Comments by "Fumble_ Brewski" (@fumble_brewski5410) on "Ukraine War Updates Part 2: The Counter-Offensive || Peter Zeihan" video.
Reminiscent of the war between the Greeks under Alexander the Great versus the Medo-Persian empire under Darius III in c. 330 BCE. The Greeks had a smaller (outnumbered by more than 2 to 1) but much more mobile and efficient force compared to the Persians, who had a huge but plodding army. The Battle of Issus effectively ended the Medo-Persian empire. Interestingly, in biblical symbology, the Medo-Persian empire was represented by a bear, just as the modern Russian empire is today. Coincidence, or is history repeating itself?
