Not for much. It would certainly help, but it wouldn't turn
"Do you think that the NAC will help the colonies before
they break off?"
"No, if they do the area will degrade into an armed conflict
what will ravage the entire sector, to repair the damage to the
resources what would be destroyed in the fighting would cost
more than what it would take to help them out."
into
"Don't you think that the NAC will help the colonies before
they break off?"
"No--but if they don't the entire sector will ravaged by
armed conflict. And to restore the resources destroyed in the
fighting will cost more than what it would take to help them
out."
(Just an example; I think this is what you're trying to say, but
I'm still not sure.
