Holy shit this thread is gay as fuck.
CNN is the network that hired fucking Corey Lewandowski while he's still on Trump's payroll, which is a major breach of ethics. Crazy that anyone would think that they're not pro-Trump. - Jack V Savage
CNN is pro-Trump according to Jack V Savage

In their favor, they barely missed the cutoff to be ID'd as genocidal monsters. Napoleon is remembered as this cute little debonair dude, instead of a brutal genocidal dictator. He was like a proto Hitler who missed his time to shine.
The French largely managed to suppress much of their history and portray it in shiny happy form, where they were always the good guys.
There's a handful but I make sure I don't skim, but read every word @Zankou and @Bald1 says and @Arkain2K is solid as well. Oh and @sodapopinski When he has time
Now that's a nice line-up right there.

I'm gonna dovetail your nomination list and add our WR Foreign Correspondents news panel: @Ruprecht from Australia, @JDragon from Germany, @Rod1 from Mexico, and @ShinkanPo from the Philippines.
If I have one wish for the WR, it's that we have more users from abroad to report stuff straight from the scene.

Here's your a broad, you discriminating fuck.

A Hawaiian applying to the WR Foreign News correspondence panel is as convincing as Puerto Rico applying for U.S statehood![]()
Please explain yourself, because this post is surprisingly misguided coming from you.
It's not overly subtle.
Created a military dictatorship that sought to dominate all of Europe, killing ten million people in an impossibly horrific conflagration. Pioneered mass conscription and total war in the service of rabid nationalism. Ultimately failed. It's not overly subtle.
This was just slightly before the era when ruinous military dictators whose wars of maniacal nationalist ambition kill millions were seen as 'bad.'
Now that's a nice line-up right there.

(We have a lot of active posters from Canada and Britain on here, but they don't make new threads on their important regional news as much as they should. I'd take interesting world news over the usual WR bickering craps any day of the week!)

Two things :
Napoleon was essentially and in essence at war against European aristocracy. He was a reformer.
And yes he was a nationalist but not in the ethnical sense. No, he was not genocidal.
Sure he had his flaws but I thoroughly reject the comparison with Hitler.
In our era, killing people for explicit racial reasons is the most monstrous crime imaginable, while killing them for reasons of ethnic national supremacy, the predecessor, is totally different. But it's not really that different.
Every imperial dictator aims to be a reformist. It's incredibly rare for that not to be true. When the Japanese invaded china and Korea, they cast themselves as heroes liberating the people from feudal oppression, a la Napoleon. And, in fairness, they did a lot of reform. But they were also monstrous dictatorial killers, subjugating the continent under Japanese nationalist supremacy.
Generally when somebody argues that a savage war was necessary to effectuate some change, I tend to ask whether that change was already occurring in other nations that didn't get slaughtered, and didn't have dictators.
