We have enjoyed mutually beneficial relationships with the rest of the universe for generations, but it appears the major participants in the war at present believe that no progress is likely as long as all sides share in the same fuel source.

I'm sure you know, for all our airs, all of us here come as beggars at your doorstep. Your people can have more than just the status quo.
