Forgotten and now remembered, with thee usual disquiet. Even at the time that was weird noises territory; the zoom-out almost demands an incoming SS-20. If Threads were broadcast on a huge wheeled-in telly...
Putin's wars are all wars of choice, pursued for imperialist restoration, out of a position of strength and expected impunity. One of Russia's greatest propaganda achievements convincing the bulk of American pundits and IR folks that it fights out of fear, humiliation, and prevention.
Can't believe they didn't go with Rambo No 5
Any country that still has an approval figure in double digits from this traitorous, criminal shit, especially when it begins with a fucking 3 or above, is in serious trouble waaaaay beyond that one man. He's a symptom, not the cause.

Why not both?
Yup; arrest the prick, it's not like there aren't grounds. Then you'll see if those companies tell you to piss off. Countries enfeeble themselves before corrupt and criminal oligarchs through choosing weakness.

The signpost story would reduce a quite varied and rich picture down to something basically utilitarian (even if it's a good story on first hearing, as it is).
Hadrian's Wall and you'll find the placing very much by places you'd want to protect - wells (Chesters) and sections of wall vulnerable to collapse because of watercourses (hence a big cluster round Birdoswald).
It's a symbol linked to protection and bountifulness - hence the weighing at Pompeii.

Go somewhere like
The brothel story is a hoary old myth, usually told about Pompeii. They're for good fortune and also help protect things (e.g. wells). Give em a tap as you go past etc.
The whole of Kung Fury is back up on YouTube and it's basically a Pete Hegseth press conference (altho' with, er, maybe different politics).
Hurt Locker was horseshit on nearly every level; the adulation it got made that feel even worse.
There's a spiffy Gandharan relief in the BM with a clear-as-day telling of the Trojan Horse and Cassandra story.
Strong Mike Yarwood energy.
Yup, here we go.
Not entirely surprising, of course, since the discovery of the Monsoon Secret and with the extent of Indian trade Pliny talks about, as well as the ports on the Red Sea etc.
There is one small image of an Indian deity at Pompeii, IIRC.
