War and Conquest Podcast

I wonder how many Americans would call for an end to a war in which an enemy army captured the entire East Coast by force. Would there be calls to “stop the killing” then or would we not want to expend every possible resource to recover them?

@UpdatingOnRome is basically the only reason I come on here anymore

What if Old English and today’s English are basically the same language but our ancestors were so hammered they slurred all the words while writing it?

@UpdatingOnRome The Saxons did all the work in making England a dominant power in the Early Middle Ages only for the Angles to get all the credit for the name of the country and French Vikings to take it all away from them

@UpdatingOnRome HE WAS A CONSUL OF AMERICA!

I Voted Mr. President 🫡

@joerogan stops at nothing to get his interview

Running a crew of construction laborers has me out here praying like an alcoholic. “Lord, give me the strength”

I wonder if war captives in history made the same kind of excuses that baseball players do when they have a bad at bat. “If I wasn’t knocked unconscious after being thrown from my horse I would’ve never been taken alive” is the old version of “I caught the handle on that ball”

@UpdatingOnRome Et tu, Florida Man?

This is violence! Again.

@UpdatingOnRome Caesar, Agrippa, Sertorius, Skanderbeg, Norman Schwarzkopf and La’ Vallette

Tell me your favorite general.

You know you’ve been studying too many medieval sources when you see a story where the chronicler could’ve made a Bible story parallel and didn’t and you judge him for it.

I want to time travel to Victorian England in shorts and a tanktop that have “It’s called being comfortable, Losers” as the logo

Can you imagine how hard the partying was in the Pentagon and Langley when the Soviet Union collapsed? That’s an office party where half the participants ended up cheating on their spouse by the end of the night because they got so worked up

@UpdatingOnRome “He killed 16 Carthaginians singlehanded. The guy was an interior decorator”

Do you ever think about being attacked by a giant spiders while you’re in the shower and being unable to defend yourself because you did not have a shower gun, or is that just me?

Dear Google, I have never and will never donate money to any politician’s election campaign. Please stop showing me ads of Kamala Harris begging for money for her campaign every single video I watch on YouTube

I think the tower that has the air traffic controllers in it at the airport, should have a cartoonishly large red button that they get to hit if a plane gets hijacked. It would help bring a little levity into what is going to be a really stressful day for them

@FlashpointHx Most of the show’s best quotes are from Pullo but I love Vorenus as well

@warandconquest1 I’m a hero of the whole mum’n legion, I am! As a side note - I’ve adopted the line ‘good bread this’

Fab

@UpdatingOnRome When he crosses the Thames with an army and beats his nation’s military in a dozen pitched battles, only then will he be worthy of being called Caesar

I had no idea she loved Nigel so much.
