That whole part of the post just reads as running away. Cant really expect that after making alliances prep for war you can then avoid the war by saying you dont want to anymore and think that everyone else goes along with that despte netgaining already having been compromised. (I'm sure you'll dispute that you ever were looking to war sof and or laf but that's just a game of he said she said, as soon as pacts weren't signed everyone knew the score this set).

But what do I know i'm not involved in politics anymore.
