This conversation reminds me of several I had with my sister decades ago. I'm on the autism spectrum, picky about facts. She's neurotypical, and usually prefers to generalize.
She'd get upset about some injustice, an make a wildly overbroad statement about it. I'd be annoyed and "fix" it. ;)

2/ Russian forces have been launching large strike packages in recent months in the days before and after bilateral and trilateral negotiations but are likely refraining from fully maximizing Russia’s strike capabilities in order to avoid upsetting US President Donald Trump.
