Now, now xenon, I've seen some clips from "Conquest", and the Europeans aren't depicted very brightly either :D

He was a royal hostage to Istanbul for much of his childhood (like his brother), trained and raised like the son of any high ranking Turk noble. He probably knew Mehmed from childhood. Unlike his brother Radu he never embraced the Turkish culture and when he ascended to the Wallachian throne...

@Rumelia , bingo, that's the one: 'Sons of Anarchy' star Charlie Hunnam talks about his screenplay for 'Vlad' (sorry, no vampires) | Inside Movies | EW.com Now this something to look forward to :D Wonder is Stephen the Great appears in the movie ?:what:

Just saw the trailer myself last night... depressing. The producer used to direct commercials, and it shows..the movie has that distinct 300'ish look to it...not looking forward to that at all.. There was a project in the works for a Hollywood movie based on the real life of Vlad Dracula (no...

Any chance they visit Bucharest? Anyone know? Looks very interesting

Rule of the law - they can't act until that clown does something illegal. From what I've read he didn't actually break any laws, as his speech doesn't fall under hate crime,...so he's free to continue spewing trash like a garbage bin.. Muslim organizations in the UK should combat this trash...

Word of advice, India, China and Egypt would also be classified as a "barbarians" by the romans, the term,as used in that context, doesn't mean exactly what you think it means.And yes, there were advanced culture in Europe before (or parallel) with the Romans & Greeks. Anyway, I read this...

Most influential empire in history..

Hannibal, son of Hamilcar Barca - Cannae was a masterpiece, imho the best field general in history

I don't see how that's a surprise, Iranian and USA interests are aligned for some time now. The problem was always the Mullah regime, Iran's threat to Israel and the crucial thing, that Iran wants to be the top dog in the region, while at the same time not being aligned to the USA. That's the...

Nimic nou sub soare, daca stai sa te gandesti...daca ar fi dupa unii din vest am fi iar moneda de schimb. Noroc cu Americanii ca-i mai tin in frau..chestia e ca trebuie sa facem si noi ceva, ne trebuie armata si ne trebuie o cooperare mai stransa cu polonezii, si eventual cu turcii, pe langa...

Security. Something that Germany can't guarantee..and trying to reach deals with the Russians doesn't help. You should remember that Germany isn't in the EU for altruist reasons and had huge to profit from the Euro (and even from those beggar countries) .EU is in everyones interest, and more so...

You invited us in, remember? Alternatively, you can always kick us and other "beggars" out and see how things play out from there. It's also funny how you forget that if it wasn't for the Americans you would now speak Russian, or be dead. I would love to have seen your rhetoric at work with...

Read this : Exclusive: As bank fines soar, U.S. threatened $16 billion BNP penalty | Reuters , BNP is trying to lower the fine to 10 billion $ through a settlement ....and they will pay every cent of it. USA owns the world financial system and that won;t change in our generation. If you don't...

Wow...look at a map of Europe and tell me how Russia will "advance in the Balkans" without going first through Ukraine and Romania? Ukraine isn't exactly an ally of Russia and Romania is in NATO and quite unfriendly towards Russia, to put it midely .. What I find quite funny is how good...

Why? I mean I can understand why a India-China-Russia alliance would be undesirable for USA, but why terrified? Besides the obvious, that USA/China/India have more problems between themselves than they have with Washington, India doesn't have any areas where it's interests collide with the USA...

No, not really. But it depends who is ask, I guess... Anyway, voted Israel because I don;t consider Turkey as ME

No, it should remain as it is now. A museum for all faiths to admire. There are enough Mosques and Cathedrals in the world for any pious to pray in, let this one continue to be what it is now, a marvel of architecture, and don't put a political or religious angle on it. Question: I hope not...

Great post, and I have high hopes that EU will shift more towards Iranian/North African and USA gas, after what happened in Ukraine. There are some problems, unfortunately.. 1- Iranian regime appears as unreliable, Mullahs and all.. (biggest problem, imho) 2- Russian influence in some western...

Step 1 : sale all you can to the west Step 2 : create alliance and complain against the west Logic = 0 Anyway, congratulations to China
