Bendhermongese Think Tank, Bulutaitai (BLT), Offers Thoughts on Current Events

"In light of recent events, we have come to a few conclusions about the situation prevalent throughout the world's hot spots, and would like to offer our collective opinion. With regard to Zangora's loss of ships and Imara's "convoying" of said merchant fleet, we hold it a very unwise act of Zangora to accept any such aid. BLT does not have conclusive evidence that Mervo is responsible for sinking Zangora's ships, or on the other hand that Imara is framing Mervo (we would cease to be a think tank and instead would usurp the authority of the Bendhermong Intelligence Agency (BIA)). However we do think, in light of recent history, that we should call attention to Imara's aggressive history and the attempt (though failed) of the major powers of the world to get up a coalition to stop their expansionist advances. Therefore, it seems to us that Imara might again be seeking to take advantage of a nation, not even honorably by an outright declaration of war, but by subversive means seeking to aggrandize themselves and so inflame the situation as to gain their own ends."
