This is the Friends of History Debatting Society. I am Gaius and Germanicus

Michael Laius is here. We're in Londidium. It's autumn now. It's cooler.

A lot of wind in the morning and the Thames is turbulent.

The retired centurians and their family say shop early and get home.

You want to get dinner done and then go to bed and not waste money on candles.

At the same time, we're watching the 21st century where there's no decision yet on the new emperor.

Is it going to be the old emperor? Is it going to be a

complete departure? The question here is how can you tell from 2,000 years away?

We're in Londinium where it's the first century a. D. What we know is not

democracy. We know authority. And I want to point to an authoritative event in these last days in the 21st century that may or may not

touch on the new emperor decision-making in America. This is my observation as Gaius of the success of Benjamin

Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel and the IDDF to fight like Romans. How did Romans fight?

Relentlessly for total victory. No negotiation. Capitulation is the only thing they wanted to hear. And then they

decap. They do not imprison. They dec, forever.

Example, Versen Getterix, who rises to be the hero of the Gauls against Caesar, gathering together

the tribes and taking on Caesar's Legion. Eventually, after several battles, he retreats with

his soldiers to Alicia somewhere in France today. And they are surrounded by the Roman legions who dig what they usually do, a wall

in a trench. They surround the city which is itself walled. And that, the reason they

do that is they starve it to death.

At some point in this surround the city,

Versingetorix realizes there wasn't enough food to feed both his soldiers and the population. Help is

said to be on the way. The word has gone out to the Gallic tribes to come to the rescue of Vers Getterex, so he's got to buy time.
