@BasedMikeLee A Roman poet Juvenal complained Roman citizens cared more about 'bread' and 'circuses' than politics, a symptom of civic decline.
Most scholars see 'circuses' as symptoms of broad social and political dynamics. The spectacles helped rulers maintain popularity and social order.
@EchoesofWarYT It's not the size of the man but his heart's.
The all-time deadliest sniper Simo Häyhä was ~160cm/<60kgs.
Smaller frame is smaller target, easier to hide and consumes less energy.
Still - mind over matter - heart and brains beat body. Most of the time.
@ilebuda@JaakkolaKaarina@LesiaLVD Learn history. UZZR was the aggressor.
- During the Interim Peace USSR had relaid plans to conquer Finland.
- 22 June 1941, the USSR sent 7 bombers into Finland.
- 25 June 460 USSR fighters and bombers hit Finnish cities
- Only then Finland declared war

@AgoraSignal@historigins 🤯 😂🙄... ruzzkis tried to kill Simo using dozens of snipers (most never returned), mortar and artillery fire, air raids... After ~100 days he was caught with a lucky shot using illegal exploding bullet (illegality is a ruzzian standard). Didn't kill Simo.
Outclassed?...😂🙄🤯
