The technology in Predator isn't window dressing really, it's icing on a cake, because predator is able to defeat the Murican HeroesTM largely because it, so by extension they suggest that the Vietnamese (not having that tech obviously) must had some kind of magic to be able to do it too.
Next they’re going to use Starship Troopers in completely the wrong way as a metaphor for the war in the Ukraine, aren’t they?

So the strikers should just quit instead if they don't like it (it's also super old argument but was laughed away like century ago).
Holy shit how the author can be so smug while being absolute doormat for the worst that porky has to offer is beyond me.
French spelling of his name, he himself used it when writing in French, and that how he was registered when he lived in France and Switzerland. His pseudonym also had French version which he himself used, as read in the second screen: "Lenine" (even though the pic is hilariously wrong).
