As Washington politicians face uncertain times, comparisons to Ancient Rome’s Triumvirate are raised in a recent article. The Triumvirate in Rome, consisting of Julius Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus, attempted to restore law and order in a period of chaos, but faced internal conflict and ultimately met tragic fates. With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meeting separately with President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former President Donald Trump, a new political protocol has emerged. This has led to speculation about potential leadership crises and national security threats in the absence of a clear authority figure in the U.S. Amid concerns about the competence of the current administration and the risk of adversaries taking advantage of perceived weaknesses, the article highlights the need for strong and stable leadership. The author, Peter Lucas, underscores the potential dangers during transitional periods and the urgent need for effective decision-making in the face of international challenges. Ultimately, the article warns against the idea of a toga-wearing Triumvirate as a solution to the current political uncertainty in the U.S.
