"[1170] Fitz-Stephen lost no time in preparing for the attack [of Wexford]; and lining the trenches with those of his troops who wore armour, while the archers were posted so as to command the advanced towers, an assault was made on the walls with loud cries and desperate vigour. But the townsmen were ready to stand on their defence, and casting down from the battlements large stones and beams, repulsed the attack for a while, and caused numerous losses.

Among the wounded was Robert de Barri, a young soldier, who, inflamed with ardent valour, and dauntless in the face of death, was among the first who scaled the walls; but being struck upon his helmet by a great stone, and falling headlong into the ditch below, narrowly escaped with his life, his comrades with some difficulty drawing him out. Sixteen years afterwards all his jaw-teeth fell out from the effects of this stroke, and, what is more strange, new teeth grew in their places."

(From The Conquest of Ireland, Book I, Ch. III, by Gerald of Wales.)

Читаючи приватного імейлу від руснявого Сєрґєя Мілліана до Каті Белтон (FT), я не зміг стриматися та розплакався як дівчинка, не переборовши свого розчулення:

Зауважте запопадливе 'regime change', ггг. Бальная тєма!

Трішки про кацапа, який раптом виявився білорусом:

'Born in Belarus, Millian, 38 [2017], attended a university in Minsk. A Russian-language version of his biography that was posted on the Russian American Chamber of Commerce’s website says he studied to be a military translator.

Millian’s original name was Siarhei Kukuts, but those who know him say he changed it because he wanted something that sounded more elegant.

He arrived in the early 2000s as a young, single professional in Atlanta, which has a large Russian-speaking community. Friends there said he worked in real estate, and, according to one résumé posted online, he opened a translating business whose clients included the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Friends said that Millian founded the Russian American Chamber of Commerce as a way to forge business ties between the United States and Russia and as a personal networking opportunity.'

Ось такого типу люди пояснюють Трампу, які стосунки треба краще за все мати з Московією.

Можу уявити, що він там пиздів оточенню Трампа.

До речі, свого часу, "Мілліан" (господи, от йобане село) нас щиро поздоровляв з безвізом, як великий друг українського народу.
