I was kinda disappointed by just how few people understood 'the sleeping giant' reference.

It of course referred to the rather prophetic quote from the IJN Fleet commander, Admiral Yamamoto after the annihilation of the US Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor.

War is always a bloody business, and Yamamoto understood two key factors, firstly the 'character' of the US, and how when sufficiently incited they could be terrible and single minded, and secondly, that once the US industrial might had been fully mobilized it would be unstoppable.

Yamamoto second rather prophetic statement after the bombing of Pearl Harbor was 'I can run wild for 6 months, after that I hold no real hopes of victories'. 6 months after came the decisive (although to be fair a large element of the outcome was down to luck) Battle of Midway which crippled the lions share of the IJN naval air power.

Three years later Japans cities were getting systematically raised to the ground, culminating of course in the double nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.... but that's a different story.

Many of those without the historical background to understand this filled in the meaning of the quote as they saw fit. Those with axes to grind 'gleefully rejoiced' and declared that 'thunderf00t supports and advocates genocide'.
They didn't stop there though, many went on to show how 'Thunderf00t is exactly the same as the extremists' with such specious reasoning as 'thunderf00t zealously advocates something, and so do the terrorists, so they are the same'.

I also didn't make it clear in the earlier shorter videos the difference between a dispassionate appraisal of history and an extrapolation of likely events based on historical precedent and current military dispositions and Dawahfilms fantasizing about how his religion, gives him the right.... no demands that he kills certain people.

For the benefit of those who didn't spot the difference, a rational and strategic assessment of a problem is not the same as publicly fantasizing about how a magic book gives you the right, AND REQUIRES that you kill people."

There is only one question we and they have to answer.

Who needs whom?!

Here my answer: We (the West) dont need theese crazy suicidal muzzis. We invented and will invent all we need. And they? Without us the stil would wipe their asses bare hands. We dont need to declare war on them. We only dont have to trade with them and within weeks their entire "muslimworld" crushes and crumbles

@bowman2061 It's not quite as simple as 'them over there'. This is a billion people we're talking about, spread throughout all societies, most of them regular social conservatives, but nevertheless showing a distinct lack of criticism with their holy book, not seen in other religious traditions for a very long time. The great victory over Christianity was getting its followers to concede the human fallibility of the Bible. Islam needs a similarly transformative shift to break its hermetic seal.

"The God we wish we knew" I cannot begin to fathom the extremity of the bullshit created by that phrase, nothing can.

Its not them over there. Its Islam People are every where the same. Same dumb or intelligent, ugly or beautifull. Islam destroyed their culture & future. Look on Persia & Egypt before Islam lay waste on them. 5000 years of highculture wiped out in the name of allah. Till then a complete backstep in every aspect of life. I am from germany. We know which price an ideolgy of this kind takes. But we had the fortune not to win. We „only lost 12 years, they lost 400 years.
