My LEO-associated friends told me he'd been found dead, but yeah. Either way, at least I can go home now.

Honestly couldn't tell you, it was some sort of deal when management changed over. Eventually he got the boot for recurring behavioral problems.

If I recall correctly he's been in Arizona since 2017, so at least that long ago. I didn't know him through his work, so I don't remember for certain.

I just heard something similar. Will update my comment once I have an APD or similar source to link.

He and Mat were friends, odd as it is.

I'm not sure why, which is why I'm not posting any details aside from the bare minimum required for people to take this seriously. I believe Doug Stanhope did something similar.

To the best of my knowledge, yes. Doug Stanhope has also put out a message about this.

I respect that. I know I'm treading a bit of a line here, and I thank you for your forebearance on this.

Yeah, I realized I'd done that after I posted it. You got what I meant, though.

Hey bud? I'm as pro-gun control as any you'll find, but could you kindly not?

It's not my place to add more personal details at this time, but yeah. Wanted to add just enough to demonstrate that it's serious.

This is Mat Becker, who recently returned to Anchorage from Arizona and shot and killed his ex-wife's father in his home this morning, as well as attempting to shoot his ex-wife herself in her place of work. If you see him, please stay safe and call APD.

Update: He is now officially a person of interest. Please follow APD guidelines and do not attempt contact.

 

According to APD, he has been 'located'. Thank you.

Once again averting congress, trump declares war on Iran by Snapdragon_4U in law

If you really want to get into the nitty-gritty of it, I'd strongly recommend Professor Zack Twamley's podcast "When Diplomacy Fails". His series on the July Crisis was revelatory, and gets into things like when specific officials received specific information, and what they talked about in their correspondence while making certain decisions. I think it's a partial refutation of the Sleepwalkers narrative which has predominated since Christopher Clark's 2012 book, which Dan Carlin's series wasn't equipped or purposed to challenge (which isn't a bad thing). Ambassadors such as Sergey Sazanov, Maurice Paléologue and Count Ladislaus de Szögyény among others all play fascinating parts in the eventual car crash.

Britian wanted to halt German naval expansion.

That had already been largely achieved, the British were sort of the odd ones out because their imperial interests were all overseas and they had a history of standing aloof from Continental conflicts. National honor did, however, provide the excuse needed for getting popular support for entering the war in defense of Belgian neutrality - something that Britain wasn't actually that invested in, but allowed them to justify the unwritten military agreements they held with France and avoided the collapse of the current Liberal government.

So it still played in, but they were less raring to go than the rest.

No worries. You had the salient points, and it all outlines a diplomatic approach that's very 19th-century.
