Good domestic leader but catastrophically shitty military commander.

...

like Hitler or Stalin, Saddam was never trained as a military academy, so he should have stuck to his political role as leader and not interfered with his generals.

...

Even with his flaws I can't get mad with him.

>6 replies in
>Already have 2/3 of Axis leaders

Did nothing wrong

Yes, where is Stalin?

The axis is the stupidest meme in history, the only ones who peddle it are the Americans to make it seem like their intervention in europe was somehow linked to the attack on them in pearl harbour.

In reality the Japs and Germans never co-operated. The Japs didn't even declare war on the Soviet Union, and kept trying to get the Germans to make peace with them. The German declaration of war on the US was not because of Japan, but rather because the US kept attacking German shipping.

If you want to look at actual ""axis"" countries, i.e. those that fought directly alongside Germany in military alliance, look at Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Finland.

Who dis Majestic Asian gentleman?

The French probably think of him and his descendants as traitors, but I think he is cool.

genghis khan probably

Are you the Burgundyfag who gave us a few amazing threads on Burgundy last year?

Not even memeing, Ghengis was the most amazing leader that ever lived.

>Unified a bunch of ragtag nomadic tribes
>Built an army strictly on meritocratic principles
>Managed to conquer his way to the largest contiguous Empire in human history, from the Baltics to the Pacific
>First world leader in history to guarantee complete freedom of religion
>Gave tax breaks to teachers and promoted learning
>Mantained a trade network of roads so safe it was said an elderly woman could carry a bag of gold from one corner of the empire to the other and nothing would happen to her
>Despite the stereotype, he was a learned man and an accomplished poet
>1% of all people in modern Eurasia descend from him because of how much he raped and whored around

History's greatest Alpha Male

No I am not, but I am sorry to have missed them.

What term would you prefer? The bad guys?

...

...

>never ever

...

Criminally underrated. He deserves the same fame that Alexander, Julius, and Hitler have.

Who do you think spread his sperm more, Genghis or Muhammad? Half of modern Muslims push the "I'm descended from the prophet" bs line

>Half of modern Muslims push the "I'm descended from the prophet" bs line
Considering how all Europeans are descended from Charlemagne and also from pretty much every other European who lived at the time and left offspring, it's not a bs line.

Was he a leftist? I'm asking unironically.

Didn't he introduce fiat currency and act totally irresponsible with it, causing a currency collapse?

Why does Saddam look like a shifty landlord that made all his money selling used cars?

Block your path

RETURN OF THE MOOSE

Because you described 50% of Iraqis living in the west.

Panarabism was a retarded idea.

elaborate

...

Do you think the sexual assault allegations are true?

How come no one has posted the monk-killing tradition breaking bad ass

Nobunaga

That was his grandson

what the fuck is that retarded sword.

FORTH EORLINGAS!

>muh nostrum
>muh ancestry that isnt even related to the romans

*blocks your path*
Dear cousin, have you forgotten your duty to me?

The sword of Islam, you Anglo pigdog.

Karolus Magnus

Never has a man stood so clearly in the name of virtue

kek, but seriously some of the speeches to the convention were god tier rhetoric

>post your personal favourite Veeky Forumstorical leaders

The guy literally did nothing wrong and was a sexy mother fucker to boot.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muammar_Gaddafi

How has nobody posted this guy?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt

lmao, no

>people still use my ugly iphone screencap a year and a half later
Spooky.

that's why I love him even more, he's everything I wanted to be and couldn't

cold hearted mass murderer
traitorous to his masters
fucked any girl he wanted
efficient in his maneuvers
everybody in the country shits his pants on just hearing his name

...

The ultimate comeback story?
(Some kind user will have to set the record straight for me, but from the scraps I remember:)

>exiled from all things political by Mao
>reduced to working menial tasks like a billion of your countrymen
>slow climb back to the top using your connections from half a century ago, until actually seeming like a successor to Mao
>kicked back to the ground, and think you're going to be executed for the greater part of a year
>Mao finally dies

>"I must unite the German peoples under separate flags", t. Louis-Napoléon.

If only he'd had his dream.

>purged from the party 4 (four) times
>still becomes leader
did the Gang of Four fear the revisionist warrior?

ataturk only one who comes to mind rn

he was certainly ahead of his time seeing as he wanted to have mosques and turks in berlin

Can't believe no one's posted Lee Kuan Yew yet

>Turned an abandoned old port into an economic powerhouse in 25 years
>Obliterates all other parties, arrests overzealous commies and sues shit-talkers into oblivion with impunity
>Largely purges corruption
>Sucks up western capital but doesn't whore out his country to foreigners
>Effective multicultural policy but maintains nationalism and traditionalism
>Largely removes welfare, emphasis on hard work and personal independence
>Does it all without begging for cash from the colonial oppressor

I know people give him a lot of shit, but he didn't give a fuck about what others thought most of the time anyway. All around great leader

m-muh canings though

Too bad he was ahead of his time. Arabs weren't ready for a visionary like Nasser.

Also he really enjoyed getting butt raped by big, burly, manly Turkish men.

Is that the kaiser?

Hello, mind if I create the face of Western Europe?

Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson
