Club Imperialism can shove it.

This is written in response to Zoli's article Club Imperialism Welcomes the USA
Here's the case of two nations, relatively similar to each other in many respects, and put in positions not wholly unrelated. The nations I speak of are France and Japan.
France
Beginning about a week ago, Spain began a war with France. Some cried "Imperialism!" some congratulated Spain on getting some revenge on France for its invasion earlier this year. My personal feelings on this are unimportant, but I'll go so far as to say I stand on the side of an important ally. I did sympathize with the French people, though, because I feel like they really got the short end of the stick. When they went to defend their land, where was Hungary? Where was Serbia? Not helping them! Nope, not even an MPP went up for France. So in the end they lost both of their high wood regions, and have little chance of retaking them in the near future. In the great scheme of things, France got screwed.
Japan
Now consider the case of Japan. Three days ago America began a war with Japan. Some cried "Imperialism!" some congratulated America on doing what it needed to do to gain a corridor into Asia in order to free its ally's captured regions. My personal feelings on this? We were going in to free Chinese, Corean, and possibly other regions. We wanted to help our allies, and help countries that have been oppressed by Hungary, Indonesia, and Iran. Unlike France, Japan had Hungarian, Serbian, Russian, Indonesian, Portugese and many other's support! What was different? Well...that would be Hungary's bottom line.
The Bottom Line
Hungary knew we were coming for their regions, to return them to the nations they rightfully belong to. When France, a PEACE GC country, was in trouble, Hungary couldn't be bothered to help out an old friend. Japan probably would've been the same way if it hadn't been for Iran and Hungary's high iron regions that they've stolen from the Chinese. So that's why Japan was saved. Not to stop America's "Imperialism" but to save their own.
Comments
It seems that no matter how many articles appear with evidence of Hungarian imperialism, people still fear "American imperialism" much more.
We have done the hard thing to resist the Hungarians. Japan should too.
Nothing more important to Hungary then their bottom line...
It's almost refreshing to see that some things never change.

Voted. Already Subscribed. Are we imperialist? No. The question of whether we're hypocrites is a different matter. That's where I think the line gets less clear between the U.S. and Phoenix.
I could never call us imperialists unless we end up getting to China, take those iron regions and then don't give them back. Which for the record I have heard people in the U.S. mull over or even advocate.
"Hungary knew we were coming for their regions, to return them to the nations they rightfully belong to."
that's a lie. the USA's motives for trying to go to asia are to take revenge on Hungary and to get a high iron region themselves.
Armande, I would go so far as to say that you are completely brainwashed by Hungary. Of course, its not surprising that you would assume that. When a country bullies other countries, steals their regions, and takes everything they can from them, its only natural that they would assume that others are just as dishonorable. Luckily for the nations of the world, there ARE countries who are honorable and will put the collective interests of their alliance over themselves. In essence I am say, those who cannot be trusted cannot trust, and Hungary can never again be trusted.
Voted and subscribed.

"people" being...
If we are talking about Cerb, Frost, or DC that is one thing; if we are talking about a newb like me or ajay that is something you should probably ignore.
LordRhal is absolutely correct. No one in the government has advocated such a thing.
voted, where's Mai article Bradley? XD
>It seems that no matter how many articles appear with evidence of Hungarian imperialism, people still fear "American imperialism" much more.
You clearly did not pay attention to that little war we had in North America a little while ago.
