Kor-Azor Prime GÇô In the first public statement made by a member of the Privy Council since news broke about Merimeth Sarum's proposal to relaunch the Reclaiming, Aritcio Kor-Azor preached a calm and measured approach.
GÇ£We must not rush hastily into an escalation of war,GÇ¥ the Heir and Imperial Chancellor said to reporters with the Amarr Certified News. GÇ£The Empyrean War has already taken a heavy toll on the Bleak Lands and Devoid. We must be cautious if we do not want to bring it to the borders of the Throne Worlds themselves.GÇ¥
According to Kor-Azor, the Empire must tread carefully and only act after a full examination of the situation has been made. GÇ£Is the Minmatar Republic really more belligerent, as some are claiming? Or is it merely the chirping of an annoyed furrier with no force behind it? We must determine the truth of the matter before we take any sort of action.GÇ¥ Despite this, the Heir has pledged GÇ£my house's forces stand ready for whatever my empress commands.GÇ¥
Sanmatar Maleatu Shakor has issued a statement denouncing Merimeth Sarum and Catiz Tash-Murkon, saying, GÇ£The Minmatar Republic does not take threats against it lightly. We have stood resolute for over a century and will never be subject to oppression again. Our culture, our people, our lives are our own and nobody else's. Any sign of aggression from the Empire will be met and revisited tenfold.GÇ¥
Mediators from CONCORD have apparently stepped in to prevent any escalation of conflict. A delegation of CONCORD representatives have been seen at the imperial palace at Dam-Torsad, while another has been spotted meeting with tribal chiefs.
((So was I first, have the other news people stopped, or do you not care about EVE-side news anymore? |

Well, at least someone on the Ammarian side of the lines is thinking. As I said this will end horribly for both sides, how many millions are you willing to sacrifice to "save" a people who don't want help?
Also you tell 'em Shakor! |

Clearly whatever we are doing just isn't working, so why do we keep insisting on throwing resources into the meatgrinder over an extended period of time when we can throw in a game-changer and end it now? In organizing to place the Khanid in power, we could talk down a war with the Matari that would bleed resources from our little marionette empire, leaving the Republic to their own devices. We could then redirect the attention of the Amarr into aiding in the war against the Federation directly.
It wouldn't be the first time a move on that scale has succeeded.
I hate to butt in, but as much as I would love that it wouldn't work. For one thing despite these tensions 1/5 of our race still lives inside the Federation's borders, an escalation of your war would invariably lead to heightened tensions with us.
Second while many of us here would just want the war to outright stop between the Minmatar and Ammar, neither of our people could EVER come to terms on anything. There's just too much bad blood between our nations. Shakor would want incredibly expensive reparations for the countless souls and equipment lost to the war. Also he would never give anything to the Ammar empire after the enslavement of so many. He wouldn't stop until every single Matari is out of the Ammar empire (who is willing to go). Then factor in that the Ammar believe they are "saving" us and it just goes further down hill.
These are not my particular views on the subject, but this is how the wind blows in the Republic. I would be happy to these ambitions fulfilled to this end, but it just wouldn't work.
We are a people wronged it would pretty much be exactly our way or the highway for peace negotiations. |

I know the Khanid are a just people, but peace would be far more complicated than most would think. We would want every single slave freed, that would destroy the Ammar economy. Even if they were to free us, they would look weak for doing so, this would cause my people to either demand more harsh terms against the Ammar, or to cause skirmishes at out borders because my people though they could take them on. Which would just start the war up all over again.
Besides most of us have as much a problem with the religion as the institution after so long. |
