Let’s see what everyone thinks . For me it has got to be @elaine_paige ❤️

@SasanianShah Koobideh v. Barg?

What 2000 year long conflict is he talking about?

@daveguitarjones I am ignoramus of that expression.

Don't you just hate it when people use Latin words they don't understand and vice-versa?

@JoshuaBarzon The Safavid Iran, 5m. population, was squeezed between The Ottomans, 24m., and the Gurkani Empire, 70m. A time of fruitful cooperation and competition.

three of the most powerful world empires existed at the same time and right next to each other

@SasanianShah من انگلیسیم بده! بده بیاد.

من یک پتیشن نوشتم. کسی: ۱- تخصصی‌ در حقوق بین‌الملل/حقوق بشر داره ۲- تجربه در نوشتن پتیشن داره ۳- انگلیسی‌ بده ۴- حوصله داره پیغام خصوصی بده براش بفرستم برای نظر‌ دادن

@MbarkCherguia Hedy Lamarr in drag?

Who is this cinema legend? Wrong Answers Only 👇

@CliveWardauthor Astonishing historical record of what people looked like: Malnourished, glazed eyes, weak chin, general look of deep stupidity...

@ronsterd89 An Egyptian artifact, probably used in making ceremonial sacrifices.

This might be the strangest thing I’ve come across. What is it

@AuthorGFAllen My English teacher strongly recommended reading Orwell, as example of clarity of thought and expression.

Does reading a lot naturally improve writing ability?

@nicholadrummond In the likely dystopian future, glimpsed in the Persian Gulf now, it is the attack by swarms of cheap autonomous drones that needs to be defended against.

The UK needs a ballistic missile shield. Not because Iranian missiles are a threat, but because Russian ones are. And while regime decapitation in Iran plays out, Russian lines in Ukraine are starting to collapse. What will Putin do when defeat stares him in the face?

@arash_tehran این "ملی گرا" یعنی چی؟ گمانم از ساخته های اطلاعاتی هاست. 'گری' بار منفی داره و کسروی برای همین 'شیعه گری' رو ساخت. میهندوست، میهنی...

اگر پهلوی ملی گرای واقعی بود 👇🏽

@patriot_apranik نکته مهمی را اشاره کردید. کسانی مثل اشپیر هنوز فکر میکردند که با غرب میتوان به توافق رسید و نمیخواستند همه پل ها را خراب کنند، ولی خود هیتلر در رویای 'غروب خدایان' غرق بود. حالا هم نمیدانیم تقسیم بندی میان فرماندهان سپاه چگونه است.

هیتلر در مارس ۱۹۴۵، زمانی که شکست آلمان قطعی به نظر میرسید، «فرمان نرو» را صادر کرد. او دستور داد تمام زیرساخت‌های نظامی، صنعتی، ارتباطی و نیروگاه‌های برق آلمان تخریب شوند تا هیچ چیز سالمی به دست متفقین نیفتد. هیتلر معتقد بود اگر ملت آلمان در جنگ شکست خورده، لیاقت داشتن این زیرساخت‌ها برای ادامه حیات را ندارد. این تصمیم به معنای نابودی کامل آینده‌ی عموم مردم آلمان بود. خوشبختانه، آلبرت اشپیر (وزیر تسلیحات او) از اجرای کامل این دستور سرپیچی کرد، و منافع کشور آلمان را به پیروی از توهمات یک دیکتاتور احمق و خودشیفته ترجیح داد. آیا در جمهوری اسلامی هم یک اشپیر وجود دارد؟

@levantophile Said is full of resentment and even more full of excrement. The mere fact of being the subject of study is to him demeaning and dehumanizing. A merchant of hate.

I am struck, and pleasantly amused, by the flawless, highly ornate Arabic prose of this late 19th-century Cambridge Persianist, who was evidently an accomplished Arabist as well. Incidentally, this is one reason I find Edward Said’s Orientalism overly dismissive and uncharitable toward Western scholars. Men like Browne devoted an extraordinary effort to mastering a difficult language and culture, and that kind of devotion is hard to see as anything other than a labor of love, especially when his Arabic is so poetic and refined. (I must admit, I am envious!) Ironically, Arabists like Browne likely possessed a far more advanced command of Arabic than Said ever did.

@hairygit Victorians were well-versed in oriental literature with some notable experts among them. An admirable people, the Victorians.

@JayantBhandari5 What train?!

India's hyper-sonic bullet train that uses technology perfected during the mission to the south pole of the moon.

@alirezanasseh نوروز از ایده خدا هم قدیمی تره!

تو شرکت سابق یه سری بحث تاریخ شد گفتم تقویم ما اولین روز بهار شروع میشه و آخرین روز زمستون تموم میشه، بعد اینا یک نگاهی بهم کردن گفتن Makes sense! انگار داشتن تو ذهنشون می‌گفتن چرا به ذهن خودمون نرسیده بود! تقویم ایرانی خیلی دقیق و زیباست، کاملاً منطبق بر طبیعته.

@simon_schama Barings provided the necessary capital for the US to pay France $15 million, with the bank purchasing US bonds at a discount and selling them to investors, providing Napoleon with immediate cash for European wars.

fellow-historians help me out here- any other cases of a country at war helping to fund the enemy it's at war with? 🤡🤡🤡

@Tom_Antonov @MarineNationale I am willing to bet that French submariners eat better than British submariners. Fresh baguettes every 24 hours, decent coffee, and delicious sauces.

@NobariAli I don’t design them. They come fully realised.
