If a mineral rights deal = weapons (or more) for Ukraine then it's worth it. The beauty of such a deal is that the short term benefit goes to Ukraine. The U.S. being able to leverage mineral rights is long term. Easy for Ukraine to enforce - or back out of.

I think calling Trump "Krasnov" from now on is practically perfect. Needs a first name, though. How 'bout Ralph? Ralph Krasnov.

Update: At this point (S5E3) I'm just watching it out of spite. It's just so bad. Like, how are you supposed to feel any empathy for this character? She's an awful person who manages to get all her friends killed.

"Too many transactions taking place too quickly"?? And he's supposed to be some kind of tech genius?

This is so perfectly sensible, because you really *want* all your spies to be white guys named Kent and Brad and Clint, no matter where in the world they may be posted. Godspeed, Kent, Brad and Clint.

I can't wait for "Young James Bond - Agent in Training" and all the other crap that Amazon will carve from the rotting corpse of a once great franchise.

Another performative fucktard. The people who work in NYC cannot, for the most part, "drive to work". There's not enough parking. There aren't enough lanes on the bridges & tunnels to support the traffic. Also the subways aren't "unsafe".

So apparently Sean Duffy has never been to NYC. He certainly doesn't know anything about how transportation works in the NYC area.

Trump never sees the whole board. Trump: We've reached a Ukraine peace deal with Russia! TRUMP IS GREAT! Ukraine: Go fuck yourself. NATO: Also we are saying go fuck yourself. Where's the win?

Given the number of things "Christians" believe can make them gay, you have to wonder if maybe... ya know... they're just all gay.

This is asinine. You can't offload critical infrastructure communications to a LEO satellite network that can fail, in whole or in part, for a wide variety of reasons.
