admin: Well fill in some blanks. All your allies are gone and you can't possibly stand alone. Give me something that can legitimize your claims, which right now, I think are inane. Resolve this dispute with "Cooperation and diplomacy." Feel free to make up variables as you see fit.

Blackflag: Well hypothetically then, the cost of going to war is greater than the benefit. Poland has nothing, the NAZIs already control the world, having them invade us again is a waste of time and resources that serves no benefit.

admin: I fixed it to Switzerland. Poland is already under Hitlers foot. Now you're Switzerland, a country that stood idly by throughout the war holes up in the mountains. Now Hitler is planning to invade your country in 1946. Do something about it? Do anything, I don't really care, but I am curious of how you are going to get out of that with diplomacy.

Blackflag: Sure. Again, the cost of invading is a few hours of your time. The benefit is zero. You can't beat a benefit of zero.

Every war ever fought has been because somebody was trying to gain something they didn't already have. What's to be gained from conquering Switzerland? It's the exact same scenario.

admin: Are you serious? Here is what there is to be gained by invading Switzerland. Money, Power, Fame, Glory, Land, Resources. And all for what, a few hours of Hitlers time? Yeah, I am going to quote napoleon again. Invading a rich nation is never bad for a warmongering ppl. There is nothing Switzerland can do but fight, am I wrong? Maybe Switzerland wouldn't be in this predicament either, dependent on Switzerland helping the allies during the WW2, but then again, that is kind of my point to begin with.

And btw, Hitler WAS planning to invade Switzerland, so there obviously was some benefit. Although anyone would tell you the same thing, the people you hang out with excluded.

Blackflag: That's just the thing.

If Hitler has everything he needs, then he has no incentive to take our stuff and wouldn't.

Therefore the problem isn't really war. It's scarcity. Or in other words, the whole issue is economic. If you solve scarcity by not investing so much into troops and weapons like Hitler did, you solve the war.

Sure, Hitler has everything he needs, why would he want to take more? He has killed most of the Jews, why waste a week of his precious time finishing off the rest?
