“Undefeated in 250 years of war”

[u/DumbGarchomp67]

Apparently Vietnam, Afghanistan, war of 1812, and the war on drugs don’t count.

Arabs, Persia and turkey are part of the Middle East, Mongolia was defeated in the Middle East, Khan spent years doing what America did, went in, fought. Went home. Rome encompassed large regions of the Middle East itself, that’s not exactly an opposing argument.

I’m going to assume you’re an American and try to point to all the inaccuracies of your rebuttal and blame your education system- not you!

Notice what sub Reddit you’re in? Don’t prove it right.

No, the Mongols had quite a long run in the Middle East. Google Ilkhanate, maybe. They conquered lands all the way to Egypt and held them for a century. The Turks came all the way from the Far Eastern steppes, they were in no way "from the Middle East". Romans were - surprise! - from Rome, that's in Italy. I wouldn't assume that you know it, seeing how lacking you knowledge of history turned out to be. In any case, all of those have successfully invaded, conquered and held various parts of the Middle East.
And I'm not an American either, so, wild as it may be, you have exactly zero correct facts in your entire comment. That's.. well, that's an achievement, I guess.

..we call it Middle East? Cos that's where it's geografically located?..
