It sounds like the Brobs started the war and weren't expecting the lilliputians to put up such bloody resistance. Alyssa even admits he forced her into negotiations with the virus and her soldiers destroyed cities without a second thought. The vindictive side of me kind of wants the lillies to drag out the negotiations just to increase the brob fatalities to the virus, or at least have some steep demands to make the brobs squirm.
Ironically, in the original gulliver's travels stories, the Lilliputians are the short sighted aggressive ones while the Brobdingnagians are the more moral ones.
Author's Response:
Something like that. It was left intentionally vague so that neither side was 'fully' to blame. The Brobs just look worse because they've done more damage over the course of the conflict. The Lillis could try that, but the Queen isn't easily tricked either. I doubt she would sit by while her subjects are dying. Now that the President has an advantage, I wonder just how he'll leverage it. He is in a position to act pretty extreme, or so it seems.
Really? I never knew that. Interesting!
