Concerningly, if the Fed lowers rates in Sept. Trump might interpret that, or frame it, as his threats being a vessel for the change he wants to see, making this kind of thing more and more likely to happen.

Something I’ve noticed with my parents is that Russian propaganda LOVES to target a single highly specific person or agency and overwhelm that informationally so that when discussing it becomes the focus of discussion and it’s easy for the individual to feel like they’re better informed than you are

The biggest issue too is that Trump is the kind of person who’s gonna lash out, and he can’t lash out against Putin…but he can lash out against his allies and Zelensky so I bet we see some more of that bs. How he hasn’t put together that Putin IS NOT NEGOTIATING FROM A PLACE OF STRENGTH beats me.

One of Bethesda’s greatest strengths is event density on the map along with the environmental design and storytelling. Why they didn’t play into that strength baffles me. If you haven’t played Jumpship it has a great system too. You have a destination mission, on the way you get to pick a route
