[Spoilers] Fintourist and Old Harry have nothing to see here

I haven't read dtay's thread yet, but given that defensive pacts aren't really worth much in terms of real deterrent, maybe it really is just to make people think twice about attacking him since so many people have peaceful trade with Commodore. It'd be a smart play if true, it means that people who want to attack him better make sure they have other traderoutes somewhere, since this map is so strong on trade.
