Good day,
Our Church in August is having a new to us series of LGBTQ+ events, both open to the public but mostly open to the Church. One of the earliest events is 'How to become an ally'. To be honest as a hetero male in his mid 60's, I don't know what that means. I will go with an open mind and most importantly an open heart, but I do have some trepidation on just what this all will mean as our Church (mainstream Protestant) begins this anew.
I'm a reader, so if there are any book recommendations, blog posts, commentaries on the subject, they would be welcome also.
Thank you for your time.

Hi all, is anyone else having issues with a stage 11-7 Hard? I can't Perfect the stage no matter what I do and I don't think its a score issue. I get 690k points which is more than enough to pass any other stage, including those above it.
My entire outfit is using the correct attributes as well as the tag. My ally is an SSR. The score meter always stops right before Perfect and gives me Great. This is driving me crazy, at this point I'm worried it may be a glitch somehow, that or there's a particular item I'm wearing that is blocking Perfect, or something specific I'm supposed to wear that isn't stated. I've changed my outfit several times and used different Allies, but it was no help
If anyone has Perfected this stage, can you tell me what you wore?

I was recently watching some old Stargate SG-1 episodes, like early season stuff, and I got to thinking. What if the Nexus has already run into a mana-less or low-mana civilization that's Type 2 or even Type 3, but has successfully used their tech to pass themselves off as a backwater not worth consideration?
They could be like the Nox, staying hidden and only revealing themselves to gently chastise the folly of 'the young'. Or they could be like the Tollans, keeping the Nexians at arm's length because they don't trust 'primitives' with advanced tech.
It could make for an interesting 'summer internship quest' for Emma. Chiska drops the peer group off at the backwater realm to help deal with 'monster trouble' or something like that, and they treat it like any other quest duty. Until Emma's suit's sensor suite starts detecting signs of advanced tech popping up where it definitely shouldn't be.
From there, you could go in several directions. Maybe the xenos are super-stoked that somebody even close to their tech level showed up, privately contact Emma on her comms, and have maybe the most important diplomatic exchange in Human history, all while the rest of the gang are none the wiser. Keeping the communication secret would be important, as the 'summer internship' groups probably have a Nexian supervisor assigned to them, probably an Apprentice or other Imperial stooge.
Or they could panic and arrange for Emma to be abducted and interrogated. You could have a dual POV setup here, one from Emma's side as she argues her case with the xenos, and another from the rest of the group as they try to figure out what's going on and prevent their Imperial loyalist supervisor from doing something dumb.
Or they panic in a different way and just clam up, cloaking everything and avoiding contact. Emma then spends most of her downtime trying to make contact, convince the xenos that Earth is friendly and could use an ally, or force the xenos' hand somehow by intentionally botching the quest.
Just an idea that I thought would make for an interesting side story. Hell, you could probably make a series of vignettes about the xenos thwarting various schemes attempted by the Nexus.

Scene 1: The Invasion

• The scene is set in a dark and abandoned Fazbear's Pizzeria. Redbear is sitting on a throne made of animatronic parts, surrounded by his loyal minions. He is holding a remote control that can activate the Fazbear's Curse on any animatronic he chooses.
  
• Suddenly, the lights go out and a loud explosion is heard outside. Redbear looks alarmed and orders his minions to check it out.
  
• The camera cuts to outside, where Commander Black and his Replicants have arrived in a large airship. They are armed with various weapons and magic spells. Commander Black gives a speech to his troops, telling them that this is their final target before they conquer the TF2 Freak World. He orders them to attack and destroy everything in their way.
  
• The Replicants charge towards the pizzeria, firing their guns and casting their spells. Redbear's animatronics try to fight back, but they are quickly overwhelmed by the superior numbers and firepower of the invaders.
  
• Commander Black flies over the battlefield, looking for Redbear. He spots him on the roof of the pizzeria, holding his remote control. He decides to confront him personally and flies towards him.
  

Scene 2: The Showdown

• Redbear sees Commander Black approaching and prepares to defend himself. He presses a button on his remote control, activating the Fazbear's Curse on several animatronics nearby. They glow red and become possessed by Redbear's will.
  
• Commander Black lands on the roof and faces Redbear. He taunts him, saying that he is a pathetic excuse for a leader and that his curse is useless against him. He challenges him to a one-on-one fight.
  
• Redbear accepts the challenge, but says that he will not fight fair. He commands his cursed animatronics to attack Commander Black from behind.
  
• Commander Black turns around and blasts the animatronics with his dark magic, destroying them in seconds. He then turns back to Redbear and says that he is wasting his time.
  
• Redbear gets angry and summons more animatronics to help him. He also activates his own enhanced abilities, increasing his strength and speed.
  
• Commander Black laughs and says that he is not impressed. He also activates his own enhanced abilities, increasing his power and durability.
  
• The two enemies charge at each other, ready to clash.
  

Scene 3: The Finale

• The scene shows a series of fast-paced shots of Commander Black and Redbear fighting each other. They exchange punches, kicks, slashes, blasts, and insults. They also dodge, block, parry, and counter each other's moves.
  
• The fight is evenly matched, with neither side gaining an edge over the other. They both inflict damage on each other, but they also heal quickly from their wounds.
  
• The fight moves from the roof to the inside of the pizzeria, where they continue to battle among the debris and corpses of their fallen allies.
  
• The fight reaches its climax when they both unleash their ultimate attacks at the same time. Commander Black fires a massive beam of dark magic from his hands, while Redbear fires a massive beam of red energy from his eyes.
  
• The two beams collide in mid-air, creating a huge explosion that shakes the entire building.
  
• The camera cuts to black as the sound of the explosion fades away.
  

Scene 4: The Aftermath

• The scene shows the aftermath of the fight. The pizzeria is completely destroyed, with only rubble and smoke remaining. There are no signs of life or movement.
  
• The camera zooms in on a pile of debris, where a hand emerges from underneath. It belongs to Commander Black, who has survived the blast.
  
• He crawls out of the rubble, coughing and bleeding. He looks around and sees no trace of Redbear or his animatronics. He assumes that he has killed them all.
  
• He smiles triumphantly and raises his fist in the air. He declares that he has won and that he is the ruler of the TF2 Freak World.
  
• He then falls unconscious on the ground, exhausted from the fight.
  
• The camera pans up to the sky, where a red glow can be seen in the distance. It belongs to Redbear's remote control, which has survived the blast as well.
  
• The remote control beeps and flashes, indicating that it has detected another animatronic nearby. It activates the Fazbear's Curse on it, turning it into Redbear's new host body.
  
• The camera cuts to the animatronic, which is revealed to be Springtrap. He opens his eyes, which glow red. He smiles wickedly and says that he is not done yet.
  
• He then laughs maniacally as the screen fades to black.
  
• The end.

TW: Purity culture, SA, drugs
Did anyone else read the books by Melody Carlson? I know I read the Caitlin books but I owned and devoured a Chloe ones.
I've pushed them from my mind but in therapy lately I've been working through my deconstruction. I was all alone in my process, long before I knew there were communities. So now I've been talking through my beliefs and worldview, and trying to process how I learned concepts and how that affected me later in life.
I know I read each of those books multiple times. I remember Laura stole Allie's Ritalin as an upper and broke down on stage. I remember Chloe's little brother having sex, getting married, then getting the marriage annulled because they hadn't consummated the marriage. I remember Chloe at 17 making out backstage with the 21 year old from the other band and how guilty and awful she felt about it. I remember Caitlin and Josh kissed dating goodbye.
Purity culture has been a bitch to deconstruct intentionally, a decade after walking away. Realizing how guilty I felt about my own SA because I deserved it according to twenty years of teaching.
I'm mostly thinking out loud. But I'm wondering if anyone else has processed through these books?

I have the Steamdeck and really love the form factor.I am currently thinking if I should go for the rog ally which is 30-40% faster and powerful or should I get myself a gaming desktop as base???
Those who own a steamdeck,would you be getting rog ally,why or why not?

Check out part 1 for context
The Tonpa Kingdoms Part 1 (Overview and The Gods) : worldbuilding (reddit.com)
There are 5 connected Kingdoms that have Tonpa as their main religion these are.
Jangshun
A Place of snow-capped Mountains and green Valleys, said to be built upon the ruins of the ancient Jungar people who controlled much of the area of Jangshun and the nearby kingdoms of Monyul and Taishigang.
Very little is known about the Jungar, their ruins are scattered throughout the landscape of Jangshun, and are often characterized by simple stone structures, pottery shards, and other artifacts. Based on these remains, it is believed that the Jungar were a relatively simple society, with a lifestyle that revolved around farming, herding, and other basic activities.
Despite their lack of sophistication, the Jugar are an important part of the history and culture of the region many myths and legends have grown up around them, the people of Jangshun often see the Jungar as a symbol of the enduring spirit of the region, and take pride in the fact that they were able to survive and thrive in a harsh and unforgiving environment. In addition to their physical remains, the Jungar have left a lasting impact on the people of Jangshun in other ways. Their language, customs, and traditions are thought to have influenced the culture of the later kingdom, and many people still feel a strong connection to the Jagun and their way of life.
The Capital of Jangshun is called Druktse, founded by Dragon Priests and the legendary Namgyal dynasty the city is known for its unique architecture, with buildings made of wood and stone, intricately carved and painted with colorful designs and motifs, the streets are narrow and winding, with prayer flags fluttering in the breeze and the sound of temple bells ringing in the air.
At the center of the city is the Royal Palace of Jigme Wangchuk, a majestic building that serves as the residence of the Royal Family, the palace consists of several wings and halls, each with its own specific function. The main hall is the center of political and ceremonial activities, where the king held court and received important guests. The royal family's private quarters were located in a separate wing, with opulent living spaces and lavish decorations.
One of the most impressive features of the palace is the Eagle Tower, a tall structure that houses the elite Eagle Guards, who were responsible for the king's security the tower is covered from top to bottom with intricate carvings of the bird of prey.
The palace is surrounded by lush gardens and fountains, and it is guarded by soldiers in traditional Eagle attire, the Eagle Guards of the palace of Jingme Wangchuk are an elite group of soldiers tasked with protecting the king and the royal family, known for their fearsome reputation and exceptional combat skills, the Eagle Guards are considered one of the most prestigious units in the Jangshun army.
The guards are named after the majestic eagles that inhabit the mountainous regions of Jangshun, and they were trained to emulate the hunting tactics of these birds of prey. They are adept at using the terrain to their advantage, and are particularly skilled at scaling steep cliffs and mountainous terrain to surprise and overwhelm their enemies. In addition to their exceptional combat skills, the Eagle Guards were also known for their loyalty and dedication to the royal family. They undergo rigorous training and were selected based on their physical prowess, intelligence, and character, to become an Eagle Guard, applicants must be graduates of both the School of the Father and School of the Dragon.
The Eagle Guards are outfitted in distinctive uniforms that featured a stylized eagle emblem, and they were armed with a variety of weapons, including bows, spears, and swords. They were also known to use eagle feathers and talons in their armor and equipment, as a nod to the unit's namesake.
Druktse is a hub of cultural and religious activities, with several monasteries and temples located throughout the city.
The most famous of these is the Tashicho Dzong, a stunning fortress monastery that serves as the seat of The Gyelpa (The Duke) the secondary ruler of Druktse and the center of Druk-Ta worship. The dzong is surrounded by high walls and towers, and is accessible through a grand gate that is guarded by soldiers. The interior of the dzong is a maze of courtyards, chapels, and offices, all connected by narrow passageways and staircases.
One of the most impressive features of Tashicho Dzong is its towering central fortress and monastery, which rises above the rest of the complex and can be seen from miles around. This fortress is home to the Dragon Priests and is one of the most important structures in Jangshun. The fortress monastery is also famous for its beautiful architecture and intricate artwork. The walls of the courtyards are adorned with colorful murals and paintings, while the chapels are filled with statues and other religious artifacts. Visitors to Tashicho Dzong can tour the complex and learn about Jangshun history and culture, as well as observe the daily routines of the monks who live and work there. The Monastery is open to the public during certain hours of the day, and visitors are advised to dress modestly and remove their shoes before entering the chapels. Even though the current royal family of Jangshun are connected to The Father, The Dragon holds a special place in Druktse.
The people of Druktse are known for their warm hospitality and their strong sense of community. They celebrate several festivals throughout the year, including the annual Tshechu festival, the 3 Gods Festival which features colorful dances and rituals performed by monks and laypeople.
To the north-east of the Kingdom lies the second biggest city in Jangshun, the city of Lhagyal, often called “The Fire-proof City”
Lhagyal is a mass of stone walls and buildings with precious little wood being used at all, the walls of the city are imposingly high and even the central palace is relatively flat and does not rise above the walls, there are 4 gates made of pure steel and those are the only entrances and exits.
Inside the city walls, the streets are narrow and winding, with tall, tightly packed buildings constructed from rough-hewn stone. The architecture is distinct, with flat roofs and ornate metal doors decorating the doorways and windows, many of the buildings are built into the city's walls, their backs resting against the ancient stones.
There is more to the city than what meets the eye. Beneath the streets lie a labyrinth of tunnels and catacombs, built for both practical and spiritual purposes. Some are used for storage or as escape routes, while others are filled with ancient artifacts and sacred relics. The catacombs are also home to a complex network of underground temples and shrines and busy streets that are home to underground residences and businesses.
Despite its rugged appearance, the city's architecture is a testament to its resilience. It has withstood numerous attempts at invasion over the centuries, including attacks by powerful enemies armed with the latest in siege weaponry. The city's fortifications are a marvel of engineering, designed to withstand even the most devastating attacks and yet, for all its defensive prowess, the city has never lost sight of its cultural heritage.
The most famous instance of this was when the neighbouring Confucian Kingdom of Jinyun attempted to invade Jangshun with its impressive military might, scores of loyal foot-soldiers hardened by decades of conflict and advanced siege technology that included weapons that used fireworks.
The city withstood months of warfare with Lhagyal earning its nickname of “The Fire-proof City” The stone structures withstood the fireworks and the hard rock of the walls withstood the Jinyun catapults, outside the city several guerilla efforts by the Eagle Guards, The Company of the Hand and The White Tigers from Monyul lending their support repelled attempted on-foot invasions by the hardened Jinyun soldiers.
In the south-west of Jangshun, near the borders of Monyul and Taishigang lies the town of Gyalpeling, a place revered by monks and pilgrims alike. Gyalpeling, meaning "Abode of the Victorious" is a small yet vibrant town located in a remote corner of the kingdom. Its strategic location, surrounded by imposing mountains and blessed with fertile lands, has made it a crucial hub for spiritual activities and monastic life. The town is centered around a grand monastery, which serves as the heart and soul of the community. The monastery, known as Samtenling Monastery, is a majestic complex of ornate buildings adorned with colorful murals, fluttering prayer flags, and the sound of chanting monks echoing through the air. It is a revered place of worship and learning, drawing scholars, practitioners, and seekers of wisdom from far and wide. The streets of Gyalpeling are lined with modest housing for monks, adorned with intricate woodcarvings and colorful paintings. The locals, known for their warm hospitality and deep reverence for Tonpa, every activity the townspeople engage in helps the monastery in some way, whether trading, farming or craftsmanship, every resident of Gyalpeling helps out the monastery in some way. The town also boasts natural hot springs, believed to have healing properties, which attract pilgrims and visitors seeking solace and rejuvenation. The pristine rivers and lakes surrounding Gyalpeling add to its enchanting beauty, serving as places for meditation, ritual ablutions, and scenic walks. Gyalpeling is not only a place of spiritual significance, but it also serves as a center of learning, with numerous scriptoria, libraries, and meditation caves where monks engage in intensive study, contemplation, and meditation, prospective monks come from all over the 5 Kingdoms to study in Gyalpeling, as monks educated within its walls are valued in any court of the Tonpa Kingdoms.
One of the most valuable cities in Jangshun isn't far from the capital, a short 1 hour horse ride east of Druktse stands the city of Jangtse, a jewel in the crown of the kingdom. Jangtse, meaning "Silver Peak" in the local tongue, owes its fame and prosperity to the rich veins of silver that run through the nearby mountains, making it a thriving center for mining and trade. At the heart of Jangtse rises a magnificent conical palace, known as Jang Potrang, or the "Silver Palace." The palace, glistening like a beacon atop the tallest hill in the city, is adorned with silver-plated roofs, walls, and pillars, reflecting the sunlight and casting a mesmerizing glow over the surrounding landscape. It serves as the royal residence, where the Count holds court and conducts affairs pertaining to the area between Jangtse and Druktse. The streets of Jangtse are lined with buildings that boast silver-plated facades, creating a surreal and shimmering sight as one walks through the city, often shining gold from reflecting the sunlight, the wealth of the city is evident in the intricate silver filigree work that adorns windows, doors, and rooftops of temples, mansions, and markets alike. The silversmiths of Jangtse are renowned for their craftsmanship, producing exquisite silverware and jewelry that are sought after by collectors and traders from distant lands. The city is a bustling center of commerce, with a vibrant market square where merchants from across the region gather to trade in silver, gemstones, textiles, and other precious goods. The sounds of bartering, laughter, and the clinking of silver coins fill the air.
The Armies of Jangshun are known for their ferocious foot-soldiers, the every-day rank and file soldiers of the Jangshun armies are regarded as the best in the region and are a feared prospect to face on any battlefield.
The soldiers of the army of Jangshun are highly disciplined and skilled in the art of warfare, and are renowned throughout the region for their courage and loyalty. They are trained in a variety of weapons and fighting styles, including archery, swordsmanship, and hand-to-hand combat.
It is said that the success of the army comes from the fact that many men and women who fight in it are from mountainous regions and are conditioned from a young age to move over mountainous land with ease, their armies can easily traverse land that would be impossible for normal armies to travel over, due to the fact that the soldiers know the land.
The army of Jangshun is led by a commander-in-chief, who is appointed by the common foot-soldiers and is responsible for the overall strategy and tactics of the army. Under the commander-in-chief, there are several generals and officers who oversee different units of the army, each with their own specific roles and responsibilities. The soldiers of the army of Jangshun are equipped with a variety of weapons and armor, including shields, helmets, and chainmail. They are also skilled in the use of traditional weapons, such as the da and the gochu, which are types of swords. In addition to their skills in battle, the soldiers of the army of Jangshun are also highly respected for their loyalty and devotion to their ruler and country. They are known for their strong sense of duty and honor, and are willing to lay down their lives in defense of their homeland. The army of Jangshun is often called upon to defend the kingdom against invading forces, and has a long history of successful battles and campaigns. Their reputation for courage and skill has earned them the respect of their neighbors and allies, and they are a source of pride and inspiration for the people of Jangshun.
One of the most famous regiments from Jangshun is the “Wheel of Steel” A heavily armored longsword unit founded by Princess Jamyang Daughter of King Kunga and Sister of King Yangchen of the Yeshe Dynasty after she travelled to Europe and witnessed people fighting in full suits of armor, this was a foreign concept in the areas around her and she implemented the idea with her Father's (And later Brother's) full support they were first deployed in aid of Taishigang who were experiencing an invasion from a nearby Dharmist Kingdom. The longswords cleaved through the invading forces lack of armor and their steel plates deflected blows.
Monyul
Monyul is a land of vast open spaces and stunning natural beauty. The kingdom is home to a proud and fiercely independent people, who have built a rich culture and a strong military tradition, its plains are green and warm during the summer but snow is not uncommon in winter. Dharmaling is the capital city of Monyul and is nestled in the hills, surrounded by winding rivers and vast grasslands. It is a city steeped in tradition and culture, with a rich history that stretches back centuries.
Dharmaling was built as the northern most outpost of the Dharmist Indraprastha Empire but was conquered by Tonpa forces from a tribe that would eventually become known as the Monyul. The city is built around a central marketplace, where merchants from all over the known world come to trade their wares. The marketplace is a bustling hub of activity, filled with the sounds of bargaining and haggling, and the aromas of exotic spices and perfumes.
The Company of the Wind have their main offices in Dharmaling and use the bustling 10 storey wooden building to plan its operations throughout the known world. The streets of Dharmaling are relatively wide due to the constant horse carts that pass through them. The buildings are made of stone and wood, with intricately carved facades and ornate balconies. Many of the houses have flat roofs, which are used as outdoor living spaces during the warmer months. At the heart of the city lies the great monastery of The 3 Gods, unlike in other cities which have separate monasteries for the three Gods, this temple combines them as a display of unity between the three sects. The massive structure dominates the skyline, with its towering walls and intricate carvings. The monastery is home to a community of monks, who dedicate their lives to the study and practice of Tonpa. Surrounding the monastery are the homes of the nobility, who are known for their wealth and power. These grand estates are filled with beautiful gardens and courtyards, and are often adorned with intricate carvings and colorful murals. Outside the city walls, the landscape is dotted with small villages and nomadic encampments. These communities are home to herders and farmers, who make their living tending to the region's yaks and sheep. Despite its remote location, Dharmaling is a city of great importance, both culturally and politically. It is a place of pilgrimage for Monks, Merchants and laypeople from all over the world, and is also a hub of trade and commerce. The people of Dharmaling are proud of their heritage and their way of life, and are fiercely protective of their city and its traditions.
A 30 minute walk to the west of Dharmaling lies the Temple of Tong Thang, the Beehive Temple, as visitors approach the temple, they are greeted by the gentle humming of bees that buzz around the entrance, seemingly inviting them inside, the entrance is adorned with ornate wooden doors intricately carved with depictions of bees in flight, the temple is home to hundreds of bee colonies. The interior of the temple is a marvel of craftsmanship.The walls are adorned with honeycomb patterns carved into the stone, creating a mesmerizing visual display. Soft light filters through small openings in the dome-shaped ceiling, the centerpiece of the temple is a large altar made of honey-colored stone, adorned with intricate carvings of bees and honeycombs, where devotees offer their prayers and offerings. The Temple of Thong Tang is a place of worship dedicated to the reverence of bees and their significance in nature and the cycle of life, every day priests and priestesses of The Mother make their way to the temple to tend to the bees, bringing them water and sliced fruits, every year there is a festival outside the temple where priests and priestesses of Caihong distribute honey gathered from the bees.
Monyul is home to a large lake called Jangchub Tso, the lake is bordered by lush green forests and snow-capped mountains to the south-east, a product of Monyul's border with Taishigang.
On the edge of the lake there is a large city called "Gangri Thang", which is known for its fish markets and skilled boatwrights, nobles from the surrounding Kingdoms often commission boatwrights from Gangri Thang to build grand freshwater barges for them.
Several villages surround the lake, mostly fishing and farming communities, every spring fishermen from these villages make their way to Gangri Thang with hundreds of fish, hoping to hock their catch to fishmongers, tourists and Company of the Wind officers.
The fish they carry is mainly the several species of trout that live in the lake but a few of the lucky ones carry the Golden Mahseer, a gleaming fish variety that is said to be very difficult to catch, although the taste of the fish pales in comparison to the trout, the Golden Mahseer is revered for its scales that give off a vibrant golden glow, these scales are often used in ceremonial dress of the region adoring clothing and jewellery.
The people of Monyul are also skilled artisans, known for their intricate weavings and pottery. The kingdom is home to many workshops and marketplaces, where merchants sell their wares to buyers from all over the region. The people of Monyul are known for their skill at horsemanship, and the kingdom is home to some of the finest cavalry units in the region. The army of Monyul is also composed of archers and spearmen, who are trained in the art of mounted combat and guerrilla warfare.
The most prestigious regiment of Monyul is a cavalry unit called the White Tigers, the horsemasters of the White Tigers are known as the strictest in the Tonpa Kingdoms, if a horse fails a single training drill both the horse and rider are deemed unworthy. The White Tigers main weapon is a thick spear, painted red with a bronze spearhead, it has a heavy counterweight at the back that also doubles as a blunt weapon. Their secondary weapons are a heavy sword and a short bow.

[F25]here, I just want to vent about my relationship with this guy[M25] we have been dating for 3 years, initially we met at Tinder and we met at our first date, he seemed to be a very nice guy, made me feel comfortable, after an abusive relationship this felt really good! We are in long distance relationship and once he fought with me because I told him that him talking with his ex makes me feel uncomfortable. He says his ex es are his allies and they are his good friends, and whenever we fight he complains to one of his ex about me, I have said him multiple times that talking to his and venting makes me feel sad and crosses my boundaries. He never understands and threatens me of breakup, he chooses being friends with his ex over me and calls me insecure. Where I am just trying to fix my boundaries. He denied being initimate with me until we marry! It breaks my heart that I could never be his priority! I have put a lot of effort and it mskes me sad! Anyone has any advice for me? Thanks

”Being there for as long as it takes means that we will have another iteration of support for Ukraine, that won’t be long before we announce that, obviously, we’re in conversation with Ukraine about how we can best contribute, as we are in a conversation with both the UK, the US and other allies about the best kind of contribution we could make. After initial resistance to President Zelensky’s request for used American fighters, US President Joe Biden at the G7 summit in Japan two weeks ago gave the green light to western allies to supply Kyiv with fourth generation fighters such as the Hornets and F-16s (which the RAAF does not operate). It could also be a bad look for Australia if it were not prepared to give up ageing planes at the same time the Americans are preparing to share the crown jewels of their military, nuclear-powered submarines with Australia when the US doesn’t really have them to spare. To prevent the risk of escalation, Australians (and the Americans) could make clear that the Hornets could only fly within Ukrainian airspace, warning if they were used to bomb Russia, the allies would stop maintaining the aircraft, effectively grounding them.

This is my first playthrough and I just finished the tutorial. I was planning to conquer all of Ireland before I really started playing around with the mechanics of the game and really learn how to play it.
I got the southern part but the northern part is really giving me issues.
If it was like Hoi4 where there's an actual front line and buildible divisions this would be easy. But it's literally just me chasing these armies to their ports only for them to naval land in six different places with 8,000 troops out of nowhere (they only had 1200 before wtf?!?)
People are saying that it's their Allies which honestly idk what to do about that.
Does anyone have any tips? I just wanna reunite Ireland so I can learn the game.
