All praise the algorithm!
All praise the algorithm!
Even today's iran is one of the greatest foes of the west.
History repeats itself.
This is why Islam so quickly spread, and also why China wants Russia and NATO to fight.
Sasanid an (India) Bharat buffer empire. Just as Huns a buffet empire for Han China
West is a failure because there were no dedicated conquests to the far East/South East
Sacrifice to the algorithm
These wars took so much man power that Arabs could expand Islam.
Not worse still than the god emperor becoming an slave of the ideology he tried to erase now controlling him
khalid ibn walid: noisy romans and persians especially sassanid persians
