Declare War on Korea (Motion): No
[Politician]
[Masters of the Shogunate, +3VP]
Surely some of these men of great esteem realize that a war upon the Koreans would be tantamount to a declaration of war upon our only ally, the Chinese? If there will ever be a time for such a war, it is certainly not now, when we would be fighting a war against a military power which single-handedly occupied nearly all of British India only twenty years ago. If we are to believe that there is value in a war which will, ultimately, award us so little, would the cost of military action truly justify the ends? And what of the Japanese men whose lives will be lost? Do they not matter in the least?
