Cerb Interview

Politics
Day 1,351 of the New World
Cerb sat down with me over some Milk Bones and three bowls of water.
I asked the questions I figured my readers would ask if they had the same opportunity. Here's how it went:
If AMP wins a majority of congress next month, what changes do you expect?
I think this situation is analogous to RL politics, in that the extremes from each party tend to get the most attention from the 'press', so to speak. In reality, I don't think the voting bloc of the AMP is radical or disagreeable. It just depends who leads the way. If it's someone like Jason the Great or Leroy Combs, I expect an AMP-led Congress would be fairly agreeable. However, if some of the fringe elements take an ideological hold, we could see more extreme results. I've heard some talk about moving the eUSAforums or disbanding the USAF. These would be pretty terrible measures, in my opinion.
Keeping the moderates in charge is generally healthy for any party, I think.
Will AMP attempt to reinstate the JCS as the primary Military Unit?
It's possible, but unlikely. Realistically, the same sort of concern about Pfeiffer is the same thing that keeps people like seeinvoices and John Jay from getting into Congress too often. Moderates are much more popular right now. I don't think anyone wants an all-out political war between the military and paramilitary units. Serbia is a very real threat, one that requires a united front to deal with.
If TERRA repeats its poor performance like during the Glove administration, how will you respond as CP?
I'm not going to say TERRA is too big to fail, because it isn't, but I'd like to see it kept intact if possible. However, if it returns to its old problems, a dissolution of TERRA and creation of a new alliance would become necessary. eRep alliances have a finite lifeline.
What Nation within ONE is the weakest link?
I'm going to go with FYROM. They continue to be a distraction, preventing ONE from focusing on their important fronts. Any alliance is typically brought down by 1 ultra-selfish member, and that could very well be the case here.
Which ONE Nation do you see as most likely to drop out of ONE?
It's remarkable how difficult it is to maintain a meta-alliance. Partially this is a function of the fictional setting, and the rest of it is that there is no international commerce linking nations to each other. As to the members of ONE, I'd normally say Spain. They've been losing a lot over the past few months, but they can't leave because France hates them. Sweden is not really a huge ONE member, and they will probably bail if they can ever settle the score with Russia.
What is your favorite doggy treat?
Pig ears are delicious.
Oh, you like the chewy stuff?
I like a challenge.
Eating your own shits isn't much of a challenge, so I'm guessing you don't go there?
Right.
OK, well thank you. I will get this out ASAP.

Great Paper, Great topic, it a BI-WIN!
The eUSA is among a few nations that don't support its most successful, efficient military units to the max and instead heap taxpayer dollars on a politically inspired "official" military. I think that's wrong, and I fail to see how that is extreme.
Can't support you, and can't support a cabinet full of your USAF cronies. Just too filled with polifagness. Nothing personal.
lol, voted o7
Cool. I think I might interview myself sometime soon. I'm the only one I know that can ask myself the questions that people really want to hear my answers to!
Good read
@Fitisin:
I'm sorry you consider Kria Erikson, Ghost Killah, Custer, Deificus, Angelini, etc to be "polifagness". I doubt they'd appreciate it. Nothing personal.

So no questions about if he's going to accept the USWP's endorsement if they allow known multi-accounter/multi-voter Pfieffer to have a say over it?
Here come the haters 😁

Cerb is awesome.
I will vote for cerb daddy
Naomikins is your daughter/son?
Good article.
Can I's be a polifag?
Good job. And in my opinion, people like Fitisin are the ones that keep the BS going. This from someone who doesn't have a foot in either camp. Nothing personal.
@Relorian: Pfeiffer does not run the USWP party primary.
Voted
US Military is oldest military and most loyal and devoted group of of people in eUSA community.
We know how to do it !
We do not need money and do not run for money against principles.
Friendship, fun, dedication.
We do not talk so much, our guns do it...
@HisAirness, that is great news! I am very pleased to hear the eUS Military is loyal and devoted to this country. I understand that you do not need funding and are self sufficient, but in this time of crisis, with our country under invasion, your group is welcome to funding from the government, just as any other militia. We want you at your strongest!
Friendship, one of the most important aspects of this game to me, without game friends, all this would be pointless. Fun at any turn, you have to make your own sometimes. Dedication, toward the common goal of removing ONE and making our eNation strong again!
Thanks for the inspiration.
Voted for debate sparking awesomesauce.
