Depends on the threat level, I imagine. If it is manageable, Bradley would most likely try his best to either size control for his own purposes or destroy it so it doesn't become an obstacle later on. If the threat is too much for his empire to handle, he would probably try to lure it away from his plans or failing that to keep his empire away from it.
