There was an absolute inevitability about this - basically, what's happened is exactly what I predicted. Had BDL's leadership been a bit smarter, though, they could've avoided the pitfalls they instead embraced, and found ways round the situation. It's not as though they weren't warned - but instead, they insisted on seeing some nefarious purpose in everything I said. BDL were a victim of their own short-term opportunistic thinking in lieu of long-term strategy - something that's been true of all O44/O54 alliances in this world to date.
