Post instances where two bitter enemies fight a common/greater threat

>want to weaken two assholes
>give weapons to both and watch

China helped both sides too I'm not sure why they're there

There were lots of fun incidents in the Iran-Iraq War where the Iranians and Iraqi's were firing the same type of chinese anti-ship missiles at each other.

China sells arms to literally anyone who has cash. Norinco got in trouble for selling anti-tank weapons to Los Angeles street gangs, for fuck's sake.

This one is even ongoing

Let's get this out of the way.

...

"Support" can be a number of things like basic health supplies as a humane thing.

The Turks were allied with Germans and Austrians.

>On 3 May, Zvonimir Čučković, an imprisoned Croatian communist resistance member

Is this real?

Yeah but in this case North went rogue

League of Cambrai
Stuart monarchy when it ruled England
Dutch attacking Sweden in violation of the triple alliance because Sweden would have more Baltic clay
Dutch and Portuguese fighting English merchants
Orthodox slavs sieging Constantinople

How can you have up to 1 million dead, wounded or taken prisoner if you have less than one million men
Also is this the brusilov offensive or failed July offensive

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_League_(1571)
/his won't admit that France fucked this up. However if Constantinople was recaptured then you would have seen less of a focus in the colonisation of Africa, Asia and Oceania, and potentially abandoning of the Americas

Not him, but "strength" in wikipedia articles is usually frontline strength at the start of an offensive or battle. When you get offensives that last months as would be common for the world wars, you'd get enormous reinforcements funneled through to the area, meaning that the overall number of men involved is often far higher than the listed "Strength", even if it doesn't necessarily rise higher than that at any one time.

>7 men
>1-2 killed
>5-6 captured
Did he become a vampire or what the fuck?

Proofs, comrade?

>However if Constantinople was recaptured then you would have seen less of a focus in the colonisation of Africa, Asia and Oceania, and potentially abandoning of the Americas
I don't think the religion of the rulers of

Constantinople had much to do with the British desire to expand.

We really need a /rel/ board to get rid of all the godfags who crowd threads with their Deus Vult shit and mythology

It means they don't know whether one guy died or just got captured, but confirmed that the other guy died.

Well i'd probably know if i had captured a dead corpse or not.

>all posts about Constantinople are religious
No you doofus, the whole reason people go exploring is to find shorter routes and an unmolested way to china, that's why you have the Portuguese trying to find a way around Africa to get to china, and why Columbus sets off. The capture of Constantinople meant that Black Sea trade and silk trade was hard for the Europeans to do.
>British desire to expand in 1571
Yes that's why permanent colonies were being set up or being captured from the Spanish rather than just liscenced by state privateers

Also history, religion and politics are so deeply intertwined it's a wonder the board was named that and not histories and humanities

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_Castle_Itter

Only time during WW2 when US and German forces fought side by side.

>Iran
>United States
>Israel

>Iraq
>United States

Who is jewing who?

Dumb Ameristaniposter can't into č I see.

shhh

God damn I love being American.

>mfw no matter who loses America wins

WE CAN'T STOP WINNING

Whenever the USA and Russia/USSR cooperate you know things have gotten out of hand.

>Imperial Russia puts a fleet in the US during the Civil War and threatens to basically put it under US command if the Franco-British decide to intervene
>large-scale Lend-Lease aid and coordinated military operations against Germany in WW2
>cooperation against Japan in the last two weeks of WW2
>mutually putting pressure on Britain and France to stop the Suez Crisis
>mutually putting pressure on Britain and the other European powers (like the Netherlands) to end their colonial empires
>both supplying Iraq against Iran during the Iran-Iraq War
>both agreeing to an embargo on South Africa
>both agreeing to progressive nuclear disarmament
>Russia helping supply the US invasion of Afghanistan
>USA and Russia both bombing ISIL in Syria and sometimes sharing intelligence
>USA bombing the hell out of ISIL in Iraq while Russia provides material support to the Iraqi government

They also cooperated against Biafra.

O SAY CAN YOU SEE?

So there are a lot of Free Cities in North Italy
Venice sees this and thinks "I can take those and make those mine"
The Pope wants there to be Free Cities in North Italy
He gathers people to stop Venice
France, however, also thinks "I can take those and make those mine"
So now there are a lot of French North Italian cities rather than Free or Venetian North Italian Cities
The Pope turns to Venice and says "You know how to take North Italian Cities?"
Venice says "Yes"
So Venice leads the charge back against France as the Swiss join in with Christendom
The King of France dies and the new King doesn't want to at war with, well, Christendom
Still wanting to have some North Italian cities, he asks Venice if they would like to take the other half of the North Italian cities if they agreed to not fight
And so they did, and there were not a whole lot of Free Cities in North Italy and they did war

>In the meantime, upon receiving a SOS sent by the ship, an institution concerned in the DPRK officially informed the International Maritime Organization and the Piracy Reporting Centre of the IMB stationed in Malaysia of the incident and asked for help.
>At the request of the above-said centre, U.S. navy's destroyer James E. Williams and a helicopter rushed to the scene and helped the DPRK sailors in fighting, threatening the pirates over walkie-talkie.
>As a result, at around 16:30 on Oct. 30, i.e. about 20 hours after the start of the fight, the pirates dropped arms and surrendered. The ship was completely recaptured by its sailors.
>One pirate was killed and six crewmen of the DPRK were wounded in the fight.
>A surgeon of the U.S. destroyer provided first-aid treatment and other medical service to our wounded crewmen.
>Our cargo ship made a safe voyage to its destination through a regular sea route.
>The pirates' recent armed attack on our trading ship was a grave terrorist act perpetrated against a peaceful ship.

>It is the consistent principled stand of the DPRK government to oppose all sorts of terrorism.
>As shown by our crewmen through their actions, it is the disposition of the Korean people to fight out any terrorist act on the spot though they are empty-handed.
>We feel grateful to the United States for its assistance given to our crewmen.

...

...

Damn, which battle was this?

Iran-Iraq war

>large scale lend lease to Russia

basically this.

The Americans and British supported the Nazis through the 30s both in Germany and Spain because they were afraid for their tight puckers from the communist revolution spreading to Europe

Than they supported the communists when the Nazis got out of hand.

Than they turned again against the communists

>US bombing the hell out of ISIL

Nigger what?

You call that tickling, diversionary airstrikes "bombing"?

USA is supporting ISIS through all of its middle eastern proxies. It's literally their biggest player in this game (fighting Iran's proxies in Iraq, including the heavily Iranian infiltrated Iraqi government, fighting Russians, fighting Russia's little boy, Bashar)

you are fucking delusional if you think USA is focusing real airstrikes on ISIS when they are still fighting this hard.

If anything they were diversionary strikes inside Syria, whenever ISIS attacked USA's open puppets (other rebel groups) or USA's 2nd Israel (kurds) they hit them until they go back into being good boys and attacking Syria's regime or the Iraqi government.

>US is in charge of airstrikes in Iraq
>Russia is in charge of airstrikes against Syria
>IS getting raped in Iraq
>IS is fine in Syria

nigga you dumb

>ISIS is getting raped in Iraq

Where's the proof, fag?

They're holding Mosul for over 2 months

and are you fucking seriously gonna try to convince me Russia isn't hitting their puppet's enemy and their enemy's puppet with all they got?

Shouldn't you be busy abandoning Palmyra again?

PERFIDIOUS

ALBION

The Nigerian Civil War got pretty weird. You had the United States, Britain, Israel and the Soviet Union all cooperating with the Nigerian government. While Biafra had support from some neighboring African states, Portugal and France.

Two bitter ideological rivals united to take down the turbonigger of Europe

>turbonigger of Europe

keke'd

>Russia and the GOP fighting together against the Clinton campaign/deep state in 2016 election

Truly a case of bitter enemies uniting against the greatest evil in the world

but Germany is the Turbonigger of Europe, they always have been and always will be

Was the Kurdish civil war the greatest example of an autistic kid punching himself in the gut?

Forgot pic

>tfw you realise that American foreign policy since 2000 has been consistently directly helping Iran

Every time a crusade was called, all of Christendom or parts of it later on, would unite.

No, Germany is like the only economically successful country in Europe. Poland are the niggers.

>demand accession to EU
>flood western countries with cheap labour and toilet cleaners
>send all their earned money back home
>all they bring is drugs, prostitutes, cheap source of porn, and human trafficking
>keep demanding more gibs from Germany while constantly whinging about the holocaust to which they were party
>when a refugee crisis occurs, Germany asks them to do their fair share under the EU human rights convention and accept some refugees so Germany alone doesn't have to bear the burden
>"REEEE YOU MUDSLIME LOVING NAZIS, WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO ACCEPT HUMAN RIGHTS CONVENTIONS ON REFUGEES THAT I AGREED TO, GIVE MORE GIBS!!!"

>Imperial Russia puts its fleet under US command if the Anglo-French intervene during the RCW

Source? Sounds rather interesting.

>Lithuania takes Poland
Just as funny as Austria being under a PU with Portugal
>the pope was immoral in signing the reichkoncorstadt

t. bitter germ

What's wrong with not taking refugees in?
