Main Article
For the past month or so, the United States has been partaking in war games with Mexico and, as of a few days ago, Ireland. These have helped the United States in a number of ways, increasing production, training the lower ranks of our military, and strengthening relations with our war game partners. But is this what the United States should be focusing on?
NO. The United States has the largest population in the game, and yet it is not involved in ONE (1) real war. As a matter of fact, it never has been really. Canada was a joke, France was half-hearted, Portugal was poorly planned, and Mexico was a complete disaster. In the meantime, Romania, a country that IRL is hardly of much note (no offense to my Romanian readers), has an empire the size of Alexander the Great's. See something wrong here?
The United States could be completely dominating if its leaders had any real stomach and smarts for waging a war. Why would you attack Canada, a friend, or Mexico, which has no resources or people in it? France is hardly anything to go to war over, and Portugal is Spain's problem. America needs to go overseas.
Russia is the prime target. They have been on their heels ever since their country was created, and if the United States invaded, we would be at the doorstep of Asia (as well as having high diamond resources). Our hordes of relatively weak soldiers could crush any 1337 squads sent in to protect sickly Russia or the puppet state of China. MPPs would be a factor, but if America's leaders coordinate things effectively we could get around those obstacles.
Why should America get involved in war? What's wrong with war games, you may ask.
First off, nothing REAL is gained. The U.S. and her allies don't gain new territories, only battle experience. It's like playing cops and robbers with your friends, ignoring the real robbers out there.
Indonesia hasn't gone to her allies looking for battle buddies, she's conquered Asia and moving West, as far west as South Africa. Neither has Romania, who is currently fighting a 5v1 fight and losing as of late.
This brings me to the topic of Romania, and Romania's relationship with the United States. Romania, like Indonesia, has done many bad things in the past (TOs, bug exploitation, etc), but they are our ally. Romania has also helped many nations in the past (including the most recent TO attempt on South Africa), so they are not all bad.
The reason why Romania is struggling now is because she is all alone. Romania has absolutely no help, and is still able to hold her own with some finesse. Imagine if the United States came to help, to divert Russian and Chinese forces away from the Romanian front, letting Romania push back against her other foes. This would essentially divide the world up between US and Romanian armies.
The fear with this scenario is then: what if Romania continues expanding? What happens when Indonesia and Hungary fall? Such fears are silly.
The entire world would unite against Romania. Not even the mighty Romanians could defeat the now friendly Indonesian tanks (who would fight against Romania from other countries) along with the rest of ATLANTIS. But I digress.
What we need to be afraid of is the current moment. Of the possibility of Romania falling, the only dam that is holding back the PEACE tide from flooding into the rest of the world. The United States needs to get over its fear of losing a war and start getting its boots dirty.
Scrabman, get the United States out of the sandbox and into the dust storm. There might not be much left outside the sandbox if you just continue sitting there, making imaginary castles with the Irish...

Well said, we're waiting for you guys for some time now...
We have an Empire because we set goals and objectives and we were always at war. War is part of this game and if you don't go to war, you can't say you played the game.
Like you said, we're fighting 5v1, or should is say it, all of PEACE v 1, which is kind of hard, even with the large numbers of Atlantis soldiers in our country, we still get blocked by PEACE countries.
If Atlantis in a coordinated effort attacked other PEACE GC countries, Atlantis would win !

Maybe some Americans will see it and start taking action.
I totally agree!
We are talking about the Mighty United States of America here. The Irish(UK) game wars are pretty lame. You should enjoy a real war! You are the country with the most population. The Atlantis, your allies are fighting Peace. You sent many troupes overseas and we are grateful and thank you for that.
But besides that we are waiting you to show the world what eUS is made of.
Show the world that you are a dominating power and a proud member of Atlantis!
nicely, yet acidly put 🙂
"The reason why Romania is struggling now is because she is all alone. Romania has absolutely no help"
Is this why when I look at battle histories I see US Marines, Croatians, Poles, Finns, Swedes, Canadians....
The US is not going to blindly charge into Asia activating all of Russia's MPP's. A Romanian with plenty of military experience once told me, "we (Romanians) don't activate MPP's unless we know we can completely conquer the country." Why would Romanians expect us to do what Romanian strategists counsel against?
Eugene: they dont. This is rather an acid 'direct hit' at the eUS government, more than a "you dont do anything" article. WE DO KNOW that plenty of eUS marines are stationed here, and we DO SEE their damage in each and every battle. We know that polish, norwegians, swedish and croats are here too, however...WE NEED much more, apparently.
The fact of the matter is that we are blocked by 3 or 4 countries and unless our allies start attacking and thus blocking those countries from blocking us we CANNOT continue our campaign.
Even if we have all of Atlantis in eRomania we still can't do anything if we're attacked by 3 or 4 countries, why? Because that's how the game works, if you're attacked, you cannot attack.
I hope this clarifies the need for articles like this one.

"Romania has also helped many nations in the past (including the most recent TO attempt on South Africa), so they are not all bad."
Can you mentioned the others?
Which country they helped?
Argentina?
Russia?
Pakistan?
Singapore?
If you can say the others, you can say "they are not all bad"
If not, you must change that title and say, "they are bad, but they are our friend"
Thank you...
English speaking eNations are pretty pathetic in this game fullstop. I must say as somebody from a English speaking country that it's pretty embarrassing really.
It is so at the moment.. but in the long run who ever has largest population should dominate in this game.
eUSA need a ePearl Harbour 😁
good point MickeyD....
Eugene Harlot:
If you'd attack Russia, the worst that could happen is you don't win the battles, but you block them from blocking us when we fight others! And secondly, yes, you activate their MPPs, but guess who's busy fighting their MPPs... 😉)
i think the usa has decided to let us get squished becuase we are number one and they are number 4... some allies
"In the meantime, Romania, a country that IRL is hardly of much note (no offense to my Romanian readers), has an empire the size of Alexander the Great's. See something wrong here?"
No! There's nothing wrong! We have that eEmpire because we deserve it!
eRomania has an empire because they're constantly fighting wars, so players who are tired of their pacifist homelands (I'm looking at you, eCanada!) emmigrate to eRomania so they can enlist.
Masila we helped with anti-TOs in the baltics in Moldova in South Africa, we gave our allies (Poland) a high grain region because they needed it, we helped in the liberation of Greece, we helped Spain in Sardinia and many other things... so stop your BS propaganda... yes we did TO-s (not at the rate Hungary is doing them tho) and yes we conquered some countries that had like 10 population(Ukraine Russia) the rest was just one big war against hungary and indonesia.. you can't blame us for conquering the lands of our enemies.
So how is Romania that bad? and how is PEACE that much better? with nothing...
anyway good article and we're really looking forward to some help from the USA.
and one more time to all the soldiers from the USA and other countries fighting for us, we thank you all and we're all really grateful for that, what you need to understand is that, the problem isn't the number of soldiers your countries sent to us.. the problem is no matter how many we have we cannot fight aganst 5 fronts and we cannot fight when we're blocked 24/7, that's why we need your countries to attack our foes and step into this war.. because otherwise no matter if you sent 100 or 200 soldiers here we can't do anything under the current circumstances.
USA is known as a proud county, and the players in eUSA are actualy real human players from the most powerfull country in the world!! I can not understand how can they be so afraid, of a game...Think, people, it is a game and you should risk a little bit. No one can defeat USA an Romania togheter in this game, just do some maths...
