You as well as anyone should know that when in a war your objective is peace for the entire coalition. IRON was unwilling and unable to provide that.
You said it yourself. VE and co would have just shifted NS around, LoSS would have declared on another ally and we NG would be in the exact same position. That is not peace and not in the spirit of any treaty. You can not rightfully begin to humor that as a foul move on Non Grata's part. VE would have done the exact same in Non Grata's position.
It is clear that IRON council were not on the same page at the beginning of this conflict and had/have no idea what they are doing. This is uncharacteristic of the Council.but they now have no choice but to follow through. Sure it makes them look bad but they don't have much of a choice now.
Since IRON is incapable of fixing their error, there is no point in debating it. So shutup and fight; all of you.
