This was not the Vandals, it was the Visigoths led by Alaric I. The sacking of Rome followed years of rights being stripped away from tribal peoples as a new Cesar transitioned from a period of equality where the tribes enjoyed Roman status, to Emporer Honorius who stripped all that away. This also led to a period of famine and terrible treatment where they were viewed as barbarians, when in fact many left their Pagan ways behind to become Christians.
Alaric I himself was denied a generalship in the regular Roman army, an accomplishment that would have been granted before Horonius.
So, no, comparing this sniveling group of Trump Terds to the Visigoths is wholly inaccurate. It would be more correct to compare it to Native A.erican wars that followed the Trail of Tears, or any of the many atrocities we committed against native peoples.
I was touring DC showing it to a German friend that was studying in the US. We were standing behind the capitol building when were approached by two missionaries(?) trying to get us to join their church. One says to me, “everything thay has happened and everything that will happen is in the Bible”. So I straight up ask him “When will DC get sacked?”, and they decided to cut the conversation right there because they assumed I was trolling. Well, what do you know, two years later, same place where i asked that question, Jan 6 happens. I guess it wasn’t such a stupid question after all.
Also, another unrelated story from that trip. We were walking around the memorial fountain when a lady comes up to us “We are going to thank our veterans, come join us in thanking our veterans”, they seemed to be WWII veterans and my German friend says “Well I guess I should thank them for not killing my grandfather”
