I had to read The Prince in a military history class. I feel like this is more relevant to modern day politics more than ever. War is the continuation of politics by other means...

Funny, I was just having some mandrake root tea, and I stumbled upon this. Seriously though, I browsed through your videos, and subscribed. Nice lineup. The Prince is a good one.
