I think it was the fifth century when the emperor of the Western Empire let the Goths in. He was subsequently defeated by a Gothic army, who then went on a rampage in the Empire. It was the beginning of the end of the Western Empire. We should keep this in mind before we let barbarians into our country.

——the emperor of the Western Empire let the Goths in-—

I have been considering that thought for sometime now.

The question rises, did he allow them in or was he powerless to resist.

I suspect the latter.

Goths were. Rome wasn’t
