“Isn’t the purpose of a city, a country to protect the interests of the people within - the citizens?”
I always thought it was for welfare and to fund ‘the arts’, you know paying people to have babies and not work. Mutual protection, what a joke! There weren’t any threats back then.
Obviously I’m kidding (just spouting what the Democrats actually do think). I’m watching The Last Kingdom on Netflix, it is about the unification of Great Britain over 1000 years ago, it is OUTSTANDING, and yes, raids were savage and happened without warning, over and over.
From roughly the same period, Netflix has a hilarious Vikings series called Norsemen.
