The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters
Ministry of Foreign Affairs RU
This month Russia has faced two powerful blows from top countries: first an airstrike from Romania and an argentinian attack few days ago. And both of these attacks were repulsed with heavy losses to the attackers.
Since the collapse of TWO, which was a hostile alliance to Russia, we haven't been directly involved in the confrontation of it's two successors - Asteria and Sirius, mostly cooperating with our verified and reliable friends in Aurora and Asgard. So, in terms of skilled alliance-builders, one could conclude that we were «neutral». Both major alliances at various times endeavored to involve Russia to their sphere of interests, but we deemed it right not to give advantage to any of the fighting parties.
Until this month.
First there was a romanian airstrike. After the airstrike law was proposed we had a meeting with some members of the romanian government (and concurrently of Asteria HQ) in an attempt to figure out their motives. They were very reticent and we failed to understand what they really want from us. According to some of their hints I now guess that their idea was to realise a plan that already proved to be successful against such countries as Portugal, Brazil, France: to wipe a country, force it to deposit a pledge to the invader for the return to the map (optionally), force it to change sides. That's why our reaction was rapid, decisive and unambiguous - to cooperate with Sirius. As a result Romania was defeated and totally wiped. (For a short period of time, of course. It's almost impossible to wipe such a country for long) The romanian airstrike ended in a complete fiasco.
After a while, Asteria made a second attempt. First Argentina airstriked Georgia and then launched a direct attack on Russia (instead of an expected by many swoop on a Polish gold mine). Again an attack was unexpected, unprovoked and this time the aggressor didn't even bother himself with any diplomacy.
The result was the same - a fiasco.
Of course we wouldn't be able to achieve this without a huge help of our allies - old and new. Many of them are personally mentioned in our president's article following the results of the battle.
I would also like to thank all the fighters who made this victory possible.
Special thanks to our partners in Pacifica:
dmjohnson - for an express loan for military purposes
Wild Owl - for organising a liberation movement in argentinian-occupied regions of the World
casadeli - for the tanks donated to supply the fighters on #usa.supply
john nwp - for arrangement of the supply on #usa.supply
... and to our friends in Sirius:
Arrlo - for generous Combat Orders in the decisive moments of the Battle which played not only military but also psychological role against the enemy's spirit
Pierre Dzoncy, urban cohort, Sarandir - for outstanding military cooperation
Thank you Pacifica!
Thank you Sirius!
Thank you Aurora!
Thank you Asgard!
Thank you Root!
I would also like to thank all those players from Serbia and Brazil who fought on our side. We appreciate your help!
So what are the strategic results of this month's events for Asteria?
1. Two wasted airstrikes
2. Romania defeated and wiped
3. Argentina defeated and lost fullset
4. Alliance gets a new enemy instead of a neutral country
5. Long-term efforts of some asterian members to improve their relations with Russia are nullified. Really, when common Serbian players will again ask me why do our countries have no MPP, my answer will be because of your «allies» and those who support them in your government. Serbia, which was the founder and the main driving force of Asteria, is now forced to adjust to it's friends' bankrupt policy. How long will common Serbian players tolerate such a situation when their so called «allies» solve their own problems at the expense of Serbia?
Anyway this does not concern us anymore. We do not want to have anything in common with the monsters.

#BS no.1: 'So, in terms of skilled alliance-builders, one could conclude that we were «neutral».'
You could only 'conclude' that if you were as delusional as the author of the above article. 99.9% of eRussian damage goes against Asteria*LETO every day, plus eRussia is a member of Murica's little proSirius clown alliance -- how does that make eRussia 'neutral'?
#BS no.2: 'According to some of their hints I now guess that their idea was to realise a plan that already proved to be successful against such countries as Portugal, Brazil, France: to wipe a country, force it to deposit a pledge to the invader for the return to the map (optionally), force it to change sides.'
Portugal, Brazil, France chose Asteria*LETO because they were wiped by said alliance and this was the only way they could get back on the map!? LOL. Portugal is a LETO founder, and was previously wiped by Spain, a Sirius founder; France were an early inductee to LETO, and it was Poland -- again, a Sirius founder -- which had them wiped. How does that play into your theory...?
Yeah Brazil were wiped by Arg, but it was only the p*sspoor assistance they were getting in Sirius that had them switch to Asteria, this paranoiac drivel about some plan to force them to change sides is just nonsense.
I suppose we should be thankful there's no paranoid rants about admins secretly toying with mechanics or doctoring damage to ensure Romania/Asteria come out on top etc etc., tho the fact Russia are actually winning these engagements would make that difficult.
If this article is a troll, congrats, its full of lulz. If its meant to be an even-handed report on recent events, then its a fat fail.
You're too stressed.
#1: hint me on eRussian external of February-June of this year.
If you see a staunch ProSirius line, you're blind.
There is ASGARD, there is China, there are many other factors.
Don't forget that eRussia created PACIFICA on par with USA after being in GREAT DIVINE RUSSIA alone, which was IMHO the best way for a country like us to exist in the current environment.
#2: if I were you, I'd do my best to take care of issues like that:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-presid-ecirc-ncia-referendo-sobre-a-presen-ccedil-a-de-portugal-na-leto-com-as-raz-otilde-es--2419500/1/20
rather than use this article as a platform to promote your questionable opinion, if you really care for LETO stack and etc.
As for France, everyone remembers that they were initially wiped by both key Sirius founder and Asteria founder. That fact worked well for eRussian neutral stance prior to Asterian aggression: we have been trying to maintain partner relations with our allies no matter the alliance.
Concerning your final remark on the quality of our Minister's of Foreign Affairs insight, I think the geopolitical results of this month clearly describe his theses are more grounded than your emotional response.
A fat troll got successfully trolled
Should I show how?
Look: before the recent events Russia fought for it's friends - Aurora and Asgard - approximately equally. So, this could be translated on your language as "50/50 against Asteria and Sirius". But only one of the sides got butthurted. At that so seriously butthurted on the alliance level that one side decided to waste two airstrikes against us.
You could check egov to discover that USA and Russia have approximately equal damage. As for the alliance, Pacifica is the successor of the alliance called Great Divine Russia which was (and still remains) _our_ clown troll alliance. This just shows your enormous butthurt of America. Congratz! Good job!
Your amazing knowledge of history makes me laugh. Write more fiction please!
More BS, hurrah! \o/
What should I trust as evidence of Russian neutrality: the standard erroneouss BS (like the above article) designed by the likes of yourself to give the impression of Russian neutrality -- or where 99.99% of eRussian damage goes each day...!? Hmmmm......?
The delusion Asteria got "butthurted" so sent two AS's against you is laughable! Arg's AS landed in Georgia and the objective was the Polish Goldmine -- and it's not as if this isn't common knowledge -- how even your paranoid little mind cooked up and allowed itself to believe Asteria have been mobilising against eRussia escape's me. That was always just collateral damage.
What is amusing tho is that you's actually pretend eRussia was split 50/50 between Asteria/Sirius prior to this. That'll come as a shock to most Asteria*LETO citizens, that I can assure you.
Egov is broke, according to ingame stats Murica does x2 the damage of Russia. So if your point was you's do equal damage which translates into equal footing in the alliance, lolno. Not sure how pointing out a clown alliance like Pacifica is a clown alliance is anything other than just stating the facts tbh. Pacifica is just the last option available to the eUS, kicked by Sirius and Aurora didn't want them so hitched up with their faithful Russian lapdogs, try to paint it any other way and you just fail : )
Don't waste time on people who ignore facts, nimnul.
They'll say Romania made it AS to Russia "not against Russia", but to pass elsewhere, while de facto they just went on conquest of our territories.
They'll say Argentinian objective was Poland's goldmine, but the NE was sent to Russia not Poland.
And they'll keep telling Russia was not neutral.
It was neutral, and there was utmost respect and non-aggression towards its NAP partners from any alliance. However, neutrality ended the day we were attacked out of the blue.
You're talking to a man who has taken upon damagehood logics - since the current set of alliance scenarios left him with no other choice.
xD
There's also no point arguing with silly little role-players who go shrill when the facts are pointed out to them like this.
'Damagehood logics' isn't even a thing. If your reading into anything I've said as me being piffed that Russian damage isn't on Asteria's side then seriously -- W/E. My OP is obviously about the tone and obvious attempt to misrepresent some recent events in the article above, nothing more.
Recent events (reality): Args NE Russia, while having border with Poland-controlled gold mine. This effectively leaves Argentina without a chance to get Poland's gold mine, as it nears depletion and the NE won't be reset until 7+1 days, but gives a chance to establish Argentinian foothold in Europe on base of Russian regions.
NFM logics (interpretation): Arg is doing that to attack Poland's gold mine.
Dude, the fact is that you must be taking some medications which create a paranormal picture of reality around you, insluting and offending everyone around at the same time.
You should definitely go see someone who holds real responsibility for such a degraded way of thinking you demonstrate.
It may be someone important (not just a "silly little role-player"), but most likely it's the guy in the mirror.
Cheers.
Quos Deus vult perdere, prius dementat
I guess Asteria HQ consulted this guy before the attack. 🙂
Butthurt flows.
Glad to see the Russian Bear has not been diminished.
Russian bear dances to ' murica's music. So sad... 🙁
eSerbia dances to various rusophobic music
So natural. Same as irl
Что за бардак? Где русская версия?
Устав МИД запрещает бардак...
Ну и чего тогда МИД нарушает свой устав?
MoFA Charter disallows non-english comments here
Предлагаю пойти дальше и обязать МИД переводить англоязычные коменты к статье на русский
Great article. Thanks.

А согражданам типа нахер не надо писать. Позиция оок
Для сограждан была президентская статья.
Они несколько разные по содержанию.
Я понимаю, что статья ориентирована на иностранцев - радуемся, злорадствуем, выражаем благодарность друзьям и все такое прочее. Но осадочек остался.
А на русском уже статьи не пишем? Может нам ещё и английский язык сделать основным в нашей стране?
why not?
Целевая аудитория этой статьи - международное комьюнити. Так что английский в данном случае единственный вариант.
Но какие-то комментарии на русском для игроков, которые заграничную мову неандестэнд были бы безусловно полезны. Если напишешь, то многие игроки будут тебе благодарны. 🙂
[removed]
Перезжайте в США и там пишите для них статейки, раз заграничная мова для Вас стала андьюстентьнее русской. А мы живём в России. И если пишете статью, Либо пишите на двух языках, либо на русском либо не пишите. Патриоты России! твою дивизию!
Nice article!
I hope our brothers from Serbia will come to a right conclusion about their "allies".

МИДу зачёт! 🙂
Уважаемый МИД, сделайте как русскую версию статьи, так и английскую. Вам что, сложно что ли?
