Stand Proud, Brothers!

Our loathsome neighbors to the south have had enough of our kicking their doors in every time they leave the house. They come to us with terms of peace.
"Quit RWing our iron and saltpeter 🙁
"
It saddens me that this situation has devolved to the point where it must be solved with diplomacy. We've all enjoyed the fighting and constant war. We've earned some medals and had some laughs and bathed in sweet Yankee blood. And it appears that we've worn them down.
Their terms will almost certainly include continued American occupation of Quebec and British Columbia, in order to maintain their precious resource bonus. But that is not all they will demand of us. I guarantee it.
They also want to tell us who we can have as friends.
Unacceptable. Goodness knows I am the last person anyone would want to put in charge of diplomacy, but I have a few terms that I firmly believe should be part of the peace deal.
1. The eUSA government must accept that they have no say in our foreign policy-making when dealing with any other country except eUSA. If we wanted Americans writing our laws and choosing our allies, we would have elected them into our government. We ally with eSerbia because eSerbia stands opposed to our historic enemies. We don't tell them they must sever ties with SPoland and SIRIUS, because it's not our god-pounding business. If eUSA doesn't like it, they can go stuff themselves, and the war can continue. Non-negotiable.
"They still have ties with a different alliance than us? Screw that, I'm out!"
2. Wild Owl must issue a formal apology to all of eCanada. Not for the war - the war has been excellent fun all around - but for his treachery, libelous comments made in his presidential addresses, and encouragement of anti-Canadian sentiment amongst his people. This would also be non-negotiable.
Wild Owl, speaking to Rylde.
3. The price for Quebec and British Columbia must be suitably high. Their occupation of Quebec cuts our Maritime provinces off from the rest of the country, and deprives us of iron. In return, they pay exorbitant rent, or trade Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York to create a "land bridge" for our Maritime provinces. And for BC, we'll take Alaska. This would be our opening bid, but we'd be willing to take more from them should they choose to haggle.
eSpain has been far more reasonable in their acceptance of Canadian glory. All they ask in return for restoring our lands to us is to help them relocate their capital. These are terms that even I, a die-hard eSpaniard-hater, can accept.
Stand proud, patriots! We wore the bastards down!

Apologies always come back to haunt
Are you not the guy that started the rebellion a few months ago to fully kick Spain out of the country? Where did your balls go? Did they fall off? I didnt vote in this loser. I want a real man in the CP chair.
I weep for the future of our country when people like you can't smell the clear victory that has been cooked up for them.
We fought. We won. The enemy is suing for peace and wants to pay their tab.
Why not instead make so hellish for them that they never attack us again? Why let them take the easy way out and give them what they want?
They will learn nothing.

Nobody is "giving" anybody anything. The Americans have already taken what they wanted. A deal now would make them pay for it. Are you being deliberately obtuse, or are you genuinely this ignorant?
Insults only show you have given up and agree with me. It is easier to accept a pity gift than it is to fight them and make it not worth their while to stay. Words from old Rylde, the one we voted in. If we keep fighting them and they have to spend all their energy and time focusing on us we will see victory.
That's a hell of a leap in logic. I agree that we cannot make this deal, but not because it would make us "sell-outs" or turn us into a puppet state. We cannot make this deal because of people like you, who apparently wouldn't recognize victory if it came up and kicked you square in the gonads.
And, again, no one is giving them anything. If you own an apartment building and you rent out one of the apartments, are you giving it away to your tenant? Please think.
Wow great. We are starting to fight with ourselves now...
"Starting"? In-fighting is a proud Canadian tradition. Just wait until you see what happens during peace-time... if that ever happens.
Man you're really pushing this apology.... give it up already, it won't happen.
"Goodness knows I am the last person anyone would want to put in charge of diplomacy..."
Which part of that do you need explained?
Your quote has nothing to do with my issue you're just being horribly stubborn on that issue. Much like most eCanadians are about not allowing the eUS to dictate our foreign policy. Except you're being stubborn over a childish simple apology that will never happen
Tell me you disagree that he should apologize. Of course it won't happen. But it damn well should.
Good article.
All this talk about handing over regions for peace, what bullshit - while we are still their enemy they are of less use to their allies and they cannot push their weight in major battles while we RW the precious 10/10
Nothing should be offered in return for peace.
What about our allies who need our full support? Can we give that to them when we are dumping our every last dime into RWing the same three regions over and over and over?
No one is simply handing over the keys to the territories and saying, "Enjoy!" They pay for the regions. A lot. Monthly.
How about we worry about ourselves before we worry about others? mmmk?
. . . Do you even understand the function of an alliance? Please educate yourself.
