Quote by: God's Mercenaries Show me where diplomacy has acheived the at least hundred year mediteranean peace of the pax Romana and I'll eat my toga. I never said it was a particuarly wise policy, look at the Romans, but it does work to acheive a lack of war for serious amounts of time if you can sustain the superior force. |
The Confederated States of Micronesia don't have a superior force, nor do they have a whole lot of problems.
But seriously what about the Cold War? When two powerful nations built up enough "firepower" to blow the world to pieces several times over. Save for the grace of God Himself, we would have too during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Just because we were lucky doesn't mean it was right. Because when to groups with superior firepower try and prove who has more power, it sometime leads to the only real way to prove it and that is through war, which is something we could not afford.

Quote by: Anmon So you agree then, just blow them away if its serious? |
No because if we did that during the Cold War, I would not be here.
