Yeah, after thinking about it, his entire line of thinking is a little bit too convenient for him. He seems to 'forget' that Barrayar has done its fair
share of waging war, including those little expeditions to Komarr and Escobar. In Komarr's case, a fair amount of the reasoning has to deal with securing
the wormhole. Manticore itself has several termini where it's not in control and several termini where it shares security arrangements with as in the case
with Gregor ... B, I think.
Miles just kicked off the war - at least with Honor and Grayson - early. If Honor's -really- mean, she'll "accidentally" lose several million
tons of shipping in Komarr and leak the linkage between Naismith and Vorkosigan to Jackson's Whole and Cetaganda.
When she shows up at Barrayar with fleet, Marines, and divorce papers, she'll probably also convey the new Komarran government's declaration of
independence. On her way out, she could even mine the wormhole to kingdom come.
