It sounds like the Ecuadorian government, or a select set of decision-makers, are getting money or some other direct tangible benefits, and in return, all that's asked of them is to send back pictures of some blown up infrastructure.

This is one of those shows that's been on my watch list since it's first season, but never gets watched.

Has anyone here actually watched it?

Sounds plausible, but The Washington Post has very little credibility left at this point.

I'd place it two rungs above the Daily Mail.

I'm open to believing this story, but I will wait for independent confirmation from additional sources.

You shouldn't inherently trust any government, especially in times of war.

But Iran has been fairly careful with the accuracy of these type of public declarations during this war.

I'm not saying you should trust everything they say, for example, while I don't trust Trump's reporting on American KIA/WIA, I think their figures are much closer to reality than the Iranian militaries reported enemy losses.

But in this instance, I'm significantly more inclined to believe that Iran's version of events is the most accurate.

Well, now that just sounds like good gosh darn television.

If anyone hasn't watched the first season of Task yet, I highly recommend it.

Wasn't a huge fan of Born Again, but it was clearly a step in the right direction.

I still get enjoyment from most of the old Marvel Netflix projects, and their various sequels and reboots into Disney+ are the only upcoming Disney Marvel properties that I'll even consider watching, much less rousing myself to an extremely mild level of anticipation.

But I will always watch this shit out of John Bernthal's Punisher, and actually look forward to doing so.
