Not stop them, no. They've already figured out how to make the technology, and that information is sitting in someone's brain or written down somewhere. But it at least sets them back.
[ Maybe some wouldn't consider that enough to be worth all the risk, but Steve's used to fighting wars like this. He'd taken out plenty of Hydra bases in the hopes that it would make some sort of difference, that it would save even a few lives. Sometimes it's a matter of death by a thousand cuts, and while he doesn't want to completely dismantle the Free Cities' military, he also doesn't want them to get so powerful that they conquer the other territories.
That, and it had been personal for him. He and Geralt had watched as soldiers hauled the corpse of the Thunderjaw away, and even back then they'd known what was coming.
He just wishes his best work didn't continue to be after the fact. ]
I'll keep an eye on him. I'm presenting it like this was all my idea and he was just following my lead, which is true, so hopefully he'll get a milder sentence.
He knew what he was signing up for, though. He'll be alright.
