TRUMP PAYS TRIBUTE TO 15th CENTURY ANTI-IMMIGRANT ACTIVIST WITH FAVOURED WALL DESIGN
Border defence across the centuries |
Recently President Trump tweeted his favoured design for an effective border wall along the USA's Southern border. It is to consist of metal spikes around 10 meters tall, sharply pointed at the ends.
Leftists and globalists (increasingly joined at the hip) have criticised the design, saying that it would not be effective. But just looking at it, tells you all you need to know -- it would be a very difficult undertaking to climb over this wall, especially backed up by surveillance and border patrols.
But the design is not just an untried prototype, as claimed by critics. It is clearly based on -- or definitely inspired by -- the work of an earlier anti-illegal-immigration campaigner, namely Vlad III of Wallachia, also known to history as "Vlad the Impaler.
Vlad was a 15th century Romanian politician, who, like Trump, faced a massive influx of illegal immigrants across his southern border. The invaders in that case were hordes of violent Ottoman Turks rather than peaceful welfare migrants. However, Vlad managed to successfully deal with that crisis by using a design not unlike Trump's proposed Wall of spikes.
Vlad also had zero funding issues, as his design could be used equally well against foreign invaders and any Wallachian nobles reluctant to provide the necessary funding.
But there is one important difference between Vlad's design and that favoured by Trump. While Vlad made a "point" of ensuring that the invaders of his land -- or lilly-livered nobles -- were impaled on his stakes, the only people who would be impaled on Trump's Wall would be those foolish enough to do it themselves.
It would be a nice touch, however, if Trump's Wall could also be used as a deterrent against any Congressman or Senator betraying the American people, who simply want common sense border security.
