Provided EVERYTHING else has been done first.
Have they done everything else first?
No?
Then get back with me once they have.
Nobody is going to care about your technicalities when they are trying to free themselves from oppression.
You have chosen sides.
You sound like some kind of Redcoat in 1776 who says to a colonial:
"I will go home as soon as King George releases me from service and pays me off. Until then I have the right to quarter in your home and appropriate your livestock for my sustenance."
If I have to support a side that believes in violating contracts, then I have no use for that side.
Sounds like to me, I’ll just sit this one out.
