Why do people call Alexander "The Great" while he & his army had done countless atrocities & oppressions on children, women, men, & old people?

He was a tyrant who had an unquenchable thirst  for power & empire expansion. He never preached humanity, tolerance, love, ♥️ & peace 🫒.

特朗普再次表示,美国“将不再帮助”那些依赖这条战略海峡的国家

🇲🇲 美国对伊朗伊斯法罕的空袭引发了巨大的火球冲向夜空,目击者周二凌晨在伊斯法罕上空捕捉到巨大的爆炸和火灾。伊斯法罕是伊朗一个重要的空军基地和其他军事基地的所在地,同时也是伊朗的一个核设施所在地。白宫宣布唐纳德·特朗普将于周三晚上9点向全国发表讲话,“提供关于伊朗的重要新信息”。以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡依然坚持强硬立场:“这场运动还没有结束”,他在电视讲话中表示,“我们将继续粉碎恐怖政权,加强周围的安全区,并实现我们的目标”。美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯周二警告美国盟友要更多支持伊朗战争,否则“开始为自己而战”,呼应了特朗普总统批评部分伙伴未能充分支持美国所作努力的观点。伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽什基安则呼吁为结束战争提供“必要条件”,特别是“防止侵略重演的必要保证”、支付财政赔偿以及在所有战线停止敌对行动。与此同时,伊朗革命卫队在一份声明中列出了包括谷歌、苹果、Meta和特斯拉在内的18家美国公司,指控他们“间谍活动”,并威胁要“摧毁”其办公场所,以报复任何对伊朗官员的新“暗杀”事件。美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯表示,接下来的几天将是“决定性的”,同时保证与伊朗的谈判正在“加强”。
