I'm not going to pretend that I know exactly what led to BOB attacking MC with such force and why they felt the need to start this war with former allies who always seemed to fight by their side for so long.
It seems that it would have made more sense to send those resources after their enemies who they have been fighting well over a year or conserve those resources for when they come to attack BOB. Some of these enemies are now close to their currently controlled regions fighting in querious while they gleefully watch MC and BOB kill eachother, but strategic minds far above mine decided to attack old friends instead of attacking old enemies. I don't know why the logistics would be more difficult dealing with a campaign in querious as opposed to PB since it would make strategic sense to keep querious out of enemy hands.
So BoB should just have ignored MC breaking their mutual defence pact, stealing the space they were renting, putting up POS in multiple BoB station systems and reinforcing their POSes ?
Betrayal by a friend is a lot worse than honest enmity, and BoB would have to be complete pussies to just roll over and let them get away with it.

Of course BoB made a mistake by trusting the MC, but it's an understandable one since the entire mercenery business model is built on trust.
Who's going to hire someone who can't be trusted to honor a contract ? What's supposed to stop them from selling the employer's identity, changing sides on a whim, taking ISK and then laughing at you for trusting them with upfront payment ?
MC used to have quite a good reputation and excellent public relations so BoB had every reason to trust them to honor the terms of the agreement, them priding themselves on being merceneries is more reason to trust their word, not less.
Their tenant or friend status is pretty much irrelevant and suggesting BoB failed to hold up their end of the bargain quite simply ludicrous, things weren't even remotely close to the stage where any coalition forces were even considering mounting an assault on MC.

TWD is a noob, nafri obviously meant RSF when he said GBC -_-
Dark Shikari's analysis fails horribly since neither GBC nor Coalition would be willing to work with MC
Can you see RA, AAA, PL or IAC for that matter agreeing to be on same side as MC ?

werent GBC = ragoons and stuff and Bob and co the "alliance"?
but afterall, I didnt ***** coad for months
<-- me noob
GBC stands for "Greater BoB Community", they were also referred to as the alliance, but people have pretty much switched to referring to them as GBC.
GBC has shrunk quite a bit by now, I think only BoB, Executive Outcomes, Axiom Empire and Styx are left ? Maybe a few corps and a couple of small alliances mucking around Fountain..
FIX aren't a factor anymore, D-L joined up with the Tortugans, I think Deadly Addiction jumped ship about same time as Aftermath Alliance did back when MC turned..
