Prior to Trump's first term, there was peace in The Hormuz Strait, we had an Iran nuclear deal. The world was safe.

Historical comparisons to Roman imperial decline are incorrect.

Yes, we have gladiatorial combat staged for the ruler's birthday, plans for a triumphal arch, and oaths of fealty. But the Romans had better roads, principled senators, and respect for science.
