You are only fooling yourself with your posturing.
>you're saying it takes millions of years of toil.
That's not what I said and I almost hope you know it.
I said it took millions of years for it to happen naturally, and since science didn't instant reverse-engineer evolution, since UC don't have godlike immortality treatment, isn't a biopunk setting, we can safely assume UC still can't make perfect self-sustaining biosphere.
As much as we can predict the future anyway...
Again: UC is not depicted as post-scarcity and they struggle reversing Earth ecosystem collapse.

First, I notice you are not actually answering the point made about space colonies being fragile and that even if it was possible, you cannot make them nuke-resistant.
It's as if you are deflecting.

I never claimed the massacre was "only done by nuke", that's your new strawman.
My point was only about the stupidity of thinking "colonies should have been nuke-resistant" or that there's political reason to do so. You didn't answer, either.

Want to mention a lot of the killing was done by bioweapon? Ok, it doesn't contradict anything I said, and we still have colonies wrecked apart.

>And a treaty that happened after supposed to mean?
You live in a real world that still shaped by treaties between mortal enemies. It's kinda retarded to pretend UC can't have any or that minor/ongoing breaches are enough to make them all invalid. As Zeon's weakness have been called out by Revil, they had all the reasons to abide to a treaty that also let them claim the (almost capitulating) Federation was equally at fault for all the genocide. It's just like Putin in space.
