According to ‘The Last Best Hope” novel (which I assume is not canon, but is a reasonable enough source since Beyer was involved), Vashti is in Federation space.
Picard violated the Neutral Zone and chose to resettle Romulans on a Federation planet to which they had been invited by the locals. There was a theme running through the book: the Federation was struggling to hold together a consensus to continue the mission, and Picard was acting unilaterally - ie, violating 100 years of foreign policy - to ‘save lives,’ and leave Clancy et al to hold the mission together at the Federation Council Even if the synth attack on Mars hadn’t happened, it was likely that the mission would e fallen apart anyway.
It has many uses and many definitions. I am using it very consistently and with a definition that I have made clear.
No, not every hero is a Moral Mary Sue. Picard is, but not everyone.
Yes.
It's used all too often and "consistently" in the wrong circumstances.
Attempting to adapt it to ones personal grievances makes it even less relevant.
It is the first time I have actually. I am not sure if you know what a Showrunner means, but it means that no script, no line, and no plot goes thru without her/his approval. So no, I do not blame that weeks writer. I blame their boss. The boss of the show.Kurtzman IS NOT WRITING THIS SHOW.
Please get the Hell off that boat, it capsized a long time ago and you're just floundering in murky water.
Every time you post this you completely destroy any good will that folks might have had for your reasoning.
It fits perfectly here.
from now on I will very constantly use the word "foot" with the definition of "thing I put on my nose so I can see better" and no one can tell me I'm using it wrong!
Well, that's a boldface inaccuracy, you've thrown Mr. Kurtzman's name out there on several occasions.
And your wrong, Mr. Kurtzman oversees the entire franchise now, with a cursory involvement in each individual show.
He relies on the folks he has hired for the day to day decisions and writing of individual episodes.
He does have final say if he thinks something doesn't gel with the overall scope of the IP, but I very much doubt he goes around nit-picking the way you think.

Not at all. He is responsible here though.
but he made it very clear how he defines Kurtzman and very constantly uses Kurtzman that way
unfortunately i do
No, he is the Executive Producer of ST Picard. Were you actually unaware of that? Apparently some are.
That seems pretty unlikely - A warlord running a sector in Federation space? Regardless of how the Federation feels about the romuleans - I cannot see that.
It is more likely that given what we know about upcoming episodes that it is just beyond the federation border.
Just like there is no on-screen evidence of a USS Verity (unless I missed it) - I would ignore this unless something on screen confirms it.

MULTI-QUOTE!!!
And some think they do, but really aren't aware of what that actually entails.
Continually attempting to adapt it to their faulty reasoning.
Wouldn't that put Vashti in the Neutral Zone?
1. Repeatedly incorrect usage of an inflammatory term, Mary Sue.
2. Lack of understanding of leadership principles.
3. Willful ignorance of morality and ethics (ignoring even the Golden Rule).
4. Scaremongering Alex Kurtzman.
Am I missing anything?
