- Luc 5y agoI don't think so, nobody's (yet) "attacking prisons with meteorites". "And later out of nowhere they really do drop a meteor and wait for everything to be according to your analysis" But perhaps it's a metaphor rather than a mis-translation.
- quantum_mcts 5y agoYes, it is a metaphor. I know that because I speak Russian and read the original. Indeed, that's a weird metaphor even for a Russian ear.
