The arguments have been hashed and rehashed. My brain says no but my heart says yes.
We can focus on preventing a few future incidents for us but this might become a long-lasting issue in the future too.
Our combat outlook isn't good but if we keep putting it off until "later" we'll never get to it at all.
If we consolidate we'll be in better position to help the Chrystovians in the future but that doesn't help them now.
War isn't good, but sometimes it is necessary to succeed. But can we even secure a positive outcome in the first place?
[X] We should not intervene in the Chrystovian invasion.
To me, some form of response is required. Not all out war necessarily, but the non-intervention option is too limiting.
Intervention such as humanitarian aid, diplomatically checking the Cardassians, stepping up border patrols along the border to reduce the amount of ships they can dedicate to the Chrystovians. But these heavier responses (which can lead to war, I admit) require the ability to act rather than an outright hampering of our options. I'm going to have faith in the players here that we can navigate a path to intervene without causing war, hope that the later votes go that way rather than simply jumping into "FIGHT NAO". In fact, I've read a suggestion that we also declare war on the Chrystovians on the same grounds as the Cardassians so we have grounds to be there.
Might be too idealistic. But hey, at least we can work with the Horizon and the ISC! More people must mean more complications fun!
After more posts and clarifications, I have changed my vote.
