It is not sufficient that I succeed – everyone else must fail. – Genghis Khan
History is replete with examples of formidable leaders – but one undeniable example is that of Genghis Khan, who was equal parts military genius, political statesman, and as often stated, “ruthless tyrant.”
Scant (and often contradictory) information is available about his early life; even his appearance and death. His personality has often been contrastingly portrayed, both by the people he conquered (as a blood-thirsty invader), and the people he united to lead (who revered him as the Great Khan).
Despite being vilified throughout most of history for the brutality of his campaigns (and his supposed penchant for female war booty), some modern biographers have endeavored to present a more “realistic” account of him; even debunking most claims about the “millions” he supposedly killed, and have noted that most of these figures came from Mongol propaganda intended to scare people into submission.
Nevertheless, while his legend continues to intrigue and fascinate historians even today, he still arguably remains the founder of the largest contiguous land empire in human history.
His early life and rise to power
Born as Temujin in around 1162, from an early age he contended with the brutal nomadic life (often replete with inter-tribal warfare) on the Mongolian Steppe. At age nine, rival Tatars poisoned his father and his own tribe later expelled his family, leaving his mother to raise her seven children alone. He then grew up hunting and foraging to survive, and may have even murdered his own half-brother in a dispute over food.
Rival clans abducted both him and his young wife Borte during his teens; he later spent time as a slave before making a daring escape. Despite all these hardships, he established himself as a formidable warrior and charismatic leader by his early 20s. After amassing an army of supporters, he began forging important tribal alliances; and by 1206, he had successfully consolidated the steppe confederations under his banner and began to turn his attention to external trade and conquest.
Between 1206 and his death in 1227, he conquered nearly 12 million square miles of territory—more than any individual in history. But alongside his ruthless campaigns through Asia and Europe that left “untold millions” dead, he also modernized Mongolian culture, embraced religious freedom and helped open contact between East and West – for he is also credited with bringing the Silk Road under one cohesive political environment.
The factors of his rise
How did a struggling nomad with inauspicious beginnings in the harsh Mongolian steppes – rise to lead an irresistible force which conquered more lands and people in twenty-five years than the Romans did in four hundred?
Analyzing his life reveals a lot of exemplifications of laws from The 48 Laws Of Power, and below are some lessons to be learned from his life which contributed to his ascent to power and success:
1. Loyalty and meritocracy
After his childhood adversities made him a keen student of human nature, Genghis was adept at both spotting opportunities in disguise, and also human talent and potential.
He founded his empire on meritocracy (the exception being himself and his family) and loyalty; and he usually promoted his officers on skill and experience rather than class, ancestry, or even past allegiances.
Two prominent examples were:
- Subutai : the son of an ordinary blacksmith, who later became Genghis’s primary military strategist and directed more than twenty campaigns in which he conquered thirty-two nations and won sixty-five pitched battles, during which he conquered or overran more territory than any other commander in history.
- Jebe: a rival Taijut soldier who nearly killed Genghis In 1201 during battle with an arrow. However, he was later made an officer in Genghis’s army and later nicknamed “Jebe,” or “arrow” – after stirring Genghis with his brave admittance to being the shooter after his tribe’s defeat, after Genghis demanded to know who was responsible.
Both of them would go on to become the Mongols’ greatest field commanders during subsequent conquests in Asia and Europe.
2. Patriotic loyalty and tribal cohesion
Genghis’s greatest success was unifying the diverse and unruly Mongol clans under one banner, and strongly emphasized patriotism.
If my body dies, let my body die, but do not let my country die. – Genghis Khan
Having grown up enduring an environment of tribal betrayals, his love of loyalty was such that he even executed his chief rival Jamukha’s betrayers on the principle that betrayal merits the harshest punishment, as loyalty remained a core tenet in the founding of his empire.
3. His cult leader status and self-belief
Genghis’s success depended quite a bit on his fearsome reputation, and his cult leader-like following among his people (Law 27), which he successfully propagandized through his behavior, his words, and his conquests to both friends and foes alike.
4. Minimalism and moderation
The Mongols were expert horsemen archers, and the harsh life of the steppe had actually honed them physically and psychologically for the ruthlessness of war. Even when he conquered vast territories, Genghis preferred the nomad’s simple yurt over luxurious shelters and ostentation.
As a ruler, he passed strict laws against drunkenness, and his own personal example of simplicity greatly influenced his supporters to follow suit and rally round him.
5. The value of alliances
Law 2: Never put too much trust in friends, learn how to use enemies – Genghis learned this the hard way in his friendship with Jamukha, and alliance with Senggum (both who later betrayed him) before he became the sole ruler of the Mongols. After losing his father early, Genghis’ mother impressed upon him the need to forge alliances when he was weaker, and his subsequent successful implementation later further exemplifies:
- Law 18: Do not build fortresses to protect yourself – isolation is dangerous
- Law 22 :Use the surrender tactic: Transform weakness into power
6. Strategic foresight and adaptability: Have an end to a goal in mind
The merit in action lies in finishing it to the end. – Genghis Khan
Directly referring to Law 29, Genghis’s military strategies displayed strategically planned deliberate moves, a deep interest in gathering good intelligence, and understanding the motivations of his rivals, all exemplified by his extensive spy network and Yam route systems.
Simultaneously, he adopted new technologies and ideas that he encountered, such as Chinese siege warfare – exemplifying the fluidity of Law 48 : Assume formlessness.
7. Understand your people
Genghis practiced religious toleration and was interested in learning philosophical and moral lessons from other religions (Buddhism, Taoism, Islam and Christianity) – which he probably utilized in formulating his own code to govern his people, the Yassa.
His practice of meritocracy and moderation when dealing with his people eventually endeared him to his people which eventually attracted him the mass of supporters – in contrast to the harsh ways his rival chieftains followed.
8. The use of fear
As many other rulers, Genghis was not averse to using fear to control and psychologically weaken his adversaries. Even though he famously stated “violence never settles anything” – Genghis’s military strategy and use of brutality and scorched earth policy were an exemplification of:
- Law 3: Conceal your intentions
- Law 15 :Crush your enemy totally
- Law 17: Keep others in suspended terror: cultivate an air of unpredictability
- Law 37: Create compelling spectacles
- Law 42: Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter
This eventually built his fearsome and formidable blood-thirsty reputation (often exaggerated by supporters and foe alike).
9. Courage
10. The apathy and unpreparedness of his adversaries
Conclusion
Genghis’s life exemplifies that it doesn’t always matter where you may start in life, and what actually matters is how you endure it and where you finish at.
In spite of probably lacking formal education, his military genius and wisdom stemmed from his open mind, his practice of meritocracy, and studying human life and nature around him.
Beneath his formidable reputation, was a nomad who refused to bow down to the miseries life would relentlessly inflict upon him, but instead rose to tame them – exemplifying fortitude in his rise to greatness.

SJW, Gender Studies Majors, lawyers and other riff faff would not survive in Genghis Khan’s world. I believe this book talks about how GK would usually kill all parasitic type professions like lawyers and “thinkers” and philosophers etc because they were useless. Artisans, craftsmen, tradesman all were honored in GK conquered lands.
philosophy is the founding stone of all sciences. without it, there would be no nuclear bomb. no, i am not being sarcastic.
sorry…Philosophy is important (critical actually) but I’ve read this book some years back and i believe GK didn’t have much use for you if you didn’t swing a hammer or did a trade. Bureaucrats and such he didn’t like and did away with…..
GK had a warrior culture so you had to meet a basic standard as a warrior to get any respect. Once you have demonstrated that, I think being an intellectual would be an honoured endeavor. But pissing and moaning like an SJW or being some weakling who chides warriors about how the world is would just get you thrown off a cliff or something.
.
I suspect he might have had some respect for military engineers, but maybe not given the horse culture.
Like you were saying … Without philosophy there would be no means for us to annihilate ourselves quickly >>>Nuclear Bomb.
Philosophy is hands down the most intellectually challenging and enriching non-STEM field (with economics as a close second) but in terms of pure logic and reasoning, philosophy majors rip the limbs from the arguments of STEM types and then beat them with the wet ends.
.
Philosophy is the foundation of STEM for the most part.
.
It’s a bit insulting to compare philosophy to what passes as “thinking” these days. In the past, it WAS the philosophers who did pretty much all the science and designed the shit that craftsmen could build.
.
As for lawyers, there is a joke about an artist, an engineer and a lawyer discussing the nature of God.
.
The artist says that God is an artist, painting creation on a canvas from nothing.
.
The engineer says that God is an engineer who formed order out of chaos.
.
And then the lawyer says “But who created the chaos in the first place?”
.
Most lawyers just have a job to do and the parasitical nature was created by SJWs and entrenched business interests who don’t want to make things easy nor simple.
.
If your car breaks down, you don’t blame the mechanic: it was either the people made the car or the ones who crashed into you.
Or in the lawyer’s mind….the people with money are the ones blamed. No on sues a broke mechanic when they can go for a big fish like an auto manufacturer or a soccer mom and her cadillac auto insurance.
Having been a lawyer, the problem is not lawyers, the problems is clients and a system that encourages mischief. That is why I got out of the game. I have enough troubles sleeping at night and washing every day that I didn’t like the job.
I can’t deny that: follow the money. And how are lawyers worse than their client or any other scum today?
So I do know a few lawyers whom are very happy with their jobs. They are all criminal prosecuting attorneys. The rest of the lawyers I know hate their jobs. But it pays damn well and they had put a lot of their own human capital into getting a degree so they sell their soul and health to do it.
I’m curious if as an ex-lawyer, you’d agree?
I hated law school and too many of the professors hated me so I came out with a B- GPA and that was not good enough to get into the government as either a crown attorney or as JAG. The only other field I really wanted to be in was entertainment law, but that is so specialized it is a pipe dream (that may yet come true, however).
,
I recall that there was some sort of meet-and-greet early on in law school and my first year criminal law professor (a lesbian activist) asked me if I wanted a career in criminal law. I said that I wanted to be a prosecutor and she asked me why. I said “Because I want to put scumbags in jail.”
.
She didn’t like that answer and said “Well, everyone has a story to tell.”
.
I said “Fine, then they can tell it from behind bars.”
I think most people go into Law because of the salary that comes with a job in the field and also because it’s a respected degree. I was speaking to someone and told him I dropped out of my first year doing it in a uni that required me to bust my ass to get into because I hated it and I was missing seminars and on the verge of being kicked out but my grades would always just about save me and added that I don’t want a career as a lawyer and he tells me if that’s the case it’s a waste of my time and money doing the degree and I don’t believe that but what do you think??
I never intended on making law a career, although I considered being a prosecutor and at one point I submitted an application to JAG. I wanted an advanced degree, a professional designation, a cash cow to milk long enough to pay off my student loans and then I was going to GTFO. I actually wanted to get into the movie industry. Most top producers and agents are/were lawyers.
.
Nothing turns out as intended. Now I teach ESL in China and design games as a sideline that might earn me more than I would as a lawyer.
.
I did my law degree just before they deregulated the tuitions in Canada so I was saddled with significant but not insane levels of student debt (which basically never goes away). I haven’t checked lately but the average is probably $10k a year or more in Canada, depending on where you go.
.
Sure, first year out you can make six figures with McCarthy Tetrault but you are working 90 hours a week and doing such life affirming tasks as picking up a partner’s dry cleaning.
.
Otherwise the economics are such that you can make about $60k a year if you treat it just as a job. If you are trying to hang your own shingle, then you either need industry contacts or else you will be getting family law and criminal cases (many of which are legal aid, which pays half or less of your normal billing rate).
.
Having a law degree helps with certain business careers and dealing with public policy, whether in the government or as a researcher, activist, think tank analyst etc.
.
If you have a silver spoon in your mouth, why not get a law degree? If you are of modest means and don’t really want to be a lawyer, then you should think twice or thrice about racking up debt to get your JD.
I’m from London so most of what you’re saying doesn’t relate to me but in terms of the debt it’s the same everywhere. I wanted to do English Literature for the longest time but my parents didn’t see the point of my spending 3 years doing a degree that according to them will at best land me a job as a teacher. They’re strange in that I can count on them to shell out the money for my degree so long as I do it on their terms, meaning if I decide to do my own thing, possibly move to the States, then I’m essentially on my own and I’ll have to rely on myself to pay off whatever debt I get into. I’m taking a gap year now because I’ll only be 19 for so long and should make the most of it while I still can with work experience at law firms and travelling instead of being stuck in a lecture hall listening to someone drone on about something I don’t give a fuck about. I’m actually leaving for China after my upcoming trip. I have a friend whose decided to move there and he said he’s there for “chink pussy” though I take it he’s half joking. What made you want to do Law as a degree? I was under the illusion that my passions and sentiments regarding certain issues would be best channeled if I studied Law but that’s not the case (try listening to someone talk about Parliamentary Sovereignty and devolution and the UK constitution and you’ll never attend another Public Law lecture again!) Essentially, law is boring and it’s politics students who were focusing on subject areas I had an interest in but I’m not getting into that boat. More than anything, I stopped attending seminars because of the insane pressure that came with sitting through them, you get called on to answer a trick question on a part of the designated case that you most likely could not get to during the “reading process” and I was lucky because there were guys who were willing to help me with catching up after I stopped attending and one even spent 3+ hours photocopying his specialised Law guide near exam time for me but my motivation was pathetic. How was yours?
good deal……the last thing the usa needs is another lawyer
I can think of a bunch of things the usa doesn’t need but I wouldn’t start at lawyers
litigation has driven up the cost of doing business…….insurance lawyers dictate small business policy……..i could go on and on, but the fear normal people have of being sued is palpable
SJW and GSM would definitely have been purged out of Khan’s world, but the useful philosophies (science, Aristotelian logic, engineering) would likely have been permitted to survive. He did not stamp out Confucianism or Buddhism in his time, after all, because they were valuable for his purposes.
SJW wouldn’t even survive in this world outside of privileged western bubbles
excuse me for straying off topic here , but a lot of interesting martial arts and fighting methods have come from the mongol and Chinese influences and their cultures. the art of kuntao for example . with respect MR.” death to equality ” xu , I always enjoy your post , and I wouldn’t know if your into martial arts, but if that be one of your interest are they any good books you have read on the that subject that you can recommend? especially books on taiji tren
Begs the question if philosophy/academics adds value to a society, or if it just a nuisance.
I would say it does, but I welcome an opposing view.
I welcome an opposing view, <<<an open mind thinking.
Off with his head!
Great post Clark, really got me interested:
Philosophy (pondering on and about the workings of everything) and academics (generally institutionalized means of instruction) are both double-edged swords. Combined with the nature of man (to seek out power, ultimately breaking into a hierarchy of leaders/followers ) they can be both creative and destructive. Employed in benevolent pursuits they may even yet, despite best intentions, become oppressive/harmful as that can be quite a relative state. When put to malicious use harm is guaranteed. But who can say which intent is which at the time?
All social units follow a cycle (micro would be a pair-based relationship like marriage, macro would be entire civilizations) that is more or less: genesis/ development, sustainability/stability, excess/decadence, complacency/depravity, totalitarianism/decline, collapse/re-birth (which may be an entirely new society or one formed on the remains of the old). Misapplications of either philosophy or academics (or both) acts as a catalyst in hastening the end of the cycle (men will only be oppressed or cowed so long by force for example) as does external influence (invasion, global economics, global politics) which can even end the cycle prematurely.
While initial proper use of philosophy/academics gains advancements in technology, medicine, scholarly endeavors, and infrastructure, unfortunately these advancements are once more at odds with human nature, and nature as a whole for that matter: prolonging life, providing resources for ever more numerous populace, and protecting the “weak” from culling. The devices needed to maintain this denial of nature (usually happen during the abundance or excess phase) then become philosophies to be indoctrinations of academia enforced by the “state” and we have social justice thereby (through oppression) hastening the completion of the cycle once again.
I would say that philosophy as a personal pursuit, as a means for self-improvement, and as a mental exercise is good and as a better person you may have a more valuable impact on those around you. Sharing that wisdom, through academics or otherwise, may also have positive mutual effects. This type of personal development I would even call an essential pillar to a complete man. But given to society there has to be balance, there has to be an active interest/responsibility for their use taken, and there has to be an acknowledgement of the natural state of reality or there will be ruin. As of yet, no civilization has gotten it right, and if divorce rates are any indicator, it’s not much easier when you add just a few disparate individuals to the equation.
Good post.
I heard about an exercise that took place in more recent China. When a new leader came to power, he ordered the execution of all academics/authority figures/scientists etc. (anyone who would question the state). The result was more government power, but a weakened intellectual economy that cost them. Sure they had “social order” but they fell behind in competing in the global market.
This was from a conversation with a Chinese friend of mine though I don’t remember the details. I’m guessing he was talking about Mao but it was anecdotal, he was sharing stories told by his elders.
cultural revolution
Yeah Mao HATED intellectuals and would have them executed
Philosophy is the foundation of all knowledge. The word itself means “love knowledge”.
.
You could ask the same question about soldiers in the grand scheme of things. Or entrepreneurs.
.
You can have scam artists and innovators; you can have people who take up arms for all sorts of reasons; and you can have thinkers who use their skills for better or for worse.
.
There can be the good fight, the bad fight, and the nuisance engagement. Same same in all fields.
I see the primary difference between first world and developing nations is the presence of philosophy and academics. Perhaps it is just coincidence and not causation, but North America, Western Europe, China, Australia, Russia, all have well established philosophical and academic institutions. The middle east, which used to be a hotbed of philosophy, learning, and thought, is now devoid of such academic pursuits.
Philosophy is dying in the west, and the west is declining. Academic achievement is disappearing (see: Idiocracy). Nations like China are holding on to their Confuscionism and doubling down on advanced education, sending Chinese to the west to learn, and then bringing most of them back home (although a whole lot of them are spread out ALL over the world, developing and controlling resources and people all over the planet). It is almost universally accepted that the next superpower will be China or some Asian conglomeration. US Power and Influence has been declining for decades.
I’m fairly ignorant of Genghis Khan (and even get him confused with Attilla the Hun) but it appears that his empire crumbled, and he did not have sufficient philosophy / institutions to support his beliefs. I would throw religion into the mix with philosophy and academics as well. I don’t think it really matters what superstition one believes in, only the noble lie should be thoroughly spread through the society (Plato).
Great post.
Philosophers get society to think about the deeper issues of the ‘why’. Still need the engineers, artisans and technicians to handle the nitty gritty of the ‘how’. My take.
You would have lawyers but they would manifest in a different way. Similarly, you would have philosophers. Ghenghis was too smart to think that clear thinking about issues of justice, right and wrong, what is and what isn’t etc. was useless.
The Wrath of the Khans series from the Hardcore History podcast is a must-listen:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6shDsLRHoQ
This is an excellent podcast, as well as Carlin’s other work – Common Sense. I found him attempting to search for some George Carlin material 🙂
love dan carlin’s stuff. ‘blueprint for armageddon’ is his most recent (on world war I); spell-binding program.
yes good stuff thanks!
There’s also a lesson to be learned from the reverse, Chinese point of view
Song China was a golden age, the technological apex of Chinese civilization resulting from massive economic growth in the south. The Song population doubled with agricultural reforms, making it the most populous nation on the planet. It was also the age of newly invented gunpowder weapons.
Yet, it was not able to resist invasions from comparatively backwards, northern tribesmen. The Jurchens invaded and took a huge chunk of Song territory, followed by the Mongols who destroyed both Jin and Southern Song.
Why? While it’s not the only factor, Chinese history has often lamented the state of men from that era. Effeminate, intellectual, foppish men who “discussed the fine points of calligraphy while city after city fell in the north”. Defectors who did not believe in the will and purpose of their own nation. Bureaucrats who were more resentful towards the national government than they were the existential threats on the border.
In other words, Song society was a victim of its own wealth and comfort.
Something to think about
What you say echoes some of the themes of the book by Sir John Glubb: “The Fate of Empires”
Do read it..It is perhaps the finest book on the rise and fall of empires..and is only 26 pages long..and available freely online
This is probably the best thing I’ve ever read in my life. Thank you for sharing it. I believe that short essay deserves a blog in it’s own right.
Thank youthank you that you liked it…I have restructured my life around serious hard work,meditation, spirituality and temporary celibacy upon reading this essay ..if I achieve greater heights. It may turn to full celibacy…I am doing a small app..if it. Gets finished in next two months I will post an article on this essay on ROK
Very cool! I wish you luck in your
pursuits. Celibacy isn’t something I will ever pursue in my own life, but
the thought of having a family, and then raising men and women who embody good characteristics
has deeply been reawakened within me.
The decadence surrounding me in the states specifically NJ/NY metro area
have made me unfulfilled and a bit depressed the past 10 years. I’ve been contemplating leaving the US for a
long time and I believe this article may be what pushes me to fulfill that
reality and find my more spiritual side.
Stacking cash was always my goal, now I think “living a full life” with
a meaning beyond wealth should be my focus.
durty, you took the words right out of my mouth.
Very good point but to add to that there was a huge issue if trade. Most if not all Chinese were forced to stop trade with the Mongols as they were viewed as savages. Without trade the Mongols began to starve bc they were nomadic and lacked the safety of crops. It was unify or die for the Mongols and as soon as they invaded the Chinese seemed to put up very little resistance.
So, essentially, this was the Eastern equivalent of the Roman Empire declining and ultimately falling.
The same would probably apply equally well to the middle eastern Islamic civilization which got rekt mainly by the 2nd generation of Mongol conquest. It also had its share of elite decadence.
Thus, as the Mongols laid waste to the two most advanced Eurasian civilizations of the time, they unintentionally cleared the field for the rise of Western civilization to prominence.
Chinese leaders could be effeminate but the war tactics of Genghis were homosexual. His main tactic consisted in threw arrow and ran away on their ponys. One and other turn until all enemies have received a arrow. Then they killed all civilians that they could haven seen. I sure Chinese army were not so gay. Khans was also absolutely incapable of prolong their empire because you can’t rule an empire on a horse. As Genghis said: at the moment we’ll get down of our horses (throw arrows and get away) they’ll kick our asses. At least Genghis fucked a lot of girls
Yes nomadic horse people can win many battles with mobility and flexibility….creating a civilization not so much. I love how everyone gets so hard on conquering middle age siberia with a total population of the time of two. The british empire held land in every single time zone.All of India/australia/canada/2 thirds of africa That’s alpha.
Mobility and flexibility sound too masculine and advanced like blitzkrieg, or something shock troops as the Companion of Alexander the Great, but it wasn’t.
europeans after later now and in future, see and balance (pics disordered)
that’s funny
LMAO
Yes those manly Spartans surrendered when confronted by gay archers.
it’s considered “cowardice” to some culture but it’s a war tactic… Modern day Guerilla warfare… hit and run. Make the enemy chase you and trap them into booby trap or ambush. Plus because of steppes environment, the Mongols had advantage. They basically lived on horses and Mongol babies learned how to ride horses before they can even walk. They had mobility and speed. However they did not fare well on sea because that was their unfamiliar terrain.
Nuke all the people on a nation could also be a war tactic. But it is still coward and inhuman.
If Genghis had had the nuke bomb they would have nuked everybody
you think there is a concept of “honor” in a war? Maybe there could be, but the goal is to either defeat your enemy, stop some or gain some in advantage, crush your enemy completely, obliterate, genocide or whatever…
war is NOT pretty…. real war, you see dead bodies, mangled up corpses, women raped, kids sold into slavery…. war is horrible and it’s not pretty…. in war, there are no rules… your aim is to survive and kill your enemy… nuking happens to be most efficient, deadly, but horrific.
It is coward and inhuman but also it’s a war tactic. I’m not advocating that nuke should be dropped but back in history like in 12th century, when there were no nukes, the empires had to use whatever method to win battle and war.
Like I said, it’s cowardice to some but it’s still war tactic.
Only a foolish General enters a fair fight.
No one remembers the “brave”.
The dissenters really needs to listen to Englishbob here. He’s dropping some real wisdom. Entering a fair fight is okay if it’s a fist to fist boxing match and you know the worst thing that is going to happen is someone get’s knocked out. If you had to defend your children from a robber, murderer, rapist, whatever, wouldn’t you hope you had a gun and he had a knife. War is like that, only scaled up a million times. We used the nuke when we were the only country that had a nuke. The only reason we haven’t used one since then is because other countries have nukes. People use new tactics, strategies and technologies all the time in war. The only reason America is dominant in war is our dominant technology and some would say our better strategies. Yet our better strategies can’t fully oust the gorilla tactics of terrorist groups. In war you always fight to your advantages and if you don’t, you die. Period. You can even find in the bible instances of a disadvantaged hebrew force beating a rival by utilizing better tactics and strategies.
Well said. It annoys me when people say (for example) you don’t need an “assault” rifle, a pistol should be enough for home defense. I always counter with: “So if some lunatic breaks into your house and threatens your family do you want a fair fight or overwhelming force on your side?”
But everyone remembers the winner. Except if winners are white, in this instance there is no war victory only genocide. P.S. the braves are remembered when they won.
Indeed. Honor is a social construct and win is a empirical thing hahaha.
Honor and moral sense is the two things that separate Europeans from global domination and women from kitchens.
I remember Napoleon, Wellington and Nelson. White winners who used superior strategy to win. Is this brave or being a coward?
Brave. And Mongols were brave too. Middle Age Europeans were stupid fighters obsessed with abstract values like brave, honor and display it on battlefield with melees. That supposed a overwhelming shock of war styles. Mongols with their pragmatic war strategy versus the useless European values. Europeans got what they deserve to get, a shock of facts in the way of Mongolian warriors.
Now European values are a threat again and only a pragmatic vision of the world can save us from this massive idiocy.
This massive idiocy is feminism and nany state?
“Only a foolish General enters a fair fight.”
words of wisdom right here folks
“Yet our better strategies can’t fully oust the gorilla tactics of terrorist groups.”
I dont know how much sarcasm is in that point….but we arent using our better strategies. better strategies are not defined as politics that dictate what war generals can and cannot do. The military genius of America that started with George Washington has basically died.
“We used the nuke when we were the only country that had a nuke. The only reason we haven’t used one since then is because other countries have nukes.”
while somewhat true….the only reason we never dropped a third one on Japan is because we lacked a third one at the time. I think the truth is we lost our balls. have failed to upgrade our defense systems past 60s technology and like idiots failed to guard our best weapon aka nukes.
in a hypothetical scenario if we were still the only nuke bomb holding country…..today in 2015 we would not do wha we did to Japan in WW 2.
it should also be noted if it came down to a nuclear slugfest, despite politicians acting like idiots of the highest order at least publically declaring they are getting rid of our nuclear stockpile, our nuclear stockpile is lightyears ahead of anyone else…..for every nuke launched at us we can unleash 10. though it doesnt matter when your country is run by women and manginas and the citizens are just as bad.
I think the best to put it is go to a fist fight unarmed but with friends with guns hiding under the bush just in case a code is violated
Only a fool would not have some insurance
How about challenging someone to a fist fight and when he raises his fists you pull out a gun and blast him.
Are you allowed to have semi automatic rifles in England? I just figured the English were screwed even long knives are not allowed.
Sadly not. You can have other guns but only if they are securely locked away. We wouldn’t want any accidents now would we?
I enjoy collecting guns as a hobby but a lot of other Americans don’t think there is a reason to own a semi automatic rifle but, I have mine in the event that our nation breaks apart. I don’t want to be like the sheep who have been slaughtered throughout history. A well armed citizenry is less likely to be rounded up and murdered. A totalitarian government and even a democratic one is less likely to push around people who fight back.
I think that if people don’t think that there is a need to have an full or semi auto rifle then they don’t have to have one. Its this attitude that you or I don’t need it either that annoys me.
Some people have this peculiar need to make others live their lives the same way they do. And of course this attitude is the root of totalitarianism.
As the aggressor, you have to deal with the consequences. You might win this one fight, but you have set the terms for how people should deal with you.
Yes, using a superior method of combat than your enemy is gay. Winners are gay, real men lose.
You’re confusing tactical efficiency with being brutal for brutality’s sake. The Athena approach vs the Ares approach. The Mongols were mobile & rarely had a standing garrison to draw their numbers from. Pitting one’s strengths against the weaknesses of one’s foe is smart & increases one’s odds of winning. Knowing how to win & winning is alpha.
All you guys should watch this(and all the other) “Engineering an Empire” episodes. The Chinese built the largest trading fleet the world had ever known- 100 years before the Spanish and Portuguese started dominating the Atlantic.
The largest ship was the length of a football field, and it was made of wood!
What happened to their fleet? Well, the successor of the emperor who built this fleet demanded they be destroyed of course…
OMG!
Length of a football field? Nothing the ancient peoples of the Mediterranean didn’t have.
Since China was so grand once upon a time, why has it failed so ever since? For the better part of a millennium it has been the “sick man of Asia”.
Never knew that such large ships existed outside of china at the time.
Where can I find more about that?
The following video might be able to assist with that.
It opens with an Egyptian super ship, longer than a football field, that was used to transport the Hatshepsut Obelisk, which dates to 1457 BC. That’s 2,825 years before the start of the Ming Dynasty & its vaunted fleet.

Appreciated. In my research I only found Chinese ones.
China was so grand that its royal leaders did not perceive the rest of the world to have anything that China did not already possess. Thus the Ming Emperors Hongxi and Xuangde decreed that Zheng He’s sea voyages be discontinued and the fleet destroyed. The voyages of Zheng He had the potential to increase Chinese commercial influence in the Indian Ocean in the 1500s, but in the end the chauvinists won and look at what happened! Imagine the future of European overseas exploration if stronger Chinese influence in the Indian Ocean had been the result of these sea voyages. It might have even resulted in the Chinese settling Australia 300 years before the British! The Opium Wars of the mid 19th Century would have had a different result from what actually happened.
In the following centuries the Chinese did not really keep up with developments in other countries, thus allowing the Europeans to establish overseas empires in distant corners of the world and ultimately threatening China with superior military technology and large-scale commercial influence. The 108 years between 1842 and 1950 are known to almost every Chinese person as the “Century of Humiliation”; due to China becoming technologically backward as a result of not keeping up with advances in other parts of the world, especially those of the Europeans, the country was unable to decisively defeat the British and other Europeans, and later Japan, and expel them all from home turf until the mid-20th Century.
But
ChinaJyna never did manage to accomplish that, so the “Century of Humiliation” continues, especially as China’s precarious false prosperity at present comes because they’ve stolen IP from the West and made knockoffs and sold themselves out as cheap labor to the West.I’ve heard that the Chinese still praise the Flying Tigers and the Allies as a whole for delivering them from the Japanese. In light of China’s communism and shameless propaganda pushes to gin up a hollow, unearned sense of nationalism, and how any talk of WW2 would get dangerously close to Mao’s rather ignominious actions in that conflict, I’ve found that hard to believe.
Nice explanation not to mention that with the growth of urban population so did despotism. Genghis was a tyrant too no doubt about that but your average Mongol was probably more free within his tribe and kin that your Han Chinese under the Song bureaucracy.
Yes I agree. From Southern Song dynasty’s point of view, Jurchens were considered “barbaric and uncouth” and even the Jurchens considered the Mongols “barbaric and uncouth” so basically they underestimated each other. Southern Song was complacent and comfortable with their state of being. Mongols were hungry for more land and hell bent on conquering.
Never get too comfortable.
i agree……..and i believe the usa is barreling down the same path of failure at breakneck speed
And the Islamists are knocking on our door just as old Uncle Genghis and his boys knocked on Song China’s. Great analogy Terry. Barbarians are indeed at the gates.
Effeminate, intellectual, fappish men is what we have today…
Heh.
Perfectly in synch with today’s western world, lol.
Men must maintain their skill for war and keep the edge of the sword sharp, lest his enemy bludgeon him with the dull edge of a club.
This sounds VERY familiar.
Cavalry and unbridled masculinity must’ve scared the officers of those poor conscripted Chinese soldiers so awfully.
Another parallel I’d like to draw is that the Chinese had built armies to engage in a conventional ‘honorable’ style of warfare.
Just like the Brits who were unable to contain the American colonies two and a half centuries ago.
Oddly similar to the Western armies who are refusing to play dirty in order to effectively counter guerrilla-style terror attacks in this modern age…
All at the behest of the most pretentious, spineless, and naive fairymen these bountiful lands have to offer…
Western Armies are bogged down by bureaucratic BS and Political Correctness, they dare not step on a cats tail for fear of being persecuted by their own and getting a dis-honourable discharge.
If they did not have to fight with one hand tied behind their back and forced to be gentlemen on the battlefield, I am sure we would see the tide turn very quick, or just get some Russian / Chechen forces in they don’t have these problems.
They are too busy simply trying to stay employed.
Yep. ROE are ridiculous at best. Win the hearts and minds sounds so… special.
I wonder when it was decided that a powerful army should do anything other than brutally crush its opposition. Wonder if it had anything to do with the bomb…
Nonetheless, I’d ammend your statement to ‘both hands tied behind their back and forced to be bitches.’
Sounds like 富不過三代 (Wealth never lasts three generations.) The first generation struggles to make it and succeeds, the second generation does not have to struggle as much, but knows about the struggles of the previous one. The third generation neither struggles nor remembers what struggle is, thus ensuring that their children have no choice but to struggle. Apparently there are some rich families out there that always keep this lesson in mind so that their descendants may never have to know either poverty or bondage.
The lessons of your observation cannot be over-stressed. Any great country requires constant vigilance and bold & timely action to remain a great country. I sometimes wonder if the US has already en route to becoming a failure on account of its success. In the 19th Century the US was practically a Third World country, so the only way to go was up and forward. In the 20th, the US was an emerging world power, both militarily and commercially, which allowed Americans of the post WW2 era to begin enjoying a standard of living higher than that of their parents and grandparents. In the 21st, it’s still too early to tell, but the US is at yet another historical crossroads. I think a World War 3 is not too far off in the future, but it will not be anything like World War 2. In fact, its scale and effect on civilian life might be more far-reaching. I think the millennials have the potential to become the next “Greatest Generation”, but they must first study how the previous Greatest Generation came into existence. Not to mention keeping alive the historical memory of America’s past; the 19th Century was a different time and place, so many of the things that are unconditionally condemned by today’s young adults, such as slavery, racism, and child labor, were seen as necessary back then. Slavery because achieving high levels of economic production before the rise of mechanized industry required huge amounts of labor and often slavery was the only way to achieve it. Racism because social cohesion was often vital to maintaining civil society intact and uniting behind skin color, culture, and social class were the most practical ways to do this. (In the 20th Century, the speed at which information could be transmitted, mainly through newspapers and radio, would begin to have an effect on race relations in the US.) Child labor because, at least among the poor, EVERYONE had to work to make ends meet and this meant putting kids to work as soon as practicable.
As well, it pays to keep in mind that the US, while still the most powerful country on earth, has to deal with a changing geopolitical landscape, with Russia and China being the biggest rivals. In turn, the young adults of the US have to adapt to the small-scale changes set into motion by these large-scale ones.
Holy shit im so overjoyed that you guys did an article on genghis khan- his military exploits and lessons about life is something that should be discussed by all men- although we are (arguably) no longer living in such a barbaric time, the fact that he achieved so much during the course of his life is something that we, as men, should hold in respect and the highest esteem possible.
He belived in a meritocracy which, for the time period, was a pretty radical idea. It makes me wonder about todays state of affairs inregards to quotas and participation trophies- there is a reason why competion is important to men and society alike- when you take that away, everyone suffers.
Im an avid believer in the phrase that “those who do not know history are doomed to repeat It” and also that “history is written by the victor” and both of these ring true for genghis’ story- he slaughtered a literal shitload of people and yet we hold him in a positive light (maybe not the chinese, heh.) Additionally as highlighted through this awesome article, his lessons are something we can all learn from that will help us in our day to day lives.. Odd point but I sometimes wonder what if a genghis khan-like individual rose up in Africa and managed to unite all the warring tribes under one banner so-to-speak. But I digress.
Excellent article but one suggestion from myself- I believe that there are 4 individuals who are men we should really try to emulate in our day to day lives- genghis khan is one of them, but there is also julius caeser, alexander the great and hannibal the conquerer and if the author of this article (or any other writer) wanted to publish an article on any of these three great individual s (julius has a month named after him for christs sake!) It would certainly be a great addition to this website.
“genghis khan is one of them, but there is also julius caeser, alexander the great and hannibal the conquerer”
Genghis – conquered much of the known world, resulting in the deaths of millions, for an empire that lasted a few generations.
Julius Caesar – set the stage for Augustus to finally do away with the corrupt Republic, but really the Republic was dead anyway, and if Caesar hadn’t won, the same thing would have happened only with a monarch from the Pompey family.
Alexander the Great – conquered the known world, died young, natural heirs killed off by his generals and his empire divided.
Hannibal – won some ultimately meaningless victories against the Roman Republic.
Just a random group of people who weren’t really important in the long run.
Instead, lets look at the Lord Jesus Christ founding the Church which takes over the Roman empire with Constantine, which lasts another thousand plus years, converts the Russians and builds a new and bigger empire lasting until 1917, with 74 year interregnum under Communism, and now is essentially restored under Putin.
Now, that’s power, that’s a model of proven quality for a civilization. The continuity suggests Divine intelligence and guidance.
Your faggot jew never existed which is why there is no non-biblical account of jew boy. Not to mention the fack that the Catholic church is the largest faggot kid raping organisation on the planet.
No true on both points, faggot. . and I am not even a Christian. There is good evidence that Jesus existed, less that he conformed to the Biblical account and even less that he rose from the dead and basically nil that he was the son of God. In the end, that doesn’t matter.
.
And I don’t think you can put the Catholic Church on the same level as the (largely agnostic or atheist) NAMBLA where 100% are kiddie diddlers who want that to be legal.
Read
On the Historicity of Jesus: Why We Might Have Reason for Doubt by Richard Carrier.
He also has many videos on YT.
If one is going to pick 4 individuals to model life after, no more than 1 of them should be a military leader.
I learned a lot about Genghis Khan from this article. He is a fascinating historical figure.
That’s a possibility. But most likely though, these “modern biographers” are just Left-wing multiculturalists trying to downplay atrocities committed by non-white/non-Western cultures and subsequently exaggerate white/Western atrocities. We see this type of whitewashing with Muhammad and his conquests. With academia dominated by SJWs, it’s difficult to trust any modern historian.
Oh of course, Islam bad bad bad. All lies, complete lies.
Can you leave this cry baby bullshit with the rest of your virgin freak squad on the Chans where it belongs and leave thinking to adults?oh no you got to whine about some non existent conspiracy to turn Ghenghis Khan into Jesus Christ obviously! Your a idiot and your little Cult-ture will die very soon.yes multiculturalism is here to stay it is the global culture even if you don’t like it and your little whine bunch of white trash will ultimately just die out no matter how many churchs you burn
“
Your a idiot” *You’re an idiot.so while this site gives advice on how men should be men
most of society including males
want to domesticate and feminise them
http://www.glamour.com/inspired/2015/05/toms-shoes-founder-blake-mycoskie-on-the-benefits-of-paternity-leave
apparently one of his friends left a company because they did not allow him to play homemaker for more than a week…
It is safe to say we have lost…
There is a balance. I don’t want to work 60 hours a week to feed my family while my wife does everything at home. I like to cook. I enjoy my time off. When I have kids, I want to spend time with them, not staring at some computer screen or negotiation with some dickhead over points.
big difference between spending time with kids
and
kow towing to the feminist demands for paternity to leave to eliminate any difference between men and women
men in traditional societies spent time with kids, especially sons training them etc
at the same time they worked
not pretending to be women and take over female obligations and duties as feminists and these men promote…
I agree, but in these days you need time on the ground to lay claim to shared custody in the event of divorce.
Genghis was actually a highly advanced sperm delivery system. The most effective of the day. It can be no accident that one man can impregnate so many women and over such a large swath. During his post battle encampment when the village women in heat crowded his tent, it was jamboree time for the travelling alpha celebrity. On average a healthy man can blow maybe seven loads per day. The girls in the tent weren’t suffering stockholm in any way, they were clammering for a smidge of jenga and probably ‘shared spit’ and fingered a little dab in themselves if they weren’t early enough in the tent to get reamed directly. In ag steads women supporting their beta farmer spouses is critical for defense as is the warcraft of the inhabitants. When the women melt and turn to putty when in the presence of an alpha invader, the hold on the land seems to fall by itself.
The red pill take-away from Khan’s life is that bad boys are kings in the grand scheme of life and that nice guys finish last. Kahn’s what you would call a super daddy: Scientists believe that there are 16 million men living today that are his direct descendents that’s half a percent of earth’s male population.
He accomplished this feat by embracing all the male traits that blue pill western society has tried to supress in it’s men; sociopathy, violence, agression, competitiveness. Everytime Kahn rode into town, he would kill all the men, take the 9’s and 10’s for himself, and leave the rest for his lackeys.
And the media wonders why so many young men engage in mass shootings these days.
And yet, he afforded Jochi Khan the status of son, even though there was a very significant chance that Jochi wasn’t his son after all. Yet, Genghis Khan would even have made Jochi his primary heir, had the other Mongols accepted him.
Any man who is so accepting of his own cuckoldry would be a miserable beta male by manosphere standards. But guess what? Reality doesn’t feel the need to conform to our little classifications of men. Neither does the Great Khan.
Genghis accepted his stepson Jocki Khan because his wife was kidnapped when he was a newlywed. He eventually tracked down the kidnappers and murdered the man who now was wed to Genghis’s wife. He raised the child as his own. He had incredible character. A lot of us would struggle with such a thing. He just moved on had more babies with his wife built an empire and apparently impregnated as many female subjects of his kingdom as physically possible.
You forgot Jochi Khan, the oldest son of Genghis Khan, who might not have been his son at all, a possibility that was widely recognized. Yet, Genghis didn’t hold that against him, and would even have made Jochi his successor, but the other mongols wouldn’t have it that way.
Such acceptance of cuckoldry is something that would make any man a pathetic beta according to many a manospherian. But guess what? The Great Khan gives no fucks about your standards of alphadom.
That sounds like the start of a great meme.
Genghis bux ancient Egyptians fux!!! Mongoloids little bonerr
why did you upvote your own comment. Kind of pathetic.
You are not wise
okay whatever troll.
Fuck you guy with donkey name fucking cracker eat your shit
http://sd.keepcalm-o-matic.co.uk/i/keep-calm-i-am-a-pan-africanist.png
I don’t think it’s “wise” for you to call me cracker. We have so many white members here and good majority of us are white indeed since manosphere website caters to western males (in addition to men from other countries).
You want to be taken serious then put some serious post. Calling me cracker isn’t going to help you at all. My comment must have gotten into your skin if you are so upset and angered.
So much for a “wise” son. LMAO
Thus you know why manosphere suck too people resemble you
if manosphere sucks then why are you on this website?
you remind me of those whiny cry babies who complain about everything but don’t do a damn thing.
no one here gives a shit about your Pan-Africanis or whatever. If you are so proud of being African, go back to Africa and strip naked and go hunt zebras and steal lion food.
I’m surprised you made it this far and learned how to type. Who taught you how to speak English?
Blacks developed all science from the beginning
LMAO is this a biggest joke?

that is a biggest afro-centric bullshit website I ever seen. So Germany is black roman empire? and China is a black nation?
LMAO are you on jenkem or smoking crack?
Someone should hack into that website and bring it down. I can’t believe there are idiots who fall for that shit.
If black men are so great at making civilization then how are you going to explain Ferguson and Baltimore riot?
See it for yourself. If you Blacks are so great innovators then how come black tribes in Africa still and rape babies to “cure” AIDS.
I mean don’t give me bullshit afrocentric crap. Give me real source proving some Black inventions.
Why?
because there are NONE!
Now we are busy fucking white girls
typical nigger response
It is my version of affirmative action
For some awesome historical fiction. Check out the Khan series by Conn Iggulden. Finished it last year. Guy was probably not the alpha but the apex predator of his time. Maybe even all history.
Mongols might have fucked (raped) a lot of females during that time and they could have conquered a lot of lands but at the same time, they were too tolerant. Their culture although had warrior culture, the Mongols quickly assimilated to the culture they conquered. Usually it should be the other way around, when empires conquer other land, that conquered natives should follow the conqueror’s culture. But here in this case for example, when Mongols conquered the Middle East, the Mongols destroyed Baghdad and killed many people but they also quickly converted to Islam. Even in China, they quickly became sinicized. When the Jurchens (non-Han) conquered China earlier, they also became sinicized. Much later, the Manchus (descendant of Jurchens) also sinicized when they destroyed Ming China.
Mongols hired a lot of foreigners like Persians to hold high level position in China and because of Mongols, a lot of cultures were exchanged in Eurasia. They could not administer the land they conquered which was why they hired Arabs, Persians, Chinese, etc…
Now look at today, China can pretty much finish off Mongolia right now. All that is left of Mongolia is few population and some neo-Nazi wannabe Mongolians who randomly attack Chinese and Korean tourists and investors. China has more rich history while Mongolia can only count on Genghis Khan as their history.
But unlike the Chinese, the Mongolians actually respect the nature and don’t pollute. Pissing on the river was considered a crime during Genghis Khan period.
A lot of Chinese tourists behave badly when they tour another country.

The thing that trips me out is Alexander the great believed the gods ordained him to scourge the earth. And ghengis believed it to nowadays we reduce that to a tactic to inspire fear in enemy’s. In our atheistic society that’s what we would like to think, the idea that God would raise a tyrant to raze our cities and rape women isn’t popular. But they always rolled over countrys resting on their laurels, marked with widespread debauchery.

“Despite all these hardships, he established himself as a formidable warrior and charismatic leader by his early 20s.”
Or rather: BECAUSE of all these hardships.
I’ve read the book in the first photo. Worth reading every page.
Genghis Khan is the perfect symbol for manhood. Robert E. Howard obviously based his Conan the barbarian character on him. Conan says (through Arnold Schwarzenegger’s voice) the best things in life are “to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women”, which sounds an awful lot like the second quote from Genghis Khan about “the greatest happiness” posted above in section 8: the use of fear. Great article Oscar Zach. Well done.

amazing podcast on genghis khan over at dan carlin’s ‘hardcore history’ entitled ‘the wrath of the khans.’ in case you don’t want to invest the 12 or so hours in that program, i can summarize the main lesson of genghis khan’s life: destroy your enemies completely (ie. kill them all… e-v-e-r-y o-n-e).
“Crush your enemies see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of their women” Conan the Barbarian
Lesson:
Fuck as many hot women as you possibly can.
Do not use condoms and have 10 000 offspring.
I have a new goal.
Also the mantra of every successful modern liberal, especially those in the tech sector (eg:Jeff Bezos).
To think that “Ghen-gis” Kahn, as the US SecState calls him, could’ve been swayed from his decades of conquest if only Twinkies had existed in the 13th century 😉
To scatter your enemies… Conan the Barbarian obviously took lessons from Temujin
I have a suspicion that an outsized percentage of ROK readers and commenters were all Conan the Barbarian fans as children…
Does make sense in war you don’t care what your enemy thinks you just take what you want and waste all those not smart or stronger than you, you don’t have to live with your enemies and care about their concerns.
Actually it seems smarter to not crush them completely. If you want to multiply your forces quickly the easiest way is to make a defeated leader your deputy or so.
John Glubb’s the Fate of Empires illustrates the many times history repeated itself in similar ways to the Mongols. Conquerors are often not as advanced as their foe, but move like fire.
Reminds me of “To crush your enemies — See them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!” – Conan the barbarian on Best Things In Life
Turkish military just proved their worthlessness as a military force. #1 rule of coup- Merc the head of state. Losers. Give F16 pilot who bombed Parliament a case of beer though, that was ballsy.
Coupers were insane – why would you try it when not even all the military was onboard.
And then you have Erdogan’s radical Islamists who took to the streets – soldiers don’t want to fire on their own citizens.
Respect for the Bosphorus bridge crew and everyone attacking the Parliament – the only smart ones were the 8 who escaped in a helicopter to Greece. Everyone else will be executed or in jail for a very long time.
Kidnapping the head of state should have been 1st priority.
No commentary on Turkey? How come?
Bullshit article. Genghis Khan was a primitive barbarian. They had no culture or civilization. Just a bunch of primitive nomads who only lived for warfare and got their wealth by stealing and looting. Everything they had was copied from others, like Islam, Persian culture and Chinese technology. Just look at Mongolia today. A shithole country which has zero contribution to the world. The whole of central asia is a shithole with nothing to offer.
This holds for all the people in history who got rich by stealing instead of creating their own things. Just look at the Arabs. What do they contribute? The Turkic countries. What do they contribute? They were all powerful in the past, but are now nothing, because they can’t create their own things.
my thoughts exactly. these people basically made robbery/muggery into a large scale enterprise.
That doesn’t change the fact that Genghis Khan conquered half of Asia
He conquered like an idiot savant but could build nothing. He destroyed Baghdad and couldn’t govern. He never touched Japan. He tried Korean boats twice with Japan and was swamped by two convenient typhoons. He chicken shitted out to mother earth. He was no real explorer. That would require the forebrain to build a boat himself. Chinese niggers the Mongols were, chimping or ‘chinking’ out on every tribe to the south and west. He tested the bounds of the yellow man’s might, conquering mongrels far and wide but stopped short of slamming into the Germanic barbarians to the west or the Black African to the south. He mongolized all but the pure tribes that were his equals or superiors. The Vikings never got a chance to dull their swords on the horde. He went only where there was comfort and topless women. If there were mass communication back then, Baghdad would have mobilized and picked them off like a zombie invasion as they came over the crest. Any open door friendly culture knows no better than to welcome spies. No spies returning indacates a hot zone.
Today our open door policy with the same horde is upon us. Their spies and feelers came decades ago and we should have twisted their arms and headed them off, followed the money to the top and beheaded the traitors. The elites won’t be able to contain or handle the hordes. Again they ravage, contribute little culture related to outward exploration, but merely pillaging nesting bedrock communities, peaceful communities where berries dangle ripe and mamas are busy tit feeding. AND THEN these gookazoid mongols assimilate their DNA after butchering the males, polluting the land with their mongol chest beating c3-M217 haplogroup. Yes it was uncontested sperm wars as it always is. So it is now as it was back in the 1200’s. BACK TO THE PUSSY Genghis, you and your sorry mutant M-217 deadbeat chink chimping out bitch flair-up culture. You venture nowhere uncharted, you carry mankind nowhere. You left rubble of other tribes and gookified their DNA, arrested their architecture and exploration and you forever mongified their faces. How dare you. AND NOW your muzzie offshoots come chimping at the doorstep of Europe. WE WILL POUND YOU this time you sonofabitch. Zombies bring it on. Come waving your c-M217 haplogroup dripping from your slack zombie horde schlongs and we will STOMP YOUR BALLS FOR GOOD this time. The spirit of western man has been stirred. The GREAT DICK RISES in the west. 2028. Hail the patriarchy.
The fact that he hade thousands of children by thousands of women is also a pretty awesome lesson.
Even the Middle East revered the Great Khan. Worth a view:
