Watching how the last decades how EU and especially the "Greek" goverment going to "peace talks" (see asslicking) with Turks, oftenly came to my mind how strong rulers of the past reacted to rapant turkish hunger for more european territory. Vlad Tepes knew very well how to treat this old enemy of Europe and the whole Europe must thank him for his ways.
There very little change of Turks since the times of Vlad Tepes but unfortunately Europe changed a lot...
"... Turkish messengers came to [Vlad] to pay respects, but refused to take off their turbans, according to their ancient custom, whereupon he strengthened their custom by nailing their turbans to their heads with three spikes, so that they could not take them off."
Antonio Bonfini - Historia Pannonica
"I have killed peasants men and women, old and young, who lived at Oblucitza and Novoselo, where the Danube flows into the sea, up to Rahova, which is located near Chilia, from the lower Danube up to such places as Samovit and Ghighen. We killed 23,884 Turks without counting those whom we burned in homes or the Turks whose heads were cut by our soldiers...Thus, your highness, you must know that I have broken the peace with him(Sultan Mehmet II)"
Vlad Tepes letter to Corvinus - 11 February 462
Vlad Tepes was a great man of honour. Nowadays it seems like only Greece and France are the most sceptical to negotiate with Turkey. On the other hand all countries are in NATO...
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, these days none is truly determinated to stand against the Turks. And this goes for Greece and France too.
