You know, I'm going to leave aside how unintentionally insulting your assessment of Caldari military readiness is and laugh at how insane this statement is.

One would think that since, as the above so arrogantly replied, the Caldari Navy apparently considers a dozen capitol ships to be such a trivial pittance that they would have sent at least that many to defend their frikkin homeworld, right? Nope, they got four. So to recap: The Caldari Navy could not spare more than four capitol ships (five if you count the titan) to defend Caldari Prime itself but we are supposed to believe that losing a dozen capitol ships in one week is nothing to worry about? When did your hubris get buffed with 100% resist vs logic?
Your tactical understanding of the situation is as laughable as your understanding of international politics. The Caldari Navy was able to deploy only four Wyverns and a handful of Chimeras to Caldari Prime because that's the amount of ships they could squeeze through in the seconds-long window they had in which the Federation's Luminaire cynosural field jammer had been taken offline to allow the deployment of their own capital fleet. They didn't know when or for how long this would happen. Hell, they may not even have known if it would happen - wagering that the Federation already had a significant capital presence in one of their own core systems would not have been an unreasonable assumption.
Also worthy of note is the fact that these were capsuleer-piloted Navy vessels, which are astronomically less common than conventionally-crewed Navy vessels.

You're getting mighty uppity for an Ammatar, aren't you?

Which would be pretty damn presumptuous at the best of times, but in this case the person in question is an Ammatar.
Now, I usually don't call out ethnicities and I usually don't pay attention to the Amarrian caste system because it's an utter crock, but in this case it's entirely relevant because it's an Ammatar. It's a person who has willingly subscribed to a socially destructive form of cultural self-enslavement that makes their people the least among freemen in the Empire suddenly deciding that, no, they can speak on behalf of the Amarr Empire in telling the Caldari that they need to further indebt themselves to the Empire to mainatin their safety.
I'd say the irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife, but in fact I suspect you'd find most blades wouldn't pierce it.

That doesn't surprise me, Eran. I always figured you for a guy who handles his deck alone.

I long ago realised that I have a terrible poker face. When I have a good hand, I break into a huge grin.
So I just started grinning at every hand I got.
