Now that turkey is officially confirmed to be working with ISIS, and has lost all credibility in the west, Constantinople should be the target of /pol/'s crusade.
>Remnant of Rome and Greece
>Target of 4th crusade, historical precedent
>Strategic military and trade position
>Great weather
If there's ever been a time for men to be men and establish a non-degenerate bastion of western culture and values, it is now at Constantinople.
Here's how you can join the crusade:
>Arm yourself
>Practice at the range
>Get in touch with other pollacks in real life
WE BYZANTINES NOW!

Nothing is forever. A bitter fact that man must face, gnawing at his conscience in moments of quiet thought. It is the reason that he procreates, to further a line of his blood. It is the reason that he went about building the first cities and learning the first writings, to create something that stood well beyond his years. Perhaps more than women, land, wealth or power, perhaps not, it is the reason for those who rise among us and lead us to glory and greatness do so. What we have is never enough to what we can have, what we can attain.
Forever. Found deep in the consciousness of the ancient Hellas, whom took to the book of Homer as Muslim to Holy Quran, or Christian to Bible. Not a prophet of God or Gods, the man Homer. He was a prophet still, a speaker wise in how might men attain immortality, to be spoken of in years to come and for whose behavior and exploits might be imitated in centuries yet to arrive.

A man who seemed to still stand despite his death, though those he stood within were not of his blood, not of his faith, not even of his origins.
Such a man was the Roman Empire of the East. Not ruling from Rome, not centered upon Latin blood, not speaking Latin nor even praying to Rome's Gods. Yet they were Rome. A different land, a different people, a different world. And yet Rome lingered, as changed as a hairless crying kitten might change into a muscular, roaring lion. And one would fear, change into a toothless frail old beast. To those of the Middle East or of Europe in the Dark ages and early Middle Ages, the Roman Empire of the East must have seemed something that was to be forever, a capital held by walls not even God's Angels could breach. And yet it was not immortal, not dipped in the river styx but up to its heel. Countless barbarians raging across its land, coming to batter shield and axe upon the gates of Constantinople. Eastern Sassanians, Arabs, and Turks existing as the greatest foes of the state, so too coming to clash spear and arrow upon the walls of their Capital.
While time had come to dilute the presence of ancient Rome and Greece, that indomitable spirit of the Eastern Roman's ancestors stood strong, and in every case, though land would be lost [Perhaps forever, but what is forever?], it was never the defeat of the Empire. Tactics were adjusted, failing Emperors removed, alliances made, and eternally the successor to the eternal city went on.
Yet nothing is forever.

Kek, what else is new
In greek mythology, there is a man, called the Marble Emperor. and he was Created when Emperor Constantine the XI led the defense of Constantinople, and died fighting for it. And they believe that the Marbled emperor will one day return, and reclaim the Byzantine Empire, and defeat the animals of the east once and for all.
