Intergalactic Summit

It's unfortunate that it took the Federation this long to to encounter a scenario that would show them the true face of Shakor's Republic.

The Caldari State is now the ONLY one of the Empires that has not been forcibly invaded by this government. Not this nation, but This Administration.

I do not lightly make this statement given the closeness of recent tragedy, but the Republic led by Karin Midular would never have been this stupid, bloodthirsty, or reckless. The magnitude of her loss is made painfully evident not 24 hours after her passing; she was the only hope that any disciple of peace had for Amarr and Matari. It is apparent now that there is also little hope for peace between the Matari and anyone else.

CONCORD should take a long hard look at the members of it's charter. Then they should remember how many lives they lost to a sneak attack by a Shakorite Warfleet.

In a few short years, this government has boldly and blatantly attacked nearly every other CONCORD signatory entity, and CONCORD itself.

CONCORD should remove the Minmatar Republic as a member state of the Yulai Convention until this chaotic rogue regime can be ended.

It's not against the Republic, nor it's citizens.

It is against the fool who has decided to use your people to break every agreement your nation ever ratified.

This course of action will throw all of New Eden into chaos. We can hardly afford such a disturbance with other threats lurking in the dark of Anoikis and Nation territory. I'm afraid your reasoning has been clouded by your prejudice against the Matari people. One of the many virtues of post-humans is pragmatism; I encourage you to set your bias aside and see the big picture.

CONCORD exists to maintain the state of peace between it's signatories. It is the reason it was founded.

I ask them to do so, before the many elements among my own people, who are aching to be called upon for such a task, are convinced that it is up to them to act.

Unless you would prefer a solution from the Imperial Navy. After today, I'm not sure the Federation Navy wouldn't be covering our flank as we proceeded.

CONCORD has shown themselves to be wholly ineffectual, so I don't see what difference it makes whether the Republic (or any of the great nations) remain signatories of CONCORD and the Yulai convention.

I suppose we'll just have to wait for the Republic to try to invade the Caldari State as well before someone takes some proper action against it.

Some hundred years ago, people of new Eden set their differences aside and united to take down a power-crazy warmongering lunatic; those who don't learn from history are sadly doomed to repeat it.

It only feels dirty the first time.

Agreed. Yulai violations are not to be tolerated anymore.

However, your proposal is flawed. If such case were to happen, it would make the Republic completely helpless against any kind of external threat, including the Amarr Empire, that would be more or less free to do whatever they want considering that they would not be attacking a CONCORD signatory and member anymore.

My own petition is simple : the exact same one, with one more condition clearly stating that all Yulai signatories would be prohibited to engage in any hostile action in Republic space, except CONCORD itself.

Edit: I see there is a better place for my comment.

I approve of Graelyn's suggestion. Though I doubt CONCORD is capable of acting on it.

I agree with the suggestion, Maleatu Shakor is a problem for the cluster.

As for those claiming this opens the door to the Reclaiming, Heir Merimeth Sarum has called for it before the unfortunate events that lead to this call. And, in the past, the powers have had the power to ignore CONCORD everytime they want to, as the Republic has done again now. So I don't see how it changes anything to be or not a signatary of the Convention, specially for Shakor, who apparently likes to break those accords without any double thoughts.

So no, the Reclaiming isn't held back by CONCORD. It's held back because the Empress and other factions in the Empire don't want war, and as long as that remains such, the Imperial Navy will hold back. Lets hope it lasts.
