Those Jewish massacres were condemned by both the Catholic Church and the Kings at that time.

The so called Northern Crusades weren't even named Crusades at the time for obvious reasons. It was a retcon. I could also call them a backlash against prior Norse invasions on the Catholic Roman Empire.

The Cathar war was similar to the Reform Wars and it had nothing to do with external relations but it was about suppressing internal dissent.

So you think Jews, Heretics, Pagans, etc don't wage war either? You sure are naive.

You can get enlightened here. I quote:

The First Crusade (1096–1099) ... ended as a military expedition by Roman Catholic Europe to regain the Holy Lands taken in the Muslim conquests of the Levant (632–661), ultimately resulting in the recapture of Jerusalem in 1099. It was launched on 27 November 1095 by Pope Urban II with the primary goal of responding to an appeal from Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, who requested that western volunteers come to his aid and help to repel the invading Seljuq Turks from Anatolia.

Android in the USA has about 25% share among the top 50% incomewise. In Europe the numbers are often as high as 80%. Both countries are similar for the bottom 50% economically. So I don't think it is accurate to say the people of Europe object.

It is always cute listening to Apple propaganda. When they lose they simply change metric to something they can win at. Pathetic.

If you use stats like Elon Musks does you'll compare with the track record of Ariane 5 ECA alone. That only had one launch failure in like 47 flights. Plus it was a launch failure on the first flight which was fixed since that happened.

F9 had partial failures you gloss over. Yet you seem to account for Ariane 5 partial failures just fine.

Ask an insurance company how much they want to insure an Ariane 5 vs Falcon 9 flight.
