Presidential Candidate Goals Point To Asian invasion
Aeros
With Gauteng secured by resistance war, another major Phoenix colonial enclave has been removed, limiting their holdings to just Northeastern China. With Presidential elections now coming in, the United States Voters seem to be in the unique position of choosing which route EDEN is going to take with regards to the Asian enclaves. Will the US land swap through China to push on Liaoning, or launch an all out invasion of the Russian Federation. In order to help the informed voter, lets review both options.
INVASION OF RUSSIA
PiginZen/George Armstrong Custer
This has been kicking around since the end of the North American War. It has generally been considered too risky due to the bottleneck along the Bering Straight. If the initial attack is repelled by the Russians, then they would be able to immediately counterattack with a newly activated list of MPP’s. Recently however, the US has been able to establish a presence in Asia, and could conceivably region swap through India and China to other points along the Russian border. This means that even if the US is defeated in the initial invasion of Far Eastern Russia, they would be able to continue the assault in Central Asia to hold initiative.
Choosing this route will mean an enormous war with huge risks. Unlike the United Kingdom, Russia is a fairly large country in its own right and would be barred from any kind of settlement with the United States due to some serious RL issues. Launching an invasion of Russia would mean a fight to death, either America’s or Russia’s, because this time we can be certain Hungary will be on Russia’s MPP list. The lack of Hungary in both Indonesia’s and Russia’s MPP lists in the North American war was a major factor in the defeat of those countries at the hands of EDEN. Should EDEN and the United States prevail over Russia, the effects would be immediate. For starters, the US would have unlimited access to the Hungarian occupation zone. They would also be able to make a second attempt on North Korea. Should we be defeated though, we can expect Russia use its newly minted Hungarian MPP to invade the US , while Great Britain keeps our Canadian Allies distracted.
For victory to be achieved, precise timing and a lot of luck will be needed. The expense of attacking this part of the world will be huge. Thousands of Gold just to declare the attacks, not counting the amount to be spent on tanking and weapons. Should the attack be stalled, Hungary or Serbia could counterattack and halt the American offensive. If this occurs, EDEN will face a tough decision. Let Russia counterattack, or call Phoenix “all in” and order Croatia to use their MPP stack and invade Hungarian and Serbian home territory to preserve initiative. As you can see, a very high risk, high reward move is waiting in this sector.
LANDSWAP TO LIAONING
Andy Costello/Aersidius
This candidate seems to be favoring a much less dramatic military campaign then PiginZen. The stated goal of retaking Liaoning from Serbia would basically entail a second attempt at what the US tried to do a back in January. Pushing out Phoenix from Northeastern Asia through 1 v 1 battles without activating any MPP’s. This plan carries far less risk to the US Homeland, as it would avoid the possibility of a major Phoenix counterattack into North America. While it also removes risk, there is some loss of gain as well, because it avoids an all out confrontation with Phoenix. This would also cost considerably less money, as this strategy would allow the United States to continue to attack on its own schedule. Because of borders with Hungary and Serbia in North Asia, the US would be forced to attack constantly for an extended period of time against very expensive targets. There would be no room for error, or delay. In this respect, continuing with the strategy of surgical strikes through China has many positives over an all out throw down between EDEN and Phoenix in Siberia.
Other then this, I can’t really say much else about this plan to attack Liaoning that has not already been said. We’ve all seen this effort off and on for the last couple months.
ENDORSEMENT
From a purely tactical standpoint, the land swap through China might be the safer option short term. It carries with it the least risk for the most gain. Of course, what the US could gain from a victory through attacking Liaoning from the South would be minor compared to what could be won if we emerged triumphant over Russia in a direct assault. And thus my quandary. The militant nerd in me really wants to see an epic war, and that has me feeling very strongly in favor for PiginZen’s plan to add Far Eastern Russia to United States territory. With that in mind, and the fact that I have always been a PiZ fan, I must go against my cautious voice of reason and endorse PiginZen. Lets burn down the Russkies!

Come out of Brazil Zoli. "It's too late", Gauteng is gone. 😉
We definitely need some epic fights. Missing the WSR era..
I'd like to point out that in my platform, as well as in multiple interviews, I stated that I am 100% for a large-scale epic military campaign, but decided not to reveal which locations I have thought about in order to not tip off our enemies. That's one of the lessons I took from eUK, we don't need to let Phoenix build up 19 chose Liaoning because it is an obvious option and needs to be done. As for Russia, I of course would love to invade them, but we need serious EDEN backing to do that, and I will make sure we have that before going in.
Oh and Aeros, thanks for the link!

We want TOTAL WAR!
nice article....do it...im ready >.>
what about croatian pass through west Europe and US to Asia?
Croatia is the only state which has activated MPPs against eSerbia and eHungry
it would cost a lot, but if croatia would find its way through asia, this will certainly mean end of Serbian and Hungarian high iron regions
Heh heh heh... Gotta love the epic-ness.
I'm not sure how the US can chose EDEN's path considering what EDEN HQ did to our people
yea how about getting us there. we have mpps agains serbia and hungary and enough power to beat russia
DCD sure is missing from this article...
maybe if ukrain is kind enough they will let romania or croatia region swap through and attack russia along side the US.
poland borders a russian region aswell they could attack russia then move through latvia or estonia or somthing to continue the invasion we could have 4 massive powers attacking russia full force we could keep russia initiative blocked with finland and sweden
with all that in mind destroying russia could be possible
tried to clean it up good as possible 😃
attack on russia is sh*t. shortly said.
croatia can get there through west europe. we got to austria but huns and serbs stopped us.
>😉CD sure is missing from this article...
DCD has not set an attack as a national goal.
"😉CD has not set an attack as a national goal."
No, but he did make an article about attacking FER.
You fail to mention that China has and MPP stack against Russia and with South Korea's help can attack some worthless Russian regions in North Korea.
very true
talk about not learning from the past. Look how hard of a time it took us to get a foothold in Britain. Imagine trying to do that in Russia. We should finish off the phoenix occupied zones first especially the high iron ones
rw should been started minute serbia got lionking.
or even better they should not be allowed that easily to reach it. they used fact that eden was busy in uk.
and you still dont get that serbia is stronger than hungary now. and lk is new hellokitty
Pretty sure you mean the Bering Strait 😛
I like your journey Aeros, and for this, let me tell you this
Gauteng had a large importance for Brazil. But only in a sentimental way. Really, our economy won't change a bit, and the population there will only increase the already huge wall at NoB.
Surely the Africans consider this a big deal, and our morale was lowered because of this. But no, diamonds aren't that important to be labelled as a "major colonial enclave".
If we invade Russia, we should call the campaign "Blue Dawn" 😎
Weeeeeeee!!!!! 😃
vote pig
Welp, at least they won't be asking Japan to piss off half of the world for no reason again...
What you really think we are going to wait and let you come so easily, we have our own plans of freeing Karnatka from USA, as well liberating France and Germany from EDEN ocuppation. And for the Croats well we all know that: CROATIA CANNOT INTO HIGH IRON! 😛 And not to forget that: LOLAND CANNOT INTO HIGH IRON! 😛
I wish I was a Phoenix troll and could just deflect arguments by creating new ones. Good job Bajke.
We are waiting....
vote for best newspapers in USA.
vote!
Croatia could pass through west Europe and US to Asia!!
Poland or(and) Romania could region swap through Ukraine and with USA attacking from Alaska Russia WILL FALL!!!!
invade liaoning!
The best option would have been to use the country that has MPP s opened against eHungary and eSerbia ..and that's eCroatia .
Unfortunately the only ones who noticed that is Phoenix ..because EDEN made a real mess of the opportunity ..because I do not believe EDEN was blind not to see it.
Lets burn some russian!!!
Piz 4 Prez
Aeros, you've lost your mind. Why in the world would you endorse a strategy that carries significant risk to the US mainland and will prove much more expensive than the alternative? Sure, swapping to Liaoning may not give us an "epic war" but it's clearly the more strategically sound of the two options.
and even then you would need all eden tanks to have a slight chance at victory 😃
