Caught in the act?

Ever since the end of one of the wars against the Rocky Mountain Republic, we have noticed an... interesting pattern: the very frequent assassination of our spies.

Now, we had a feeling that R.M.R. was responsible for at least part of it, as the time they were online often aligned with the timing of the espionage and, besides, we have had hostilities since the first time we ever interacted with each other.

But, of course, we couldn't do anything until they were caught.

Earlier today, I logged into P&W to see this notification:

So I suppose that Luna being nuclear-capable has become too much of a threat to you, despite what you said about how we could have twenty-five cities and nukes and you still wouldn't be threatened by us.

Well- here's what I have to say to that: R.M.R., YOU'VE BEEN CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

Now, let's think back to where our hostilities began: when we said we would provide economic support to Rimskaya all that while ago, right? Remember why Rimskaya was countered in the first place?

Hmm, I wonder what it could be...

PERHAPS GETTING CAUGHT ATTEMPTING AN ESPIONAGE OPERATION?

Well, then. Remember when I warned you about the potential assassination of my spies a while ago? And that I said that I'd catch you trying to sabotage things in Luna and there would be consequences?

Hmm... what was it you said to me about espionage a while ago?

Oh, right- 

"Espionage is a valid casus-belli..."

Indeed, it is...
