Intergalactic Summit

I thought it would be a sad day to see Karin Midular die. Sadly the day just got worse.

I'm most frustrated and angry towards the Republic Fleet, all the while I understand their position, there was no need for all this violence. If they truly cared for Midular they would not have engaged in hostilities in her name, with the Republic's allies, no less. Republic commanders threw their crews life away for what? For nothing. All they achieved was to dishonor Karin Midular's memory, shame themselves and cause more needless destruction and suffering in a universe that is already filled to the brim of the same.

Oh yes, I'm sure they'll just forget all about it and have awkward moments of silence when a third party mentions it at a cocktail table. Because that's what happens when someone goes and destroys a sizeable amount of your capital vessels, not to mention all the lives of the citizens of your glorious nations aboard.

I cannot fully express the level of sadness I feel at this grievous betrayal of my ancestral homeland by the Republic I've been fighting for these past months and the nation I grew up in. All I can say is that I must question my loyalties were the conflict to heighten further.

I'm terribly accustomed to being right, of course, but it is still fun. Time is a weapon. We Amarr understand these things. Going back in time a wee bit:



Am I still pretending, you poor, simple-minded little fool? Turns out I know you better than you know yourself, now, doesn't it, sweet pea. Catching up to the present:



I so love moments like this.

I love Minmatars.

But if they think they will hotdrop at our territory, ninja-avoid cyno jammers and fly a whole dread army into our space like mad goats, they are dead wrong.

What happened today is an escalation of frustated Minmatars, which I completely understand. There should be some investigation, there should be some heavy apologies from Gallente side for lack of sharing intel.

But invading our space because of this, threatening our peace-keeping forces (we didn't start the shooting, remember?) and being rude is not what a friend does to his friend.

I hope this is not a war. I hope this can be solved through diplomacy now. The shooting was a disaster. The dead of your Ray of Matar was a disaster. We acted as arrogant goats. We are arrogant goats! We surely deserved some "cold" standing reset. But not inviding forces. Not like this. Not with violence. Let's keep it real.

The Ray of Matar has not even been put into her grave yet and she is already rolling over in it. The utter disgust and sadness her spirit must be feeling at the moment is too much for one to even fathom.

(For the sake of clarification, I am referring the the Republic as a government entity and am making no reference to the Minmatar people or tribes.)

This blatant and unjustifiable action by the Republic shows what little regard the government has for the laws, practices, and sovereignty of their allies. Decades of political, economic, and military support and this is how we are re-payed for it? Generations of giving to the Republic expecting nothing but friendship in return and these despicable acts are how they say thank you?

The Republic is a nation of hypocrites of the highest degree. Constantly accusing others of not respecting their culture, laws, and sovereignty while not hesitating for even a moment to completely butcher the culture, laws, and sovereignty of others.

I say, all bets are off. It's time to cut ties with the Republic unless reparations and reforms regarding an alliance are properly made.

Ugh, first Tibus Heth's plan to nationalize Caldari Corps, now this. How the heck am I going to keep the serious-yet-lighthearted tone of Fred Fred Frederation this week when everything is making my blood boil?

So you would justify the Tribals actions? For Gods sake!

I am a Cartel member a known criminal, suspected assassin and admitted murderer, and still a better friend to the Federation than you.

What twisted logic can you be following.

The Federation denies extradition to the former Republic of a criminal who committed crimes in the Federation, and for that offence you blame the very men who would defend us from the barbarians at the pounding at the gate.

"better friend".

It amazes me that this fact does not tell you about the priorities of the Federal Intelligence Office are misguided. . .

First the Minmatars attacked Yulai and the Federation did nothing, because Yulai is not a Federation system.

Then the Minmatars attacked Domain, and the Federation did nothing because Domain is not a Federation region.

Now the Minmatars have attacked Colelie, and there is no excuse for the Federation to not act.

What surprises me is that during this highly political conflict, there where no diplomats on the scene. Several times either side choose their words very poorly, escalating the conflict where a decent diplomat would not have.
