Join the new world

It's been planned since the Gaius Julius Administration three months ago; it's not just Jewitt's war, it's the war of the entire eUS military leadership and last couple of executive branch leaders.

I haz article similar;
I agree completly with you.

We are not invading Japan for land or resources. It is to get to Indonesia and use our MPPs to our advantage. We might even be able to deprive Hungary of their beloved high iron region. We can free Corea from Japan and Russia without activating more MPPs. We can restore China and India. When you say he deceived us I imagine you're referring to his 3 day 'promise' to invade the UK, right? There was a very fine line of print underneath that stating it was a joke. He even apologized for it. We, well EDEN, has been planning this for a while now.

This war makes sense. The aim is not to destroy Japan, it is to get through Kyushu so that we can liberate Chinese and Korean regions. This will allow us not only to free allied regions but to strike back at the power players of Pheonix by taking away regions important to their economy.

It would have been better to negotiate a swap with Japan, but they may not have been open to such an idea.

He should have put it in his platform so that Japan could figure out what's happening and sign their MPP with Hungary before our declaration of war putting Kyushu under Hungary's protection?

idiot. congress is voting for the war!

At least know the facts before spewing out garbage like this.

eugene, what are you referring to? you're making yourself sound like an idiot.

Just passing through.

Gaius Julius claims that
A) The war is not about conquest or revenge
😎 Jewitt didn't know about the plans until today

Jewitt has said that the reason is because Japan wouldn't "give" us some regions, so we're going to take them.

Jewitt is President, if he doesn't want to do it, he should resign. Also, if he didn't know about the "plan", who is running this government? Is there a shadow government in place? Is a PNAC-esque con going on?

So I didn't bother reading the other comments so maybe someone else has already said this.

Kylero, this war isn't about Japan. We're not attacking them because we want retribution for letting Indonesia through to North America or something. It's nothing like that.

Kyushu (or whatever it's called) is our gateway into East Asia. If we take it, then we can continue into Asia and take the key regions of Indonesia, Iran, and Hungary that they occupy in East Asia without having to rely on resistance wars. This isn't a war of imperialism, this isn't about taking over smaller, weaker countries, it's about striking the imperial nations that we've been at war with since they invaded North America.

Really angel? Because what I'm hearing is "They let Indo do it, they should let us do it." Never mind that the uproar over the action caused a regime change in Japan because their leadership caved to Indo's threats. What did we do when we hear about what happened? We forgave Japan enmasse and rightly called Indo on it's bull. Japan put into place a stated stance that they would die before they let anyone travel through their borders.

Proponents clam that this isn't about takeing over smaller weaker countries, but what do you call it when we say "we're going through your native lands, and there is nothing you can to about it?" If we really don't trample on their soverignty, we ask, and when they say "no, this is not the gateway you're looking for", we find a different gateway.

You know, like Russia's far east. Everyone remembers Russia right? They're the guys who said hell or high water, USA is going to cease to exist, they are without doubt, clear and direct enemies. We have a buttload of MPPs against them, we don't like them, and they are a gateway to the East. It even lands on closer to Heilojiang, you know, the end point of this little trip.

If you don't think we can take them, that's ok, we can wait. We waited three months to attack Japan, we can wait three more to take the fight to Russia.

And finally the last point, and I must say this with a heavy heart because I supported Jewitt and PiginZen for the last two elections, but if this isn't Jewitt's call, then Jewitt isn't president. If it is Jewitt's call, then Jewitt intentionally mislead the populous and has restarted the eUS's checkered past. Yes, typing just kidding in one point font is misleading, even if everyone opened word and bumped up the font to something readable though, we have a national goal of taking London.

@Archivology,

It is not imperialism when your goal is to return the regions to their natural owners. it is Imperialism when you keep them. So let me get this right. You don't mind Hungary, Indonesia, and Iran occupying those regions and using the high iron and economic benefit to attack the eUSA and its allies?

So exactly where have you been for that last month? Didn't you notice how our non-aggressive stance only resulted on repeated attack on our allies. It left Hungary free to occupy Slovakia. It has done NOTHING to stop imperialism.

There is one thing that folks with your mindset ALWAYS fail to realize. Defending the peace, liberty, and independence of your country and of others is NOT a passive experience. If you are just going to sit back and let your enemies take war to you and your allies YOU LOSE!

@Kylero,

I understand your reservations, but I disagree with your entire premise. I can understand why Jewitt did not know about the attack plans. He had no need to know until he was elected as CP. At that time he was briefed. It has NOTHING to do with some evil shadow government. It is about operational security.

I also disagree with the idea that this is an imperialistic war. the goal is to return the regions to their natural owners. We will not keep much over there other than a foothold in order to render eJapan unimportant. I am not going to openly discuss strategies here. But there are several ways to accomplish that with a minimal US footprint in Asia.

@Thomas,

I can understand why you for this war, its not as though you are particularly impartial. Operational security? When I vote for someone, I want them to keep their word, not bend over and take it from the military-industrial complex.

I'm all for stopping Hungary, Indonesia, and Iran, it's why I served in the eUS military for several months. What I'm not ok with is walking all over Japan to do it. From Wikipedia we get this nugget:

Imperialism, defined by the dictionary of human geography, is “the creation and maintenance of an unequal economic, cultural and territorial relationship, usually between states and often in the form of an empire, based on domination and subordination.”

I know we're not planing on keeping it, but look at it this way; British soldiers are fighting against the French, and their native allies, and they need a place to sleep. Sure they have tents, but rather than personally suffer, they would rather quarter themselves in a local farmers house, and force him and his family into the barn. Sure, Britain is doing it for the "Greater Good", after all, they're there to protect that farmer and his family, who cares if they had to ask from the end of a gunbarrel.

You'd like to reduce our position to war=bad, peace=good Thomas, but that's not what is being discussed. It's less about why we fight and more about who we fight. Utilitarianism be damned, the final outcome doesn't tell the whole tale, and to be asked to forget what harm we are doing for the sake of the "greater good" does not sit well with me.

Exactly when do you guys realize this is a game, not real life?
