  1. Sultan Mehmed IV to the Zaporozhian Cossacks: As the Sultan; son of Muhammad; brother of the sun and moon; grandson and viceroy of God; ruler of the kingdoms of Macedonia, Babylon, Jerusalem, Upper and Lower Egypt; emperor of emperors; sovereign of sovereigns; extraordinary knight, never defeated; steadfast guardian of the tomb of Jesus Christ; trustee chosen by God Himself; the hope and comfort of Muslims; confounder and great defender of Christians – I command you, the Zaporogian Cossacks, to submit to me voluntarily and without any resistance, and to desist from troubling me with your attacks.

    Zaporozhian Cossacks to the Turkish Sultan!

    O sultan, Turkish devil and damned devil’s kith and kin, secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight are thou, that canst not slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil shits, and your army eats. Thou shalt not, thou son of a whore, make subjects of Christian sons. We have no fear of your army; by land and by sea we will battle with thee. Fuck thy mother.

    Thou Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig’s snout, mare’s arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow. Screw thine own mother!

    So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. You won’t even be herding pigs for the Christians. Now we’ll conclude, for we don’t know the date and don’t own a calendar; the moon’s in the sky, the year with the Lord. The day’s the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!

    r/animemes,outcast by hteir country of origin and the one they dream of living in,secretary to Hirohito himself. What the devil kind of human are thou,that claims thine pillow is your girlfriend? Japan shits,and you say it is a masterpiece. Thou shalt not,thou sons of ashamed parents,make mockery of our great Russian Winter; we have no fear of your women with larger than average breast sizes. We aren’t afraid to use literal fucking elephants to cross the alps or go around the mighty Maginot line to fight with thee,fuck thy waifu.
    Thou Weeaboian scullion,depressingly lonely shitposter,pervert of local anime-cons,pillow-fucker of thine mother’s basement,laughingstock of the west and the east,embarrassment of nerdom,eternal sigh of the subreddits,traitor to thine homeland,laughingly horrible cosplayer,and fool of all corners of the internet,an idiot before r/all,precursor to human extinction,and the crick in our dick. Cowardly as the French,fickle as the Italians,screw thine own waifu!
    So r/historymemes declare,you disappointment. This conflict will go long past Chirstmas! Now we will conclude,for we don’t know how to win a memewar and don’t care to learn; the winged hussars have arrived,Hannibal’s a mad lad,and Italy changed sides in both world wars ha ha lol such losers; for this kiss our arse!
