Liberty-Kusari embargo?

[Ceoran]

I find it really funny how people keep insisting on how this embargo completely closes the Kusari-Liberty trade entirely despite others having told multiple times that it only affects those 3 items. Do you guys really think that it will become true only if you say it often enough? Sorry to tell you, but that's no "nerf it"-topic.

As for Kusari being hit hard by that embargo: How about we take a closer look at the Kusari economy first?
Samura dominates the shipping market by ~70%, the rest is Kishiros.
Why do I point that out?
Samura doesn't export H-Fuel or Plutonium to Liberty. Plutonium would have to be bought from the GMG, which is Kishiros job. Samura may lawfully transport it once within Kusari, but obtaining it from the GMG is odd and even was before the Kurile-thingy. No losses for Samura there.
Most (if not all) of the H-Fuel produced by Samura goes to the KNF. If something else is exported it goes to Rheinland. Again no losses there.
Engine components create indeed losses, but only marginal ones I would say as with the war going on again most of them would be used for Kusaris own ships anyways.
So, 70% of the Kusari market are only slightly affected, now I really can see how that kills the Kusari economy... Yes your sarcasm-detector should find something in the sentence before.
Now, that's exactly why Liberty will have to make the move to ease the situation. Samura doesn't really experience any losses, yet is the more influential party in the Kusari government until the next mod comes out.
Or Liberty could just sit it out without any reaction whatsoever and pretend it "never happened" and start to fuel their ships with synth paste.
I can only ask the corporate liberty traders to put some pressure on their dictators to get the influence they deserve. I guess Kusari can be glad not to have an admin in the government everyone would knuckle under.
