Not getting involved.
You cannot go to Kusari's land and start "insuring" some things.
I would disagree there.
I think Liberty is actually in a very precarious situation right now.
They are going to become more and more reliant on Kusari for foreign goods. Bretonia is going to have less and less capacity to manufacture or produce goods for a foreign power - they will have to devote more of their energy sustaining themselves.
What happens when Kusari captures Leeds? They could then start raiding supply lines right into Manchester. What will Liberty do then? Complain? Attack Kusari? By that stage Kusari could just laugh in their face - and pay the Bounty Hunters a billion credits to hold the gates against Libertonian aggression.
Would Kishiro and the GMG complain about being denied access to Liberty? Probably. But Kusari could increase their own demand for fuel, or simply say 'tough, you can still sell to Rheinland so whats the problem?'.
Liberty can fight on two fronts?
Sure they can, just like the Germans.
At least until their fuel reserves run out, just like the Germans...
