this just reminds me of thoughts I have wherein the Federation, even after making the Defiant, seems to have forgotten the concept of picket ships and gunboats.

and it proved Yoda's words before they were ever penned.
The Founders feared other races. That fear became anger that such species might one day threaten the Great Link. Then that anger simmered into hate for all alien races. And that led to the suffering of countless worlds under the Dominion.

Oh but that would bite y'all in the ass quite swiftly.
The GOP loves the filibuster more than it loves voting NO.
You can only make America great when the conserviturds have no power.
Goodbye, jackoff.

well the implication was that the Russian Government doesn't do maintenance and thus has to spend more on repair. Though do we really need the Cosmodrome? We could and can still rely on ESA (almost said EASA and that's a fictional agency) or JAXA to retrieve the ISS crew.

Or just take the L and realize that people don't fucking talk that way.
A declarative question is leading to a secondary statement that expands on the question you're asking, or to provoke a response.
So what can we glean from this? Simply, that you're being obtuse.

I once had a set of B5 minis. I had never watched and I still haven't. I bought them because it had the Star Fury and I was a kid who really liked Star Wars, and thought it looked like a cool variant on the X-Wing. Didn't know shit about Minbari or Vorlons.
Anyway, I played with them, they broke.

IF, HOWEVER, IT IS A PORTION OF DIALOGUE, then it can be sensible as a question.
"So I heard Barret's been talking to you about Climate Change."
"Barret's been telling me about 'climate change'? I don't know what that is."
But if he's saying it as a preface to a dialogue, it's not a question.

you're not asking if someone is telling you about a thing. You're stating that they've been telling you. You're not questioning that it happened, therefore it should be a statement.
Intonation shouldn't be that of a query.
