This was all a well played game of poker by SW. They made Republic go "all in" while SW folded. Now Republic has to find out a way to get out of their gambling debt... I feel sorry for those who are under their umbrella.
As much as they don't want to admit it, FAPA did have a role in the negotiating process. Seems like now you are all trying to wipe your hands clean... How was that water cannon salute again?
