Pompeii's battle scars linked to an ancient 'machine gun'

The ancient city of Pompeii is one of those archaeological sites that keeps on giving with one discovery after another. While much of what we know about the Roman settlement comes from the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, another significant event from nearly a century earlier is also yielding fresh insights into its past.

They are certainly old enough that they could remember it, but they don't believe history has anything to teach them, so they never learned it in the first place.

Pure hubris. "I am a force of nature and will bend history to my will" meets "Hi, I also have a machine-gun" and loses, badly.

"The enemy always gets a vote" is a great way to express it.

Onkohan väline viesti myös/edes sotatekniikassa? Kysymys voisi herätä Kalle Haatasen tänäistä jaksoa kohta kuunnellessa.

Markkinoinnin osalta kysymyksen herätti Jani Halme 2018 Suomenlehdistö.fi sivulla, https://suomenlehdisto.fi/onko-valine-enaa-viesti/

Konekivääri Suomen sodissa | Kalle Haatanen

Kun konekivääri ilmestyi sotakentille, sitä pidettiin jopa sodat lopettavana aseena - eihän kukaan voisi käyttää noin julman tehokasta keinoa tappaa. Sotahistorioitsija Simo Liikanen valottaa Suomen sodankäyntiä tämän teknologisen innovaation perspektiivistä. Konekiväärin tuhovoimaa vähensi sen alkuaikojen piirteet. Laite painoi hirveästi eikä sopinut hyökkäyssotaan. Puolustustaisteluissa se oli tehokas ja tuhoisa.

Not shure if it's a good thing #Maduro isn't in #GITMO cuz I expect some fabricated #incident (fake prison escape and/or assasination) to happen to him).

Personally, I think the "charges" are either made-up (i.e. "#NarcoTerrorism") and/or simply not within the juristiction of the #USA to begin with (i.e. "Possession of a #MachineGun" / "#DestructiveDevice") because #US law does not apply to #Venezuela!

Otherwise I could just demand the #US to enforce the #2A in #Germany...

I expect a #ShowTrial like they did with #Saddam with a sham court. Cuz the USA doesn't care about #Justice, cuz othrwise they'd not treaten the #ICC at gunpoint, sabotage it's operations and penalize it's personnel with #embargos and sham #sanctions ...
