Hanging Around With The Wrong Crowd

I think it's time for a change in the eUSA. At this point we have more citizens than any other eNation, we have an economy so full of jobs that people are being paid more than they have been in a long time, and the markets are full of cheap goods that are affordable for everyone. Things are good for the average citizen of the eUSA. So what do we need to change? Our attitude towards other nations. I for one think that this nation has befrended too many nations of questionable character. The most glaring example of this is Pakistan. Pakistan has taken over huge amounts of territory in what was once India and China. They have become a threat to many of their neighbors in the region, and a nation that completely disregards the borders of other nations. Now, the eUSA has a trade embargo against Pakistan, and this is a good step, a great nation like the eUSA shouldn't be trading with a nation like Pakistan. Yet, when you look through the diplomatic agreements that the eUSA has, you'll see that we also have a Mutual Protection Pact with Pakistan. I for one think that this is foolish. I recongnize that to cancel this pact we must first let it expire and I would like to see just that happen. The nation will be electing a new president in just a few days now and I think it is very important that the new president take a firm stand on this issue.
Of course this isn't just about Pakistan. I feel that the new president has to look more closely at the kinds of nation that we are dealing with. Nations that launch unprovoked and unreasonable wars of conquest should not be considered friends of the eUSA. We should not trade with them, we should not protect them, and we should do everything we can to oppose their actions. I'm not saying that we should be declaring war left and right whenever another nation goes to war, I'm simply saying that we shouldn't turn a blind eye to these kinds of actions. As of this writing we have heard very little from the candidates about their policies towards other nations. I would hope that they would make their views clear soon, as this is a very important issue. I would also like to call on all the candidates to tell the people of the eUSA exactly what they will do about rogue nations launching wars of conquest if they are elected. The people deserve to know. As the eUSA grows into a more powerful nation and becomes more of a leader in the New World many nations will look to us as an example. I think it's time we start setting a good example on this issue, and on every issue.

Something has to be done to stope Turkey and Norway... especially Turkey!
There are lots of countries that something needs to be done about. If we're going to be powerfull then we need to seperate ourselves from those kinds of countries and do something about the ones that are out of control.
You know, we attacked Canada for no reason once. Let's not be hypocritical.
Not to mention that we're in an alliance with Norway and Romania. Let's not be self righteous.
@Emerick
I'm not saying that we've always been on the side of good. I just think that we need to look at who we're allied with and what kinds of things we're doing. Maybe some people we're allied with shouldn't be our allies any more.
Good article. I don't know how practical it is yet because this game always throwing things for a loop, but it is a good thought and an enjoyable read.
then don't use the reason becuase of " ... Pakistan has taken over huge amounts of territory in what was once India and China.", since many other countries did the same.
then ... if you mention "Nations that launch unprovoked and unreasonable wars of conquest should not be considered friends of the eUSA." then you also question almost all other big countries, Romania, Sweden, Norway, Indonesia, even Japan ... even USA themselves launched unreasonable wars.
But then again, isn't that testing the war module is a reason for war? isn't expanding for resources is a reason for a war? isn't economy a reason for a war also?
All I know is the economy is not doing great in the eUSA. Declaring a 'training' war or just attacking people willy-nilly like the barbarian horde we are... either of those would drastically help our economy. So vote for WAR. Presidents who want peace ride to work on the short bus.
"you'll see that we also have a Mutual Protection Pact with Pakistan"
All of our MPPs expire in a matter of days. Until this happens, we will continue to be MPP'd with Pakistan. However, the 50gold fee for maintaining peace and protection with a country will NOT be allotted to Pakistan once we re-sign all of our MPPs.
The last paragraph in your article touches on furthering ourselves from nations who have gone to war for the sake of conquest. Fact of the matter is, Romania and Norway (as Emerick stated) have gone to war twice each, both times for the mere sake of war. It would be unwise to distance ourselves from said countries, considering they're in our alliance. Now, if a country in our alliance is to attack another country without first alerting us, then it would be of the correct mindset to assume we would not take kindly to said actions.
