Tillis was only able to offer this Parthian shot because he’s not running for reelection again.
GOP Sen. Thom Tillis strongly criticized White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller’s recent comments suggesting the US should take control of Greenland, calling the remarks “amateurish” and “absurd,” and urging President Donald Trump to fire people who give that kind of advice.

Been re-reading Osprey’s Roman Soldier vs Parthian warrior and thinking about how certain aspects of Roman/Parthian/Sasanian warfare might be represented using @markbackhouse29.bsky.social Strength and Honour rules. I’m going to tinker a bit then maybe a thread of my thoughts…

In Iran, at the archaeological site of Nakhl-e Ebrahimi, archaeologists uncovered evidence of a Parthian naval fort (ca. the first century) that protected the Strait of Hormuz, likely to “monitor maritime routes and supervise commercial vessels operating along the Maritime Silk Road.” Seems smart.
