The Albanian who resurrected Egypt without speaking a word of Arabic.
Muhammad Ali Pasha, born of Albanian parents in Kavalla, arrived in Egypt in 1801 as a junior Ottoman officer. Within 4 years he was Viceroy. He abolished the Mameluke dynasty in a single night (1811), centralised power, modernised the army & laid the foundations of the modern Egyptian state.
As Prof. Roy Casagranda notes this Albanian didn’t just govern Egypt; he recreated it from the ruins of Ottoman neglect and Napoleonic disruption.
His dynasty ruled Egypt until 1952. His mosque still dominates Cairo’s skyline. 200 years on, his aura is inescapable.
🇦🇱 Albania gave Egypt its greatest builder. History rarely gets the credit right.
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.
“LeBron would average 50 ppg in the 1998 finals”
Meanwhile when Bron was guarded by this SAME exact 90s defense by Jason Kidd, who was 38 years old and only 6’4”. He got CLAMPED and was held to 8 points 🤣😂
What do you call it when Muslims and Christians literally build each other’s mosques and churches? 🇦🇱
In Albania, it’s not mere tolerance...it’s blood-solid brotherhood.
You tricked us once. You won’t trick us twice.
Yet some still think faith can divide us.
Think again 🤡
Bron ain't won an MVP since 28. Goat MJ was still winning em at 35
Bron ain't been on an all-defensive team since 29. Goat MJ was still making all-defensive 1st Team at 35
MJ's peak was miles longer than LeBrons. Bron stans post conspiracy theories to cope 🥺
