Either use prisoners of war as bargaining chips as intended, or give the enemy an honourable death on the grid. Picking them up for this dishonourable little puppet show only serves to demonstrate the degree of childish desperation that makes the whole lot of you irredeemable.
The man who drinks is still accountable for his actions when he sobers up.
This is a logic error or a purposeful misinterpretation of the facts, because the Triglavians and Kybernauts are the invading force which is holding occupied systems against EDENCOM forces and loyal capsuleers.
There is no legitimate government in Pochven beyond the CONCORD signatories.
There are no systems within Pochven that can be classified as sovereign territory of the Triglavian Collective.
The fate of all traitors.
If she has not yet taken the tea after failing to stand and fight alongside the navy during the invasions and executing prisoners like some Black Eagle goon, the only criticism that is going to have any meaningful impact is a firing squad.
No citizen of the State should be following orders from traitors who assisted abyssal space barbarians in perpetrating an unprovoked invasion of four major powers that has harmed no people more than your own.
Do not sully the history of the war of secession by comparing it to this war. The circumstances are not even remotely similar.
They do not possess authority, and therefore possess no ability to practice law or diplomacy.
War is the only normal relationship one can have with an enemy who does not understand the concept of peace.
People die in war. That is the price that must be paid whilst waging one. That is a small price to pay compared to the alternative.
They chose to acquire those stars at the expense of other peoples through force. Predominantly, I remind you, at the expense of our people. And when pressed between the choice of defending my people, standing by idly and letting it happen or betraying my people and acting against their interests, the sole honourable choice was to stand up in their defence. I am saddened that you were not able to see that. You will have to live with your role in the deaths and mutation of all Caldari affected by this war.
Normal relations and mutual understanding have already been achieved. There is nothing further to discuss.
One should not seek too much in the actions of something that is purely and simply a threat. One should seek to destroy it before it destroys more in it’s path. The Triglavians, Sansha’s Nation and the Drifters are all such existential threats, and continue to cement that perception with each passing day. The only question, as you have already ascertained, is that of urgency.
If your clan’s leaders decided that the best option was to break from their tribe, and stay in what has become what can only be described as a wound carved into the cluster, whilst the lack of sunlight and the bioadaptation of the planets and it’s inhabitants irreversibly tainted nature and culture alike, they have failed themselves and the people who look up to them for leadership. You should focus on getting those capable of understanding what is happening around them out of there rather than abetting insanity.
On this, you and I agree.
On the contrary. This unexpected crisis has caused centuries-old enemies to co-operate against a common threat. This co-operation will continue until the enemy’s ability to wage war, their fleets, their armies and their industry, are broken. For most of us, this is a simple, uncomplicated endeavour, because the safety of our families, friends and fellow citizens depends upon it. The only ones here who have something to reflect upon are those capsuleers who betrayed New Eden in order to enable an otherwise managable enemy.
She is a traitor who aided the Triglavian Collective against the CONCORD signatories, the State included. As far as any citizens of those CONCORD signatories should be concerned, yes, she is an enemy. The fact that you are unable to see that and attempt to redeem her character is deeply concerning.
Your people’s ancestors fought for their freedom during the Great Rebellion precisely because they refused to let others destroy their culture and tell them how to live. My people did exactly the same and when we had to choose between Caldari Prime or the survival and autarchy of our culture, we made the right choice irrespective of the hardships it brought. If the sacrifices your ancestors made for their heritage and autonomy mean so little to you, then stay on your planet and be erased by your masters, but stop pretending that your clan did not make the wrong decision solely because it was the path of least resistance.
There is absolutely nothing worse than when someone voluntarily chooses to abandon the ways of their ancestors. Even Sansha drones have the excuse of being forced to do what they do by means of implants.
Your path is now effectively whatever path the Triglavians decide for you, and I don’t see that fish making it onto the galactic market once the entire biosphere of your world has been adapted to their specifications.
This is the way.
This is called treason.
As someone who spent the better part of October to February on evacuating Caldari refugees, I can confirm that they did.
I wish that was an option but five thousand people screaming in terror as the hull is breached is not something anyone could ever forget, and the only logical thing to do is to combat the threat responsible until it ceases to be able to repeat the incident.
What you conveniently left out is that in contrast to other species, the peoples of New Eden are a part of something greater than themselves. Their societies. From their parents and their teachers, each child learns the ways of their people, becomes a part of their society, contributes to it, and eventually passes their role and responsibilities on to the next generation once it is ready. That is the true body. Giving someone the choice between death or joining the flow is effectively like asking a cell whether it wants to die or become a cancer. In either case, the cell as it was ceases to be. The only thing the body can do is cut it’s losses and remedy the cause. Since the cause only understands violence, that is also the only solution.
