where he was interviewed, so that people know he's a socialist berniebro. Also Whigs flag should be canadian. I'm sure there are other errors.

>>13045 cute cat OP. I like it when they have longer hair, but honestly all cats are pretty comfy in my book

>>13045 I think your cat is related to my cat.

>>1825 What leftist policies? They participated in international trade like any other western country and the Night of the Long Knives killed any actual socialism within the party. Are these leftist policies the failure to deliver the Beetle or that (in the early days at least) people were issued treasury certificates and other tickets as currency, I don't know much about how their economy worked. Also I wouldn't necessarily say Hitler was set up to fail. Hitler may have put too much good faith into diplomacy with the west especially the fucking British and all the territory he took thinking he could get away with it, he wasn't tricked or mislead into good faith unless he just didn't hear what the entire world's opinion on him was. It's like saying Saddam Hussein was a US puppet. If war entered his plans then so-be-it. >>1832 >Do you have any PDFs or links that point to that? I'd like to take a read for that myself. The fact that his interrogation files are classified until 2045 looks pretty damning. Hitler believed in alliance with the UK for an unreasonable amount of time into the war. >So how did the French royalty set Hitler up I think he just means elites. >Which is it, Chinkman? Edward VIII was forced out of the throne into becoming the Governor of the Bahamas because of his favorable views towards Hitler, like Reza Shah.

Hitler was a shitty commander and a shittier economist.

Happy Hitler easter, /k/. Remember, he died for your weed

>>2767 I think it still counts as spinner.

>>2450 I want whatever the fuck these dudes were smoking when they came up with all these vehicle, kit, and gun designs. All of it goes HARD.

>>2768 Thats a khopesh

>>7583 Tell me where I'm wrong on this assessment here... Shinzo Abe's a dead cunt who taxed nips up the arse to discourage more of them from having children, any accomplishment under his watch was accidental & an oversight and having mini-Blair of the East die prematurely was a good thing because his successor's on the whole less competent and less slick at deceiving the gooks into thinking they're not gonna get Trotsky policy spun and thrust on them to make Japan into yet another nation of third world curry peddlers.

>>7583 Japan has issued a major tsunami warning after a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the central region. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8KQjZaqqVs 1/1 earthquake was here? https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e4250.html

Just here to pay my respects. RIP Abe, I still can't believe you're dead

>>7663 You can't sell firearms or ammo there iirc, but you can sell magazines and firearm accessories.

>>7638 Depending on where you are and the state of your country salt is essential. Buy like 30 kilos, and you may as well have 30 kilos of gold in shtf. Gotta be smart

>>12064 ok, hear me out. stockpile basic generic soap bars. cheap as f right now and worth their weight in gold as a necessary consumable if SHTF.

>>12638 >tarrifs Yah the fear tariffs is what i used in my mind to justify the purchase lol Nice gun btw

>>12494 Curved frame?...i wasnt aware there was a distinction...its just a plain ole beretta 92

>>12746 its a curved frame 92, which was introduced later on(after the adoption of the M9) in order to reinforce the frame for 40S&W as there were some frame cracking issues with that caliber in the beretta. This change wasnt applied to the M9 due to it having a TDP that isnt easy to change, also the fact it wasnt necessary. Older italian made 92s will have the straight frame, but newer ones all have the curved frame. US made 92s can have either or, as the production line for the M9 is still going so sometimes they sub in the straight frame for the 92s sometimes. If you want a guaranteed straight frame though, you can pick up a commercial M9 which is what I did. Just a bit of autism, but I do think the straight frame looks a little better. Most people dont notice the difference but are always struck with a "this looks off" thought by the curved frame

>>12247 Australia is a country with 50 tanks in total, if you could muster up an IRA sized force (in minecraft) you'd completely fuck Australias ability to be a gay faggot nation Obligatory: don't actually do it think of the childrens etc

>>12249 my point was moreso that he would never do it + he'd never muster the support for it either. Everyone is to lazy. Food needs to become harder to get before thats even remotely on the table. Now the bright side is once its actually realistically on the table, I dont think itll come off the table for a long time, but that time isnt rn

>>12249 >if you could muster up an IRA sized force It would probably have to be bigger than that, considering that the IRA had guns.

>AI prompts I absolutely refuse. >hide

>>12334 posting pics before I broke it

Glock 30 gen 2.5 with buffalobore +P hollow points in a vedder holster and 2 extra mags in a vedder holster

>>12641 That's a pretty piece anon, I hope she comes back in one piece soon. I don't have any good pics of my beat to hell carry revolver except this joke one I took. Might try to clean it up a bit and take a nice pic some day.
