Lex Quintus Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 As a practical matter, because at some point he's going to be able to buy and shoot nukes and land them against nations that don't have SDI? No one respects white knights around here, and from the sound of it, we have another case of someone who went the white knight route without all the facts. It's in everyone's interest I think that this get wrapped up fairly soon. Resolution is under way, on a pace to be determined but not likely to be unduly swift.

ChairmanHal Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Resolution is under way, on a pace to be determined but not likely to be unduly swift. Your fight, your timetable, but given Meth's history, I'd not approach it as a "we must ZI him!" thing because principle will probably cost you more than hassle than it's worth.

I'm not completely disagreeing with you here, and as I said, no one respects a white knight. But this isn't Rota we're talking about here. I'm only giving friendly advice.

Lex Quintus Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I hear you, ChairmanHal-- it is precisely Meth's history that informs our principled march to the sea, here. Ours be the fury that hell hath no, to mangle a Jack Sparrow-ism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
