The truth of the matter is that every country fucking hates each-other and will stab a country in the back if they think you're weak enough. And internally, as long as people don't agree with you, you'll never truly be able to accomplish your goal. I've always been a peace though tyranny kind of guy, if I'm being honest with how I'd run things. I'm also more proactive than you would be, I'd pick up the napkin first. It would be really nice if you could just shut out the rest of the world, but on a country scale that's just not possible. To put it another way, you'd let Germany take most of eastern Europe because it doesn't effect you, and I'd take most of eastern Europe because I think it would effect me. Not saying you're wrong in your decision, but I am saying you don't have any idea how to play the game. I barely do, but I know that if you want to be absolutely sure your country is in the best position possible, you need to deal with the rest of the world. I personally couldn't take that pressure, which is why I'm not out there violating the Geneva Convention right now. This is more of a rhetorical question, but would you be willing to do anything for what you believe in, or I guess if you were in a position of political power, your country? I'd be willing to go down as a martyr or one of history's greatest monsters as long as I do what I think is best. If I'm wrong, at least it was through action rather than inaction. Of course I really shouldn't make a rash decision either, so hopefully events like that can be avoided. But in the end, the only thing separating humans from the rest of the animals are memes, and that's all I've really got going for me. Might as well put them to use.
