  • It’s in the USA’s geopolitical interest to maintain relations with Israel.

    1. It gives them a foothold in the middle east, on the coast of the Mediterranean sea. Egypt and Turkey have too much leverage for the USA to influence them, and the other allies are all past the red sea. Israel is smartening up to the situation and taking advantage.
    2. After the messy withdrawal from Afghanistan, other states saw weakness in the USA and their allies. They need to maintain their current allies to show that they can protect all of their other relations.

    We won’t get any resolution of the situation until after elections are over. If Biden does anything, it may negatively impact the Democrat’s campaign.







  • I’m fairly new to gardening but I would look into propagating them; the rose I know can be grown from a cutting. If you move them into one or move pots you can replant them with the new fence.

    With propagation preserving the root structure doesn’t matter since it’ll grow new roots. If it’s your first time I might try to make 2 or 3 cuttings of varying sizes in case some of them don’t make it. You already have to cut it back anyway.

    Edit: Grandma approved. Spring/Fall has the best chances for the cuttings to take root.







  • I’m around level 35. My playgroup all run shotguns so I typically use the marksman rifle to provide covering fire ( the counter sniper is awful, don’t bother). Light armor every mission; armor rating is bugged but besides that you can out run anything except chargers; just remember to kill hunters and stalkers.

    Expendable Anti Tank every mission. Every minute you can kill a charger or another elite. They can also take out bug nests and bot factories. Just throw them out and let your team use them if they want to. Every minute you have a strategem to drop on someone’s head or into a big hole. I can’t stress enough how great it is to have these.

    Autocannon/Railgun. Auto Cannon can take out nests, factories and eggs. If anyone else decides to help reload you can go full automatic and kill everything. Remember to reload yourself between 1 and 5 shots to get the quick reload. Railgun is mostly to 1-2 shot hulks in the eye. Otherwise it can kill anything if you are alone.

    Then free slots for experimentation. I like the gas for softening groups, all eagle gems are good, and the 380mm barrage for killing my friends. The personal shield is great but I am not a coward.

    The mortors make exterminations a cake walk. I otherwise avoid the turrets since they aggro everything around you and I usually walk around every pack. I may start using them as a distraction though.


  • I play scout in my group so I constantly look at the map to check for patrols. There are times I’ll check a spot for automatons, turn around and back again to see a new pack spawn there behind my back, just standing there menacingly. When you’re in a fight and moving around it very easy to walk into a freshly spawned pack.

    Clearing outposts reduces the pack spawn rates. There are patrols that spawn from there before patrolling around the map, but I think the game spawns them around the players to reduce tracking random mobs on the map.

    We have one or two guys hunting outposts with grenade launchers, so about halfway through a mission we have free reign on the map with little to no patrols and other pack drops.
