Bugoslavia holds 22,518 units of defense production nobody buys, an arsenal of 258, and neighbors who smile at us the way men smile at an unlocked vault. Thorne will compound you into a fat target. Draal will audit the invasion. Pravda will hand the invaders a loaf and call it diplomacy. I am the only candidate who says the obvious: wealth without teeth is tribute waiting to be collected. Elect Vex and the arsenal fills, the grain trades hard, and the cost of being Bugoslavia's rival becomes unpayable. The strong stop apologizing. Two ticks.
