How President Jewitt and the Entrenched US Political Elite Betrayed America
Arjay Phoenician
I have to call it like I see it.
The formal launch of the American invasion of Japan occurred nearly simultaneously with the UK’s successful capture of several eastern states and the expansion of their invasion. While the country was beating the wardrum high and hard for Japan, the Atlantic states are quickly being gobbled up by the UK.
I know this is some sort of “plan” concocted by the entrenched political elite, but it’s a pretty stupid plan.
It’s actually the plan Indonesia employed this summer. While they were spending their money and weapons in their assault of the US, their military leaders were telling their citizens to forget about the resistance wars in their Chinese regions. They were willing to allow their empire to fall apart in their hope to conquer the US.
This is actually more sinister than the Indonesian plot was, because to forsake New England in the name of bloodlust over Japan, the current American political elite betrayed the American people.
The first and foremost responsibility of any government is to protect its sovereignty. Period. No government is worth a damn if it can’t do that much.
In the case of the eUS, it’s worse, because the country has the means, the population, and the resources to thwart the UK’s invasion, and the government has CHOSEN NOT TO.
Now, expect in the comments of this article a long laundry list of insults. Arjay, you don’t know the whole story. Arjay is a propagandist for PHOENIX and PEACE. Arjay is a liar liar pants on fire. Arjay is naïve and strange and oh isn’t his name similar to that of Ajay’s?
It doesn’t matter, because I have to say this. The current American political elite, the established suits who have been in power for months and months, have concocted a hair-brained scheme to take Kyushu, the “doorway to Asia”, and in the process allowed several eastern states to be conquered by the United Kingdom.
Just let that sit in your craw and simmer for a bit. American regions in English hands, hopefully momentarily, but truly, forsaken by the government and military, for the sake of the invasion of a country which posed no threat to the US.
How many hundreds, perhaps thousands, of American citizens are going to come to eRepublik today, only to discover they live in the UK, because the government thought so little of their regions that it could ignore them for the sake of bloodlust?
How many businesses are now defunct because of this government’s horrible strategy?
Americans can be mad at countries like Indonesia, Portugal, Colombia, and Russia for nearly wiping them off the map this summer, but this time around, Americans have no right to be mad at the UK. None at all. Jewitt ran a campaign, saying he would attack the UK, and whether it was a joke or not, the UK are now in America, and God knows how much of PHOENIX as well.
The Jewitt administration jeopardized American sovereignty for the sake of the “fun” of attacking Japan.
The Jewitt administration and the entrenched American political elite are to blame for the loss of New England states. The Congressmen in those states were elected to represent the people therein, they best be screaming bloody murder right now in the eUS Forums if they give a damn at all about the people that elected them and the region they call home.
And before I forget, I realize this is a game of possum being played, that the US government is allowing the PHOENIX invasion to happen—ALLOWING IT TO HAPPEN, FOLKS!—for reasons entirely their own. Their effort is in Japan, not in New England. This is a very dangerous game being played here, a game that didn’t have to be played. In the estimation of a lot of people, including me, America was DAMN LUCKY to not have to fight the Battle of Florida, their last state, and it’s a failure of geographical planning that cut Florida off from Indonesia and Russia, the truce with Portugal being the saving grace. Rest assured, they won’t make the same mistake again.
The job of the AMERICAN government is to protect AMERICANS and AMERICAN TERRITORY, not to play Caped Crusader and “liberate” regions on the other side of the e-planet.
The entrenched American political elite need to be rooted out and cast off. This time around, Americans have no right in the world to be angry with the UK, they knew the UK was a menace, they saw the UK attacking the Atlantic coast in recent weeks, and for the government to turn its attention to Japan and the “liberation” of iron-rich Chinese regions is evidence that this entire generation of bureaucrats either do not understand the primary function of government, or they care so little about American sovereignty that they allow it to be violated in the name of “fun” in Japan.
Contact members of Congress and demand they push for the impeachment of President Jewitt and the resignation of his top officials. They don’t deserve to be in power, if THIS is their idea of good governance.

first and stop it
Voted - very good
Wow, its not even good propaganda.
really? do you understand initiative and MPPs at all?
At least I'm happy your sub count is going down because of this nonsense you've been writing. It is increasingly verging on outright lies instead of half-truths.
The stated aims of the eUSA invasion is to "liberate east Asia" from European colonial powers, most notably Heilongjiang. We eJapanese do not want to see foreign colonies in our neighbors' territory either, but we have heard nothing from the eUSA leadership about liberating eSouth Korea from the totalitarian Theocratic (check eSK's tax structure to see what I mean) occupation. I guess it's because eSouth Korea does not have useful high resource regions.
It is a shame they chose to invade us to get to Asia as well. After the coerced Kyushu land swap which almost no one in eJapan supported, we vowed "Never Again." eIndo was wrong to force it back then, the eUSA is wrong to force it now.
Dude ... give it a rest ... the first few articles were interesting and good reads, but its a bit overboard now
If your living in New england Suck it up and move I did and im a proud rl New englander.
It doesnt matter its a game a region is a region we lost those regions so we could attack Japan The UK was a blocking fail.
Canada is already retaking Pennsylvanian and the other will come back soon they arent that important. PA has wood the rest have little besides NJ which has some companies other than that the NE is pretty much useless as a region
This article was for lulz...right?
Arjay, while I do enjoy your writing style and consider you to be one of the more articulate authors around, the amount of bias present here is far above and beyond anything I have seen from you. This seems to be just a trolling article to sow dissent and confusion in the eUS.
The US retreated from the UK battles because, due to game mechanics, they can't attack while being attacked. That is the only reason. To say that they don't care about those regions is completely untrue. If that were the case, why is Canada helping to retake Pennsylvania right now? Because we care about our Bros' sovereignty.
When I first heard of the declaration of war on Japan, I was a little perturbed...however, having had access to the information available I am quite satisfied with this course of action.
If they had needed to, I would have pushed to allow them to landswap with us...though I doubt our President would need any prodding.

this is a strategy game. a massive, internet strategy, which happens to have real life countries and governments mixed in which run the whole thing. sometimes in a strategy game you need to lose regions to gain (in this case free) regions. ignore the oncoming threat to take out the enemy at their knees and help up your own team mates at the same time. THATS why were focusing on invading japan, not fighting off the brits.
This piece is propaganda, do not listen to it.
We retreated the eastern states as a strategic move, the English won't hold them when we actually want them back. 😃
I STAND READY TO KILL REDCOATS
Kita makes a good point.
ITA: butthurt.
You're silly.
Unfortunately, Mr. Phoenician doesn't seem to understand military strategy in the slightest.
Where do you get the time for all this crap?
Please stop writing.
America retreated from the NE states in an effort to keep our main attack in Japan. This Funnels the two clickers attacks into Japan and not losing damage on battles clearly used as a diversion. I support this strategic move made by the Jewitt Administration.
amateur
From a neutral standpoint (I'm Irish) I beleive that your attack on Japan is not the best action to take and Arjay has every right to want President Jewitt to be impeached he ran as a joke lost and within 2 days lost 6 regions and started a very conterversal war to "liberate" China if there was the population and the will to free themselves there wounldn't be no need to go through Japan to sort it out.
My opinion of the US has gone down the past 2 days and I moved to the UK to fight as a distraction in support of Japan.
Bring Back Josh Frost
The Chinese regions were lost after they were pushed out of NA
old saying goes: He who defends everything, defends nothing.
Saying that a govt has to defend every last piece of territory is stupid.
Please, don't waste your time.
This has been put on the Allied Hotsheet.

Wow...This is a lesson on how to dig a hole for one's self.
And also you have been in no military as far as i know so what gives you the experience to talk strategy
Last time I checked, the US is losing on both fronts. It was perfectly attainable for the US to protect both fronts, but chose not to. Now the US lost some of the eastern seaboard and has really not gained anything in Asia. Canada is not making grounds on reclaiming the UK caputured territory either.
If the administration is truly focused on succeeding, it had better plan a lot smarter than just beating the high drum.
Sorry, but this article is pretty bad. You don't take military strategy into account AT ALL.
Where do you get the time for all this crap?x2
The reasons they are retreating is so we can gain the initiative that was needed to attack Kyushu. Please learn game mechanics before you put both feet in your mouth and faceplant in the mud.
what Telonicus said
Cannada Will get our states back so we can invade Japan (good lord!)
you suck?
you suck?
Um. No. UK presents no real threat. They know it. They're only trying to block. It's not about 'caring' about a region, okay? It's a strategy game.
Someone doesn't know jack about military tactics in Erepublik. You should delete your account.
Your propaganda makes me sick and screams of idiocracy... Go away you dumbf**k
You should change the name of your newspaper to "Grain of Salt" so you clearly indicate with how much the reader should take it.
I yawned. Arjay *does* understand MPPs and initiative, he just prefers to play dumb when it suits his rhetoric. And then spend gold advertising it. - Quanah Parker
With all respect for those who I don't agree with, the "tactics" used here are proving to be quite the compost heap. Canada is most probably not going to win back much, if anything at all and there's really no need to point out how the fight is going in the first wave for the invasion of Japanese territory.
Do note that China is helping Japan defend itself, even though the US promised to help liberate some of their territories. This fact kinda speaks for how wrong it was to attempt going through Japan, I think.
How about before you go making groundless, outrageous, and ridiculous acusations, you do a little background research?

If I had read this article two days ago, I would have subbed/voted.
Exactly what I said and people flamed the s**t out of me. Expect to get negative comments from people defending there country, because since its America is HAS to be perfect right?
THANK YOU! I AGREE 100% AND IM AS AMERICA AS IT GETS!
I have 300 GOLD loan out from banks right now paying off my NOW DEFUNCT Q5 Weapons company in New Jersey! Now what the hell am I supposed to do? My salary costs are $300 per day and I can't sell in the USA or Spain, the only 2 places I can make ANY sort of money to profit & pay off my loans & employees.
Thanks Jewitt, you are a true disgrace to the American people and you obviously don't give a crap that your ruining the game for me and hundreds of business owners on the east coast. Not everyone can just use a credit card to buy gold...
Stop complaing cannada will get them states back
Silly bitch, your bullshit can not harm me - DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
I'M THE ABOVE-AVERAGE AMERICAN MIND, BITCH!
Seriously though.
Arjay your just an hater man, at least Jewiit is doing something. Unlike, Frost (That lame duck) lolz.
He was voted in by majority. Deal with it. Awful critical after two whole days in the job. All this article will do is unite people behind Jewitt.
And as far as our regions go, we will get them right back. Only now I feel like we should keep on going.
You are not very bright.... Exit game and enter cardboard box
Yankee go home!
