The Cardassians did end up joining the Dominion, why would the federation go to such lengths to kill their own people who got trapped on the wrong side of a treaty.
>>211938528 (OP) Because the Federation was retarded in not commiting to the Border Wars with Cardassia and using so little force against them and even more so with the Treaty .Objectively , the Federation could have wiped the Cardies off the face of the Galaxy but they did not realize the enemy they had .
Cardassians are Space Germans , and like Germans , they should not be allowed to have a unified State .
