Перехлестывающие за край исламские эмоции не только подняли ответную волну протестов в поддержку Израиля, но и заставили многих на Западе впервые всерьез задуматься о собственной участи. Американская телеведущая Мегин Келли сказала: "Мы видели в разных городах, внутри страны и за рубежом волну антисемитизма, которая просто потрясает. Количество людей может показаться ошеломляющим… Вам не нравится Америка? Убирайтесь вон! Мы тоже не хотим, чтобы вы были здесь. Вы не хотите быть здесь, а мы не хотим здесь вас. Вот и прекрасно! Отправляйтесь домой!" В германской газете Bild был опубликован манифест, в котором среди прочего говорилось: "После террористической атаки ХАМАСа на Израиль в нашей стране возникло новое измерение ненависти - к нашим ценностям, к демократии, к Германии. В нашей стране есть много людей, которые борются против нашего образа жизни. Тех, кто радуется убийству ни в чем не повинных граждан. Кто учит своих детей ненавидеть других, потому что они "неверные". Они презирают законы и вместо них слушают радикальных проповедников. Они пользуются нашей терпимостью, потому что хотят другого общества. Мы не должны мириться с этим! Так дальше продолжаться не может!". Как могут развиваться дальнейшие события? "Европейские народы должны определиться, либо они окончательно исламизируются, либо вступают в новую религиозно-демографическую войну, правила которой еще предстоит определить. Сегодня ислам жеманно именуется во Франции "второй религией", в которую обращаются десятки тысяч природных французов. Но если в какой-то момент Франция не объявит исламу открытую войну, то эта религия неизбежно превратится из "второй" в "первую", со всеми вытекающими из этого последствиями. Что же касается "колониализма", то на него обычно вешается ярлык расизма. Но почему тиранить народ может диктатор только одной с ним крови? В "Декларации прав человека" ничего такого не говорится. Во многих африканских странах после десятилетий "свободы" от белого человека сегодня процветает работорговля и возродился каннибализм. Считать, что такая "независимость" лучше зависимости от белых - это чистой воды расизм. Аксиома, что правитель должен быть обязательно одной крови со своими подданными - чисто расистская аксиома. Если диктатура неизбежна, если народ не способен поддерживать у себя демократическое правление, то управлять им следует тому, кто способен это сделать с минимальными нарушениями прав человека, безотносительно к тому, какая кровь течет в его жилах… Сегодня европейцы откупаются от исламистов Израилем, но в ситуации открытого столкновения Запада с мировым исламом Израиль может превратиться в естественного союзника, а это значит, что возможно ему, наконец, будет позволено действовать по отношению к арабам на основании тех правовых патентов, которые разработают к тому моменту европейские правоведы. Куда заведет европейцев их правовая логика, когда перед ними со страшной неумолимостью предстанет вопрос: быть или не быть? Но в любом случае ясно, если европейцы свяжут вопрос гражданства с вопросом лояльности к своей культуре, то уже ничто не помешает израильтянам поступить так же. Лобовое столкновение Европы с исламизмом - это вопрос времени, после чего также и Израилю может быть предоставлено право воспользоваться "цивилизованными" средствами для решения своих проблем. Как вежливо сказал Йаков Эсаву: Пусть же пойдет господин мой впереди раба своего" (Берешит 33.14)." Не все предвиденное сбывается: выступать первому приходится все же Израилю. Но кое-что зашевелилось и в Европе. Первая ласточка прилетела в виде требования выражения поддержки Израиля у претендентов на гражданство Германии. В указе МВД земли Саксония-Анхальт говорится, что соискатели должны в письменном виде задекларировать свою приверженность Израилю и осудить любые усилия, направленные против существования еврейского государства. В 1980 году в своей книге "Память Катастрофы не срабатывает" ("Зихрон ашоа эйно метафкед") Мордехай Горовиц написал, что, как только арабам представится возможность воплотить в жизнь свои юдофобские фантазии, евреи с ностальгией вспомнят о гигиенических газовых камерах. Это ровно то, что произошло 7 октября 2023 года. И это привело нацию в чувство. Народ очнулся, и ЦАХАЛ уже не остановить. Впервые за тридцать лет "коллективный Израиль" вышел на публику без заискивающих ужимок и размазанных по физиономии соплей. И это, несомненно, главный источник для оптимизма. И победа эта способна не только воскресить Израиль и привести в чувство его ближневосточных соседей, но и споспешествовать возрождению западной цивилизации, удушаемой побратавшимся с джихадом прогрессивизмом.
The Tribune that ordered the detachment to turn and attack towards the left is a big deal because of how command and control really works. You have to understand there's no God's Eye View of watching the battle with the ability to instantly order any unit anywhere on the battlefield to do what you want. It's not like video games. The reality was orders were issued and that was essentially it. You may tell a unit when to attack, but controlling them was now left to the subordinates. The lower ranking officers have to recognize what's going on and act accordingly. It would have been really easy for the Romans on the right to keep pursuing the fleeing opponents there, but that one Tribune remembered what the big picture was and took decisive, proper action that won the battle. Whoever he was, I hope he was recognized and rewarded for that.

The role of the phalanx was to pin their opponent for the cavalry to deliver the decisive blow. It could only work as a part of a combined arms combination.
The phalanx in Philip's day was a visible ghost of itself...it was always meant to be incorporated in a combination-or-arms, especially heavy cavalry, which had all but disappeared....or it would have destroyed the Romans.

The early republican army, yes if on proper terrain, but not the reformed legions. Terrain was the primary reason Macedon never invaded Italy and also the reason why the native Italian, Latin and Etruscan tribes would abandon the phalanx formation as Italian terrain was far too hilly and uneven for the phalanx to maneuver into battle formation properly. There was never a chance for Macedon to conquer Italy.

The late period Hellenic armies like the one at the Battle of Cynoscephalae had long degraded from the Macedonian Armies of Phillip II & Alexander. This was mainly caused by the Diadochi Succession Wars that ensued after the death of Alexander. The constant in-fighting saw the Hellenic armies move away from combined arms & focus almost entirely on Sarrisa vs Sarrisa Phalanx battles since when facing similar styled armies the Diacdochi found those with the higher quality Pike Phalanx tended to come out on top. Slowly over time they moved away from things like Hyspasists (Elite Heavy but Flexible Infantry) & Lancer/Heavy Cavalry which guarded the flanks of the Phalanx & provided the Hammer to the Anvil. The Macedonian armies Rome face by the time of their expansion were shells of their former selves. Had the Diadochi Wars not taken place & the traditional styled armies of Phillip II & Alexander had been preserved, Rome would have been in for rough time.

The Romans did not yet have a Professional Army during this period, the Macedonians did. Romans would have had to return to tend their fields and farms, the Macedonians didn't.

Hey man, loved it! Like I said last time, you can see a clear progression and advance in quality with every video. Some constructive feedback and I'm being really nit-picky. Few shots with clipping or bugged soldiers, the more you can edit that stuff out, the better. Also for people who don't know the subject matter well enough/beginners, perhaps a few more captions would help? For example, only TW players know the tell-tell sign of retreating soldiers (heads hanging low (14:04), trudging off the battlefield etc.), so more captions or narration at that point would assist? Stuff like this would take from elite tier to God tier IMO Keep up the great work

An organized and well positioned phalanx could have never lost from the romans. The formation (phalanx) that conquered all of the east known world was not used well by the successors of Alexander who adopted many of the persian tactics and units. Alexander would have never left his phalanx exposed like this and the greatest example is the battle of Gaugamela where Parmenion had the order to turn his units and retreat while fighting if he was outflanked. The final blow was always coming from the cavalry while the phalanx was holding the enemy in position. In Cynoscephalae half of the phalanx is missing and the cavalry is not used as a hammer. In any case the legion proved its adaptability and mobility on the field.

The Roman method of war using massive scuta and pila was pretty perfect to counter the Macedonian principle of war. Both armies are elite and both conquered the world in their own times, only exemplifying their greatness, its impossible to determine a more successful method of war, but against each other, they prove differently.

@@lostvayne3977 well if the Roman method was that perfect to counter the Macedonian phalanx why when they did clash head to head, the Romans couldn't resist and gave ground...only when the phalanx was outflanked due to its half deployment they started exploiting the gap having success. Furthermore, the fact that formations with long pikes like the Macedonian phalanx were used later by different armies throughout history in combined arms mode (spanish terthios, swiss pikeman, etc) proves the efficiency and the durability of the concept that the Macedons had about the wall of pikes joined by cavalry and light infantry.

The Romans borrowed a page from the Greeks own fighting tactics by deploying war elephants to slow down and disrupt the Greek skirmisher formation, keeping them from rapidly moving forward into the ensuing battle and then counter attacking with cavalry. Their archers and missile throwers had some effect, but it was the cavalry that made the crucial difference. Greek infantry was more than a match for the Romans who needed a flanking maneuver to gain the upper hand.

So the Greeks were clearly wining the romans to the main line. The only reason that romans won was the Elephands! We were stronger soldiers and we were killing the romans to the battle line.

Pullo ... Formation!

Thanks for the great video. It would appear before the battle that the Macedonians had the advantage because they were well trained in their phalanx and they occupied the hill top. Sun Tzu taught there are some armies you should not fight- never attack up a hill. The Romans’ war elephants were not decisive. Both sides couldn’t fully use their cavalries because stirrups were not invented at that time. Why didn’t Philip V’s big number of warriors in reserve at the rear join in later to save the day? Why didn’t the Romans adopt the Macedonian/Greek phalanx after this decisive battle but only on flat plains? Was it because the phalanx was often not flexible enough? War elephants were the tanks in ancient warfare. And not the first time that war elephants were more of a hindrance to the army deploying them. Battle of Zama, Hannibal. The battle of Malacca, Malaya, sultan of Malacca (where the Portuguese defeated the Malays).

The manipular legion was much more versatile and flexible than the phalanx... that's history
I think if ...if the macedonian phallanx Where are equal at numbers they would have won they fought 33.000 to 26.000 (macedons Were outnumbered)

So the Greeks were clearly wining the romans to the main line. The only reason that romans won was the Elephands! We were stronger soldiers and we were killing the romans to the battle line. It was clear that romans will lose. the only reason that romans won is because they flang us. And they flang us because they had the Elephands!

phalanx WAS BETTER by far!!
Фаланга это построение Легион это общее название армии

The game engine is favouring the Macedonian phallanx. The legionaires are being slaughtered. Still looks good.

Thank you and good question! It is possible the cavalry did not perform best in the rough terrain they were fighting on.

I'm still a big believer in the fight can be used via the sheild and spear. Depends on how fast you can use your sheild and wall. Jaar.

@mentalasylumescapee6389 No this wasn't Alexander's father ,this was Philip V,this battle was post Philip I and Alexander the Great of Macedon, when the Roman Republic was the rising power,and Macedon/Greece was the reigning power Still..
Alexander would have used his horse archers
When the Roman's turned and attacked the Macedonia rear, Phillip should have sent his personal guard the attack the rear of those Romans instead of just standing there. Then the coward fled.
But in my opinion macedonians fought on far harsh lands as compared to romans whether its anatolia transoxania or india they are my favourites
Philip V was no Alexander.
