Personal opinion is ghost story gain credibility over time because people wrote about it or talked about and built a legendarium around the place so when you look into it there is substance it’s not just one guy talking about something that happenned to him.

If it’s just the experience of one person and there are no books or stories about the place it’s just less appealing and stimulating for peoples imagination.

Remember in diablo II when you had to drop the item of the floor to trade and people waited for the other one to drop the item first then steal the item? That’s geopolitics in a nutshell lol.

Give USA’s spot to Ukraine. Enjoy.

Just like with any dictator deals are worthless. Putin broke the ceasefire and Trump is breaking trade deals.
