Grandma and Grandpa Duo Together 😎 ChatGPT Image 2+ Seedance 2 Creation in Magnific Editing app - Capcut INTENT: Create a whimsical magical-adventure sequence that begins with playful curiosity and discovery, briefly escalates into supernatural danger when one student is swept into a living paint current, then resolves with a clever emotional rescue and uplifting ending. STYLE: stylized family-feature 3D animation feel, rounded expressive silhouettes, painterly fantasy environments, clean readable forms, magical brushstroke textures, soft cinematic lighting, colorful atmospheric depth, polished animated-film finish. WORLD: a living fantasy painting world where landscapes, oceans, clouds, and structures are made entirely from moving paint strokes and sketch textures. Wet brush marks ripple across the environment, floating pigment drifts through the air, and drawn lines can physically reshape the world in real time. REFERENCES: Use the provided previs storyboard page @[storyboard_image] as the main reference. Do not treat the page as one single image. Treat the panels as sequential shot keyframes and expand them into a coherent short scene with clear continuity. Use the @[character_sheet_image] as characters reference. VISUAL APPROACH: Match the storyboard's spatial variety and emotional pacing. Prioritize readability, screen direction, and continuity of action across beats. Keep visual motion calm and intentional rather than restless. Preserve the playful exploration energy during the beginning, then gradually shift into suspense and urgency once the magical paint current appears. The painted world should constantly feel alive — brushstrokes flowing, paint rippling, sketch lines forming dynamically in space, and environments subtly reshaping themselves organically. CAMERA FLOW: Wide establishing shot inside an art studio as two students discover a glowing magical painting. Tracking exploration shots through colorful painted landscapes and moving brushstroke terrain. 3/4 suspense angle as one student accidentally approaches unstable ocean-like paint strokes. High-angle danger shot as the student slips into a giant flowing paint current and gets swept away. Medium action shot as the second student realizes sketch tools can alter the world itself. Dynamic low-angle rescue sequence as glowing hand-drawn bridges and ramps rapidly appear across the moving paint river. Hero rescue moment as one friend grabs the other moments before disappearing into the massive paint wave. Wide emotional payoff shot as the magical world calms, sunlight returns, and the newly drawn paths remain across the landscape. LIGHTING: Warm magical gallery light at the beginning. Bright fantasy color palettes during exploration. Stormy blue paint turbulence and dramatic contrast during danger. Soft golden painterly sunlight during the ending. MOOD: adventurous, playful, magical, emotional, suspenseful for a brief moment, then uplifting and triumphant. ANIMATION FEEL: Expressive family-animation energy with cinematic staging, strong silhouette readability, emotional body language, smooth environmental transitions, and visually clear storytelling designed for a short-form animated sequence.

THE COACH IS NOT THE CALENDAR. Gautam Gambhir is a dear friend, but my support for him today is not based on friendship. It is based on fairness, experience and cricketing common sense. Indian cricket has developed a dangerous habit: celebrate people when they win, then look for one individual to publicly sacrifice when results turn against us. One difficult run does not suddenly make Gautam a poor coach. It does not erase his achievements, his cricketing intelligence, his leadership or the winning mentality he has brought to every team he has represented. Should his selections and tactics be questioned? Absolutely. That comes with the job. Gautam himself would expect nothing less. But before blaming only the coach, perhaps we should also question the people constructing these punishing schedules. Our players came through an intense IPL season and were immediately pushed into international cricket, different countries, different conditions and back-to-back series—with inadequate time to rest, recover, practise or mentally reset. Players are not machines. Coaches are not magicians. You cannot create exhaustion administratively and then blame the dressing room when performance suffers. India must decide what matters most. The IPL should remain the priority and the centrepiece of the cricketing calendar. ICC tournaments and meaningful Test cricket must be protected. Bilateral series should be selective, competitive and commercially relevant. Meaningless one-day series that add little beyond television inventory should be scrapped. More cricket does not automatically mean better cricket. Gautam must be judged over a full cycle, not condemned after one bad passage. Review the cricketing decisions—but also review the calendar, the travel, the recovery periods and the workload placed upon our players. Stand by the coach. Protect the players. Fix the schedule. Then demand results. I stand firmly with my friend Gautam Gambhir. Lalit Modi Founder, IPL

The recent events surrounding Michael Ma, a Canadian politician who crossed the floor from the Conservative Party to the Liberal Party, have raised significant concerns about the integrity of Canadian democracy and the potential for foreign interference. Ma's participation in the 40th Anniversary Celebration of the Confederation of Toronto Chinese Canadian Organizations (CTCCO), an event marked by overt symbols of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) such as red scarves and the singing of the Chinese national anthem, suggests a troubling alignment with foreign interests that contradicts his role as a Canadian parliamentarian. This event, which took place on November 30, 2025, is not an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern of activities linked to the CCP's United Front Work Department, an entity known for its efforts to influence overseas Chinese communities and, by extension, the politics of host countries. The timing of Ma's defection, reportedly planned a week in advance, coinciding with the release of this video, fuels suspicion that his move was not merely a change of political allegiance but possibly a calculated maneuver influenced by external pressures or incentives. The CTCCO, despite its stated purpose of uniting Chinese Canadians, has been implicated in activities that align with CCP interests, including alleged interference in Canadian elections. Reports from credible sources, such as The Globe and Mail and the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP), have documented how such organizations serve as conduits for foreign influence, often operating in a "grey zone" where their actions are not illegal but become problematic when they involve hidden foreign state involvement or funding. The presence of Ma at this event, therefore, raises questions about whether he was aware of, or complicit in, these activities, and whether his defection was part of a larger strategy to undermine Canadian political processes. Canadians should be deeply suspicious and skeptical of these developments because they threaten the very foundation of democratic integrity. The idea that a politician could be a plant, mole, or spy, sending sensitive information back to the CCP about the inner workings of the Conservative Party, is not merely speculative but is supported by a pattern of behavior and associations that cannot be ignored. The CCP's history of espionage and influence operations, as detailed in various intelligence reports, includes targeting public officials across all levels of government, and the Canadian government has been criticized for being slow to react to these threats. Ma's actions, therefore, must be viewed within this context, where the potential for him to have been an agent of foreign influence, gathering and relaying information, cannot be dismissed lightly. The stench of impropriety is palpable when considering the broader implications of Ma's defection and the Liberal Party's acceptance of him despite these red flags. The Liberal Party's move to within one seat of a majority government through Ma's defection benefits them politically, but it also raises questions about whether they were aware of his background and chose to overlook it for strategic gain. This scenario suggests a disturbing possibility that foreign interference could be manipulating Canadian politics at the highest levels, with politicians potentially acting as unwitting or willing pawns in a game of geopolitical chess. The lack of transparency and the hurried nature of Ma's defection, combined with the video evidence of his participation in a CCP-aligned event, do not add up to a narrative of coincidence but rather one of calculated coordination.

There's been an unfortunate incident in LA with a Uhaul plowing into a crowd of anti-Khameini protestors This man should never have been able to get near the crowd with a uhaul but some info about the situation seem to be - signage on the truck is anti both the shah and the current ayatollah. is this his actual position or is this camouflage to have gotten into the protest to perpetrate an attack? "no Shah, No regime, No Mullah" Mullah is a religious leader so possibly referring to the current leader and not a king like Pahlavi Timeline appears to be - anti-Khameini protestors try to rip signs off his vehicle and are bashing on the windows and eventually his passenger side window is broken - guy in uhaul then stutterstops forward into the crowd, eventually accelerating further, then stuttering again, then full stopping down the road - there is a man surfing on top of the uhaul in the 3rd video, below I have posted another video showing the man on top of the uhaul trying to take the posters off the side, so he is likely part of the anti-Khameini protestors - uhaul driver is taken into custody by police is this a case of police not having the street sufficiently blocked off and so a guy was able to get a uhaul in here? He should not have been able to drive a uhaul this close to a massive protest crowd There are a lot of people saying this is a terrorist attack, it is possible it could be one but I don't think there's enough information to accurately assert that at this time The chronology of events also shows it is possible that the driver was in fear of his life since protestors were banging on the uhaul, windows, and removing signs+ eventually breaking his window Whatever turns out to be the actual case, it is an unfortunate event and as of right now a seeming silver lining is that no deaths have been reported

So, my opinion on what the Antarctic (Antarctica) Anomaly is that it's a type of frequency technology. It must be way more powerful than HAARP, as many have claimed it to be, because we would see these anomalies at other HAARP sites, and we don't, not like this. With that said, and I'm very much trying to avoid letting what I want it to be not play a part here, I think it is a technology that is being used either off the coast of Antarctica itself or Bouvet Island. A third possibility is an area just to the northwest of the island that looks odd. It's possible it is a sonar scan from a ship, but why in that remote location? It looks like an antenna set up or rows of something that is out of place. I also believe that the weather events and fires that have taken place in Africa could possibly have been because of this. Each time we saw the anomaly, it was followed by a destructive weather event in Africa. A weird connection to that is we have been told and warned of a very busy 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. This is in part because of the above-average Atlantic ocean temperatures, which is the fuel to Hurricanes. With all this info, it's possible to see how the Anomaly could be a frequency tech that can manipulate or create weather, And or WARM up the Ocean temps to purposely enhance the Hurricane season and Storm growth. Keep in mind that many of our hurricanes and many of the biggest hurricanes have come from the west coast of Africa and form over the Cape Verde islands before heading towards the Caribbean and the United States. This is all of course speculation, and I'm learning many new things every day, so this idea may morph over time as we learn more. In the end, it is very hard to ignore all these findings. #antarctica #anonaly #AntarcticaAnomaly #BouvetIsland

In a big twist in the death of real estate firm director Ketan Vishal Agrawal, police on Tuesday arrested his fiancée and her lover for allegedly pushing him into a deep gorge off Lohagad Fort in Pune and passing it off as an accident, officials said. While the incident, which occurred on June 18, was initially believed to be a case of an accidental fall at the historic Lohagad Fort, the investigation pointed to a murder conspiracy, they said. Agarwal (26), a resident of Gahunje in Pune district and director of a family-run real estate business, was found dead in a gorge near the fort on June 18. The police had then said Agarwal fell nearly 400 feet into the gorge while taking photographs during a trek with his fiancée and friends amid strong winds at the fort. An accidental death report was registered after his fiancée, Siya Goyal, told the Lonavala rural police that Agarwal had slipped and fallen while the couple was on an outing at the hill fort. Agarwal was scheduled to marry Goyal later this year. It was learned that the families had made elaborate wedding preparations, including booking a palace in Udaipur, Rajasthan, for the ceremony. Superintendent of Police, Pune rural, Sandip Singh Gill, said the circumstances surrounding the death appeared suspicious, which prompted police to investigate the case thoroughly. "Our teams examined multiple angles, including financial disputes and personal relationships. During the probe, police allegedly found that Goyal was in a relationship with another man, identified as Chetan Babulal Chaudhary (22), a resident of Kondhwa in Pune," he said. The investigation showed that Goyal was unwilling to marry Agarwal and considered him an obstacle to her relationship with Chaudhary, the official said. The two allegedly conspired to eliminate Agarwal. As part of the plan, Goyal took him to Lohagad Fort under the pretext of an outing, while Chaudhary was called to the spot later. The duo then allegedly pushed Agarwal off the fort, leading to his death, police said. Based on suspicion, the local crime branch took Chaudhary into custody. During interrogation, it emerged that since Agarwal was becoming an obstacle in Chaudhary's relationship with Goyal, both of them plotted to eliminate her fiancé. Goyal was also arrested based on Chaudhary's interrogation, the police said. "Following a complaint lodged by Ketan's father, Vishal Agarwal, the Lonavala rural police registered a case of murder and criminal conspiracy under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita on Tuesday," Gill said. Further investigation is underway to establish the exact sequence of events, collect forensic evidence and determine if other persons were involved in the alleged conspiracy, police officials said. Lohagad fort is linked to the history of Maratha empire founder Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. It is one of the 12 forts in Maharashtra listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Yunjin, the kind and pure soul she is, was still seen smiling and being friendly after everything this fansite put her through. After claiming to not attend any official event anymore, pastrY_K 9✨ was still seen at the Makestar Fansign in Taipei and even had a 1:1 with YUNJIN & KAZUHA even after several reports were made by fans through the HYBE PORTAL. She was rude to CHAEWON and SAKURA as well as sold polaroids of CHAEWON & EUNCHAE for 4 Million Won on spot - revealing her insincerity as a “fan”. She even dismissed basic rules at the event; her number for the photographing section was #40 but sat at #36 instead & constantly changed her seat - making this a very frustrating and uncomfortable experience for other FEARNOTs. We tried handling this in private but SOURCE MUSIC seems to take NO ACTION even after we have mass reported her disgusting behavior - from emotionally blackmailing & harassing YUNJIN through a fancall, stalking SAKURA to the restroom to give CHAEWON a letter (she admitted this on her WeChat) to even wishing death on SHINEZ for not receiving enough interactions. This behavior is abnormal and SHOULD NOT be near the girls nor any artists. She is showing severe signs of a mental disorder and sick parasocialism. This person is a pathological liar and needs to be blacklisted from LE SSERAFIM. They have shown no serious remorse about their behavior and still attended events after they were exposed for the fancall and claimed to refrain themselves from official events. They were seen at the encore concert for both days - disguising themselves as an EUNCHAE fan with a sign until the concert started, cutting their hair and putting on a mask to prevent people from recognizing them - described by an anonymous source: “This individual attended both days and deliberately positioned herself in L section, first row directly in front of the sub-stage, facing Yunjin at extremely close range. Throughout the performance, she removed her mask and maintained an intense, fixed stare toward Yunjin for an extended period. The behavior was visibly horrible, unsettling, and created an atmosphere of intimidation rather than normal fan support.” — which clearly shows an unhealthy, obsessive behavior towards her. .SOURCEMUSIC We urge you to take immediate actions against pastrY_K 9✨ (C**N YU***G, born 2000) & ban her from all future LE SSERAFIM events to ensure the safety of your artists. They are a serious threat to them and create an unsafe & harmful environment for your artists. I had no intention to expose their face but if this is necessary to make more FEARNOTs aware of who she is at future events - please be aware she keeps changing her appearance and has a tattoo of a snake & swan on her arm.

Made with Seednace 2 prompt: Idol dressing room at an MV filming studio, midday. In a brief lull while preparing for a fan meeting, a female idol @ image is left alone, filming a behind-the-scenes vlog on her own phone. Bright, bubbly idol energy — genuine smiles, playful expressions, eye contact with the lens, small laughs. Handheld from start to finish, quick and lively, alternating between selfie and mirrorless shots, capturing small moments of the prep process. Eight short cuts flow together, bouncy, within one continuous space and time. Each cut follows the rhythm of a vlog: greeting → introducing the gift bags → putting on a hairpin → detail insert → practicing fan-service poses → a member's voice on a phone call → laughing → excitedly exiting at a staff call. A light ending: excitement as she heads off to meet her fans. Characters CHASE — a Korean idol in her 20s. Long straight black hair (past her chest), elegant yet lovely Korean features, dewy glass skin, coral pink lips, big eyes. Slim yet curvy proportions at 33C-26-34. Wearing a light pink slip dress (thin shoulder straps, V-neckline, shirred waist). Pearl-silver drop earrings. The bright, bubbly star of the vlog, filming herself facing the lens. Storyboard Fan Meeting Prep Vlog (midday, indoors, handheld) The idol dressing room at an MV filming studio. On camera left, a small table stacked with gift bags sent by fans, behind it a rolling garment rack with covered costumes, on the right her phone and hair accessories on a vanity. Above, a door leading to a bright studio hallway. She's alone, hair and makeup done, preparing for the fan meeting while filming a vlog on her phone. Quick, cheerful handheld. (Cut 1 · ~2 sec · front-facing selfie, arm's length) She leans in close to the lens with a bright smile and a quick hand-heart. CHASE: "Morning, everyone — getting ready for the fan meeting!" (Cut 2 · ~2 sec · quick whip pan, handheld POV) Phone swings from the table of gift bags → to the garment rack → to the vanity, then snaps back to her face. CHASE (off-screen, playful): "These are all gifts from you guys!" (Cut 3 · ~2 sec · medium handheld, in front of the vanity) She picks up a ribbon-shaped hairpin from the vanity and clips it into her fringe, tilting her head as she checks the mirror. CHASE: "What do you think, cute?" (Cut 4 · ~1.5 sec · macro insert, tight close-up, shallow depth of field) Detail shot: fingers adjusting the hairpin's position, the pearl-silver earrings swaying in the light. No dialogue — just the soft rustle of fabric. (Cut 5 · ~2 sec · medium handheld, phone tracking her) She practices fan-service poses, making finger hearts at a few different angles, laughing at herself. CHASE: "I think this angle works!" (Cut 6 · ~2 sec · snappy cut, close handheld on the sofa) She sits on the sofa, her phone rings, she answers on speaker, and bursts out laughing at a member's voice. CHASE (laughing): "Hey, I was literally filming right now!" (Cut 7 · ~1.5 sec · quick punch-in, tight selfie) Still on the call, she shoots a playful side-eye at the lens and pouts. CHASE: "Why is she like this—" (Cut 8 · ~2 sec · arm's-length selfie finish) An off-screen staff knock — her eyes widen with excitement. A quick wave, a big wink with both hands making heart shapes, then she jumps out of frame — the camera lingers on the vanity for half a beat. CHASE (shouting as she jumps up): "Off to meet my fans — bye~!"

When people ask me why I don't deal with alotta people..I bring up situations like this.. I hosted a live event with 4 (Dalvin Cook) last year to give FSU fans something dope after a rough season I let the Jax Seminoles club be a part of it (even though I didn't need them to make it happen)..could've gotten 4 on my show regardless, I just like showing love That being said, my goal is to do more live events where I get to celebrate FSU legends, and alum..highlighting their careers, businesses, etc..of course I'll do events that aren't related to FSU as well During the process one of the people involved on the process tried to backdoor me for some 💰(ahh silly rabbit) It was dumb to me, because it wasn't a crazy amount of money, and it wasn't worth messing up a relationship..folks be thirsty tho..and I'm big on principle You ain't gonna eat off of me (especially in a situation when I don't need you and I'm looking out) and then try to finess too lol.. I was sent this video of them taking all the credit for the event that wouldn't have happened without Trials To Triumph, and they tried to zoom in and crop me out of the video lol People will move dirty then play victim and be mad at you for calling them out on it lol..I wasn't the only one upset..my sponsors were upset, and didn't wanna do business with the person from the club anymore I'm sure that this is not a reflection of everybody involved with the club..not a smart way to treat alum though This is also a good lesson for someone else who may be going through situations where people try to play with you, lie on your name, or steal from you..sitting there and be quiet will only make the issue worse in the long run..use your voice and speak up, otherwise you're responsible for the other people later down the line that end up with the same experience that could've been avoided if they were made aware early on That being said, while folks were trying to finesse, we were locking in deals with national brands, and will be hosting a lot more events this year..I definitely wanna put something special together in the spring and before the season for FSU fans Full episode with Dalvin Cook is on YouTube, and we have a Huge episode dropping with Derrick Brooks tomorrow as well‼️ Stay 💯

🚨HAPPENING NOW: Leftwing agitators are swarming the University of Memphis ahead of tonight's campus event with Kyle Rittenhouse, chanting "Lock his a** up" and later "F*** his a** up." The school has gone to incredible lengths to hamstring this event, including: 1 - Forcing us to change our ticketing system the day of the event. The university's excuse is they want to ensure "fair and equitable" ticketing. This means the hundreds of students who thought they had tickets will not get in. This has never happened at one of our events. 2 - Protester groups were somehow tipped off about the school's new ticketing system and the timing of when they'd be made available, allowing them to reserve large numbers of tickets to stage a walk out. We know this because our students are also in those group chats and alerted us. This also has never happened before. 3 - We had thousands of people register for tickets to this event, but the school would only give us a venue with 330 seat. No overflow. No larger venue. 4 - Our chapter president has been doxxed with his number and address published on social media. The campus police and school administrator shrugged their shoulders. 5 - The administration has said they cannot step in or ask protesters to leave if they attempt to disrupt the event or shout down Kyle. 6 - The school has allowed into the event the student that doxxed our chapter president, knowing this person was responsible for the doxxing. 7 - The protestors have entered the event and are taping the names of the people involved in Kyle Rittenhouse’s legal defense. The school is not stopping them. This is what happens when school administrators pander to petulant children. You get chaos. Our brave students will press forward but this is unacceptable, especially in a Tennessee. Memphis had record homicides last year, but apparently our students and Kyle Rittenhouse are the problem for the University of Memphis. Julio Rosas FRONTLINES TPUSA Turning Point USA

A Canadian’s Disappointment: What I Actually Saw on the Ground in Xinjiang vs. What Ottawa Claims As a Canadian, I have always taken pride in my country’s commitment to human rights, due diligence, and evidence-based foreign policy. We are a nation that prides itself on “peacekeeping,” not warmongering; on diplomacy, not hyperbole. That is why I find myself profoundly disappointed—not just as a Canadian, but as a citizen of a country that claims to value truth—when I listen to the Parliamentary Questions coming out of Ottawa regarding Xinjiang. The language used in is alarming. Terms like "concentration camps" are thrown around with a casual certainty that bears no resemblance to the reality I have witnessed with my own eyes. Having made three trips to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the last nine months, I have seen a reality that is diametrically opposed to the narrative being pushed by our Members of Parliament. I am not a journalist embedded with a government delegation; I am a Canadian who traveled independently. I went expecting to verify the headlines we see in Canadian media. Instead, what I found was a region vibrant with culture, actively preserved and proudly showcased. Here is what I observed on the ground, and why I believe Ottawa’s rhetoric is not only wrong but dangerously disconnected from the facts. The Cultural Reality I Witnessed During my three trips, I spent time in Kashgar, Urumqi, Tashkurgan and the surrounding areas. The narrative I was sold in Canada was one of cultural erasure. The reality I experienced was the exact opposite. 1. The Old City of Kashgar One of the most striking examples of cultural preservation is the Old City of Kashgar. Canadian politicians describe a region being "flattened" or "assimilated." Yet, I walked through the labyrinthine alleyways of this ancient Uygur city, which has been meticulously preserved as a historical site. The local government didn’t tear it down; they invested in upgrading the infrastructure, running water, natural gas lines, and earthquake proofing, while maintaining the traditional Uygur architecture, wooden pillars, and intricate brickwork. In the evenings, I watched in the alleyways while children ran through streets paved with traditional kuzi bricks. This wasn’t a ghost town; it was a living, breathing historical center. 2. The Grand Bazaar and Livelihoods The Id Kah Bazaar in Kashgar is not only open; it is thriving. I saw Uygur artisans selling hand-engraved copperware, traditional atlas silk, and locally grown dried fruits. Far from being forced into labor, I spoke with shop owners who explained that tourism encouraged by the government’s infrastructure investments had allowed them to expand their family businesses. If the goal were cultural genocide, as some Canadian MPs allege, why would the state invest billions into preserving the mihrabs in mosques, restoring the Id Kah Mosque (one of the largest in China), and promoting Uygur cuisine and music festivals? It simply doesn’t add up. 3. Videos from the Ground I am sharing some videos in my posts to show the reality. In one clip, you can see Uygur dance another a traditional wedding I went too. The Disconnect in Ottawa As a Canadian, this embarrasses me. We claim to be a nation that stands for truth and reconciliation. Yet, when given the opportunity to send independent observers or journalists to verify facts, our government often chooses to boycott or criticize the very invitation for transparency. If our Parliament is going to make accusations as severe as "genocide" and "concentration camps," the onus is on them to provide evidence. My three trips over the last nine months provided evidence of the opposite: a region where Uygur culture is not only preserved but celebrated, and where the so-called "camps" are actually vocational training centres, facilities I drove by I that looked into them focused on giving people skills in Mandarin and industrial skills. #Xinjiang

Why is the national guard handing out coffee and donuts? The ret*rds among the Amerimutt right don't understand why the National Guard of Minnesota are giving out donuts and coffee to the locals in Minneapolis. They're too inexperienced to understand basic COIN principles. You must win over the locals. You have to meet with them, create every opportunity to connect. Make them like you and do it in a genuine, and human way. Once you do that 90% of your operations are basically done. This is how the US gets to stay in extremely dangerous places around the world, and the unit responsible for it is CAPOC. It's manned by extremely charismatic and intelligent officers. Every event and encounter is accounted for, studied and eventually every loss is turned into a win. In Vietnam era terminology it's called winning hearts and minds. The majority of humans, by their core nature, are unwilling to attack a friendly face. Furthermore, when they connect with someone, genuinely, they are unlikely to betray them most of the time. Stack these events and the likelihood of immersion with the locals becomes high. Then you facilitate your strategic objectives, without any interference from the locals, because they're already on your side. What you don't do is a road-side execution, fit for a terror organisation. This doesn't just lose you the locals but creates an environment where people around the world want to actively see you harmed, or lose. Every local you kill has hundreds of friends and potentially thousands of associations. Do this enough times and the entire city will want to hunt you down. So, while the e-right laugh at the competent national guard, they're busy winning, one hot coffee, one donut, one hand shake and one conversation at a time.
