Vlad knew how to deal with Muslims
Why worse, because he knew how to deal w/Islamic expansion?
Good fences make good neighbors.
Bad neighbors make good fences.
The original infidel. Knew how to post things....
We should be impaling illegals at the border and mail in voters at the drop boxes.
Here’s a Vlad Dracula story.
A merchant once travelled through Prince Dracula‘s land. At the inn the merchant asked where he could keep his chest of silver safe for the night.
Keep it outside in your cart, the merchant was told. No one dares to steal in Prince Dracula’s land!
Well, the chest was stolen. The thief was apprehended and the chest was recovered. The next day the merchant was invited to watch the thief’s execution by impalement.
Prince Dracula: Please count your silver. I will make up any coins that are missing.
Merchant: All the coins are there. Plus there is one more! But I must ask you something. There are two stakes in the town square. Will there be two executions today?
Prince Dracula: Had you not reported the extra coin, the second stake was for you.
I don’t think he was a bad guy. He was dealt a bad hand dealing with Muslims and treated them the only way you can deal with Muslims.
They are either at your neck or under your boot.
It’s too bad we never got a real good historical movie about the (non-vampire) Vlad Tepes. He had a pretty interesting life.
Naaaa.
Some Brit was running around saying it was his pornstar name.
So what’s the problem? 20,000 muzzies on poles must’ve really stunk though.
This is a great movie idea. I want to see that gory forest on the big screen.
Sitting in a college history class long ago, I remember the prof brought in a Romanian pro who spoke on Vlad for an hour.
I remember the catch in my chest, and the feeling of happening to be in the front row.
People tore out of class that day.
He was raised by Muslims since the time of childhood. Everything he did, he likely learned from them. He was trying to preserve his kingdom from them.
Putin, Vlad the Inhaler !
That Video cheered Me Up!
havent read the thread yet- but he used to impale people alive on long poles and set them up in forests so that invading armies would have to ride through and see and hear the dying people, smell the decay, etc- to instill fear in the enemy-
He was a really brutal dude
Leaving Cedar Grove cemetery late one November eve I happened to notice off in the gloom an old fashioned rounded top stone glowing faintly white with the legend DRACUL. I thought “man you gotta be kidding”! Then I got the hell out of there…
This is not really convincing me he was a bad guy. I think we heed a hell of a lot of Vlads right now.
There’s a long history of those who believed that when you have them by the balls their hearts and minds will follow.....
