On that note I think IMG made some bad decisions, letting ego cloud their decision making. To call this a suicide is a bit rich. Perhaps it's a good learning moment and not too late to turn the tide.
Whilst I won't psychoanalyse others, IMG didn't appear to work to maintain any of their complex diplomacy henderson had constructed. You need to flex in situations where you're allied to warrimg groups. It can be done, but you can't set the terms of the relationship.

Implying there is any type of thread that is save from that.

I'm not the one who got all serious. I'm just eating chocolate ice cream.

You turned into a cynic about 6 months ago. Can we rewind to optimistic Sombra?

Allrighto - thanks for info. IMHO the blame is in both (all?) sides of the table - yet all it seems that IMG will end as scapegoat.
In my opinion: IMG had right to deny to hand over their stations - and get pissed when they have been taken anyways. (I do not deny that Bretonnia do not had a good reason to doing so, yet in the eyes of bystanders their actions were no difference from GRN). IMG had right to call the blockade and use full force when someone tried to break through (still, they might send the message in more diplomatic way than blow ship to pieces - eg. force to drop all the cargo and shred it in front of the USI smuggler + plus send and warning to USI HQ that breaking embargo will not be tolerated). USI had right to get angry for losing one of their ships - yet instead yelping about it, they should contact with IMG and try to solve the case alone not whining to the government. CR had right to not liking for blowing up USI ship - yet taking for consideration of situation and former/current alliances instead sending threats to IMG of possible sanctions - should try to call the meeting. Lastly - Republic had right to get pissed for blowing up USI ship - yet death sentence for all IMG seems to be a little overkill.

As far all my interactions with CR or Republic officials - shown that they are inRP bunch of megalomaniacs - with EGO bigger than all their bank accounts and ships combined.
Yes, I still holding grudge - both inRP and ooRP - against Republic where after one of my inRP priceless ships were blowed up by one of LN battleship with LPI assistance. It was my character - after all my losses which included unique, nowhere-to-get-anymore cargo - who during the court hearing from victim of prejudice and officer abuse was put as suspect and then convicted guilty and threatened by FR5 if fine weren't payed.
Dear Republic where were you with all Your death sentences - for killing defenceless civilians then?
And as for CR - were were You with all task forces when Bretonnia were on need? Oh I remember now - You were busy on bullying Freelancers in their home system - busy on killing traders who were flying with supplies for Barier-Gate.
