In The Londinium Chronicles, Gaius (John Batchelor) and Germanicus (Michael Vlahos) explore the intersections of Roman history and modern geopolitics.

Gaius and Germanicus: The hosts analyze the current &quot;floundering&quot; of the White House and the Kremlin. Germanicus argues the US lacks a &quot;theory of victory&quot; in Iran, mired in a conflict it refuses to settle due to the inability to accept defeat. S...

While popular in America, the speech was rejected by European Allies who had already sacrificed too much blood and ...
