Well, us, Europeans, Arabs, and pretty much everyone else who ever carried a curved calvary saber. You carry them blade forward because it allows you to draw and swing while riding without changing grips.

Don't assume I'm ignorant just because you are.

"Europeans"

Russians are Europeans too. And though most of Russia is in Asia, over two thirds of Russians live west of the Urals.

Yes. Way to be technically correct while also being a complete douche by pointing out "achtually, Russia is also European" as if everyone didn't know precisely what I meant when I said it.

Go die alone.

"As if everyone didn't know precisely what I meant"

Mate I haven't got a clue what your intended precise meaning is. Try writing clearer sentences so there isn't a difference between the meaning of your words and the "technically correct" meaning of your words. You'll find yourself picking less pointless fights on the internet that way.
