Washington definitely understood the danger of a political military

If you read about fall of Rome, that's one of the lessons you should learn.

The military essentially seized power from about AD 100-200 onwards.

Yeah they definitely had way too much independent influence

especially as they started recruiting foreigners from outside the empire

You'd always get them coming down from Danube or Rhine down to Rome to install someone into power.

True

at the end of the empire the power was centred in the german border in the west

Trier i think it was

Whilst the east was getting beaten to hell and back by the Sassanids

Italy itself was not capable of defending against that, the people didn't have the capability and weren't trained (afaik in the times of the Republic, fathers had the obligation to train their sons to have some basic ability to fight in a Roman army)

yeah the med in general was demilitarised

The vandals managed to steal Africa with pretty much no resistance

but tbh I'm glad Rome fell, it was necessary really for Europe to advance

Will European Union fall?

No

Damn

The eu is anti democratic

No, since the power still lies with the people. We vote for MEPs whom are able to vote on legislation. We also, as states have a veto power on any legislation that we like.

The thing with the EU is that the people are dumb

That is not true.

Qualified majority.

Sorry fossil fuel shills, it’s coming to an end

yay can't wait to be forced to walk or have to take incredibly crowded public transport

while rich elitist cunts are able to buy the newest electric car

or have my wallet raped by insanely high taxs

i mean just how wonderful it is to have the middle class erased by insanely high taxs and for the Globalist elite of a demonic cult to run everything

honestly Globalists that Run the EU and other organisations are demon spawn them selves

there fucking cultist

well at least we agree the middle class' chief adversary are the elites, before peasant immigrants

Peasants chief adversary is the low skilled immigrant

@UltimateAgent25 Thank you for that quality shitpost, sir.

@tea_in_space My man, welcome, to the Real World!

This is what they want for Britain too, make no mistake, and as someone who is forced to use shitty public transport every day to get to the job I can tell you it ain't gonna look well in your country, too, but if you ask Greta, this is the price you have to pay in order to be able to live in a "green utopia" for everybody!

Remember, even you produce CO2 by every breath you take, so it might be good for the environment to erase you, too, for the better of the planet, you see.

Yes, we produce CO2, but that’s a stupidly low amount

As Italy but now they are teaching climate change in school s

As they should. A smart idea.
