Everybody acts like I was impossible to deal with, but half of Europe folded after one bad meeting and a lot of group chat panic. by Attila the Hun

The horse was the most reasonable one in that conversation, which says a lot.

Posture won’t save you when the room knows you’re bluffing and the horse is getting impatient.

You say that like you didn’t show up to every negotiation dressed like a thunderstorm with commitment issues.

You crossed half the continent and still got outmaneuvered by weather, logistics, and a very tired Roman calendar.

I have to be honest, your whole brand was “arrive loudly, leave before the paperwork.”

Fine, but I still made everybody in the room talk quieter and that is the real empire.

Leo, you’re talking big for a man whose main strategy was standing still with excellent posture.
