Also, combating raiders in a newly created GCR is bad because??
Seizing power in a newly created GCR when no one asked you to come in and 'safeguard a democratic election process' just because your lot saw Kain the Dragoon looking likely to take the delegacy is what's bad. You invaded Osiris and banjected anyone who opposed you. The 'raider' that so scared TITO into action had just overseen the region of New Britannia turn to neutrality, so it's not like you were opposing Evil Wolf - nor were you justified in invading Osiris.

We didn't "invade" Osiris, so you can quit using that term when it comes to that operation. You know very well that if a single raider organization had taken control of either one of the newly created sinker regions it would have been turned into a recruitment region for that organization and nothing else. Osiris is the way it is today because TITO made sure no single raider organization could take it for themselves, so stop using a bad faith argument when it comes to our organization please.
I'm not exactly experienced in NationStates history, i've only been around for little more than a year, but I am well experienced on the game mechanics at least. So, TITO, the army essentially, of the Ten Thousand Islands (correct me at any point if i'm wrong on the facts), led an operation into Osiris because of a supposed raider threat, if i'm reading this thread right.
Therefore, TITO invaded Osiris, a new region at the time, because of a supposed threat of raiding recruitment, although the region was already swinging towards neutrality? Also, it seems a bit heavy-handed to assume that TITO then is solely responsible for the modern Osiris. And technically it would've been an invasion then if you entered the region and took control of it, no matter how you phrase it or your justification. An invasion is an invasion, regardless of how you phrase it.
In conclusion, I have taken from this thread that you wish to commend a fellow member of your region for an invasion into a new region for
possibly becoming a recruitment platform for raiders. Of course, do tell me if I have some of the history wrong, it will of course help all of us.
