The Italian Airstrike: Dissident voices.

Day 2,768, 23:16 • Published in Netherlands Germany • by BaronVanZon

As the Italian Airstrike rages on, many wonder what brought the attack on. Has their recently signed MPP with Germany to do with it somehow? Did we enter in another diplomatic incident?

I meet up with Yamisuke, a dissident voice in Italy, to ask about his opinions on this attack. He gives his own view on the current matter, in his own, typical style.

Good morning, Yamisuke, and thank you for allowing this interview.
Could you perhaps briefly introduce yourself to the Dutch public?

Hello,
My "name" is Yamisuke and I'm an Italian player, as you may see. I arrived in eRepublik in 2011 but I took part in politics the year after. In late 2012 I left Italy to go to USA, at the beginning of 2014 I went to Argentina instead; despite my travels abroad, I never took part to foreign politic life. Occasionally I happened to know some of your fellow citizens like MaartenW first, then the Admiraal M. de Ruyter (formerly known as van Spijck). I candidated as Country President in Italy four times but the best achievement I could get was to lose for a single vote in April 2013; hence you may get how much my own people dislike me, despite the notable effort I put in national army (Esercito eItaliano) first, in Congress then and in few Governments (as Minister of Home Affairs/Interior) too. Despite my service (through these years, I basically rewrote from scratch our administrative body), I'll be never let reach the maximum charge available in eRepublik.

Oh, some bad people believe (and make people believe) that I'm actually a Pikachu.

Why is Italy launching an AS against the Netherlands? Could this have been part of a deal with Germany for the MPP?

Short answer: basically (and it could sound somehow shocking), the airstrike has been launched because of boredom.

Long answer: I don't know if you incidentally cared (by any chance) to our crappy weird foreign policy, heritage from uncountable commie governments; as you (by any chance) may know, we're constantly occupied by Serbia and Slovenia, despite the fact that we haven't to struggle much to live thanks to some non-aggression pacts that we regularly signed with Serbia and seldom with Slovenia too. Well, since this month we had a NAP with both of them, our Government led by President Casavier (formerly known as corvobianco before he paid euros to buy a steroid-drugged account) had the brilliant idea to go for an air strike, despite the massive failure and expenses occurred only few months ago (you may ask Admiraal about that); I have no idea how they come to conclusions to attack Netherlands, I only know that my warning about our fate to end like the previous AS has been deliberately ignored).


I haven't even got any idea how they came in touch with Germany: I only know that the German MPP (just like the one we're voting with Cyprus) has been paid with Casavier's (and/or someone else's in government) money and I suppose Germans decided to join our AS because the target was Netherlands (I'm vaguely aware of some recent diplomatic issues about your foreign policy about some treaty). Food (and maybe money itself) for air strike has been paid with Casavier's (and/or someone else's in government) money as well.

What is your opinion about this attack?

In discussion,I quoted a comic imitating former Italian football's former coach Cesare Maldini, he sais: 'In life you may win, you may even lose, not just like such a hopeless moron though!'. I clearly explained that the air strike is fated to fail because it costs lots of money to keep conquered regions and we won't have people putting their money on the stake forever. I'm against this government policy in general because they're (ab)using their publical office to manage our country like it were some of their private companies. Anyway, I'm against this eRepublik lame post-neocolonialism policy. We can get out of boredom by having training wars with Serbia and Slovenia and meanwhile we should adopt some internal policy to let our citizens grow stronger, this is some hard achievement for us though because several parties just stand up for nothing; that's why we'll never amount to anything.

Thank you for your insights.

Signed,

Baron Van Zon
