We would be able to under the law, because fighting against a coup is in line with the principles espoused here. I’m not sure why anybody would think otherwise. Defenders have always fought against coups. This isn’t complex!

As for your first question, it would depend on the actual context of the situation. It’s not possible to give you an exhaustive flow chart of what TSP should do. We already use our democratic values as guidelines in how to react to these situations, and will continue to do so. Being defender doesn’t offer any more guidance, because “defending” isn’t itself an ideological framework. It’s an activity. The ideological reasons we defend are our democratic values.

The short hand here is:
- Defending is an action our military takes
- Democracy is the ideology behind it

TSP proclaiming ourselves a defender region just means we aren’t going raid innocent regions. Everything else about why or how we react to specific situations isn’t a question of “how does a defender TSP react?” but rather “how does a pro-democratic TSP react?” A lot of these scenario-based questions have already been debated and answered through past actions, as TSP has been pro-democracy for years. In Lazarus, for example, we aided the people who got purged by a raider occupation, because we believed LWU’s actions were anti-democratic.
