Our options seem rather limited. Neither region has issue against us, but we're merely in the way of the inevitable and that's an inconvenience that will makes us an enemy of both if we're not careful. We can continue to delay, but is there a way to diffuse the situation entirely?
If we continue to hold them both out, then they're not going to be so kind when they charge in uninvited. And I worry about lacking the forces to fight from both directions to secure our borders. But if we allow one safe passage, we surely risk enraging the other.
