If your union bombs, my trade takes a blow and my rebels embolden and gain more support as a result (when I'm managing to fix it -.-) because your little union went and goofed, then you'll be the ones paying for it. I'm sorry, but I'm not being taken for a ride because someone else goofed. If you were going to di this, it would have only been respectable to do so during trade negotiations, I'm not an unwitting stakeholder in your union. As I was not informed, if I take a hit from this, I will have to take a firm stance and demand reparations. The people aren't going to sleep if you mess up my trade, they'll demand action, nor will they be too pleased that I will need to raise taxes to fund an army because yours is too busy killing its own people.
