@@jamesmccarthy6764that’s his character. He was a far left professor. He used the Sons of Jacob to institute a lot of really progressive ideals. Unfortunately, those had to be coupled with extremely far right ideals.
Because it not that simple. First of all, on paper children were too valuable to give away. Gilead wouldn't agree on such proposal. Second, by trading Fred for prisoners of war who also have valuable information about the insides of Gilead would be more beneficial and acceptable. After all the governments and secret services serve their own interests. They put their own interests above June'.
@@KobaLenknot to mention Hannah is under strict surveillance due to June trying to reach out to her on multiple occasions. She can't easily be smuggled out, especially now that June is a famous rebel and a top enemy of Gilead
In real life they wouldn't give up Fred like that. Once he told them everything, his usefullness is expired then they would give him up like an unwanted puppy
@@KobaLenk nah the Americans need to show defectors will be taken care of to push more to turn. In thr book its hinted theirs a purge so showing that theirs a safe path can help pull more defectors
@@TimesFM4532 if you are a commander of Gilead and you see the Americans getting back on their deal that gave Fred immunity, wouldn't that stop you from defecting to their side? Like 'hey they gave up Fred pretty easy and apparantly they are not sticking to deals. What is stopping them from giving up on me as well?' See, then where is the trust or assurance?
Are those troops 🇺🇸 U.S troops or Gilead troops? Edit, I just looked again and the soldiers in black uniforms have Gilead patches, hence they're Gilean troops, while those with US flag patches appears to be US federal agents from the US government in Alaska & Hawaii.
Not that simple. Also if you’re talking about slaves, a black man is counted as 3/5ths of a white man. But no, Fred Waterford is no ordinary white man. He’s a very high ranking member of the therocracy of Gilead. In real life terms, the US government probably would value the Secretary of State more than a Private First Class, even if they’re not really supposed to, and would offer similar terms to get their cabinet member back
“Joseph….don’t be a dick”
I love their friendship lol
"It was worth a shot..."
I love how sarcastic joseph is
I love his character, he‘s so sassy
He's cartoony & unrealistic to me. He created Gilead, which is a brutal totalitarian state, yet he acts like a hippy. It doesn't add up!

June ❤️
Essa trilhar sonora é maravilhosa. 😍
Why wouldn’t she ask for Hannah

Simple. The show would be over lol

I doubt the cia would make that deal, a commander with deep information maybe classified information seems much more useful to bring down Gilad

@@KobaLenk think we are agreeing, the Americans can’t give up Fred if they want more defection.
@@KobaLenkyes exactly that way they keep him.

Ok so we've established worth, now they're haggling over price.
1 White man is worth 1/4 of a Black man.
1 White man is also worth 22 Women.

1:37 he's the main villian but did he do all of this?
Do what?
@@joana5337 attack the capital and created Gilead.
@@orlandojuarez9742 he was one of the main architects but also was Joseph who did the math. Like Nazis some were not involved directly in the planning
@@dv2045 but way did he and Joseph done it?
@@orlandojuarez9742 He's responsible for the Colonies and Gilead's economic system.
