Underfunded, always outnumbered and with a largely unorganized band of mercenaries (Belisarius had few Cataphracts), and on top of it all charged with defending an empire attacked in four directions, Belisarius was charged not only with fighting a four front war, but Justinian told him, he had to recapture the lands of the western Roman Empire. You ever heard the military axiom "never fight a two front war?" Belisarius fought a 4 front one, in his time, the Byzantine empire was nearing death. To the north, were the Slavs and the Ostrogoths, the hostile, more warlike Slavs, to the south the Egyptians were rebelling and mounting assaults of their own against Anatolia, to the east were the Persians, and to the west, were the Visigoths and various Germanic tribes including the Vandals. Belisarius defeated all of them; a feat of tactical genius, that has yet to be matched.

Belisarius is important, although he is given little credit in western history texts, because the Byzantine empire formed a barrier between the empires of the middle east, and Europe. In fact it was not the first time in history, Greece acted as Europe's shield; any army wanting Europe, had to go through Greece first, this was also true in Belisarius' time. As a general rule with western racism, the Greeks are white when it comes to talking about ancient times, but all of a sudden they are not white, when it comes to talking about western achievements. Greek whiteness, is dependent on the arrogant convenience of a given western historian. Genetically though it has been found, the ancient Greeks are in fact cousins to the semites, although, pure Greeks are rare these days. Most full blooded Greeks live only on the islands, mainlander Greeks tend to be Slavic, or of Greek descent but with Slavic admixture. Belisarius himself, was an olive skinned Greek, a member of what the Nazis considered "inferior peoples." The reason Belisarius rarely gets a mention is because many of the warriors him, his Cataphracts, and army of largely volunteers massacred, were all blonde. Hitler's mighty "Aryan" soldiers. The history, is in fact true; Belisarius, who had dark hair, dark eyes, and Olive skin, massacred, one Germanic tribe after the next, a fact conveniently left out by Nazi "history" texts. It is also conveniently left out of American and British history texts. Belisarius was Greek; that is a historical fact.

The truth is the Balkan peninsula has acted as a barrier for Europe, since ancient times. They have either halted the advance of eastern armies outright, or, at least slowed them down and weaken them enough for Europeans deeper in Europe to deal with them. For all intents and purpose though, although genetically they are not white, ancient Greeks I mean, culturally they were European. Genetics and culture are not always the same thing; look at Latin America, the mestizo countries, genetically, especially central America, the people are predominantly native American, however culturally, there are stronger mediterranean influences. Some aspects of the asiatic native American culture remain; such as the stronger emphasis on family for example, rather than individualism, however unlike east Asian society, most mestizo latin Americans have low self-worth the society is racked with racism. For example, when a Latino gets angry at another for "claiming to be something he's not," its not about pride, so much as anger that someone is challenging the status quo. The status quo being "we are higher than the native Americans, but lower than white people; stop putting on airs" shooting you down and getting angry, is to make you feel inferior, to limit you, diminish you, and if necessary break you, just for "daring" to have self worth. Some latinos are so racist, they seem blind to the fact that the people they worship so much (whites) have a history of being sadistic killers. In this day and age though you have DNA tests; that promptly shuts them up. To be fair though, there are people with obvious native American ancestry, poor wretches who say "oh, my grandmother was German."

Belisarius is important, because not only did he help preserve Europe which had some value as a culture, but, his existence, shatters the myth of Aryan supremacy. Belisarius was as far from an "Aryan" as any man could be. Back to the whole latin America thing; I was just pointing out, that where there is true self-worth, people should not get offended, if someone claims to be something else. My ultimate message to latin America is, you don't want people wanting to be something else stop being so abusive towards the natives. In my experiences there growing up, the nastiest latinos always had lighter skin; they were the ones I got into most of my fights with. Latin American mothers spoil kids with European features, and in a disgusting, sickening manner; they get full of themselves, and make life difficult for everybody.

Far as semitic people, they just don't enter into the equation; to a prejudiced Latino, there are either blonde people, or native Americans, but you have say, a successful Arab businessman, who may in fact have greater math competence than a white American, the success of such a man just won't register in the brain of a racist Latino. More than just U.S. government sabotage, latin America is messed up for various reasons, European psychological depredations not the least of them.
