They blew up an Iranian weapons factory days ago, that definitely helps. Israel has also helped Ukraine financially and with non lethal aid. It's definitely not ideal but it's better than nothing, I'm sure if Russia keeps working with Iran their stance will become more openly pro Ukraine.

He did loads to help the people and Roman soldiers as well. Sure mainly did it to gain broad appeal and power but I'd rather someone help me in their own self interest when I'm poor and starving than not help me it all. If you study Caesar's military and political campaigns you quickly begin to see he was a straight up genius. The Senate tried to quash anyone who gained too much popularity and power because it threatened their stranglehold on grift from the state. I personally thing Caesar would have kept the Senate and Rome in many ways if he wasn't killed. I also wish he could have finished his Parthia campaign, world history would be better for it.

Check out Historia Civilis on YouTube as well, he makes some great little square videos that go thru Roman history and battles really well. His history lessons are enjoyable to watch and easily understood.

Russian bots have become so common it's actually just an obnoxious thing like pop up ads you have to avoid. They very much overplayed their hand after their success in 2015-2016. Putin thought he could continue to brainwash the world with stupid social media bots, he failed to gauge the temperature in the room.

I've watched Historia Civilis videos on Caesar and Augustus. I won't say Caesar was a great guy all around and he definitely was a tyrant but I feel he did more good than the entire Senate combined when it comes to the people of Rome. How many people have left a significant amount of their fortune to be distributed amongst the people when they die thru history, very few. Caesar also spent vast fortunes of his own money improving Rome's infrastructure. I think it was really the lesser of two evils situation and the Senate in my view was far more evil.

Caesar definitely was not a good person by modern standards but I have always consider him the good guy in all this because he was truly interested in helping the average Roman vs the Senate which didn't give a fuck about them. Ya Caesar was corrupt but he used it to pass legislation that helped poor and working class Romans. The Senate was corrupt and only helped themselves.

One tidbit that gets left out of the discussion about Caesar marching on Rome is the fact that the Senate had illegally appointed Pompey Consul. A Roman at that time could only be Consul once every ten years and Pompey only waited a few years to become Consul again. He was also required by law to give up his Governorship and his military command and the Senate let him not do that as well. There were also supposed to be two Consuls but Pompey was granted it alone and given extensive powers by the Senate.

To top it all off the Senate was waiting for Caesar's Governorship of Gaul (and immunity) to end so they could charge him with bullshit crimes to do away with him because he was a Populares who worked for the people. Caesar requested to run for Consul without giving up his Governorship and military command but the Senate refused. Caesar kept saying but what about Pompey, you let him do it. Caesar wasn't stupid enough to give up his troops and criminal immunity when Pompey held absolute power and the Senate wanted him dead. He crossed the Rubicon when they declared him enemy of the state and I really don't blame him.

This is a great documentary about the Civil War

This is true because there's tons of pyramids in Egypt that are completely falling apart and you just don't ever see them on TV. There's around 113 pyramids in Egypt and we typically only see the early ones, the later ones were constructed more cheaply and fell apart.

You can also make wine out of the blossoms too.
