America’s Southeast Asian Holdings Invaded by Indonesia
After netting a major victory earlier this week – pushing Serbia, a major member of Phoenix and a longtime Asian invader, back into Europe – America is not yet safe in Asia. This weekend, Indonesia attacked two regions the U.S. currently holds in southeast Asia. One is Southern Thailand, which came down to the final mini-battle to decide; the other is Peninsular Malaysia, which Indonesia just claimed with little resistance. Meanwhile, a resistance war has opened in Sarawak, from which America attacked Sabah, Serbia’s last Asian region. It’s unclear what the intentions of both sides are with this battle; a good possibility is this is a training battle.
Also going on is a resistance war in Tamil Nadu. It has been confirmed that America is returning the region back to India, its original owner. There is a strong likelihood that Kerala, another U.S.-owned region that lies next to Tamil Nadu, will also be handed back to the Indians.
In summary, this weekend’s events seem to imply that America is making a withdrawal from southern Asia, now that Phoenix-backed invaders Serbia and Hungary have been eliminated from the area. However, it’s unlikely that new President Alexander Hamilton will completely withdraw from the area. Although his presidency will probably focus on completing a total invasion of Russia, it would be prudent to have some holdings in southern Asia in case there are other Phoenix invasions; or if a future president opts to invade Indonesia. (Don’t rule out the latter happening any time soon: the closeness of the Southern Thailand battle may foreshadow epic battles in the future.)

excellent, Big Dave.
maybe.. just a guess.. the USA returns regions to India so Pakistan can take them.. avoid having the US vs Pakistan over the regions, which would confuse a lot of 2-clickers.
Hello my name is Dave Richards and I would like to run for president in the next 5 months.
@Custer: I suppose that's possible. Though it seems the implication between both the Indian and Malaysian RWs is a full withdrawl.
not withdrawing.. but lost the battle...
