Intergalactic Summit

So if President Roden, on a visit to our Republic was shot, you and most other Gallente would be perfectly fine with the trials taking place entirely within our country?

That's not the same thing at all.

The better comparison would be a former president, Foiritan. As much as I personally disapprove of Foiritan he's still a Federation citizen, and I don't pretend we'd be fine with it if it were the other way around. At minimum, we'd want to be kept informed, and some reassurance that everything was being done to investigate the matter. We would also talk to you, because that's what friends are meant to do at times like this. Talk things out. Not scream threats down the comm.

I don't understand why the Matari, of all people, are having problems understanding why we're not prepared to stand by while a fleet waltzes in through our borders to unilaterally snatch one of our citizens away.

Yes, I'm aware we're talking about a criminal. They're in custody at the moment. As Pilot Lagann has already pointed out - there's always a lot of bluster from the Tribes about respecting their culture and their way of doing things. Now is the Republic's chance to show us the same respect.

A crime has been committed inside the Federation, it should be investigated by our authorities and the perpetrator tried within the Federation.

This is an irrational and reckless move made by the RSS, making a request for the detainee is one matter, a reasonable matter at that, this is simply stupid.


The Minmatar have time and again asked for others to respect their traditions and customs, this is a time where they must return the favour and let the Federal justice system do its job.


On a side note I am glad to see Brigadier General Korachi back in service after the incident at Caldari Prime.

An interesting assessment. It is curious why “they” are so impatient to get their hands on the alleged perpetrator. Even to the point of risking war with those they profess to be allies.

The Minmatar want to be the next empire to send a fleet to invade Luminaire? Some ally...

The Republic flaunting it's fraught incompetence is hardly news.

In a way this is amusing to me. The RSS mimic a petulant, unruly hound, waddling away in dejection after being sprayed by Daddy DED for growling at it's mother Federation.

Ridiculous, convoluted, capricious demon of a republic. Look at what the Minmatar Republic are without it's watchmen. Remember Yulai. I hope that from this, the Federation take a lesson about the nature of their allies. Such an impulsive, warlike nation cannot be allowed to exist without a firm hand at the leash and a diligent board of whistle-blowers. They will not respect your judicial process, Gallenteans, the terrorist state only know one purpose in life, and that is to destroy. They will walk over you like they walked over the Amarrian peace treaty if you allow them the chance.

I beseech my good brothers and sisters; look around you. For those of you who love peace, who strive for our Minmatar ideals, please look around you and realize that the Republic is not a home for you. It is a lying, violent ***** and it will corrupt your hard work, steal the sweat from your brow and with it fuel it's senseless war engine.

Grandstanding is a tool that works, otherwise it wouldn't be used. I wouldn't be surprised if the RSS did this fully expecting to be turned back, just to score some popularity with the home crowd. Sounds cynical, but politics is a big part of the Republic and speaking as an outsider the emotion surrounding the wounding of Karin Midular is impressive. If the Republic hadn't been seen to react then it wouldn't have gone down well with the man on the street.

Your ignorance is unassailable. Make not a pest of yourself; your dim-witted, ill researched personal attack isn't even thinly disguised as a credible counter-argument.

I do not sympathize with the Angels. But this is a fact I've already illustrated to you as thoroughly as I am able to, and in spite of our previous exchanges you persist to hold to your tinted fantasies.

So I suppose that it comes as no surprise then that when confronted with evidence of the Republic's character that you should also ignore this.

Strange creature. It forms it's own opinions with little basis in logic and then holds true to those opinions in the spite of further proofs against their stance.

Nah, I don't remember Halete being all pro-Angel. Their CEO is, or was. Made a retraction statement on the IGS a while back, after the Evaulon incidents.

Of course, capsuleers are somewhat flexible in their loyalties at any given point.

Get their CEO to clarify things here on the IGS, that'll sort out your confusion.

I'm glad that there wasn't an exchange of fire, though still disappointed we didn't get our man.

But hey, now New Eden knows we don't screw around. Still odd how some think we do but whatever.
