The moment TAZ claimed the very first innocent Outcast soul there should have been retaliation, no if's, but's and maybe's.
I did not decide, officials did and dealt with accordingly. You are not arguing with me about my decision, you are arguing about their decision.
If there are no if-s, but-s and maybe-s, your view remain all black and white, and that's not a guarantee of survival in space for sure.

No state depending on trade through the Canal could just sit back and ignore that, and even though it's on Egyptian sovereign territory they would never risk doing anything that could upset those passing through in the slightest. Like TAZ, their future and security depend on that.
I feel that you are ignoring me, please don't do that. I've already told you, the outcasts did not ignore. They just didn't retaliate the way you think they should have and I think that is why you are butthurt so much. And again, things happened the way they did due to the lack of the blacklist feature on PoBs. Should there be such feature, nobody would have been hurt. Who's to blame for this? TAZ again? Yeah, sure...

Would be more than enough to wage war for you, but it seems the ones in charge when it comes to wage war did not think the same way. How about leaving the decision for them?
