Live with more Rome 2 House of Cornelia! The Greco-Roman Wars have gone well, with 8 new regions through Greece, Macedonia, and Thrace under our control from yesterday's session! (before-after pictured)

Now we prepare to cross the Rubicon - er, I mean, the Bosporus, into Anatolia ⚔️

Right on. Preach. Turkey is a NATO partner, which immediately controls the Black Sea through Bosporus and Dardanelles.

Can't wait until Russia collapses this spring. Then the world can focus on the other country committing war crimes and genocide.

Live now on the purple app, slightly earlier than usual because I'm eager to get underway :)

The Greco-Roman Wars have begun. Rome and the ruling House of Cornelia vs the combined strength of Athens, Sparta, and Macedon through the Balkans, Greece, the Bosporus and the Black Sea. ⚔️

Die Steuerung und die durch den Drohnenangriff beschädigten Bereiche des Rumpfes wurden soweit repariert, dass er seetüchtig blieb.

Derzeit wird der Tanker abgeschleppt und gestern beim Bosporus gefilmt.

Ukraine doesn't need to sink the tankers. It's enough to damage them so it will become impossible to get an insurance for the tankers.
Without insurance, they cannot pass the Bosporus

Stealing Ukrainian grain - this ship will be given free passage through the Bosporus by the Turkish, enabling the war crime.

Reported on Crimean Telegram:

👀"Our eyes" see everything: a Ukrainian grain ship is being held in Yalta Bay

Völkerrecht funktioniert nicht gut (mangelnde Durchsetzbarkeit, Rücksichtnahme auf dies, das). Und das ist ja schon länger so.

z.B. Türkei bombardierte Kurdengebiete (Syrien), Völkerrechtler kritisierten, aber richtig gewirkt hat so etwas ja nicht, weil T. in der NATO, T. Aufgabe am Bosporus usw..

The Bosporus is a strait that connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara. It forms one of the continental boundaries between Asia and Europe. The city of Istanbul sits on its banks.

Die EU-Länder im Norden u. die Ostsee (bes. mit der Insel Gotland), ein starkes Polen, eine (hoffentlich) siegreiche Ukraine u. eine militärisch starke Türkei (Top-Drohnen-Technik) mit Kontrolle über den Bosporus sind nicht einfach so zu "knacken".

Außerdem haben wir als Faustpfand Kaliningrad. ;-)

Ich lache mit den sogenannten Experten in den Nachrichten die die Taten eines Wahnsinnigen versuchen zu erklären und zu deuten. Solche Individuen sind unberechenbar und handeln impulsiv. Das Blutmonster aus Moskau, der Pascha von Bosporus und der Dicke aus Nordkorea sind die beste Beispiele.

For #FridayReads I am suffering through Declare by Tim Powers. As a hater of bad infodunps this may explain my pain - pages and pages of this
06:48 DECLARE: SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2011 ARTHUR C. CLA... the Soviet residencies have all switched to new call signs and cipher keys." Hale nodded. This looked like the prelude to a big Communist takeover in the Arab states; bad enough, certainly, but where precisely did Declare come in? Why had White consulted the Pope? "This government won't be able to weather it," growled Mac-millan, leaning on the chair across from Hale. "The wage-freezes in '61 hurt us politically, and it looks too likely that de Gaulle will veto Britain's entry into the European Economic Community within the month, because we've agreed to take American nuclear missiles on our submarines; but since the Suez Canal fiasco the Americans won't support us very far. And if our Conservative government falls, and the Liberals do step into power in White-hall, the Soviets will have no substantial difficulty in taking what they've wanted to get ever since the Versailles Treaty-the Bosporus and the Dardanelles and thus free passage of shipping from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean-and all the most oil-rich countries in the world!—in fact, the Ottoman Empire, all of Moslem Asia as it existed before the First World War." He stared at Dick White, and then, alarmingly, straight at Hale. "I wasn't in the government in 1948, when this unsanctioned Declare operation was somehow... exercised, in eastern Turkey; I've simply inherited it. You commanded it, I think." And saw the five men in my charge driven mad or killed, thought Hale; along with some number of Russians. "That 1948 operation, yes." Not for the first time, he wondered what had become of the two members of his party whom he had briefly seen on the road down out of the Ahora Gorge, on that night. Beds in British military mental asylums? Begging bowls, or unmarked graves, in the Kurdish villages around Lake Van?

Ich steige gleich auf eine Fähre über den Bosporus, vielleicht ja auch ein Love Boat! Könnte ansonsten diesen Film nachher anstelle von "Peter's Friends" schauen, was eigentlich auf dem Programm stand. Fa. dankt.

Was ich so mag:
Pendeln zwischen Deutschland und Istanbul. Bratwurst in Deutschland immer wieder und Fischbrot am Bosporus. Schwarzwälder Sahnetorte in Deutschland und Izmirer Lokma mit Zimt am Bosporus. Schlender am Main und Möwenfeste am Bosporus.
