WW2 on the way?
srachit
I as many know am a new player to Erepublik. So i wanted to know what was going on between Russia and Norway and what better way then to read their newspapers?.
So I randomly selected a newspaper to read. Guess what it turned out to be Hatebot's newspaper (The guy leading the freedom war) I learned from it that Norway had agreed to free Russia and that is why the freedom war had started.
Then I decided to read another newspaper and my luck it turned out to be the newspaper owned by the President of Norway. From which I learnt that Norway had never said yes to letting Russia free and that this was now an official war. In his article the President of Norway also asked the ATLANTIS COUNTRIES to come and help win the battle over Russia.
Now getting back to the Heading "WW2 ON THE WAY?". I read in the comments of Hatebot's newspaper that turkey and some other countries were sending their soldiers to help Russia.
Now if I am not wrong these are the members of PEACE GC:
* Greece
* Pakistan
* Bulgaria
* Portugal
* Brazil
* Italy
* Austria
* Indonesia
* Hungary
* Venezuela
* Japan
* Iran
* France
* Netherlands
* Turkey
* Mexico
See turkey is in Peace GC
Then when I read the President of Norway's article I read that he called for all ATLANTIS MEMBERS to come to help.
So dosent this mean that ATLANTIS MEMBERS go to help Norway while turkey is helping Russia, then turkey call other Peace GC members to come and help and eventually world war 2 starts as half the world would be in war against each other.
P.S Plz correct me wherever I have been wrong
P.P.S If any of the info is incorrect plz let me know because this info is taken from what I have understood as what is going on in Norway.

Ya, I've read the same articles as you, and that's the general situation. It all depends on whether PEACE decides that they want a free Russia, and not just have Pakistan conquer it. At least, that's how I see the situation. Not being a very experienced player, though, I'm not sure how a world war would end up developing.
intrepid a world war would start if PEACE decide that Russia should get its freedom and if Russia and Norway do not talk about it. If this happens then most probably ATLANTIS will go to help Norway. PEACE has 16 members and ATLANTIS 8 in total 24 countries that 3/4 of Erepublik and if this happens then this will surely be classified as a world war
Yes, but only if a total mobilization occurs. This could be limited to essentially a regional conflict. One of the things that needs to happen for it to be truly a world war, at least in real life, is the opening of other fronts. if this fight is limited to just Russian independence, then there is a chance for the world to escape a global conflict. If, however, either alliance decided to attempt to stretch the other's military resources by attacking somewhere else, then that would be a world war, in my opinion. For example, if the war continues in Russia, and ATLANTIS decides that this would be an opportune time to try again for Australian independence, then that would make it a war of truly global scale. I know that that isn't normally how it is denoted in eRepublik, since the Hungarian-Romanian war is considered to be a world war, but that is my opinion of what it should be.
I'm new too so forgive me for the stupid questions but why would ATLANTIS want to help Norway when Norway is the oppressor? I imagine the answer will come back Norway is a member of ATLANTIS but Russia is not, but if ATLANTIS is a peace-keeping organisation why would it support one country in domination of another?! Surely for ATLANTIS to fulfil its role on eRepublik it must fight for the rights of the oppressed, not aid an ally to continue this oppression?
Or have I missed something?!
Since Norway has been attacked, from what I know of their contract, ATLANTIS has to help them. ATLANTIS helps its members if they are attacked, and doesn't interfere or helps them if they are attacking.
Is ATLANTIS a peace-keeping organisation? I didn't think so, just a military alliance.
Ok that makes sense I suppose. More NATO than UN?
And is PEACE the same thing? just with different members?
In which case is there an equivalent of the UN of eRep?
No equivalent of UN on eRep. Tho it will be interesting to see what time brings to this matter. In general some consider PEACE the axis of evil, while other find ATLANTIS an imperialistic alliance only looking to expand. I can only comment on the last part there: ATLANTIS did conquer countries in the beta yet talks have been going on and agreed resistance wars started from countries within ATLANTIS.
PEACE is strictly a defensive alliance.
Read our constitution and contract.
also lol@ Axis of evil
i doubt a world war is goin to start over a russian resistance war, although i see your point.
i doubt it 🙂 no serious action in russia from PEACE,. axis of evil huh? i believed that both , ATLANTIS r PEACE is an imperialist bloc 😉
Just to point out that there is actually a cease fire in Norway.
Soldiers are using q1 weapons and training 😉
ATLANTIS members do reserve the right to remain neutral in any conflict, unless it's a defensive action. As This is a war directed to insurgents any aid provided by PEACE members for Russia is secondary to Norways original move. The defensive alliance is not activated then. It must be a direct outside attack by a PEACE member against Norway. This may well become a war of proxy states.
most wars and conflicts of PEACE and ATLANTIS have been wars by proxy states
Oh and I am sure that america and UK are going to help norway if a war starts and soon the other countries in Atlantis will follow their footsteps
silly question, but are there any neutral countries left? this whole thing seems to have gotten to the "my gang's bigger than your gang" stage.
p.s. feel free to shoot me for using quotation marks, it felt dirty doing it
