I can't hear you over quarians not wanting war.
So that's why they armed their ships and entered Geth space guns blazing? Because they didn't want a war?
However im sure there might have been some civilians including the Admiral of the civilian fleet who didn't want the war but the political leadership wanted the war, they armed themselves and their people strappign guns to their schoolbusses to to speak and sent them off to battle. Not because they were attacked but because they decided to go to war.
I can't see how anyone can deny this simple fact. It's one of the most undeniable of facts out there, we all know who attacked who. Both times.
NO. They attacked because the alternitive was to sit in space and
die. There is no where else to go, and joining the war as-is will be more hinderance then help. They MUST become self-sufficant to aid the war, and that can only be possible if they have a world. A world with the following criteria:
Dextro-based.
"Shirt-Sleeves" temperature levels.
Oxygen-based atmosphere.
Clean water sources.
Tolerable gravity levels.
Air particles that are not lethal to them.
Edible food that doens't need to be reduced to sterle paste to eat.
Insect-free ecology that matches the mammal-spicific symbiotic ecosystem they hail from.
HOW many worlds like that do you think there are? They looked for 300 years and found
nothing. There is only one world that matches the above specifications: Rannoch. And the geth residing in the Perceus Veil have made it clear they seem to have no intertest in negotiation.
And you don't seem to have a problem with Hackett and Udina ordering all
human civilian ships to be armed. And AGAIN, not arming the liveships would have made NO DIFFERENCE. None of the unarmed diplomatic ships in the Veil were spared. Being armed makes no difference to the geth. All they need to shoot you is for you to cross the border into the Veil. Once you do that, then armed or not, you are attacked. And the quarians planned to fight the Reapers afterward, so the ships would have been armed anyway.
The problem is that you repeatedly ignore the reasonings behind each, or thing that "who attacked first" instantly justifies responding with mass slaughter.
