Also something to consider in our position, something the GA doesn't have to consider so much. If the OS gets a further hammering, it'll either strengthen them or shatter them, I can honestly see either happening, both of which come with considerations.
If the OS regalvanizes itself, it'd be worth speaking with the GA directly to make sure they are going to keep up their invasions, so we are not facing an angry OS and a ST both on your borders at once, alone.
The other possible outcome is the OS already wounded from the civil wars breaks down. Where do their writers go or the recruits they would have taken? To our border most likely, some to first order, maybe a couple to SE? - Which makes that neutral zone buffering us so key to get setup. I am certain I am not the only person who has looked at that possibility.
