RV, ordinarily I would just ignore you but lets pretend for just a minute that I actually care what you think shall we.
Mismanagement is exactly what happened, the reasons for it re nothing to do with this forum, but the peace process with \m/ was mismanaged. It is my direct fault and I both accept and concede that. I apologize for my mistake. There was never any epic stupidity and I refuse to accept such an assertion.
Given the same set of circumstances to play with over again, I would still be attacking \m/. I have no regret at all over attacking \m/. Take it as read that I am still very very happy that I started the war.
Likewise, given the same set of circumstances, I would still offer \m/ terms on day one and still accept them at any time.
I would of course change many other things about how I personally dealt with things. It is clear I made some gross errors, but my errors were compounded by the actions of others, people who of their own free will chose a path that saw them end up in grief. Am I responsible for their plight? To some extent, but they also contributed heavily to their own position, I will take the blame to a point, after that their own ego can deal with their own ego.
NSO has a legitimate axe to grind, but any interest I have in said axe expired a long time ago. I don't personally give a toss about Polar-NSO relations. We are better off without them and likewise they are better off without us. I honestly hope the treaty is never ever re-signed and I am guessing so do they. Seems like the perfect deal then?
If you have a specific question that you feel you need answered RV, feel free to click PM and I will be only too happy to respond. You may of course feel free to make public the response if you wish

You do bring up a good point, AlmightyGrub. But I do have my questions.....as to why the NSO hate NpO so....can someone please give me insight into this? Like I stated before, I'm asking all these questions on my own, and from purely a diplomatic point of view.
