Search Results: how to get him to stay

Hear me out. While it's true the U. S. has the strongest arsenal, I think STRATIGECALLY, the RUSSIANS are best.

Hear me out. The Americans lost Vietnam. They lost the Cuban revolution. In the Iraq War, they recaptured 5 cities from Al-Qaida only to lose them again. They lost Afghanistan embarassingly. In Syria, they were getting their asses kicked for years. Every Arab country they intervened in is worse off. They won the Iraq-Kuwait war, but didn't finish off Sadam right there and then, which ultimately lead to the second Iraq War, which was a disaster.

While the Russians on the other hand, were mostly responsable for defeating Germany in WWII. Russia was able to regain control of Chechnya and keep the other "breakaway regions" In Syria, they held off the opposition for YEARS and Assad stayed in power longer then any other leader in the region! They annexed Abkhazia and South Ossetia and the Georgians don't even dare attempt to try to take them back. They took Crimea, and Ukraine hasn't been able to get it back. Zelensky has been getting his ass kicked in Ukraine.

Yes, they lost Afghanistan, but the Russians have historically had better results in their wars then the Americans. So how can people say the US military is the best in the world?

There's usually two main types of ways to do tv shows: serialized where there is a continuous narrative throughout the series that requires you to pay attention week to week to stay caught up.

Then there is episodic where each episode wraps up then and there and doesn't continue on. Or if it does it's usually only 2-4 episodes at most and then the next episode after that starts a new story.

There's pro's and cons to both. serialized allows the characters to go real in depth and develop but if you miss any episodes you might be lost and have to catch up. also if you are not so into the current arc you have to wait until that wraps up before a new begins. so breaking bad, game of thrones etc.

Episodic doesn't require much involvement and you can tune in and out whenever and you won't be lost and if you aren't liking an episode you can simply wait until the next one that vibes with you better. However it usually doesn't allow the characters to grow much. so law and order, really most crime tv shows.

There's some shows that do a bit of both though like Star Trek or maybe the X-files. you got 'stand alone' episodes that wrap up immediately but you have a bigger overarching narrative happening throughout the series that sometimes have episodes dedicated to just that from time to time.

So yeah which do you prefer from your tv shows?
