I’d prefer the Iranian people not to die for the pedo prince. They should just stick to a meme war.

Funny, the only dogs I had to protect my bigger dogs from were small ones. Over here they’re almost all not socialized, not trained, not able to behave like a normal dog. There are of course exceptions.
Oh and that one crazy husky.

I’ve been bitten thrice in my life. Once by a bigger dog, stressed out of his mind, which I kind of understand, and twice by small dogs who were just assholes.

They’ll be so woke!
Jokes aside, Obama was still the better man, even if he was an asshole next to being a Democrat. Trump is an asshole and nothing else.

That wasn’t research. I was interested and opened Wikipedia. The family of a friend comes from somewhere in that region and he showed me pictures. Those were pretty breathtaking.

Unclear. Burgen, Berge, Bürgen, Stühle (?), lots of possibilities.
(Wikipedia)
Die Herkunft des deutschen Namens Siebenbürgen ist nicht abschließend geklärt. Vermutungen gehen dahin, ihn auf sieben von Siebenbürger Sachsen gegründete Städte zurückzuführen: Hermannstadt, Kronstadt, Bistritz, Schäßburg, Mühlbach, Broos und Klausenburg (in dieser Reihe wird fälschlicherweise oft Mediaș genannt, das aber erst 1534 vom Markt zur Stadt erhoben wurde). Auch die Sieben Stühle, Einheiten der eigenen Gerichtsbarkeit – jeder Stuhl besaß einen Königsrichter, der alleine dem ungarischen König unterstellt war –, sind möglicherweise Teil der Namensgebung. Daneben stehen ältere Herleitungen vom Fluss Zibin (rumänisch Cibin, ungarisch Szeben), nach dem wiederum Hermannstadt (rumänisch Sibiu, lateinisch Cibinium) benannt worden sei, das als traditionelle Hauptstadt seinen Namen dann der Region als ganzes gegeben habe.[6] Walter Schuller dachte mit Verweis auf eine Reihe von Parallelen im deutschen Sprachraum an eine wörtliche Deutung als (bei den) sieben Bürgen, als die „toponymische (Über-) Betonung eines für ihr [d. h. das siebenbürgisch-sächsische] Exemtionsgebiet essentiellen Rechtsverhältnisses“. Die Umdeutung auf sieben Burgen oder auch sieben Berge sei dann schon früh wegen der Lautähnlichkeit der Wörter erfolgt.[7]
Der Name ist zunächst in deutschen Quellen aus dem 13. Jahrhundert als Septum urbium, Terra septem castrorum und ähnlichen Varianten verzeichnet.[8] In deutscher Niederschrift hieß es Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts erstmals Siebenbuergen und bezeichnete damals nur den Bereich der Sieben Stühle als administrative Einheiten oder Gebietskörperschaften der Hermannstädter Provinz. Erst später hat sich der Begriff räumlich erweitert, umfasste schließlich denselben Raum wie Erdély und Ardeal und ersetzte dadurch die frühere Lehnübersetzung von Ultrasilvania Überwald (13. und 14. Jahrhundert).

Probably because it was between seven mountains? (Sieben Berge/bergen?)
Or it’s from guarantor (Bürge)? Ginge me a sec, I’m intrigued now.
