+And the first wave comes to a close+
Chisholm
The first wave of the American invasion of Mexico comes to a close very soon, and with a resounding
pounding of the Mexican forces eUS prepares to add a few more states to the union.
But my personal warning:
We cannot let this victory go to our heads, yes celebrate, but we cannot begin to think that we can go out and kill Indonesia single-handedly now. I'm tired of reading about people saying "Lets go kill Canada now, I know we could do it" But we need to think to that, Why? They've been good allies for a long time and have been loyal to the alliance.
A active citizen ClammyJim wrote an excellent article about the effects this will have on the alliance http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspaper/slightly-delightful-news-183069/1
I believe we also need to realize while most people are against open imperialism (myself included), it is necessary to have minor imperialistic traits if we want to pose an active threat to PEACE. It is necessary to have imperialistic actions for either alliance to the other. The best one could do is defeat a nation, occupy them, force them to resign from their alliance and then release them.
We will also have some thinking time on our occupation plans, as we cannot press the attack until day 470 when the border problem is fixed (Mexico doesn't border Mexico..wut?)
Many are pointing the finger at the U.S for violating the ATLANTIS treaty and although I (like many) do not know all the facts I think it is going missed that Romania and Spain violated the treaty and didn't have half the response eUS is getting over it.
I am personally pro-war but only for the benefit of the country, not the alliance. However one side of me remembers the great quote of J.R Oppenheimer
"I am become death, destroyer of worlds"
Sincerely,
Chisholm

Sounds good. Maybe when this is over we can force them to only have an MPP with us, thus breaking them away from PEACE entirely.
The thing that will slow us down is that we cannot attack the rest of Mexico until the admin fixes the border problem.
I planned on adding that, but forgot. I'll try and throw it in somewhere
This is my response to any and all talk from ATLANTIS membernations:

MUERTOS LA CANADA!
Here is the treaty itself, read it, we agreed to do it? The money will have to be paid, or we will be cast out of Atlantis, which wouldn’t be a world ending thing, but we expect or should expect other nations to follow the treaty, so we should respect it as well. yes if we would have gave a notice to all countries in the treaty, our mission security could have been an issue, but I didn’t hear of anyone trying to work on removing this clause or altering it to benefit the USA, of course that would be the non-work of Uncle Sam and those before him, but i digress, ... not really.. Here is a link to the treaty. Read it

@Justin: ATLANTIS can cram it.

Do you really think Romania, Spain, Canada, Sweden, etc etc will have the U.S kicked out for not paying up?
They won't.
They may not do anything, time will tell. If they dont that shows how useless the treaty is and should just be abolished because it is just a piece of paperwork that means nothing? If they do choose to follow the treaty, more power to them as it would be fair.
It was being openly talked about for at least a day before it happened. If our "allies" didn't know this was going to happen, they are clueless.
I don't see why we should be held to this clause while previous "violators" haven't.
If Atlantis wants to kick us out, fine, we'll find other friends.
CANADA ROCKS!!! leave them alone they have done nothing wrong
