Comment on the video "Robert Pschel in the studio of Russian television."

Marcus_Octavius: Reminds us of how Roman historians describe the attempts of the Romans to talk to the Carthaginians. Typically, such Quintus Fabius Maxim comes to the Carthage Senate, and let all the rules of rhetoric push them to talk about how bad it is on their part to cut out the city of the Roman allies, and that now they need to either apologize and deliver Hannibal, or start a war with Rome. And they are like this: “You are a fool and shit, Hannibal has done everything wrong, but he is good, we will not hand him out, we don’t want war, but we are killing you all, we have captured Sagunt unlawfully, but he is ours and go on.” What does it mean to a person who is accustomed to thinking logically?
However, there is an opinion that Roman historians somewhat exaggerated (for understandable reasons) the inadequacy of the Carthaginians, and there is nothing to exaggerate.

Vacheslaugh: You are a Roman, that is to say, you are already a cartaginophob!
