If you want to learn about any warmonger who went broke, read deeply about Ordu Khan's Turkey. It is applicable to any country all history. Turkey, today, is caught in a vicious cycle of funding wars to hide domestic failures and wars bankrupting economy.
cnbctv18.com/market/currenc…
Ordu Khan's popularity is flailing and when his party lost Istanbul and Ankara, and when his planted coup had not many takers, he had no option but to extend his wars. Like a squeezed octopus whose hands are thrashing everywhere, Turkey jumped from theatre to theatre cluelessly -
Greece, Syria, Libya, Armenia and what not. It tried everything except Ordu Khan holding Zulfiqar in his hands and proclaiming a religious war. But then, where is the money? Even the greatest Empire in world history, the British Empire collapsed because of the Second World War.
What is a broken down Turkey with no resources and money to achieve its Neo-Ottomanist imperialist game? People are suffering - both because of Ordu Khan's policies and because of COVID. And his attitude is as if he is punishing Istanbul for not electing his party.
At one point, Istanbul had 60% of Turkey's COVID cases and the Mayor in no mean words said Turkish Government is not helping. But, Ordu Khan is still funding his unviable wars. A month ago, the countries surrounding Turkey gathered in Athens to present a united front -
the Philia Forum. On the other hand, Ordu Khan bit more than what he can chew in Armenia and Syria. All Assad needs to do now is to build a memorial for Armenian Genocide in a Grand Ceremony. Ordu Khan is a classic case of a country dying a slow death.

He actually reminds me of Tipu Sultan and Francisco Solano López - they started big, spread ruins and chaos everywhere, bankrupted themselves and ultimately destroyed themselves. And more importantly, they were immune to the sufferings of people - their own People.
Even, the aces up Ordu Khan's sleeves are drying up fast - ISIS is dead and that means no free petrol, his two million refugees count is not increasing, regional resistance against him is increasing amidst economic collapse.
More importantly, he failed to capitalise the vacuum created by deaths of Solemani and al-Muhandis. Assad is growing stronger, Armenia is more angry than ever, Haftar has no rules of war - all they need to do is to take the war to Ordu Khan's home turf. And it's not impossible.

There are very few events in the world which mark a tectonic shift in narrative - and generally, we don't know about most of them. Let me take one such - French Conquest of Algeria. Why is it special? It is probably the first time after Crusades
(ignore Russia's Caucasus and Central Asian exploits) that a Christian Country invaded a Muslim country and tried to annex it to it's home territory. Colonization of Muslim territories were there as like in Philippines or in Indonesia but it was just a distant army using locals
to run the show. Now, back to Algeria. Algeirs is one of the main seats of Barbary Pirates who feasted on European shipping - in fact, even as late as 1800, USA had to shell out 20% of it's annual income as protection money!!

Looking into the history of Mizos. Know what? There is nothing called a Mizo. In fact, there is nothing even called Lushai. What we have is something called Lushei - a tribe on an alliance of six closely coupled tribes claiming descent from Thangula, who is dated to early 1700s.
Paihte say Thangula is born out of a bastard son of a Paihte chief, the Lushei claim he is born out of a Burmese man and a Paihte woman - in either case, the verdict seems to be that they spliced off from the Paihte. In fact, all the tribes from Manipur to Chittagong to Arakan
(except the Chakma) came from the same stock. Anyways. These six tribes expanded out of their core territory causing much disturbance. But, there is one thing to note here. The North of them are the powerful Thados and Paihte, the South of them are Chakmas and to the East, Chin.

As a follow-up, there is one more topic which we generally don't look closely into - what happened to the last kings of South before the Muslims swamped the area? Let me list out one by one.
Devagiri - Harapaladeva - 1317 - Skinned alive and his straw stuffed body was hung at the gates of Devagiri fort. His brother-in-law, Singhana, whom he succeeded died at the head of his army.
Kakatiya Prataparudra - 1323 - Captured and taken to be displayed as an animal in Delhi court. Committed suicide enroute.

Today is Mahashivaratri. And did you ever hear about this false Sivalinga? When Pandyan Empire collapsed and was open to plunder by the Muslims, Antaralayas of both Srirangam and Madurai were sealed with a false wall to hide the Moola Virat.
In Madurai, they planted a false Sivalinga just outside the wall and the Muslims fell for it. The testimony of their brutality is clearly seen through the number of blows this idol got. Remember and cherish what your ancestors did for you make you a proud Hindu.
When the false wall was broken open on the orders of Kumara Kampana after killing the last Madurai Sultan, they found the flowers which garlanded Sundareshwara still afresh and Chandrahasa, the ceremonial sword of the Pandyans was placed before him.

One community which doesn't deserve the pedestal it is placed upon is the Mizo. Look at the recent controversy. The don't want a non-local to head education department it seems.
Seems justified right? Whenever a non-Mizo comes, there will be problems in allotment of seats to Mizos - that's what they are saying. But, what's the catch? The non-locals we are talking about here is the Hindu residents of Mizoram, the Bru.
For them, some Myanmarese terrorists have more right to stay in Mizoram than the Hindu Bru/Chakma.
