What happened when we found out there was no WMDs in Iraq?
A lot of people got mad, made some of the officials responsible sweat, everyone swore they relied on what they thought was credible intelligence, and by then we were knee deep in Iraq so the whole issue was moot anyway.
I can imagine some UFP internal inquiries being made, maybe a few scapegoats getting fired but not much else happening. Even if the Romulans find out they were duped they probably wuldn't want to admit it publicly.
What happens when the Romulans learn they've been tricked?

They MAY just respect the UFP a bit more. Because they pulled a beautiful scheme that would have been worthy of a Romulan.

They look like Phyllis Diller,

Yea.. but I agree with Mark that someone, somewhere in a position of authority may remember that the Federation can play dirty too next time they start plotting things. Like assassinating Klingon governors or feeding a defector false information or...."All this has happened before --"
"But it doesn't have to happen again. Not if we make up our minds to change. Take a different path. Right here, right now."

Or they can just raise their level of effort somewhat to come up with dastardly, nefarious plans that...well, work! 8)Sonic Glitch wrote:Mikey wrote:Yeah, that's probably what they would think. *cough*bullshit*cough*Mark wrote:They MAY just respect the UFP a bit more.
