I I appreciate the response, but ... (screeches brakes) hang on, I'm asking for what???? (OK, gonna ignore that rather lamebrain remark)

If I read you right, you are talking about CCP occupying Washington DC. Is that correct?

Are you saying that 12 months is required to convince the CCP that what they are attempting to do will not work? To what effect? So that they pack up and go home? So that the Cabal says "oh well, we tried. Let's give up now"? ("cease their activity")

Or something else?

12 months, while 'reasonable' seems very arbitrary to me. And besides, the whole premise the OP is working on is that there is some legal reason why 12 months is required before the legitimate sovereign can ... what, act to reclaim its own territory.

Sorry, I cannot see how your assertion here interface with the Law of War manual, specifically Chapter 11.

Without being too reactive, I'm asking for nothing!!! (Why on earth would you assert that? weird. Asking for a war, either civil or whatever?)
