## Support Prudent Diplomat

While of course the reunification of all of Italy under of glorious republic should be an eventual long term goal, the reality is at this time we're facing a a lot of unknown with a depleted armed forces and a war weary population. While the true Byzantine spirit should have us stand firm in the face of all opposition, the reality of this new world of fighting, where thousands of brave men and women perishing on the battlefield in a single day is no longer the rare exception but now the norm, it is difficult of us to ask our people to endure such a burden in our current state.

Let us focus on rebuilding and consolidating our power, given a decade or two we can be more ambitious in our expansions and interactions, and with a refreshed and renewed population.

This. We're the dominant European power of the 19th century, it only makes sense to arrogant as hell. The territory is our birthright, by jingo!

While my heart yearns to bring our Italian brothers and sisters and those struggling under the yoke of Hungarian tyranny into the bosom of our Republic, and to do it now, my mind tells me that now is not the right time, that after the two great wars our Republic has gone through in such swift succession we must be at ease and tend to our own garden. Our people will be free, none of us should doubt that. But we must be fully ready for that undertaking first.

There's been enough bloodshed for a while and future bloodshed is going to happen anyway once one of our neighbours gets dumb ideas.
20 years ago, France stood at the brink of hegemony over Europe. It failed. Why? Because it had become arrogant enough to believe that it could stand alone with merely a few hangers-on. Let's try not to make the same mistake.
