    De juro you're right. However, when you mass troops and materail near a paranoid neighbour, you shouldn't be surprise of a reaction, especially after a coup de Jarnac for Kosovo.
    You tell your paranoid neighbour you don't want to harm him but he can see a loaded weapon just behind your fence, you have to be really diplomatic.
    You don't give pretext to slap your kids, so you tell your kids NOT to pick up apples in his garden.
    And you keep a safe area and don't agressively gesticulate at his door...

    De juro, you can do all that, but a good doctor will tell you it not a think to do...

    "You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
    "Yeah, lad. But I was holding the metal"
