@@jeremydaniels3904 Incorrect. The enemy of my enemy shares a goal with me. In sharing a goal we have common ground to form an alliance.

Those who do not use the enmity of others is bound to be the target of such actions.
@@Nempo13 And you misunderstand, I did not say to not work with the enemy of my enemy, only that they are no more and no less than my enemy's enemy. Also, it was referencing Maxim twenty-nine of the seventy Maxims of Maximally effective Mercenaries (Howard Tayler). Or, to referencing another maxim from the same list, "A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go."
I could just feel the record scratch moment when it was said that a faction of the union threatened to raze human worlds until they were allowed to participate in the war that was getting on perfectly fine without them.
when a learned person declares a thing 'impossible' they are almost always wrong and when a layperson says a thing 'may be possible' they are almost always right
Traitors fucked around after multiple warnings not to fuck around. Why would you antagonize the ones that are singlehandledly ripping your enemy apart? You are just asking for trouble.
We got stabbed in the back a second time after doing a number of things deemed impossible. Likely we learned how to communicate and such with the Swarm after learning way more about them through victory after victory. At which point, given the swarm had never faced a superior opponent, likely agreed to alliance rather than extermination
@@CodexisInkwind Hive minds are usually pretty intelligent. You find a species able to fight you back, but is also not inherently combative and is able to pack bond? Yeah you will ally with them pronto. Once pack bonded it means you have a faithful friend. Even if the swarm wasn't a hive mind but is just an insect like heirarchy...the same still applies only even more so as losing so many worlds means losing the queens and losing control over a LOT of drones. However if you can live alongside someone who you can share a planet with? It is only smart. Chances are we learned from the swarm that they were the ones to originally be attacked and ever since then they have been trying to inflict revenge. I mean, look at how quick they were to stab us in the back... clearly they are the type to initiate extermination of a species if they deem it beneficial.
@@Nempo13 While the second half is a good story element, I think I enjoy more the idea that the swarm here were the original instigators. But then again I'm a fan of darker story elements. The idea of the monster in the dark and the savior who had been beating it teaming up just has a delightfully vicious twist to me.
@@randorookie8587 CIWS is rapid fire. Mostly in a system of multiple rotating barrels. So think multiple tank guns in rotary arrangement firing 4000rounds per minute.
@randorookie8587 just for perspective a modern ciws is a 20mm system and it fires a shell including cartridge that is about 6 to 7 inches long. So they took what we used and made it 5 times bigger
So, how do they secure peace in the future? The Enemy seems to be pretty chill guys until there infinit hunger kicks in. So, did we teach them farming or helped them to lower there need for food by bio engeneering?

i wonder what it'll look like after the war ends. I suspect humanity will find a way to gene treat or modify The Enemy into a more stable creature and help them to spread more peacefully. That or find a way to produce food fast enough to feed them. In either case the galactic council should have thrown those idiots to the edge asap
More likely the inevitable betrayal where after the confederacy is all but eliminated the humans make a massive strike against the bugs command and control only to discover that the strike while devastating was not complete and the bugs had been clandestinely building up a hidden force to once again turn the plentiful humans back into a food source as their precious prey was dwindling in numbers. This had caused some of the younger Hive queens to set up shop on recently depopulated worlds thus creating a unknown back up command structure. I base this one the fact that humans have never been kind to those foolish enough to eat us. The only land based predator (or most of the sea based ones) that would routinely go after a human only exist now due to our laws protecting them. Even with those laws and rarity of these attacks these days, if one should ever attack and consume a human, no laws will protect them as humans invariably pack up and kill them along with any other one that may have possibly shared in the bounty. (We humans are probably the world's most vindictive species. A fact borne out in the story) Insect warms, of course, are going to act like insect swarms. The only question is how many Confederates are going to be around by the time they inevitably turn on each other.
Need-to-know. You didn't need to know. Now you know. Get over it. Most of these stories aren't bad, but they're always (inherently and naturally) based on the author's worldview and level of understanding. Like thinking that all of humanity would collectively be on board with destroying entire star systems for an attack on a single colony station or something absurd like that. Even here, even if we were horrendously pissed off, there's no way we'd refuse an alliance with several other species (hell, look up Operation Paperclip some time; we're more than used to allying with the enemy). At the very least, we'd leverage our victories into mostly one-sided trade deals for access to alien technologies to reverse-engineer, or at least use other fleets as bait or as living shields to wear down the enemy for our own forces. But we wouldn't just stamp our feet and go "you lied to us, screw you all" like a bunch of children.
This is the mistake that was made: Tell humanity something is impossible, and many humans will take that has a Double Dog Down Dare. The other mistake . . . They poked the Dragon.
only in systems reliant upon deception for a false soft strength. the thing about deferring your own authority over to actual truth is, ya can't argue with the truth without definitionally being delusional. granted nobody got a cheat sheet for truth but that's what the scientific method is for. par example if a diplomat gets to stroll up and not have anything to be worried about getting exposed over what exactly do they have to worry about? except of course the job of organising agreement which is the base functional unit of diplomacy. spent too long around self serving sociopaths mon frére.
This is a very weak one, there is just no possibility that humans would refuse to receive help while fighting a total war and instead choose to cause unecessary casualties to themselves. Clearly the author has a very childish view of war and has absolutely no idea what it's like.
We actually don't know anything from the human perspective of the war. It seems they found something out and were more determined to keep everyone away as time went on. Likely the reason they and the swarm turned on a dime to attack the other fleets.
