Intergalactic Summit

The actions of the few?

Do you recall, Anslo, five years ago when this war began? I do.

Putting it short, the whole of the State was all to happy to engage in this war and for a time, they enjoyed the fruits of their successful annexation of our lands. MY HOME may not have suffered much. But it's only the tip of the iceberg here. There are billions of people across the war-zone that can inform you of how kind and merciful the State's forces were to those they had pressed under their boots.

I want this war to end, but before that I want two more things.

First of all, I want weeping State-apologist Federals like you to wake up and smell the hypocrisy of lamenting the Federation's 'meddling in State affairs' when that same State has numerous crimes to account for. It's all well and good to be angry that we are meddlesome when the target of that unwanted attention is blameless, but that is not the reality here. I would like you, and every other apologist out there to keep this in mind and realize this war has two sides, and that if you must cry about it, crying for only one is naive at best, foolish at worst.

Secondly I want to see there be a measure of closure for both sides in the war if we are going to end it at all. From where I'm sitting I will ultimately have few problems with keeping the war alive for decades or centuries to come. It is a war of attrition and one we can easily win. It would however be utterly wasteful as far as lives are concerned and I am not arrogant enough to assume that just because I won't have a problem with handling it, the rest of the Union will have no problems either. They will. If the people had to vote for either resolving this war in an honorable manner in a couple of years or go on fighting like this for the next century or two, I'm confident we all know what option will be chosen, even if option two was guaranteed to end in victory and the end of the State's existence.

Let me clarify on closure - simply put, the resolving of any and all outstanding grievances between our nations, far as they can be resolved. To begin with, the State can return the millions they kidnapped from the transports leaving State space half a decade ago, and reimburse the other millions they robbed blind at the same time. That would be a good start. I'm confident the State has their terms for us, and at the end of it, when it's all done, THEN we can have a peace treaty signed, and ratified, and honored.

Hopefully for at least the next century, until another moron starts another revolution somewhere.

Until that day Anslo, until that day I have no sympathy at all for any complaints the State could ever raise against us, and even less so for Federals who buy into them. The State made their bed when they declared war on and invaded us, now, they lie in it. It is not our problem nor our fault that it's a very uncomfortable place to be.

You make war upon the CEP and the Navy. Just what State are you fighting for?

You go right ahead and take that Provist fleet deeper into the State to "take back" a completely uncontested planet that you've had control over for years and years.

The rest us will be sitting on the sidelines laughing our asses off while we wait for you to learn how to read a map.

We fight for the Caldari people and the State. The CEP are appeasors and collaborators who have only the sole interest of their own corporations.

They have made war upon Executor and the Provists.We have not declared war on them. We aim to defeat them have the Executor Tibus Heth lead the Caldari State into stronger better future.

It's people like you two that makes painting the State in a good light hard...

Federation zealot get on your knees and grovel you scum.

Why should I? Your petulant demands don't impress me.

I see a contradiction in insinuating cowardice on the part of the CEP in making compromises with the CPD and then stating you prefer leaders who will not resort to violence. Given the political and economic situation five years ago, the only alternative to political compromise with the CPD would in fact have been to put down the New Meritocracy by force and to enter into a period of internal unrest until lawful corporate authority was restored in the face of insurrection. Now, if the mobilization order had been given to put down the New Meritocrats just the same as the order had been given to put down the Brothers of Freedom then I would have gladly done so as my duty demanded.

However it was not, and instead the CEP legitimized the formation of the CPD and the office of the Executor, and duty demanded I obey, just as now I will obey the directives of the CEP. While I can understand some of the reasons for such, even if I had my own reservations it was not my place to question but to serve to the best of my ability because I do not live in the Federation or Republic where it is preferred to complain bitterly about the past, engage in, "What could have been," discussion, or partake in historical revisionism, all without actually providing acknowledgement to the requirements of the present day because in the end if wishes were wings we'd all be able to fly, right?

Horn spent most of last night in Haatomo locking people up and attracting suspect flags, playing docking games and generally being an irrelevant nuisance. Curiously and with no small amount of hypocrisy, his vessel of choice for this escapade was a Dominix.

I suggest ignoring him.

it's the use of an archetypically Gallentean ship that amuses me the most. Flying the Provist flag while piloting a Dominix of all things is just absurd.
