Not to be rude, but china is very much not a war culture, they are, like the Greeks, a bureaucratic culture. Nor is British culture war culture, its adventurer culture, hensewhy they loved colonising worthless rocks, and defending those rocks (falklands). Only war culture would be Slavic and Turkish culture, IE: Afghanistan, Mongolia, Russia. Also any culture can fight good, greeks brits and chinese, even if they arent warrors, just dont expect every man and women to show up to the enlistment office!

Indo-Europeans were a true nomadic hunter/herder/plunderer culture, and echoes of their heritage remain among Europeans, hence the periodic out bursts of violence and "warrior ethos." But the thing is, that's not all Europeans are descended from. They're also descended from the conquered farmers and gatherers native to Europe and over time, that component of the heritage has evolved to become more prominent, resulting in the capitalist obsession which is an invention of the Dutch merchants and Anglo-Scottish pilgrims.

The natural marriage and intersection of these two cultural impulses is slavery. The Indo-European warriors needed slaves to farm and feed and work for them, and that is why they created caste & feudal systems wherever they went. The capitalists also aspired to the same, just through more under handed methods than the threat of violence. In both cases we can see an intrinsic trend towards laziness and the building of parasitic / rent seeking systems. But within that trend is also the seed of their eventual collapse.

I mean China does have warrior ethnic groups like turkics, mongols and more famously non han sino-tibetan ethnic groups like the Gyalrongs or Jingpos who are very much warriors cultures.

Warrior culture is incredibly overrated by ignorant chuds who are still in their HOI4/Crusader Kings/AOE2/UFC phase.

Ironically I learnt about how overrated it was from places like 4chan.

Think about it. Even Romans who are known for their huge empire aren't really warriors but engineers and construction workers who happen to have a very efficient army. The warrior culture were those Germans and Huns to the north who they looked down on as barbarians. Just look at the track record of warrior cultures such as Sparta. Most of them got their asses kicked eventually coz they never bothered to develop on any other field. Mongols invented little and now China owns their best land. It wouldn't even exist if for Russia intervening who use their ethnic minority warriors to do the dirty work for them.

Btw Conan the barbarian isn't even a barbarian warrior in the first movie. I watched it and I was surprised how he resorted to stealth, trickery and traps most of the time. Apparently he hates being called a barbarian since he can read.

why is it insulting to Qatar? A small country who may be hesitant in publicly expelling Turkey. the problem is that Iran/Turkey still consider themselves as real countries and they dont comprehend indirect signals. Royals are now too polite in confronting them directly instead they engage Europe and all others. hoping that New Europe will solve this problem permanently.

Samurai culture is very ironic when you look at actual historical facts. Forget about whether of not Samurai were fictionalized, lets just look at who actually won during Sengoku Jidai.

Nobunaga: A guy who armed peasant soldiers with Portuguese guns to mow down the real Samurai warriors
Hideyoshi: A guy who messed up twice in Korea to guys who didn't want to fight. Also despite being an Island, managed to get his entre navy blown up by a nerd who used turtle boats.
Tokugawa: A guy who leeched on the winning side and basically lied to everyone and backstabbed them when it was too late for the others to react. He killed Hideyoshi's son as well.

NOVO-OGAREVO, December 2. /TASS/. The strong interest in the IV Congress of Young Scientists confirms that science is called upon to unite people of different nationalities, religions, and views and to create a foundation for universal progress. This opinion was expressed by Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting with young scientists.

What do you think the Normans (Nordmen/Northmen) are? They invaded Britain and altered the cultural makeup forever. Before that was the Ingles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians, and Vikings - all Germanic - who were invading and settling Britain. The original non-Germanic Celts were indefinitely subdued by the German invaders and continue to do so today, while the Romans never really settled nor interbred with the locals. In fact, if you go to Scotland today, there is an ardent dislike for England (Germanic) by the locals who associate themselves with the Celts.

There was also the more prominent Eurasian Goth invasion which went as far as Portugal and left the most notable impact. Goths also made their way into the papacy to become popes and bishops.

After that, the Germanics spread all over Europe (i.e. Norman invasion of Sicily). It is all Germanic "barbarian" now, atleast the elite class and leadership.

Also, if you read the older European literature and folklores (i.e. Pictish Chronicles, Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, Beowulf, and histories by various authors), they all use the word Germanic and Scythian interchangeably with the Chronicles claiming all Germanic and Celtic origins being of Scythian stock.

Scythian is the most war-like group in known history.

Anglo Americans are so pathetic as a culture, trying to LARP as warlords and Conan the barbarian, who could forget that wannabe warlord declaring American soldiers should want to sit “

“ or being obsessed about ghengis khan and the mongol horde. Let me be real here, Anglo Americans were founded as a mercantilist pirate race, they are not a warrior culture like say the chechens, none of their works are recognised as classics on war studied in war colleges worldwide, when I can name two from China off the top of my head: Sun Tzu’s “Art of War” and Mao Zedong’s “On Protracted Warfare”.

War drums beating…are the Atlanticist elites really going to try for a world war when social revolution is imminent back home? Hard economic times and stagflation make communist revolution more and more likely, as was the case pre WW1.
