Russia: I'll be brief, OK?
1. Saying you lost men and therefore you deserve land is a joke. Britain lost 2x as many men as you, Libya FOUR times as many, both are willing to have peace. The only nation who lost LESS men than you is Spain because of their overwhelming force and late entrance into the Italian battle..
2. Sweden fought back your "attacks" easily twice, and now they can block Prussia with a fleet in E and devote their entire army to Russia. Sweden can support 19 armies in addition to their fleet... They can already bring 8 armies directly to bear on Russian land with the prudent usage of a second fleet, and with a third, they can bring 12 the next turn. Sweden is poised (like France) with a capital which can conveniently counter-attack anywhere..
3. When Prussia sees the futility of a naval war (just like England did) then Russia will be the only power to be draining money into war. If you trust your neighbors enough to leave your borders ill defended, it's not my business.
4. Britain and France are the first nations to ask Russia to end the war now, but they will not be the last. If innocent lives continue to be wasted, a French trade embargo of Russian goods will be considered next turn to force Russia into peace. We mean peace all over Europe and will accomplish that goal even if it earns us the hatred of Russia.
5. The war was over Denmark, not Sweden. Therefore, once Sweden has accepted the British ownership of Denmark the war is finished, except for the greedy imperialists who joined it to get land. Libya, France, and Spain were forced into the war by the menace of the Italian troopships floating in the West Med, and they should keep the land they took, but not remove Italy from the game.
6. That's how I see it. Others may think different, let's hear from them.
