A Return to Integrity

Day 1,710, 10:22 • Published in USA Canada • by Haliman

My fellow Americans,

I have sat by and watched American Foreign Policy run amuck for too long now. The direction our country is headed angers me.



Angry eagle.

We are on the verge of a Civil War. Americans, good Americans are fighting against our country because of the policies and decisions of our out-of-touch President. These people are not terrorists, they are not traitors, and they should not be punished for what is going on.

This administration has ignored reason in favor of beating its chest. It has abandoned our allies in favor of a foreign policy that is out of touch with reality. Most importantly, this administration has undermined the public, and pursued a war with a country that has always helped us. Though the Canadian administration takes part of the blame for this war, it was totally avoidable. I personally told the President, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Defense that Canada WOULD vote that NE proposal down, but I was brushed off. The wheels of war had begun to turn, and they would not allow someone to stop them.

At the end of my term as Speaker of the House, I will be stepping aside. I won’t be running for Speaker again.

Instead, I’m announcing my candidacy for President.



We are headed down the wrong path as a country. You know it, and I know it. But this time must be different. We can’t just sit idly by while a select few people decide the direction of the country. We have the power the choose our own path as a country, and we say that this time, things WILL be different.

See, this war is not the only thing that has to change.Our entire Foreign Affairs strategy (if you can even call it that!) has to be redone. I agree that we need a new alliance, but it has to be done with common sense, and with consideration towards our friends.

Their main reason for the failed CTRL alliance is that they are bored fighting over the same regions over and over. Sure, that can get redundant, but anything is better than fighting on American soil. After the completely avoidable war with Canada erupted, we lost almost all of our MPPs, which means we are extremely vulnerable. My number one priority will always be the safety of the country, and you can bet your ass I will fight to keep us safe.

I will be against anything that revokes our MPPs with Croatia, Romania, Greece, and Turkey. Countries like these, as well as France and Germany, Canada and Brazil, and China and Argentina have given us no reason to show aggression towards them.



We need to stand by our friends

So yes, if elected, I will be exploring the idea of a new alliance, but I will do so keeping in mind all of the friends we have in this game. I’ll call it the Common Sense Doctrine.
