Empires generally only live 2-2.5 centuries…

This is the perfect, most-narcissistic, modern “stamping” of the finishing of an empire ( which will take years to take-down as much of the world as it can, with its death-spasms ) ever.
Glubb apparently deemed it to be about 10 generations ( presuming 25y/generation? ) I think … each decade or so is more a distinct-generation, so therefore it’d be about 21-25 distinct generations per empire, then?
Whatever: once the identity of the ruling-class is completely-divorced from the actual-population’s substance, then it’s finished.
( also, whomever it was who did the profile-face artwork on that image, above, it’s good skilful work, but it’s dishonest: it doesn’t represent the spirit of the real guy )

Yeah, a commemorative coin of that incident where he received a bullet wound to the ear, which was miraculously fully healed just a couple of weeks after.
Couple of weeks is a long time for a flesh wound to heal. Did you mean couple of days? I don’t know what the conspiracy is for this one.
You mean a missing chunk of flesh, as small as it could have been, can be grown back in a couple of weeks? Are you Wolverine?
Bullets don’t make clean wounds.
But leaving that aside, the whole incident, the “historic”, heroic photo with the American flag in the back, and Trump pumping his fist as if he was leading some kind of struggle, it smells of staging. Even exposing himself to more shots is very atypical of a self-centered person like himself.
I saw no evidence that there was any “missing chunk of flesh”:
there was a little blood,
but having a supersonic projectile tear an old-man’s skin with its shockwave doesn’t mean the bullet actually touched him.
