Hmm, I see a fundamental difference in our approaches to a situation like this. I prefer things to be tied up. I.E. to let Vers crush the Terrans and take over, which they were about a year away from doing. They had already taken large swathes of land for themselves.
The only places that had any resistance was Russia, the middle east and the Far East. To put that in perspective they have little to no natural rubber supplies and outside of the oil fields (which are in this image under attack). They would simply have a severe limitation in Space combat as soon as those areas fell. So victory would have happened for Vers, it is simply a matter of time. Not to mention the Industry and resources in the Americas.
As to Slaine, he had interest in making the Feudal system in Vers come down, he told Harklight that he wanted to get rid of that system. IMO that would have destabilized Vers and lead to the deaths of millions, but that is just speculation.
The main reason I champion the continuation of the war is due to the simple fact that the treaty solved none of the causes for the war. The Orbital Knights are still left up the creek with no paddle, and if the Royal family starts trying to shut the A.Z reactors down the Clans would just rebel.
The hatred of Vers for earth is going to boil up, there is no way that the Propaganda of Vers has will simply be able to pull off a “We are pulling back and giving the whole Earth back to our new buddies”. The populous would have heard stories, seen picture of the conquest and the eventual “Victory” in the sight. And to simply pull back risks major civil unrest in a world taught that the only way to get wealth is to take from the earth.
Earth is still devastated from the first war and after 2 years of conflict in the second war the loss to infrastructure would be easy enough to ignore as just another few billion in “Monies”.
Vers has gotten promises of Capital in the past, but to quote a proverb “You cannot eat gold”. Vers is starving for raw resources, not foreign investment. And without asteroid harvesting or resources from Earth the society of Vers will collapse. See episode 10 marker ~11:20 as to a clear explanation of the situation.
And as to saving a person, sometimes living is a greater burden and hell, than just living. https://youtu.be/3mH2XdUs6xQ?t=1m38s Just follow the lyrics and look up the story. Terrible story and I pity the man.
But like I said, we suffer from the situation where we take two different approaches to the same problem.
