Frankly, I wouldn't care about the timing, if it weren't for the blatant 2:1 down-declare. (And that's not even mentioning the 3:1 down-declare NLoN did two months ago against OP).
And I know D1 doesn't take kindly to being ignored for a friendly war discussion, even more so when the other party decides to do what NLoN did.
If you guys feel like you're being threatened, that's because you earned it.
