WAR! when?

[SCEC]

Here's my take. Bretonia has been at war like, forever now. They were losing against Kusari and are doing worse against Gallia which has been making a move against Liberty in California.
I could see Liberty going against Kusari while Bretonia, after years of war, goes dormant for a time as it is financially ruined. I could see some civil war coming of it. Think of it. When your queen leads you to ruin in two wars, or if any leader does, they won't have a job long. A monarch will have more than some Mollys or Gaians to contend with. Perhaps some defeated serviceman looking for redemption.
Gallia.....they've stretched themselves thin and pull back. They forgot to lock the back door where the Council and Brigands have re-tooled with some help from elements of the Crayter Republic, privateers, Gaians and yes, even the Outcasts.
Rheinland....I'm having a hard time figuring this out. They too lie dormant but become somewhat of a financial powerhouse. They have resources that everyone needs and do well trading, re-building their own depleted war chest. They will, however, have a lot of problems with the Sairs.

Overall, Gallia can't push on forever. They'll overstretch themselves making their supply lines vulnerable....VERY vulnerable. And really, what would anyone gain by them dominating everything? I mean, once you rule everything, what then?
No worries, pew pew fiends, you will all have plenty of opportunities.

I will add some thoughts here. From real history cases and military strategy (especially of modern hybrid warfare) the point of war for Gallia is not to conquer the entire Bretonia, but actually to make it a failed state and incent revolts, separatism and even revolution. In my opinion, exhausted Bretonia leads to bureaucrats becoming corrupted (for the shortage of money), states slowly disintegrates and Gallia takes a few border system to slowly integrade while the rest of Bretonia becomes a nice buffer zone against Liberty with a few client states. This can even lead to eco-revolution led by Gaians, socialist/communist revolution with Coalition undercover agents, authoritarian pro-monarchic revolution of Gallia admirers who want to be friends of Gallia and a strong Crown as well. Mollys can achieve the secession of Dublin, etc. At any rate, Gaul war-machine was built in a few centuries, allowing them to mass-produce warships without conversion and authoritarian state allows Gauls to throw a lot of professional sondiers into the fray. Bretonia, having sustained so many losses, can not in principle hold any longer.

Of course this logic is limited to IRL IR, geopolitics and warfare theory extrapolated into space, yet IR in space can be completely different. Yet I 100% agree the Bretonian stalemate is to be addressed.
(P.S. the Coalition has some ideas to support pro-socialistic movements in Bretonia. Make it first Labourist, than full communism, lol. Well, let the dreams be dreams).
