I think it would be expansion signal for most, non? adding 20% more capacity is still cheaper than rehauling the whole thingy, nor is it likely their efficiency will increase that much to save space or whatever reason

Good episode, even a little bit too much tilted to the cultural theory of eminence (i think hired mercenaries also had something to do with italian city states)

building from ashes is shit idea from porkies, not everyone can buy depreciated assets

renaissance is 18-19th century rehistorization (although i was taught that, but culture insists otherwise)

Uncommited? The vote in primary against genocide joe? How do you feel that 90% of light of the nation (democrats) voted for the feeble cruel monster?

Not a joke btw - (Snyder said that the Initiative plans to lay the foundation of "something that will endure after the war." The initiative was founded by Victor Pinchuk, a Ukrainian oligarch with close ties to former president Leonid Kuchma; Kuchma was implicated in the killing of journalist Georgy Gongadze.)

textWashington, D.C. — America’s leading maritime labor unions are calling on the Trump Administration and Congress to require that any crude oil imported from Venezuela be transported exclusively on U.S.-flag vessels crewed by American mariners, arguing such policy is essential to U.S. economic and national security interests.

“A cornerstone of an effective national maritime policy is gaining access to private, commercial cargoes that create steady demand for U.S.-flag vessels, American mariners, and the shipbuilding industrial base,” the unions wrote in a letter to senior Administration officials. The Marine Engineers’ Beneficial Association (MEBA), American Maritime Officers (AMO), the International Organization of Masters, Mates and Pilots (MM&P), and the Seafarers International Union (SIU), which represent the majority of U.S. Merchant Mariners sailing in the U.S.-flag fleet, argued that aligning American foreign policy and energy needs with “Ship American” principles would strengthen the U.S. maritime workforce, reduce reliance on foreign-controlled shipping, and counter the growth of opaque “shadow fleet” tanker operations used to move sanctioned oil outside U.S. oversight.

The unions warned that current restrictions on Venezuelan oil have shifted global trade toward foreign-controlled shipping networks, including opaque “shadow fleet” tankers operating outside U.S. labor and safety standards. As a result, U.S. maritime workers and carriers are excluded from energy cargoes that could otherwise support American shipping capacity and enforcement objectives.
