2. First thing on the agenda should be ...

(if I have been paying attention properly to priorities and the New Criteria) ...

Will our involvement be profitable, and if so, how much can be made off of this potential conflict? It does not have to be profitable to the people here, just to those important entities that have been, (and desperately need to) shovel our taxes into their bottomless coffers so that they can continue to expand their dominance.

I guess the question next in line is will that profitability create more profit opportunities for the profit-worthy ones by establishing and expanding more control for the Blessed Empire?

Criteria are important and we, as informed citizens, might want to consider them in apprehension of the strategies to follow.
