In the history of humanity has there EVER been an instance with a state not only inviting their conquerors, but PAYING them as well? I can’t think of one.

Liberals are dooming us all. But they’re too stupid to see it.

Actually the Romans made the same mistake wrt the Visigoths. Didn’t end well for either of them.

The Foedus. In the late Roman empire the Romans paid barbarians to guard the borders they previously had breached. Some of them in what is now Germany. The word federal derives from foedus ( pronounced fey-doos)
