@itschover no bro quite the opposite. nat guard loved it and we got so many head turns and people taking photos and stuff. couple people saluted me and we even had a guy randomly strike up a conversation w us about north korean movies cause my friend (chudjak) was wearing my nk navy uniform
@itschover larp. we went to the american history museum in uniform and screwed around in georgetown after sundown. then we went home and played heads up for like three hours straight
the majority is correct. undefined win conditions aside, this boils down to 3-4 competent north african armies without ability to sustain themselves domestically and they cannot outlast the largest industrial empires in the world, even if they are primitive versions
During the Chinese Warlord Era, international powers prohibited the import of military weapons. However, pistols were classified as civilian/police weapons and were exempt. Because of this, the Mauser C96 "Box Cannon" 盒子炮, became popular, even by the Chinese military
@SaC_HamasBrasil no, absolutely not. the neocolonialism schtick is played out. these countries have long since sank or swam on their own and they have generally chosen to sink; as to 1950, that was purely because america forced them out with international pressure, it's neither here nor there
@SaC_HamasBrasil *when i say africa i mean subsaharan. NA has done much better in terms of development and industry but is still far from self-sustaining
if that's the case [reverse engineering] then it should OBVIOUSLY have been done already. billions of dollars have been thrown at this issue and yet africa has failed to come up with anything resembling self-sustaining consumer industry, not to mention military, i see zero indication that this would change in this scenario. they are a non-player outside of south africa, who i don't think would ever fall to european invasion tbf simply due to geography
north africa MAY fall assuming in the long-run if they run out of everything that's irreplaceable and have to deal with a europe that's given time to develop comparatively equivalent weapons, but i do think it's not super likely. in that case the best thing for africa would just be a stalemate
