Subject: RE: Worst Case Scenario
How easily can any single nation, even one as powerful as the USA, effectively embargo Fenspace? It's not like they can surround our borders; they'd have to convince the entire rest of the planet to go along with it. Granted, if the entire Really Real World actually *did* decide to cut us off, we'd be in just as much trouble as you say. And I just remembered that we're talking Worst-Case Scenarios, so of course we have to consider every 'Daneside government ganging up on the Convention.
Valkyries, if we're under attack by one 'Daneside nation, engaging in a ruse de guerre against another sounds like a *really bad idea*. Maybe we could politely ask our aggressor's traditional enemies for help, but trying to trick them is almost sure to backfire. Leaders of nations do talk to one another, these days.
