Giving them a close by target for their hate so that they can reunify against something already proven to be easy to beat up (Like what the Nazis did to the jews) Which if they start going genocidal is when I pull out the fucking Button from the first thread.
Impossible. Their grudge is going to be against us if they do hold it, unless they scapegoat a minority, which we can not influence at all. We can't set up something and tell them to fight that, we'd never get an option like that.
Yes you are missing it.
I'd imagine that would depend on various factors, chief being the Federation's ability to deal with the pressure of the war in tandem with its inherent problems, the way the war goes, the actual terms of the peace settlement, and how the new government(s) deal with the aftermath*.
We cant afford to take land, occupy it for a time yes, but hold it is not in the cards unless they ask us for it, and they currently cant.
Wrong, what we can't do is leave it to fester on it's own, try to hold it ourselves, or try to kill everyone in Tortun. Dumping it on someone else who can hopefully contain it is our only option.
Even if we could, even though this guys will hate us even more than the Wyrmyn and be far more capable to resist and aware of the capacity, everybody in Syffryn would look at the giant that is us just absorbing Tortun with unbridled terror.
We already tried that and it failed. Otherwise this war wouldn't be happening in the first place. If your unable to see it then that's on your head.
Thiers the sketch...
No, it succeeded perfectly, up until the world crisis blew up the Syffryn economy. This is not going to happen again (even the ultra capitalist Sketch have to have learned the lesson), and even if it does the chance of a religious fundamentalist sort-of communist uprising is tiny, so that won't happen again. And even if another crazy uprising like this happens, we can ignore it and it'll burn out through sheer incompetence, much like this one would have if we hadn't attacked.
Let them unify. It's unstoppable. We want the inevitable Tortun state to like us. It's what we wanted the first time around, why we never worried about the North Tortun Confederation.
If we went to the sea couldn't we give the land to the keilmyr triple crown?
You mean the people who where begging us to save them Every time nationalism kicks into the air?
No, that'd be nuts. The Kielmyr already have more volatile Tortun land han they are fully comfortable with. You can't give them all of Halvyni. Much like Tortun, Halvyni has been it's own thing for way too long to give it to someone else. And, much like Tortun, so long as the economy doesn't go nuclear again they shouldn't do a repeat of this.
To rule over the people who depose kings all the time?
We're really better off letting them decide on their own this time around, unless there's a very obvious claimant. Just giving them their republic would go a long way to keeping them sane.
Maybe we can get Faron's grandkid to become President of Greater Tortun, or something.
Cry me a river. We want a group that won't devolve into multiple revolutions when shit hits the fan, the TC have had a decade to prep for nationalism issues, and the TC could take our place eventually as the big stick, so we don't charge into these messes again. And again face "we cannot take land due to fear of opinion."
