[CPF] Portugal, I am sorry.
Randall Flagg 1999
Well I am starting to write this article with no small amount of anger, we will see if publishing this article will help it subside.
As many of you know, the eUK has publically embarked on a policy of expansion through NFLD to attack the Azores.

Their initial NE of us failed causing a number of members of congress to respond in kind out of some delusion that “this will show ‘em”. This is nonsense. All this is doing is placing not only our country at risk, but our ally Portugal as well.
So yes, we have fallen for it. As I write the motion appear ready to pass in 6 hours time. I voted NO and continue to believe that this is both a foolish and rash plan from the executive. Sadly I choose a very poor night to go and see The Hobbit with my friends out of town, but such is life. I now return and find that many congress members whose judgement I trust being played so easily, some it would appear, within my own party.
I will have to crack a few skulls in my party but some of their actions clearly go against the third tenet of this party:
3. Ensure Canada is a reliable and selfless ally
Many will say that by attacking first we will prevent them from reaching NFLD. I am doing my best to respect the 5th tenet by keeping a positive political sphere. But come on folks, do you really believe that the eUK won’t be brining all the Polish and TWO help it can muster?
Under controlled circumstances, war with the eUK can be good for both sides. IT’S CALLED A TRAINING WAR! This is NOT a training war, THEY WANT TO MOVE THROUGH US! This means that their allies will be helping push through us once our attack of the eUK fails.
Today I am ashamed and the rash actions of our government and executive.
Portugal, I am sorry.

Clan Wolf had no idea that this was coming.
On behalf of our party I sincerely apologize !
Because Clan Wolf has no idead whats going on in Canada let alone international
Thankfully, the NE is poised to fail. Currently 23 yes to 9 no, it needs 4 more yes votes to pass - assuming there are no more no votes.
The point it, it should not be this close
MCA421 no need to attack I don't want to argue.
CW knows what is going on, but CW certainly don't have 23 congress members so not just CW but CPF, SoA, MDP and UPC failed all together on this one.
Live a little

Thank you for this announcement Randall
Oh well! If it goes through we'd just better win 😛 And anyway, Portugal itself could easily RW back Azores from the UK and I'm thinking we'd be there helping them with that.
Wilhelm, your math is off. Only 66% of the votes need to be yes, or twice the number of no votes. It is going to pass most likely
Apologies, Portugal!
For sure someone should be on the phone with Portugal though!
We've been in Contact with Portugal since the moment the UK article was made claiming we were on board with just giving them nfl.
Anyways,
Live a little

Voted and shouted
Voted. IDK what our gov is trying to pull right now, but I'm against this war. If for nothing else, it's sure to backfire on us, especially after most of the eUK blew their weapons away on a crappy little TW. This is not mentioning the plain stupidity of attacking Canada in the first place. Last time we fought you guys we ended up wiped 😛
What Ardikus said x2
3. Ensure Canada is reliably boring and free of any excitement
Nice Tenet you got there, be a shame if something were to happen to it.

I still have my vote. I will vote no but it looks like it will pass unless there is someone else still holding.
Voted/shouted
I'm all for getting something exciting going, but a move like this with poor foresight.....
Dirty dirty politics. Shame on you Randall. For those in the future that have access to the CDC, remember this and know not to turn your back on this man's knives.
Not so much a knife as a hard slap upside the head
We will soon find out if people's fears were justified or not. I have got a shit load of weapons just waiting to be blown up. Remember there is a war module in this game for a reason. The dice has been cast, now let's have some fun with it.
I'm with Exalted on this. Ready to burn up my stockpile of bars and bazookas blasting brits out of NFLD. Keep at it for 7 days (or so) and we'll keep the Azores secure.
war is upon us. the NE passed. i guess i should have kept that 8 mill damage i had from the anniversary and plato mission.
Since our NE passed, and the UK's failed, is there any reason we can't hit them before they hit us?
Edmond, the game will actually force us to attack one of their regions if the CP doesn't declare a target within 24 hours.
So yes, we are getting the first hit no matter what.
Plugson, 72. http://www.erepublik.com/en/main/latest-updates
"Therefore new battles will no longer start automatically 24 hours after the previous battle has been won, but 72 hours later."
I suppose in Adminspeak that also means 'new battles started' right?
Mexico has declared Colombia as a Natural Enemy
yesterday
Mexico attacked Caribe e Insular, Colombia
12 hours ago
http://www.erepublik.com/en/main/news/military/Colombia/1
Actually, I think the 24 hour rule still applies to starting a battle. The ones fought after the initial NE declaration are subject to 72 hours.
Just for the record, I voted no.
@ Gunter
What are you talking about? - Check your math...
[removed]
Shouldn't there be a standing rule in the CPF to vote "NO" on any proposals brought forward by Venom III since he's a tool.
Who says we will lose the first battle?
hahahaha
agree with what Exalted said..

Merry Christmas to all eCanadians \o/
i forgive you.
in fact, it would be easier for the portuguese to secure azores from the brits lol
just spain passing the hot potato
We are together! Lets smash these pigs 😉
Hug from Portugal
It is still irrelevant.
In erepublik, there's the big picture, there's the regional picture, and there's countries such as Canada or Portugal. Irrelevance ad infinitum.
Nobody, absolutely nobody, this side of the trench or that side of the trench, gives half a flying faq one way or the other about about Portugal or Canada. Except on very specific moments for drainin dmg purposes.
You Biebers....
Could you Clan Wolf shit eating retards stay out of politics please, no-one ever seems to have a clue how to play this game.
Spain is, again, asking for daddy and his puppets help.
Poor Spain can't stand alone against Portugal, the Giant
