Foxburo Nobles Dead!

A plane containing some of your nations most notable and wealthy citizens has crashed in a neighboring nation who is holding the citizens hostage and refuses to turn the survivors over to you.

We in Foxburo do not negotiate with terrorists.

Option 2: Order a total air strike on the hostage location killing everyone out of fear that our national secrets could be revealed through interrogation. Lose Access to Affluent Population.

Among the citizens killed was the highly hated celebrity Justin Beaver. Celebrations erupt across Foxburo, while the lesser known bankers who died will probably not be remembered. 

The sum of wealth acquired by these citizens will be seized and redistributed to the poor.

Neutron Bomb, perchance? 

It was a sacrifice that had to be made. No other way around it. God bless those bankers.

If only....................

The Khanate sends it's congratulations.
