The Ottomans were way better, TBH.

  • Military strength
  • Skillful diplomacy
  • International trade
  • Multi-religious
  • Multi-cultural
  • Good urban planning
  • Stable currency
  • Good education

It's like the Trumps coopted all the bad parts of the Ottoman rulers, while reading the whole page about the good parts of the empire side of things upside-down.

Maybe we can see a palace coup at least before this is all over.

Time for the UK and France to promise the Native Americans a state of their own if they rebel, back them until they win, and then draw a new map totally ignoring that promise anyway. The US even already has straight lines all over its map, we won't have to draw any new ones!

Sorry, I know I shouldn't slander the Ottomans like this

The ottomans lost a war against a bunch of nomads and blamed armenians for WW1, very unbased 👎

The ottoman sultan was also the caliph. What religion is Trump presiding over? The maga cult?
