Honour without Might
Konrad Neumann
eUK is in a interesting position since we have honour but not might compared to many other nations which only have might but not right.
With the recent military aggression of eSweden and ePoland against eGermany, there are many articles around the world and especially in eUK that long for justice and honour to defend eGermany. We talk of fighting for what is right in outrage at the treachery of fellow ATLANTIS member as they stab eGermany, eUK, eUSA, and ATLANTIS as a whole. We talk of raising our arms and many of us did but the average military state of eUK needs great reform.
The average strength of eUK is 2.68. This is one of the lowest in the now defunct ATLANTIS sphere. eSweden have the strength of 4.48, eFinland have 3.95, eNorway with 4.36, eUSA with 3.01, eCanada have also 3.01, eRomania’s strength is 3.73, eSpain with 7.83, and eGermany with 3.49. Even eSingapore and or next door neighbor eIreland have a higher average strength with 2.82. eUK is surrounded on all sides by on average stronger nations. eUK’s only main advantage is population.
With the destruction of ATLANTIS eUK is mostly alone on eEurope. We still have relations with eSpain, eGermany if they survive and eIreland. eSweden without question is now really undependable as they are willing to destroy ATLANTIS for selfish territorial ambitions. Also with current relations strain many eSwedish considers eUK and eUSA as poor allies since we are sympathetic to eGermany. We are close to eUSA and eCanada and we can rely on them in defense, but we as a sovereign nation should have a stronger force that should not mainly rely on other nations for our security.
With current situation of the eWorld with Indonesia invading South Africa, troubles in eSpain, the Third Swedis-German war etc, in terms of foreign operations we can rely on the commando-like paratroopers but overall, we are behind than most countries if we focus on the nation as a whole in terms of common strength. We need to strengthen our reserve and our population that we can be at least average compared to the other nations. Before the nation and stand up to injustice we should promote and invest in ourselves to build up our nations so that we can as a nation can better oppose aggression instead of relying only on a few elite eUK soldiers and our allies. All eUK citizens should train so when the nations needs reserves and more troops, we would not be caught with our pants down. eUK is like the story of David and Goliath but in the current state, David is not capable to bring down Goliath yet.

The survival of Germany is entirely dependant on the willingness of its allies to come to its aid.
As long as the eUSA and eUK claim official neutrality they will lose their ally region by region.
I totally agree with you Alexevich. What eSweden want is not neutrality but appeasement and if "neutrality" results in a hand over of land etc, then it is not neutrality. While the governments of eUK and eUSA is not active in the war, I feel eUK as a whole is weak in fighting strength. While they stand on justice against the Swedish aggression, the main population as a whole is not in a great position to respond compared to other nations in terms of military action.
Honour is not enough for us to survive...in the words of churchill we're heading for a:
'Defeat Without War'
We need to be arming ourselves to the teeth

Well-written Konrad - voted!
I think the RG should have more Q1 weapons allocated to all MPP's so that they can fight and heal and train.

I personally would take our low avg, strength as a sign of how so much money is ploughed into the waste of time nhs system. Let the lowbies die and learn to play before they start qualifying for the right to act as a gold sink.
