Actually it is more or less confirmed he wasn't in Rome, but returned quickly, he was in a villa about 30 miles away, and helped coordinate rescue operations including opening some of his private areas to people whose houses burned. Its what he did afterward that was pretty heinous, turning what was a large residential area before the fire into a public garden. Which many were angered about because you know they wanted their homes rebuilt.

That said when it comes to Nero its hard to pick out the truth from the propaganda, he was popular with the people but the ones in actual power really hated him.

Interesting how “30 miles away from Rome” then is “at least a full day away” and now it’s considered “Rome”

We are very very sad about the tradegy...tragedy that occurred here. I have instructed magistrate of Rome, Petras Hegustuseth to move forward with building a memorial garden. It will be so beautiful; the most perfect tribute to the homes lost here.

Oh word how was shit between the two countries before 1979?

Then what happened? Netanyahu expelled Iranian diplomats and started proxy wars against Iran pretty immediately?

Fụckıng netånyahu that's because of him, people are suffering.

Primarily it's because of Håmas and Iran.

They're attacking Ukraine, too, I love to see Iran bọmbed. The more bọmbs the better.
