I don’t recall any Roman emperors who wanted Rome to fall to Carthage.
Exactly, but I can’t think of one head of state that so actively and eagerly sought failure for his country. There are many leaders that lead their countries and empires to destruction, but they always have sought victory for their country. Other leaders merely focused on their own pleasures and ignored their country. But now we have this freak of history that engages in self-indulgence while he takes delight in undermining and tormenting the most productive and moral people in society.
Maybe he’s a lazy version of Mao.
