I really don't care. The sale of arms that are used against your country will almost always elicit some kind of response. No one, not one person has every said, "Taking this other type of action might have been better" no one else has had any ideas except to ignore the fact the Liberty is supplying goods produced with Kusari components to Bretonia to kill Kusari citizens and soldiers. It required a response, we, the leadership of Kusari felt that this was actually a very measured response, and it was intended to end quickly with Liberty promising not to sell weapons and ships to Bretonia. Joe and I tried to negotiate the issue a bit, and I was willing to accept even that Liberty would only sell these things to Bretonia if they weren't used in Leeds. That was unacceptable to them. Somehow it was more important to Liberty to put ships and weapons into Leeds then to maintain their relationship with Kusari.
None of this is my fault, and honestly, I resent the amount of oorp hostility I have been getting over this and the GMG situation. Really, I do the best that I can. I am not an economist, I am not a world leader. I am someone who is trying to enjoy playing a game, where I play the role of a leader, and I try to enjoy thinking about what a real leader would do in my situation. Sometimes I get it right, sometimes I get it wrong, but when I am yelled at for starting this, I get annoyed because I didn't, and when I get yelled at for declaring war on the GMG, I get annoyed, because I didn't, it was the GMG who decided to claim one of Samura's base as their own and start shooting ships going there. I tried to purse the path of peace, but got no results. In both situations, when there isn't someone on the other side who is willing to work things out, there really nothing I can do, and all the negative energy that is coming at me oorp is to say the least annoying.
So, if someone wants to make a suggestion on how to work this out fine, but I wont respond to any more comments oorp about the action that Kusari did take in these situations.
Edit: Just to be clear, that was not directed at Friday.
