1 chapters across the catalog

The official fall of the Western Roman Empire is marked by the barbarian king Odoacer deposing the final emperor in 476 AD. The discussion explores the role of the "Praetorian Guard" as an unchecked branch of government, similar to the modern "Deep State." Slate warns that when military leaders like General Milley subvert executive orders, it sets a precedent for future coups.
