@@jrickducking6685 In 1898, the USS Maine sunk in Havana Harbor, during a period of tension with Spain, since the Latin American countries were in a period of uprisings to remove Spanish colonial power, with Cuba being the most recent. The cause of the sinking was due to an explosion, that may as well have unknown cause but was popularly blamed on Spanish forces, hence "Remember the Maine!" This gave the US just enough of an excuse to have a short war with the Spanish, which was pretty one-sided anyway, and forced Spain to concede important territorial privileges. Most especially, this sold the Philippines, then a Spanish colony, also on the brink of revolution, dirt cheap to the US, giving the US one of its most important bases of power in the Pacific, especially pre-WWII. Considering what Anavel Gato really achieved, and how it inevitably benefited certain people in the Federation, namely the Titans, and helped increase and cement military power, it is very much a USS Maine issue. The only difference was that Anavel Gato cost the Federation significantly more.

@@robertdrexel2043 On top of that, she slips into the role of resistance/ideological leader very easily after compromising ZAFT's security on multiple levels (theft of the Freedom, turning Waltfeld and the Eternal to her side, illegal broadcasts throughout the PLANTs). If I recall correctly, the director of the series said that she's the only character who didn't have a character arc in the show because she doesn't really change - she was always a dual-faceted character, with one persona as a publicly friendly idol and the other persona as a much more serious and determined political leader. She leverages both roles - her two aspects - throughout the series to great effect, allowing her to become one of the most powerful people in the Cosmic Era by the end of the SEED and the most powerful politician by the end of SEED Destiny. Whenever she acts bubbly, careless, and clueless like she did when meeting the Archangel's officers for the first time, it's on purpose. In that case, I would guess it was for her to feel out what kind of people Ramius, La Flaga, and Badgiruel were and whether or not they were honorable enough to not harm her. Once she realizes these are relatively well-meaning people and aren't likely to mean her any immediate physical harm, she's far less clueless. Her innocent appearance and bubbly attitude are really potent tools at defusing situations because people aren't inclined to think she's a threat or very dangerous, allowing her to roam around ships (via Haro lockpicking) without too much resistance.

2:02 Funny how Delaz claimed that the GP02 violated the Antarctic Treaty, when the treaty did not prohibit the development of nuclear weapon systems. If it did, all mobile suits would be illegal, as they're nuclear-powered. Moreover, there was no indication that the Federation ever planned to use the nukes.

even funnier, technically, the Delaz Fleet IS the one who violated the treaty, with Gato firing the Nuclear Warhead.

Only thing I disagree on in this whole vid, is the interpretation of Lacus' personality. She's in an enemy ship. If she show them she's intelligent, they're gonna be on their guard, keeping an eye on her so she doesn't try to escape or alert her nation. If she act like an airhead, they will not be on their guard, and once she find a way to escape or alert her nation, they won't be hindering too much. Many women spies from WWII and WWI actually acted like this to carry on their mission.

Yeah, the last ship she was on was massacred by some (likely Blue Cosmos aligned) EA soldiers. She was going to definitely try to make herself as unthreatening as possible. She's immediately shown to be much smarter than she looks when, the moment she's out of danger, she's able to use her political influence to threaten Rau of all people and force him to stand down.

Tbf Kakarot. At least for the Freedom case, it is shown how much influence the Clyne Faction has in Zaft along with Lacus's agents that we see a bit more of when they evacuate her after her meeting with Athrun, combined with the Red Coat disguise she gave to Kira (which we know is considered the "elite pilot" uniform) it's easy to come to the conclusion that the Freedom's theft was HEAVILY pre-planned by Lacus considering how easy it was for her the escape immediately after along with fact that they didn't stop and talk to the guards, so they wouldn't have suspected this "elite" following this influencial person and might have even come to the conclusion he was to be its designated pilot

Password? that can be hacked! and A Case being is the vehicle being a lock to one pilot and that pilot is killed vehicle wouldn't be used by either of the good guys or the bad guys unless either side makes a breakthrough worst case the enemy side would be able to steal a WMD if there is no one protection it, putting it Back to square one.
