The Punic Wars were another step in the endless grinding of the Romans against every region bordering their territories. Yes both Carthage and atomen were expanding into each other’s sphere of influence, but I don’t agree that either side considered it a struggle for ultimate power.

Rome was never a democracy. Rome didn’t have a single war that made it hegemonic. Sorry this account is just fiction.

My understanding is that glass from the screen likely shattered and hit his ear?

In any case, a little better aim and we would have a better world.

Well, in principle there can be full employment that is terrible for the economy. Imagine everyone working at Walmart, but not actually earning enough to buy enough food to survive.

But in general you’re right, people not having jobs is shit.

In the fine article people were at the home of their representative.

Across the street was the house of Rep. Carol Miller, R-W.Va. The imposing brick home was darkened, the curtains were drawn. No car was visible in the driveway. But for the assembled, it was a last ditch effort to get some kind of attention from the Congresswoman.

I don’t follow mainstream news much, but Trump’s ability to suck all the air out of the room by doing crazy shit seems to have eliminated the 80% of my posts on Lemmy that were about Epstein. 🤔

Other cities are not run by the federal government, so on it would be hard to do… not that Trump cares about rules, so who knows?

It will also give Azerbaijan another route to send natural gas by pipeline to Europe via Turkiye, while bypassing Georgia, a Russian ally.

In what universe is Georgia a Russian ally?!

The entire article is bonkers, but thanks for posting it. I wouldn’t have known about the agreement otherwise.

Netanyahu is a terrible human being but an amazing politician.

In Israel all governments are coalition governments, and as Netanyahu got less and less mainstream support he tacked further and further to the right, joining with crazy religious fundamentalists because that was the only way to stay in power.

My understanding is that very shortly after losing power he will end up in court on corruption charges, and maybe die in prison. Not because of crimes against humanity, but for crimes against Israel.

There are more Jews in the USA than in Israel?

Amazing. That’s like 1% of the population of Oz!

I assume he means a diversified investment portfolio.
