The Romanian loss of its two high productivity Iron regions, coupled with the eAmerican failure to seize Russia's Far East Region, spell dark days ahead for a weakened ATLANTIS. President Scrabman announced today he would not be accepting any resignations for the military failure, and casually noted that the United States is "broke" and that he has "no regrets."
The result was disaster. Within 24 hours the Russian invasion had been nearly defeated, and Russia's ten allies sped to the Far East to reinforce the region's battered wall. At the same time, Romania lost its remaining high iron regions, resulting in the threat of an iron ration in the United States as our largest supplier shuts down.
Criticized in some corners for a lack of foresight, President Scrabman has been forced into a tight huddle with loyalists in his administration. Scrabman's promise on Day 541 to "keep attacking until we win it" comes midway through a second term that has been considerably more controversial than his first. Recent polls show the popularity of the Scrabman Administration fell from the 64% to 50%, a 14 point drop likely due to fallout from the failed Russian invasion.
The administration released a contrite statement today regarding the Far East Campaign and Romania's two regions, and cast a general cloud over future military intervention, calling recent events "devastating losses." In the statement, President Scrabman refused to accept the resignation of Eugene Harlot, the official responsible for planning the failed invasion, and cast blame with PEACE, stating "nobody" in the Scrabman Administration was to blame for the failures.
In his final term, Scrabman seemed to hand off the task of rebuilding America to his successor, noting that "the next president will have a lot to build upon." Whether that president will be from USWP after the disasters of late, it remains to be seen.

At least we support our allies! Peace forever!
Great article - curious as to where the presidential popularity polls are conducted. Also, "the next president will have a lot to build upon" - when I read that I thought scrab was implying that he began a lot of new things that the next president could further develop - though I think your suggestion that the next president will have the main task of restoring the treasury and rebuilding the economy seems more accurate.
I'm glad we are broke, means our government took this seriously and that we gave it our all.
Do you understand game mechanics at all? The vast majority of Iron is purchased through the Org and donate method --- who holds the territory doesn't matter that much. With Org's you buy the lowest price, it by-passes all trade embargoes, import taxes, etc... There will not be a shortage of Iron.
I don't always agree with your politics, but you are one of the best reporters on the beat. Thanks again for your insight.
I certainly appreciate that, sir.
Cool words, i feel dumber to try to match wits with you, thanks for the hyper link in this topic.

voted. And I agree, scrabman should have no regrets, he did a great job but you just can't win against cheaters, no matter how hard you try.
"I'm glad we are broke, means our government took this seriously and that we gave it our all."
Well put. I know Eugene as a man who always takes his job serious and takes in account every single possibility.... Except cheating enemies that is. But he's not the one to blame for that.
Indeed shadowukcs.. everyone from PEACE are cheaters. Nobody from Atlantis ever cheated.
The battle was lost, even though All PEACE tanks have spent their gold on fighting for Podolio and Western Siberian Region. USA was in fact fighting a force of nations with a total population smaller than USA. Sometimes even giving your best just isn't good enough.
USA did put up a great fight however.
We're hardly broke and, as it was said, there won't be a shortage of iron.
Winner=Cheater? Hmmm,sick World...
Russia just had 10 MPPS!!!10!!If You count that most of the americans wellness is under 50 and most of the PEACE inhabitants are fighting in trainbattles since weeks,and after PODOLIA and WSR 2000 Romanians where locked in to the PEACE states...That was not a cheat.
