Show AllWhen you are confined to a base/fortress you dare not leave, and must garrison the perimeter to prevent even casual contact, you have lost mobility, and therefore the war. You have become tactically reactive, unable to think outside the 'incursion/retaliation' loop.
This is the final act before the curtain drops on Empire for good.
Non Serviam - I will not serve.
What was the matter with the G7 meeting in Iqaluit. It was good for a cocktail party for the officeholders and it did not bother anyone except the citizens of that community. Why not have a permanent site for these meetings on some island, say in the Orkneys or Gothab or Spitzbergen. They could meet all they want and not bother the useful people of society.
Is this meeting only a schoolboys 'thumb to the nose' for them to say "I am the king of the castle and you are not".
