This episode of Londinium Chronicles was broadcast live yesterday on YouTube, X, and here on Substack.
Join us this Sunday at 6PM EST on Substack for another live broadcast.
Last night, Gaius and Germanicus examined the sudden emergence of “peace” in the headlines surrounding Ukraine and why that word so often signals defeat rather than resolution.
With Ukrainian forces losing 40,000 soldiers a month and Europe lacking any deployable military capacity, the conversation turns to what leverage the US actually has left, and why the neocons have gone quiet.
Then, Gaius asks Germanicus why America has lost the sense of civic fraternity that still defines French national identity.
We close with a meditation on regicide, and issue a warning that those who entertain such thoughts about the current “sacred king” may not understand the historical forces they’re invoking.
