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.

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.

[–] veroxii@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] veroxii@aussie.zone 2 points 3 days ago

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.

Da fuq? Russia started this. Russia should pay. Take their money from escrow.

Yeah. Because in Australia they take swimming and water safety very seriously. I don't think I know a single person who can't swim at least a little.

 
 

Santos going very much against the vibe of the constitution.
