other major powers know what you are buying you are also letting
them know how long it will take for your reinforcements to
arrive.  This is an unfair advantage to a major power{ even
though I realize that it will apply to everyone equally}.
    I also feel that loans should be done privately.  In reality
financial support may be given to a group or country even as that
same group or country are denounced publicly.  We should recreate
that option in our game.
