There is one thing I am struggling to understand at the end of this all. The word is proportionality.
The BB response to this whole situation is DISproportionate to the extreme and has resulted in such a mess of a situation that could have simply been resolved diplomatically. After they made a CF deal with Emeriti with the intention of breaking it, future CF deals will always be in doubt.
Not to mention we are fresh off the blatant cheating done by pyro last age which was PROVEN.
As they say worse things happen at sea...
