M2C = My Two Cents for future reference. Alright, so this was a very sporadic issue that went as quickly as it came. From my perspective, very confusing. Although I've heard that in the past, we had very good relations with Poland, all I know them as is those dudes that hold about 1/3 of our country.
As you've probably heard, the treaty was meant to make us pay $250k to Poland for all 17 regions they hold of ours. On top of that, they were going to keep the bordering regions to shield us from Serbia.
Debate in congress was pretty heated, while some people backed the idea for diplomatic and objective reasons, others argued using scenarios where we could have ended up screwed regardless of the treaty and national pride. Shout out to Kemal Ergenekon, he made the debate very entertaining.
He was getting ready to start putting people on blast for voting in favor of the treaty calling them traitors and what not. I don't know him, but I doubt it was serious. Very funny nonetheless.
Apparently Poland had announced that the treaty was signed... meanwhile, our Congress had 1 total vote on it and then voting was immediately stopped because Poland had already got that TWO backlash and caved.
The two famous quotes I keep reading everywhere are "You'll regret this if you don't change your decision" and the CP of Slovenia said “You just sold yourself, Poland. Hungary seems likely to be the next target, and you enabled that to happen.”
The whole scenario is hysterical. The two parties work out this whole treaty and just when it's being voted on in congress, Poland's already out saying how it's official. And I hate to do it to them, but it looks like people outside Poland made that decision for them. It is what it is, alliances will be alliances.
But I feel this justifies my stance on the whole issue. I was against the idea, I honestly planned on voting against the treaty. I saw the voting thread when it was up, but I decided to hold off for a bit to see if something else emerged on the discussion thread.
As I said earlier, apparently the eUS and ePoland's relationship was better at one time. I certainly wasn't here for it. I don't feel I would want an ally that would make a decision behind closed doors, prematurely announce it's finalization and then punk out when they get a public reaction. Honestly, I wouldn't want them on my squad.
Sure, you can make the argument they're loyal to their alliance, but that's not helping us right now. So, I feel how this played out puts a dagger into the pro-diplomatic approach with Poland argument. Who's to say how long negotiations were going on?
They knew what decision they were going to make the whole time and if they hadn't considered backlash to that decision, they shouldn't be making the decisions in the first place.
And that's honestly how I feel and where I stand on the whole subject. Maybe it would've (or wouldn't have) played out well for us, but I wouldn't have felt comfortable voting for it. Even before they pulled it for the reasons they did.
Sorry, ePoland. I know you gotta do what you gotta do and your loyalty certainly doesn't lie with us, I just don't respect that weak politicking 'ish.
I got a couple ideas for future articles, so if you're a real sub, expect some more content soon. 'Til next time, peace eUSA. (Still feels weird writing eAnything, btw... Not over that)

Voted. Of course I was serious xd
Oh, damn. I'ma remember that if I'm on the opposite side of an issue with you. We can have a lil propaganda war 😉
It doesn't sound like eUSA to kneel before TWO and lick their boots, or is that what is happening?
No, I certainly don't think that's the case. You'd have to ask someone with more knowledge on how we could have ended up screwed had the treaty passed, but assuming it would've played out how the treaty stated, it's a great deal imo. 250k for 17 regions is relatively cheap when you take into the account the cost of normal RWs.
Talk of elitism, caused an Old-fag extinction. It happened, around the time that I was eBorn.
I don't remember much about the politics. (There is a language barrier)
It's a little sad. But, very entertaining and gives me something to write about. So on that front, you'll hear no complaints from me lol
Voted. Love the Poland head graphic.
