"going anywhere" AKA being instantly vaporized and having the dust of your remains carried around the world by the wind.

To quote my best guy:

The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them.

And people were dumb enough to let them believe that until they had made a huge, huge mess already. I see some of the same shit today, just more domestically.

"going everywhere"

I mean, why limit yourself to just one place when you can visit them all?

Why are you guys talking about nuclear weapons? She's referring to the "dirty bomb" that she dropped in a Nando's bathroom in London 2014

Assuming she survived the nukes the UK immediately sent in response - and then perhaps others sent by other NATO nations for good measure - I imagine she'd have her choice of places to visit in the world, yes.

...Because there'd be a whole lot of new theatres of war open for her to be deployed to as her country faces full scale invasion by the 32 Allied Nations.

Would the allied nations want to imvade the smouldering ruins of Russia though?

Why London? Russia isn't at war with the UK.

Diddlydee@feddit.uk · 16 pts · 1y

Russia loves to posture with their empty threats.

The UK has been publicly supporting Ukraine from early on.

What the helliszat? Yelena's prom picture?

So, I haven't watched this series yet and now I have a question. Did they name the ghoul "Ghoul?" Because in the games any person who is exposed to radiation that has a certain mutation becomes a ghoul instead of just dead, it's more like a mutation than it is a specific person, and on top of that only some retain a shred of their humanity, most becoming feral. Like, famous ghouls include Gob (my favorite), Hancock, Festus, Harold (other favorite), Calamity, etc. Did the show change that?

So far he's just "the ghoul" but there are some pre-war scenes about him before he was a ghoul, and he does have a name there

Ah ok, well that's good. Has he called anyone "smoothskin" yet?
