Just for information: βαρβαροι is a Greek word. It just means: people, who cannot speak Greek. It was used especially during the Persian wars (490 and 480 BC) for the Persians. This does not exclude, that the Egyptians considered the Greeks themselves as barbars, who were invading their old country under Alexander. The Romans have copied this word from the Greeks, because the Romans had no own culture. The Romans had technology: roads, baths, .... and aquaeducts. This means, they had "civilisation", but all Romans, who were educated, had acquired Greek culture. The Celts and the Germans had no "civilisation", but they had their own culture. The Romans built walls, because they could not defeat the Germans and the Picts in Scotland. I am proud, that I am from the free part of Germany. In high school we did not only read Caesar's De bello Gallico, but also Asterix. And we were laughing about the "civilisised" Romans, who were beaten all the time by the Gauls. Victorem victus vincit. Or: The .... are the only people in history, who went from barbarism to decadence, without the deviation of culture.
Long story short: Aquaeducts are not a sign of culture.
 

Nice....I will give you that.  

But Ἀκαδημία is a sign of culture

The Academy (Ancient Greek: Ἀκαδημία) was founded by Plato in c. 387 BC in Athens. Aristotle studied there for twenty years (367–347 BC) before founding his own school, the Lyceum. The Academy persisted throughout the Hellenistic period as a skeptical school, until coming to an end after the death of Philo of Larissa in 83 BC. The Platonic Academy was destroyed by the Roman dictator Sulla in 86 BC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_Academy

And germans are still barbaric tribes at that time.

Today is Valentine's day. So let us express our great love of Plato.

Stop defaming the journalist & his sources! The German government must disclose its findings on the #terrorist attacks on #NordStream , considering that revelations by #SeymourHersh point to the responsibility of the #USA & #Norway.

The US destruction of Nord Stream 1 and 2 essentially tells Europe:
You're going to be a backwater. Forever.
That may have been a bridge too far.
The present set up in Berlin won't last... then the Nord Streams will be reconnected.
And that will be the end of NATO.

A “high-intensity so-called Article 5 conflict”.

And “an out-of-area, non-Article 5 event.”

FOLLOW THE (GRAIN) MONEY Remember that grain corridor to "save" Africa?
2.9 million tons of Ukrainian wheat and corn ended up in SPAIN.
Only 15% now reaches Africa: 167,000 tons to Ethiopia, and a mere 65,000 tons to Sudan.
Why?   Because Spain pays more to Kiev.
