@AncientHistorry And that is new how? You're cheap click baiting will not do

🧵In 2003, two tourists poking around a tiny Saudi Arabian island stumbled on a Latin inscription in the dirt. What it said rewrote the map of the Roman Empire. Rome's furthest outpost wasn't in Britain. It wasn't in Persia. It was here 👇

@DanInTheYishuv @TheMossadIL Are you off your meds, my dude? Greetings from tranquil, chill, self-sufficient, non-bellicose, laid-back tchörmany

Just read a very concerning article in the Post today. The article opens by describing a shift in Germany’s behavior. It is no longer calm, calculated, or traditionally diplomatic. Something more emotional and forceful has taken over. Germany is being carried by a wave of national pride, anger, and excitement. Decisions are not being made carefully. They are being driven by feeling and momentum. The mood is not limited to leadership. It has spread to the population. The country as a whole is caught up in it, making it harder to control or reverse. Recent moves are not isolated political decisions. They are expressions of this broader emotional surge. Germany is acting boldly because it feels emboldened. Other countries are still treating Germany as if it can be reasoned with through diplomacy, negotiations, and agreements. The article questions whether calm negotiation can succeed against a country acting out of passion and conviction rather than calculation. Germany is acting quickly and emotionally, while Europe is slow, cautious, and procedural. This imbalance is dangerous. If this “fury” continues unchecked, it could lead to further escalation. The implication is that Europe is underestimating the seriousness of the situation.

@UpdatingOnRome @AncientHistorry Rigorously prosecute christians.

You have become Roman Emperor in 180 AD. This is your empire. What do you do differently to avoid the upcoming crisis?

@Luv_Xcuses Being obnoxious and self-righteous

Be brutally honest, what's one thing Americans are simply better at than the rest of the world??

@clashreport Trump knows shit about Europe as it is. In the real world, I mean.

Trump: Chinese cars are destroying Europe because they are taking away business from Mercedes and BMW. We don’t have any Chinese cars in our country.

@Mylovanov @gloefflmann What's unclear about a collective, mutual defence coalition? Article five and all. Historically speaking usa has been the sole beneficiary of Nato up until now. Give this old fella his meds, pls. It's embarrassing to watch

Kellogg: NATO isn’t working — we need a new alliance. The US can leave under Article 13 with one year’s notice. Allies must pull their weight, especially when global security — from Hormuz to the Pacific — affects them too.

@NoContextBrits Brexit. Clearly against Britain's own best interest

Non-British people of this app, what baffles you most about Britain?

@yo_ean Explain "poor" in that context?. If you can. I'm waiting

So the average guy in Mississippi worked ~35% (405) more hours per year to arrive at a lower gdp/capita than Germany Meanwhile their life expectancy is 10 years(!) less. In effect they work 12 years more only to die 10 years quicker. I find it inappropriate to laugh at that...

@VoicesofWW2 None. Solid craftsmanship but pathetic American hero worship bullshit storytelling. 440.000 dead in both theaters means us lost less servicemen than romania. No civilian casualties but still they push the narrative of the extraordinary sacrifices .... pathetic

Which episode is your favorite?

@oelma__ My phone. Call the police

It’s 2:47 AM and someone just broke into your home. Which one will you choose?

@dioscuri Funny

Europeans like to scoff at American gluttony, but an underrated factor in the US obesity crisis is that American food is just unreasonably good. Not fine dining specifically, but the average sports bar or taqueria or diner food is just much tastier than typical Euro equivalents

@VeryBrexitProbs @FellaBrigade Thank you

MAGA calls Europe freeloaders. Here’s what they’re not telling you. ​1. Ramstein Air Base, the most important US military hub outside America, is built on German land provided rent-free, with Germany contributing hundreds of millions to its upkeep. The US couldn’t replace it anywhere in the world. 2. Every US military operation in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia flows through Ramstein. Lose it and US power projection in the Eastern Hemisphere is crippled. 3. The UK provides and maintains RAF Lakenheath used almost entirely by the US Air Force. Italy provides Aviano. Greece provides Souda Bay. Turkey provides Incirlik. European land. European infrastructure. American operations. 4. The US Sixth Fleet depends entirely on European ports for fuel and supplies. Souda Bay, Naples, 11 Greek ports. Without them the Sixth Fleet cannot operate in the Mediterranean or project power into the Middle East. 5. The majority of NATO’s intelligence and surveillance capacity is hosted on European soil and fed directly to the CIA, NSA and Pentagon. 6. Early warning radar at Fylingdales, UK. Missile tracking in Greenland. Norwegian monitoring stations near Russia. All dependent on European goodwill. 7. It would cost America MORE to bring the troops home than keep them here. European hosts subsidise roughly a third of all basing costs. 8. Europe is America’s largest arms customer. Stop buying American and part of their defence industry goes bankrupt. 9. The bases aren’t charity. They’re America using European soil, European money and European goodwill to project power across the world. 10. We’re not the freeloaders.

@gepardtatze @karol I'm watching you doing the Lords work here for the last few days. Correcting falsehoods and blatant lies with facts. You've got my admiration and my full support.

@karol Nobody said that ever.

After 9/11 I had European friends confused that we would spend time, money and effort digging up the bodies at Ground Zero. What's the point, they said. But it's what Americans (and, ahem, Israelis) do. We love life, we care about our dead, and we don't leave anyone behind.

@WarMonitor3 @TrueFactsStated War footing? Take your meds. We are so far from war footing, we can't even see war footing from where we stand. We're like the Hobbits in the shire just barely realizing that the world can be, on occasion, an unpleasant place

German men from the ages of 17-45 must now obtain permission to leave the country for more than three months as Germany takes a war footing. Wow...

@potatoslav What's the reference to 1284? No idea! It's been this way dince after ww2. Public holidays = shops are closed so employees can enjoy holiday. Makes sense, no ?

living in Germany truly does feel like living in the year 1284 sometimes. its Good Friday so today all the shops are closed and dancing is illegal. tomorrow i must walk into town to purchase some milk and eggs to make my Easter bread, because the shops are once again all closed on Sunday (as they are every Sunday)

@clashreport Jup and your supreme leader advocated for attacks on civilian infrastructure. You lost the moral high ground long ago

Marco Rubio on Iran: It’s illegal to bomb, hit, and attack commercial shipping — and sink them. That’s what the Nazis did during World War II in the Atlantic. These are terroristic acts they are undertaking.

@ukilaw Hey Khalid, tell me which nato country was attacked by iran and invoked art 5? I'm waiting

The end of America’s involvement in Iran marks the beginning of the end for NATO as we know it. For decades, the US carried 60% of the burden while Western Europe freeloaded. Now, in active war: • Spain & France blocked US airspace • Germany sneered “not our war” • Italy (Meloni) denied US planes Sicily bases • Macron refused US arsenal overflight to Israel • UK even denied Diego Garcia access NATO is finished.

@ekwufinance The biggest crisis we're facing is. Right, climate change! Go, read a book why dontcha

Little reminder: After Germany blew up their nuclear power plant cooling towers, last year they blew up one of their biggest coal power plants. Right in time for the biggest energy crisis in history to hit… The coal plant was: - Only 6 years old - Cost €3 billion - Produced 1,650 MW Germany is doing everything in its power to create a perpetual energy crisis.
