Since 1950, no country has matched the U.S. in global military reach or frequency of intervention. From covert coups in Iran (1953) and Guatemala (1954) to long wars in Vietnam and Iraq, backing regime change from Chile to Nicaragua, and post-9/11 campaigns across the Middle East, Washington has repeatedly projected force without broad international authorization.

Also, there is this feeling that all the "interventions" have less to do with "bringing democracy" (as they often claim) and more with destabilizing whole regions in order to prevent strong alliances between partners: South America and the Middle East come to mind. Cheap oil is a big factor as well, of course.
They are also trying to break up the EU by strengthening right-wing parties.And right now there is only chaos.

@mos_8502 and, itch.io assets are a bargain compared to trying to make an LLM produce pixel art that's worth a shit. (Challenge level: Literally impossible. I was curious...they're really bad at pixel art, especially very low resolution pixel art.)

I paid for the right to use them, modify them (which is important because I have to modify them to make them work on C64!), sell them as an integral part of as many games as I want to make, etc.

I didn't use AI to generate the assets in Rowan. I paid for them, fair and square. Itch dot io is full of them. You can have your pick.
