The character is not set in stone, it develops over time. And that development leads a character into a cabal. Acting like full-fledged member of a cabal from day one is so boring I can barely stand it. To this day I have perfect experience of: 1) breaking imperial law to no end before being inducted to Empire; 2) giving no flying fuck about outlander policies before being inducted to outlby Kstatida - Main Board

World trade is cool if it helps building long international supply chains, because added value is created everywhere, and longer supply chains mean higher labour efficiency. If it's simple trade of consumption goods - it only serves wealth redistribution, and not overall wealth growth. The problem is that where long international supply chains are involved - security issues arise.by Kstatida - OT Board
You're basing your thoughts on assumption of an ideal world market where everyone has free will and equal trading power. But the world is not like that - some countries have a great deal of control over other countries - and they are able to open other markets without opening theirs. Harris treaty would be a great example of that.by Kstatida - OT Board
So if everyone is protective - the world economy halts, but if only a few are protective but force others to open their markets - those who are able to pull that trick are totally fine, while the others suffer (this one is highly popular measure - association agreements are much like that, and Kanagawa treaty would be a great example of such). Also keep in mind that unprotected trade between uby Kstatida - OT Board
The shittiest thing I've had was a 1-month kitten I gave a name to catching a disease in clinic and dying the next day. This experience has made me randomly murderous ruthless sociopath that I am.by Kstatida - OT Board
I almost stopped playing Gromm, but the times we went for a hunt were fun. Major props. Edit: Going against you was fun as well. Ballsy to no end, just like Talisin and Glaumur were. Edit2, Murphy mode: Your name resembles Russian word "shtyr", meaning "pintle", and it has the same obscene meaning as in English. I bet every Russian was smirking on encountering you.by Kstatida - Char Board
Removing key regimes that acted against dollar oil world trade (Lybia), creating great civil risks for the Europe, draining its resources and weaking it politically so that it has less abilities to forfeit TTIP, increasing insurgency risks in the Middle Asia, draining Russian resources, igniting Ukraine and placing it under external control, creating a barrier for oil&gas exports from Ruby Kstatida - OT Board

Head of the Russian Electoral Committee went to the U.S. Congress elections for consultations and aid. United Russia has won in all of the districts :)by Kstatida - OT Board
Unrest in M.E. is in the American national interests. No matter who is elected president, American national interest will not change. So unless a president you elect is somehow a fucking traitor (which I can hardly believe considering amount of money necessary for elections, therefore any president will represent strong corporate lobbying groups and won't betray at least them, hence won'by Kstatida - OT Board
The thing is, your economy will shrink several times if you do it, resulting in wealth reduction comparable to (if not greater than) Great Depression. If you go protectionism, you'll have to bear with other countries closing their borders to U.S. goods and services as well, but in that case, international demand for U.S. dollar will greatly decrease, resulting in drop of demand for U.S. tby Kstatida - OT Board
I find amazing how you phrase it as "WE will have Christians beheaded in M.E.". Wake up and look at the fucking map, ppl. You're not the world government, whom you elect has nothing to do with ppl being beheaded on M.E. (well aside from financing ISIS when it started, but that's typical CIA shit, so no matter).by Kstatida - OT Board
