Our leverage derived from the presence of our military forces, which cross-endorsed and potentially could have switch sides if the situation called for it.
An update military 'liberation' as such was never going to be a practical option for a long time.
Frankly, however, LKE and TNI do indeed benefit from this outcome, so does Osiris.
We support a stable, free and democratic Osiris. We believed a precondition of that is the removal of UDL and FRA influence. We acted accordingly, to pursue our own interest, but in a way that has secured the return of Osiris into freedom. We get different things out of it obviously.
Indeed.
the LKE and TNi benefited from this.
Osiris is still stuck under a multitude of Gatesvillian demands.
An update military liberation was a practical option with UIAF assisting.
They chose not to, and Osiris suffers.
As I say, we have no reason to deploy if we do not benefit. Osiris also benefits substantially from the return of its region. It is to mutual benefit.
I disagree entirely that an update military 'liberation' was possible with our support and any military option for liberation was made substantially more possible with our forces in the region able to potentially switch sides. This made a negotiated settlement a reality, to Osiris's benefit.
