Actaea

Rex Ventorum's proposals were quite unexpected. But, apparently, the king had foreseen even this scenario and sent not only a military man but also a person endowed with life wisdom to the security council. Toghrul Ibrahimov thoughtfully lit a cigarette. With AFTA, everything was clear – Greytwater was not interested in "free" trade, which in reality was only a tool of capitalist warfare, making a weak economy dependent on a strong one, turning the country into a raw material appendage. But things were more complicated with KOSAP... 1) Creating peace and security is exactly what we are here for, in the ASC. 2) Protection from internal unrest. Well, it might work in the event of a military coup. But in the case of an ordinary revolution, the use of foreign troops will simply lead to a guerrilla war. In general, this point looks like just a lure for dictators. 3) Expansion of the missile defense system. Frankly, I don't think it's that effective. Even if only one out of ten nuclear warheads reaches its target, that's more than enough. But the most important thing! This is a military alliance, damn it. And you are presenting it as just a faceless trade organization with voluntary membership. What does it rely on? Is everyone against Kittypink? That's a bad option. Politicians change over time; only ideology remains. Greytwater already has reliable allies that we trust. *Toghrul nodded towards Etorarr.* But what about this alliance? Don't forget that there are not only rights but also obligations. How do I explain to the soldiers that they have to shed their blood for some capitalist country on the other side of the world, and even for a different religion that they have never seen? Let's say I can even explain it. But an alliance without ideology is worthless. In fact, everyone will still be looking out for themselves.

Of course, only in the event of a similar decision from Agar and Greytwater.

I'm against it, in general. :smile48: The ASC is quite sufficient as a platform for dialogue.
