The one real weird inconsistency that kind of bugged me.

Spoiler!

The whole line about the Romulan's being the Federation's oldest enemy and that saving them would waste resources.


I don't know whether it was intentionally done to make the Federation and its citizens look awful.


But the Romulan's jumped in during the dominion war and played a huge role in the victory including giving a cloaking device for the defiant, and showing up to help defend DS9 and take a key part in the final invasion.


At the end of the terrible Nemesis the Romulans turned on their leader to try to save the Enterprise and defeat a crazed leader who wanted to destroy earth.


I don't know if this was a matter of the writers just not paying attention, or if they wanted to make the Federation look especially horrible and corrupt.
