Bargaining chip as in "We'll raze the last hope for humanity unless you yield concession X".
- shiroiushi 2y agoYou're not answering the question. What concession? What do a bunch of old people in the clouds of Venus have to bargain with? What resources do they control?

It's like a criminal that points a gun at your kid and threatens to shoot unless you do X.
