  1. Not just Caligula. It was fairly common to give mother nature a whipping when the dictator was angry

  2. China is not a great superpower. It's Western media with its far-right left rend,t funded by China, which gives rise to those sorts of claims. A major power is a major power because it has the ability to project power and that means it's able to get its will done, all over the world by other means than saying what it wants and that usually means supplying a lot of force or the threat of force. China can't do this and the Pelosi visit with all the huffing and puffing just showed what a big balloon of hot air lies and propaganda China really is. If China attempts to take Taiwan and don't forget, we're talking about 160 different islands. The result will be catastrophic and they will suffer such a resounding defeat that they will possibly go home, shut the doors and sulk for decades. Not only that, but of the nearly 3000 Politburo members, then there are a confirmed 1.1 trillion USD worth of stowed away money in Swiss bank accounts and the Swiss banks have said publicly, that they will follow EU sanctions along the lines of the Ukraine if Taiwan is invaded. This means a lot of Chinese nation's stolen money by the mainly corrupt communist government of China will be lost or frozen..... Same thing. $1.1 trillion is a fair nest egg.
