As an Icelander this is hilarious! 🤣 Also the pronounciations were pretty good, he even got the double LL sound correct!

I could imagine if it actually took place. The negotiation technique is extraordinary. Starting with football and then deep dive into volcano. Surgical.

I wish I could understand the language. He is showing his character and the world is noticing. I hope he does great things for his people. Glory to Ukraine!!!!

This show, well, shows, how little cultural internationalization can happen in just one generation. Ukraine came from under the Soviet Union. People working farms, watching state TV, talking about how ridiculous the state TV is, sleeping. We have very well educated and very clever people who are very good at improvising. But this nation needs patience from others. Ukraine is socially western, but culturally very much Asian. We don't have work-life balance. We have the balance of life. Your work directly depends on your personality. How you understand the basic systems of life and how you understand the advanced systems of your specialty. It is never pure logic on a tactical life level and a mix on strategic life decisions level. Ukraine is complex, complex as to be called a giant mess of stuff. And we need to be patient. And we do not need arguments or solutions. We need points and understanding, only then arguments and solutions. You can't just say "Ukrainian" except when talking about art forms and have a good understanding just as with "German" or "French" or any other country that represents being "European". We need understanding for humanity. Not solutions to problems of knowing the "right way" about recent politics.
