The Myth of 300 Spartans at ThermopylaeThe movie 300 shows King Xerxes of Persia as a deranged seven-foot tall hairless creature who wears bizarre jewelry, talks in a booming voice, is convinced that he is God, and is probably delusional and sexually deviant. If the real Xerxes had been this kind of a “cartoon figure” he would not be the ruler of the Persian Empire (the Achaemenid Empire), which was bigger than any previous empire in history, spanning 5.5 million square kilometers. At its peak, the Persian Empire stretched from Asia Minor to Egypt, and to Central Asia, right up to the Indus Valley. Alexander the Great wa... read more

Some argue the withdrawal will free up American resources to focus on China and the Indo-Pacific. For others, the withdrawal opens a vacuum for China to exploit.

In addition to countering the Soviet Union and China militarily, America anchored the global financial system through a system of fixed exchange rates. To guarantee that the dollar was worth what it claimed in terms of other currencies, the U.S. Treasury promised foreign governments and central banks ... read more
