Trump, Vance Clash With Zelensky During White House Meeting

So when trump says Ukraine has to make concessions to achieve peace... The first thing that comes to mind is that the allies did the same thing when the Nazis started invading their neighbors in the 1930s. Peace at any cost. It showed that all they had to do was threaten war to get what they wanted. In the end, the cost to stop them was WW2.

My point is that the aggressor must pay a steep cost and still not get what they want.

Anyone else found Mickey 17 embarrassingly bad? (Just watched it)

I don't think it was as bad as you think. Overall it was okay. It felt like things happened the way they did because they had an ending they wanted to reach. I haven't read the book but I probably will since books are almost always better.

My biggest problem is when 17 fell into the hole and was left for dead due to how injured he was. A bit later (maybe an hour max?) after he got pushed out of the hole, he was sprinting and flailing his arms at the truck that brought him back to base.

The acting and special effects were pretty good in my opinion. The directing was bad. The editing could have been much better. I understand that movies strive to be as close to the book as possible but some things just don't work in both and should be removed.
