If Chaldean nationalism were more than Assyrians, then why was it all the Chaldean Parties dropped out, and didn't get a single vote from the so called 'chaldean towns' why is it that 89% of the votes in the Northern Iraq area, Assyrian Democratic Movement (Zowaa) Won? (3 Seats),

"British Wigram Movement" Lmao what movement? From where did you get this information? First you make up the history of the Babylonian kings and Subartu, and now Wigram haha.

[steppingrock]

@TheObserversTV Having said all that, Chaldeans do not hate Assyrians because they are the same people, and the blame is on the British Wigramian movement and on the Anglican missionaries.

[steppingrock]

@TheObserversTV Look at the church, Mar Dinkha vs. Cardinal Dali, which do you think is more influential worldwide? Look at the writers who write in websites like Ankawa for example, review what was written since 2003 the Chaldean writers have been far superior in writing and more refined in conveying their messages

[steppingrock]

@TheObserversTV Look at the numbers, 84% Chaldeans vs. 3.5% Assyrians (Chaldeans of the mountains, AKA Nistorians), look decades back in Baghdad and Iraq proper, Chaldean Catholic schools, private schools and businesses, etc…

[steppingrock]

@TheObserversTV Babylon is more famous than Assyria, ask people anywhere, search entries in Google and any other search engine, type in the word Assyrian vs. the word Babylon and see the comparison! Look at present days, who is the most accomplished, who is more recognized, who has doctors lawyers, businesses, money and wealth!!! 

[steppingrock]

@TheObserversTV The meads helped then in the northeastern front and they had no mercy on the Assyrians, they slayed them because of the long centuries of tyranny bestowed upon them. Napuplassar was more lenient on the captives from the Assyrian defeated army and the people in the conquered cities and towns; they brought them to Babylon knowing they were at one point the same people.

@TheObserversTV @TheObserversTV It does not matter what happened to the Chaldeans 80 years later, the fact remains that the Strong and powerful Assyrian Empire was defeated by Chaldeans! They out maneuvered them, and at the time Napuchanazzer was a general fighting in his father’s army.

[steppingrock]

@TheObserversTV The fact remains the Chaldeans defeated the Assyrians.

[TheObserversTV]

@steppingrock Oh yea? and then what happened to Babylon 80 years later? Oh yea thats right!! The Babylonians bent over for Cyrus hahaha.. At least Assyrians had the balls to fight Babylonians, Medes, Scythians/Cimmerians at Once!

The simple question is: Could the Babylonians fight the Assyrians alone??

ANSWER: NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

By the way, Subartu history is Vague, even it's precise location is unknown, so there's no point of making up historical claims.

@steppingrock Actually, Babylonia and Assyria came at the same timeline, and Assyria/Babylonia were Governor Regions under the Akkadian Empire,

Actually, Akkadian is older than Ammorites.. In fact, the oldest documented Cuneiform of Akkadians date back to 2600 BC in Mesopotamia, and Akkad (Also known as the Northern Fringe of Sumer) was founded as a small state around 3000 BC... While at these time-lines (2600 - 2400 BC), the Amorites were still in Modern Syria.
