Yeah I’ve been starting to think this too. Zelensky is just trying to get security NOW, but knows the USA situation can change at any time again, like it just did.

Get security now, sue or just ignore the agreement later.

I’ve also read that there might not be as much minerals as everyone makes out. Data is from old Soviet era surveys.

Replying with Summit to agree with you that it’s the best. Reminds me of baconreader in the olden days.

You know what they should cut? Useless TSA security theatre. At least that would be useful.

Ukraine used to produce a big chunk of the weapons for the Soviet union back in the day as well. They’re not new to the military industry.

I know it’s probably cultural, but how do you look at a bat and think to yourself that looks delicious?

Exactly. Do Australia next please!

Yeah that’s pretty scary. Commercial flights had to be diverted.

It’s confusing to him because he is a street level member of the rival gang.

I hurd you btw.

And on top of that I recall the occasional claims that not everything that was promised was always delivered?

And what happened to the lend lease thing? Didn’t a bit chunk come from that so Ukraine needs to repay it in any case?

You’d probably be okay and able to follow along but some things will be different or not make sense as they might mention characters who were never in the tv show. Eg Drummer was completely different. And without spoilers there is one giant difference with one of the main characters due to stuff that happened in real life with the actor. Also in the books you get to know the characters’ inner thoughts and motivations which might make some decisions in the last 3 books not too clear.

I’d recommend reading them all as they are very good. But yeah you’ll probably be fine.

Did you get the memo?

Coke water or Pepsi water? /s

Pretty closely. All the main Roci crew characters are the same. Some peripheral characters are sometimes swapped or amalgamated. Or scenes are changed to be more cinematic.

The books are also a slower burn which explains a lot of details better… The show can someones gloss over a lot of stuff.

But the broad plot is the same. And the TV show stops roughly at book 6 while there are a total of 9 books.

You can’t concede things which you don’t own or control.

I’m officially making a concession to Russia that they can have Alaska, Florida and Texas in exchange for withdrawing from Ukraine. See? Easy!

If you don’t want it to end you’ll have to switch to the books.

Easy. First one way. Then the other way.

Maybe this is where all the 51st state talk is coming from. If Canada joins the USA then he’ll suddenly be eligible to officially become president.

Without the USA I’m not sure what we can do at the moment.

And the protocol was hacked to financially ruin the count of Montecristo’s enemy.
