[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] That, uh, doesn't appear to map to the known Romulan MO at all. Romulus fights Earth for reasons unknown. (But personally, I suspect that Vulcan cultivating all these allies probably had something to do it.) Romulus attacks a second time just to see if they could. Then they buddy up with the Klingons, and then the Federation too, only to try to play the two off of each other. Then something happens at Tomed. And then, you know, the Dominion War, and so on. Were I charged with describing Romulan strategy with regards to the Federation, I'd say it all started as a way to maintain parity with the Vulcans. But instead of driving a wedge between Vulcan and her new allies, they seem to have drove them together. So the plan changes to one of keeping up with the interstellar Joneses, as it were. War with the Klingons. (Though surely the Klingons had something to do with that.) Espionage and infowar with the UFP. And now, post DS9, apparently engagement with both powers. Sure, we've seen the Romulans try to grab or interfere with Federation technical advances. And we've seen Starfleet doing the exact same thing. These are all components of larger political strategies. The Romulans aren't just privateers or something. [/QB][/QUOTE]
