I’m on mobile, so I’m not going to bother quoting all that and wrestling with BBCode :p
To your first point - the proposal to go to war passed with 18 votes in favour and 3 against (the three I listed). While Ryccia may have opposed, he did not outright vote against it (I should check if NR voted for, but I believe he did?).
To your second point - your attempt to paint Lazarus joining the war as a result of “foreign propaganda” (implying someone misled us) is off. While I don’t believe the conspiracy theory of you being an NPO propagandist or alogned with them, it does sometimes sound... off.
In regards to your third point, I was merely quoting you replying to Belschaft - Belschaft, of course, making the exact same argument as you are now. To be clear, I’m not arguing an alignment (that’d be unwise) but the argument of being careful because of trouble in the past translates all the same. Your argument (here, not in TSP) comes down to an apparent lack of trust in our security system, yet I don’t see you pointing out and fixing those flaws, which I would encourage you to do.
With regards to your 4th and final point, I consider it unwise to turn away recruits to foreign affiliations. Part of the instability caused has been those exact same foreign affiliations, and essentially telling natives who come in to join a foreign region is kind of asking for trouble sooner or later.
