Ok... I have not posted on my (now locked) China post for a day or 2 and I hope the
Moderator (HTC) will not consider this political
As I think I said earlier in that post or intended to, enemies of the US (including collectively) our government (both repubs AND dems have succeeded in
splitting the country into just about 1/2 (take a look at any poll)
As I said to Demon, I am at the age where I feel sorry for my daughters, sons in laws, granddaughters, etc.
But, being a history buff, I do not recall one country or culture that has rebounded from being
destroyed EXCEPT for the Assyrians (only twice)
I do not agree with most your assessments of our situation and so be it
This is my last post on this subject

I cannot argue with a single point. It's so sad to me that a country founded on such ideals as expressed in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, could come to the point of so much mistrust and hatred. Guess I was born too late.

As a history buff you would know that the USA was in fact split in half by a civil war and it managed to recover.
You are seeking to blame another country for your problems instead of owning those problems and finding effective solutions

Read my post carefully... I said "destroyed"... rebellion is a far cry from "destroyed"

Stop posting political things, how is it that hard to understand?

Apparently, quite hard.

Glad the no politics rule was not enforced during the 2000 election as we had some doozies going then 😊

This needs more context. What qualifies as "rebounded" and what qualifies as "destroyed?"

"Rebounded" as in came back, "destroyed" as in thoroughly conquered

The topic itself is political in nature, and it will get locked just like the last 6.

I would add Babylonia to your Assyria. The Period of Chaos and following Assyrian rule should certainly qualify as "thoroughly conquered." The Assyrians ruled for some three centuries and it was not until the Chaldeans did a true Babylonian take the throne of the kingdom. The culture was never destroyed, of course, which is what i thought you meant. Instead, the kingdom was conquered and its people conformed, until the eventual phoenix like return of Babylonia.
I asked for qualification because of situations in history such as the Kievan Rus'. This confederacy was weak even before the Mongols, but were done in and "thoroughly conquered" by the Mongols. The culture continued to persist into the high Medieval period in the Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland. However, the Kievan Rus' never founded another nation (used loosely here) of their own, thus they may fit your definition.
An interesting discussion and one that is a) legal and b) not as subjective.
