Selling out to our enemies!
DMV3
Rylde announced in his newest article that he was currently engaged in negotiations with the eUS to give up our sovereign territories of Quebec and British Columbia for terms that were being negotiated. This is either the act of a defeatist President giving in to our enemies or clear change in Canadian Foreign Policy, either of which are clear signs that our President is out of touch with the vast majority of Canadians.
Our President has stated he was approached by the US about a deal to trade our territories for payment by the US, but let's not forget the US entered this conflict needlessly and betrayed our nation for their own gain. By giving the US control of territories we're giving them exactly what they have wanted from the beginning, our resources.
An equitable arrangement is built upon friendship and respect, two things this deal lacks. If the US (an enemy) had approached us about renting territories outside of an invasion we would have laughed in their faces. So why are we considering selling our territories to the enemy after they invaded us? Under no circumstances should we be giving up while we have our enemy on the ropes.
War
I realize this war has been costly, but the Canadian people have shown their resolve in the face of adversity and I believe they will continue to do so for as long as is necessary to show our enemies we can not be pushed around. It is my belief that the Canadian people should not give into a bully and we should not sell out to our enemies.
It is my belief that the short-term losses we may experience financially can and will be offset by the growth and morale boost we have experienced and are likely to continue to experience as a result of this war. This war gives us a chance to to possibly create a baby boom and help with retention rates if we focus on off site recruitment. Those things will only happen if our President has the sense to tell the US where to stick their offer.

Sometimes War is the only proper answer.
"A bad peace is even worse than war"
Agreed
atm we're still waiting on the terms of peace and keeping war on the table of possibilities.

Enjoy your CP medals, McVicker.
We have not even seen the offer yet. I for one will make my decision on the facts, not emotion.
Good luck DMV. o7
War! What else is there?
DMV is starting to sound more and more like the CP we need. Rylde has lost his balls and is only a shadow of who he was a few months ago when he lead the rebellion against Spain to push them out.
I voted for a man that would have the chops to keep us in war after war until we force our way to the top. Not this chicken that is ready to sell out for the first offer he gets. Only now are we starting to make an impact and this guy is ready to throw in the towel and hop in bed with the enemy.
Why not grow your balls back and let us finish this or GTFO. Men only need apply.
Rylde's balls won us our war. The Spaniards want to go home now, and the Americans want to pay us. Please think before allowing your knee to jerk thusly.
We have not won. We annoyed them enough to want out and we are instantly throwing our hands up agreeing that we do not want to bother them any longer. We are sorry and we will make a deal so they can live in OUR land that we fought so hard for only months ago.
Fortune favors the bold. You and your weak so called "leaders" can GTFO. We voted in a war machine, not a chicken #&*$.
"Annoying them enough to want out" was the entire point. We are getting our lands back. It takes a special kind of pigheaded blindness not to see victory in that.
No. They are not leaving. They want 2 of our land and it looks like we are more than happy to rent them out. Do you even know what is going in within this country?
"They want" != "they are being given, free and clear"
Currently, they already have that land. By the terms of a rental agreement, we would be getting something in return for it, instead of nothing at all. Which is what we are getting now. Think it through.
How much damage have you laid down the past couple of weeks? How much have you donated to the war cause?
As someone who has put forth effort, time and resources I'd like to at least see what they have to offer. We have given up nothing, agreed to nothing and hardly surrendered. What is so bad about waiting for the offer?
Perhaps people should wait and see what the actual peace terms are before ranting and raving....
The Spain deal looks excellent.
I think the biggest fault I see is the way in Rylde reported this possible deal. Mentioning what we would give up without any discussion of what the compensation actually is just makes the deal look bad before a formal offer even made...
But a poorly worded disclosure is better than none at all.
I look forward to seeing what the American offer is and how we respond.
The American government hates Rylde more than any othe Canadian, if you think their offer is going to be anything less than insulting you're wrong.
Well then it will be war... Still have to play out the process and wait to see what happens
If the offer is insulting, we keep fighting. The reason they hate him is because he beat them.
If it is insulting offer then your worries will be over, Rylde will never agree. That is why the discussion at this point is so premature.
Love this statement.
" US entered this conflict needlessly and betrayed our nation for their own gain. By giving the US control of territories we're giving them exactly what they have wanted from the beginning, our resources."
Thats a lot like whats going on in the world right now in RL ,resources resources resources
baby boom ROFL who would join this retarded game. Damage inflation is out of control and everything fun that was here when i started has been dumbed down or removed. The only reason old fags stay here at all is addiction!
If your such an awesome presidential candidate i look forward to seeing CO's sponsored by DMV's whorehouse.....
Otherwise a humorous role playing article.
You act as if I haven't spent millions in cc for Canada over the last year to help when it was needed. During Homer's terms I spent easily a million cc just on Merced and giving out weapons to people to fight for Canada despite being a US citizen at that time
For the record I actually support Rylde as a war President, i would even go so far as to say he's one of the best war time Presidents I have ever witnessed in this game. I went so far as to volunteer ton help him this term which is a huge sign of respect when you look at our past interactions. This however is not about war it's about caving to the enemy. I know he is worried about funding the war long term, but any deal right now is a bad idea
Caving to the enemy.... we beat them and now they're trying to leave. The Americans want to rent from us because they realize they can't simply keep sitting on our chests indefinitely without getting punched in the scrotum every time they try to get up to do something else.
Peace.... NO PEACE....
War now. War always. eRep is a fight button. That's the game, people. a red button with the word "fight" written on it.
The only people who really care about what little flags flank each side of the fight button are people who care way too much about eRepublik. The fact that they care makes me want to press the fight button even more. If your dreams are to be relevant in eRepublik, politically or militarily, you are an idiot and you deserve no quarter.
"The fact that they care makes me want to press the fight button even more. If your dreams are to be relevant in eRepublik, politically or militarily, you are an idiot and you deserve no quarter."
Then... what was the point of you posting anything at all in a political debate?
Which part don't you get? I will use smaller words next time.
You clamor for more war and condemn the peace proposal yet offer no solution the problem, how we can continue to fight and finance a losing war. The fact of the matter is we lost and are going to continue to lose. The fact of the matter is that we are going broke, and fast. Yet you choose rhetoric over an actual logical solution like Rylde presents.
Fighting on is the solution, Canadians have been very generous with their help for the war effort. We're not losing the war, that is a defeatist attitude.
We can only fight on for so long. You can call it defeatist if you want but what it is is realistic. We can only be generous for so long. You may not want to believe that we lost but its the truth, look at the map.
"We're not losing the war, that is a defeatist attitude."
Correct. We won the war. The enemy is leaving and offering us money.
Eh, you've been away for a while, sir. The map tells only a fraction of the story at this point. The enemy is leaving, but they are not out yet.
I've never heard of the almost completely occupied country winning the war, but maybe our definitions are different. The enemy is leaving by choice, it's foolish to think we won this war.
The goal was to harass the enemy until the enemy left out of frustration and annoyance. The enemy is leaving, frustrated and annoyed with us. The goal is accomplished. In other words, we won.
If you want to believe we won and that's our reason to leave the war, go ahead. I feel we should leave the war because we have lost and its costly. Either way we both agree for peace.
Sir, you defame me. "Peace," FAH!
So much discussion and waffle over an agreement we haven't even seen yet.
Lol. I'm just going to jump on the band wagon for this one...
MOOOOAAARRRR WAAAARRR!!!!!!
lol Now I see what you're up to.
War is OK but DMV I've had enough of.
Move back to the US trickster.
I can't move back I'm blacklisted
