[President] Fundamental Changes
Glove
Deja-Vu
For the last few weeks we have seen our allies fall, nations that once dominated the world are now no longer to be seen on the map. We are currently under the largest invasion seen since PEACE invaded, and the circumstances are much different this time around. The last time we were invaded on such grand scale as this, PEACE only stopped short of conquering Florida, and for one reason only, it ran out of gold.
That won’t be a problem this time, war is free now.
Hungary, Indonesia, Poland, Spain. These are the opponents we face, in conjunction with all of ONE supporting them. I wish I could tell you that this is all my fault and that if I were removed everything would be better, but that isn’t the issue that has been causing us to lose battles.
We are simply outgunned.
And there’s also this reason, as mohe3439 so eloquently described in his publication.
But don't let anything discourage you.
Take a look at these 4 nations and their support. Just take a quick glance around some of the stat websites and you can see clearly ONE has more raw damage and support in numbers.
But these aren’t reasons to lose hope, nor excuses. The moment you lose hope you are useless. We’ve been under the impression that we’re invincible for a long time now, and it’s allowed some giant egos to develop. Now its time to prove yourselves. Are you going to throw in the towel, or are you going to give them the fight of your life?
TERRA and EDEN, even if combined, would still fall short of meeting ONE’s strength, as can be seen in the alliance divisions. Then you also have to take into account that TERRA and EDEN are different in terms of when they are effective on the battlefield, also known as their “primetime.” ONE basically has a 16 hour period in which it dominates, but at night TERRA has the advantage.
Ever notice that when you log in the battles are basically already done? Wake up with 0-6 battles often? ONE opens battles when we are sleeping, and usually by the time we’ve awaken, the battle is lost. So long as our enemies keep winning battles, they keep initiative, meaning they dictate when the battles open, and this trend isn’t stopped until we actually win a battle against them. This is a problem we saw towards the end of Emerick’s term last month as well, which is when Spain’s winning streak began.
Remember when we were in Spain with Brozil tearing up their lady parts? What changed? Simple, our allies were wiped out and ONE was able to then coordinate damage towards supporting Spain. You see, a pig-disgusting Spaniard isn’t something to fear, but when he has 20 of his neckbeard friends behind him, then he can cause problems.
Argentina
Argentina left Terra.
I can only imagine the grinning faces of ONE right now. ;3
When Argentina joined PANAM, the idea of PANAM was to consolidate all of the Americas and forget about Europe. Then quickly, St Krems abandoned this idea and started inviting other nations, such as Turkey and Japan. PANAM started off slow, with fellow members still uneasy with one another. But eventually we found common enemies, Spoland, and grew closer together.
But there was an issue, the Greece-Turkey war.
At this time, the United States and other members had opposing views on the situation. Argentina favored Turkey. The United States favored Greece. And a lot of the other members were split or had slight leanings to one or the other. So what happened?
During this period many Americans were distrustful of the INCI in the USA. They saw them as ptoers. This greatly caused a pro-Greek reaction, especially after the Turkish group nearly captured a majority in Congress.
So Argentina continued its bond with Turkey, the United States with Greece.
After much tension Argentina has decided to leave. Argentina left simply because it favored BIAT (Brasil, Indonesia, Argentina, Turkey). But if you look at the map Argentina was actually one of the nations better off in TERRA. They aren’t facing an invasion, but they face continual resistance wars supported by ONE.
I for one don’t see the benefit of Argentina leaving the alliance, as they already maintained BIAT during the alliance, except now I guess the benefit is they won’t be criticized for doing so.
Also, in Argentina a popular slogan is brothers > allies.
So I tell you this. Maybe you never considered us to be brothers, but we saw you as an equal amongst us. Even if half my nation is occupied, we still helped, even though we desperately needed the damage to save ourselves.
Anyways, Argentina will always have a special place in my heart. They are reliable and passionate people and I hope to slay Spaniards alongside them, even if their brothers are helping them. We never asked to them to abandon BIAT or to give up colonies, just to respect the integrity of the alliance.
Regardless,
Canada
Maybe you've seen this? Are you worried? CALM YOUR BALLS WE'RE DOING SOMETHING.
Fundamental Changes
We can win resistance wars, we proved that a few days ago vs. Spain. But now Poland, Hungary, and Indonesia have joined Spain’s invasion. There is a good chance we stand to lose 1-4 regions a day now. I’m not a pessimist, my glass is always half-full, but even I, along with several others, realize that to beat back this invasion, there is going to need some serious fundamental changes.
And no, do not search for scapegoats. This is not the fault of any one institution or person. But if you want a scapegoat, Chickensguys already volunteered to be one.
Also, I just finished reading Pfeiffer’s article and could not comprehend how he can be so wrong. I then read John Jay’s article and agree with him on most points. That said, I believe it is time we put off this childish old military vs new military argument we’ve had plague our nation. I aim to reconcile with the former, and as my first step, I’ll be re-adding them to the DoD orders. The next step will be working on funding. The only thing I ask for the latter is that Bradley Reala appoints a representative for his group to the joint National Security Channel, so that in the event we need to quickly pass orders and Brad isn't around, I got someone to talk to. Fair enough?
In addition, I don’t know if you guys remember, but Spoland has always been rather sketchy towards us. I’d like to remind you of these logs. And there are many more like them.
Yes, there was a time when Spain and Poland were essentially like our bros. But they turned their backs on us for their own interests. To those who say, “I can’t hit against Spoland after all we’ve been through together.” I want you to pay close attention to these words.
They have no problem stabbing you in the back.
Evacuation
This is not a retreat. This is a rally. All displaced U.S. citizens are urged to move to California and request moving supplies to do so.
Alliance Structures
Also, another fundamental change that must occur is the alliance structures. It is clear now that Eden and Terra cannot exist as separate entities. We tried the multi-polar world experiment, and it failed, simply because eRepublik does not allow for such a world to exist. This means we have to revert to a bi-polar world if we even want to think of standing a chance. You would think that Eden and Terra, as friendly as the two may be with one another would already be coordinating for the benefit of one another, but the fact is this: one feels more willing to help another when one is in the same alliance. Or at least, this is what I have noticed, and the problems the two alliances have can be solved. If both are willing to.
I propose current members of Terra and Eden be given consideration into a merge.
Final Words
Now with all that said, I am here to tell you what I have mentioned are not excuses. I just wanted to give some perspective to everything that has happened. I don’t give a damn if all the stats tell us we have 0% of turning back this war. If you aren’t in a Military Unit, you are a disgrace to your country. If you've lost hope, you are a disgrace.

If you’re a particularly great American, you may need some assistance with a second or third round of food fights under the new system. This is why we have programs like Meals on Wheels and Arm America which are open for anyone’s use.
We will not accept defeat. The world may be marching towards us, and even in the darkest of times, one can find hope, if one only remembers to turn on the light. We will not surrender.. We will fight to the bitter end.
It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

Good job, Glove o7
Sorry Glove, but USA let us Alone, never fight for us. One or two USA Soldiers is not enough, if you see the battles, Argentina ever fight for your priorities. But You never respect our priorites.
All people in Argentina Know that. YOu and other 2 usa soldiers only Fight For us. and where is the rest? Where is the brotherhood or TERRA priority?
You never care the TERRA priority when happen the NZ attack in Patagonia (Original Zone). And USA never show it .
Where you are when we need your help. Where you are when we need a Alliance.
Argentina, leave TERRA for the goodness of all eArgentino.
eArgentina, ever love Glove, but never forget the aloness of USA people.

Sepan disculpar las acciones de argentina pero una gran parte del gobierno de turno que es hincha de riber pleit esta siendo influenciado x las constantes derrotas de su equipo, y la noticia de que va a decender a la B no los tienen bien. X eso mismo argentina se recluira el proximo mes aguardando los resuldados de la promosion, luego de esto decidiremos que hacer con el tema de las alianzas...
Voted man!
We need to come together and end the stupid bickering. I see you are trying to make steps at doing that.... GOOD!

Thanks for the mention Glove, quality article.
@At-elah: USA lost the half of its country to help Terra... and you say they don't care about their allies? Would ANY country do such thing for a simple ally? No, but you don't even mention that.
USA fought all it could for its allies. If you haven't seen Yankees fighting it's because they have the same prime-time as Argentina. And it's when Argentina doesn't need help because Arg. can handle its battles very well, but when Argentina needed help USA fought.
The day of Patagonia Russia was under the attack of 3 countries, Germany was in the middle of a RW to recover its country, and many other facts, even though all those facts (plus it was at noon/afternoon in North America) USA brought all the help it could.
Your statement, in my opinion, is wrong. What you are saying happened in the nearly beginning of PANAM but I have to admit it changed, not at a perfect level but as I said... lose the half of your country is something worth to mention, don't you think?

You think we are stupid, but not. USA dosn't care Argentina, and Dosen't care TERRA, the only mattter to USA, is USA.
Show pic, when was your army, fight for us, not only 2 soldier, show me when the Army, Airborn, wherever, fight for argentina. Think in that. Think what are you doing for Argentina, and them, maybe you can find the Answer.

This.
And the day when the world has finally responded in kind has just arrive😛 USA forever alone.
Also, Argentina has experience dealing with the reliable, teamworking and trustworthy Amurrica. A fantastic experience that dates back to Atlantis times. Yep, the legacy and true nature of USA is very well-known all around the world... theoretical allies included ofc.
😁
it's really nice to see that you finally admit that
ONE > TERRA + EDEN
