You will need to expand more on that, you can't leave me hanging here. I am getting excited now, after all we might be having a real intellectual discourse. How do you intend to take out PA without fighting it?
By out manning you.
By out gunning you.
By out lobbying you.
By opening so many fronts that you are stretched impossibly thin.
By ensuring that you are suitably occupied within.
And lulling you into all's aman on the eastern front without.
If you can turn the corner in spite of all that, great.
It only means that you finally matured and came of age to take your place in the league of nations.
If not, we are waiting. And watching.
For the holes in the stretched fabric to render and get bigger.
Till either the whole unravels.
Or there is a hole large enough for us to get through before you can close it off.
Once we are inside, within a major city of yours, there is no way you are going to go nuclear.
From there it is a honorable armistice.
And a special protectorate status.
As an independent sovereign nation.
