' Wrote:Every famous historical philosopher that has mentioned war has also mentioned gold. You can have men and materials, but without money, a war cannot be conducted. So yes, money is the most important factor to consider, and one which you do not need to as reported losses do not incur your treasury, a government does not really exist and there is no income to encourage one to form anyway.
I agree, but I imagine that your claim that the embargo only affects those items is just a little outlandish (note: British understatement). You embargo a country of similar size, liberal economy and mass privatisation of certain resources, and you get a massive decrease in trade of all goods, not just those you choose to embargo. I think you're deluding yourself if you think that an embargo on certain goods only affects those goods.
Whose output is nowhere near that which is required to fuel a house. Don't claim to be self sufficient in this regard, that claim is as outlandish as your first.
Great. So's Liberty's with Bretonia, without the deployment of vapourous military force to ensure consistent cooperation.
Probably because it never should've happened, and only did because there isn't significant encouragement to view the currency component of an economy with sufficient weight, compared to the moral issues almost always overshadowed by good business practice.
Bear in mind, Liberty has responded to the ridiculousness and unrealistic actions of Kusari with unrealistic actions of its own. Namely, cracking some ice and making H-fuel out of it, converting to Deuterium as a fuel source and finding a lovely planet out in Coronado. It's as unrealistic as the situation you placed Liberty in would be, and an apt reward for a badly thought out set of actions.
Ah yes, the "Liberty can do whatever it wants with no repercussions" argument. Yea, I dont buy it, hence we tried to find some way in rp to hold Liberty responsible for giving Bretonia weapons to kill Kusari. This is what we came up with..... I even think you were part of the discussions. I have still to hear any other good options from anyone except "take it in the rear from Liberty." So, until such time as someone has another suggestion, you can all, as I previously said, go to hell.
