My enemy's enemy...
William of Orange
As the saying goes "my enemy's enemy is my friend" – so why are we charging tariffs on trade with South Africa, while they are fighting a war against the Indonesian enemy?
All tariffs on South African trade should cease forthwith – and we should initiate trade sanctions against Indonesia.
Comments
I suggest you speak with Kaleb.
He is our Minister of Trade and can answer all your questions regarding trading.
Is Indonesia enemy of the United Kingdom?
What have Indonesia done to United Kingdom?
And do you understand the trade agreement system?
He\'s new insu 😉
William - we have a trade deal with South Africa to improve trade between our countries.
And isnu - I think what he means is that the UK has been helping countries that Indonesia attacked, like Australia and South Africa, so whilst we have not fought each other directly we have been enemies via other wars...
Our president is Tongki now. He is inactive and indonesian...Let the Australian ones move here to us while we do not get their homeland won over the glorious British with soldiers\' help!
An aim,a task and a common adversary!
For the homeland! For the glory! For the victory!
Okay then, Indonesia will be helping the Belgian too then. 😁
But Rommel, Australian wants Australia, not South Africa, and if people keep confronting Indonesian about Australia, it is getting harder for Australian free their land.
you give back the occupied African areas rather and let him be peace! Be spreading rather to the east...because SA is ours...!
isn\'t good, Indonesia has challenged SA so SA can unite?
btw, you ask us to spread to the east, where is the way to east anyway? chile? argentina?
it is not easy being Indonesian with so little choice, so we must use each path wisely, not simply steamrolling and make quick decision on war, aren\'t we?
btw, what happened with the war anyway, too much for the server?
SA is country, UK is another.
Just because we fight for SA it doesn\'t mean that we HAVE to be Indonesia\'s enemy.
I think we have to be diplomatic and maintain a good relation with every country in eRep.
But that\'s just me.
there is truth for both according to me! but indonézia attacked my country because of this now unfortunately natural,that I ask for others\' help with finding it out to save. Dot than the truth in a life. ennyi.
It\'s true Indonesia isn\'t a direct enemy of the UK, but it is an indirect enemy of the whole of erepublik - as things stand Indonesia is out for imperialism, and until that stops the whole of erepublik should be wary of them.
Indonesia is out for imperialism?
Are we such nation?
Perhaps, nevertheless we do it differently.
If we are such imperialists, we won\'t let South Africa allied with PanAm, we should simply take over their land, instead we make it harder for us
If Indonesia such imperialists, we took Thailand first instead of Australia, since it should be much easier and you can clearly saw that Indonesia currently protects Thailand?
Are the whole Erepublik against imperialism anyway, or just say, against invading other country? We have already 19 wars in the new world.
With the ever increasing productivity points, where do you find such great tool to decrease wellness other than war, in Erepublik system.
Yeah that\'s it, Erepublik system make us go war.
You can say that Indonesian looking for war, yes, we\'re looking for challenges, but it is not simply for expansionism.
Witness the ugly face of what we are up against, people, and unite against this common foe.
Common foe? Yea yea
Indonesian has nothing to do with Europe anyway.
Who said anything about Europe?
The English speaking world will be liberated from foreign oppression!
@William...so essentially we should go into group huddles of our primitive villiage racial gangs? Diversity my friend, peace and diversity! Not going back to our primitive tribes based on race and so forth!
So are you content with the Indonesian oppression of our Australian brethren, Sam?
Well nope. I\'m not with any opression regardless of the country!
Regardless of whether they are english speaking, or \"foreign\" or anything else! I support the liberation of all the countries that are occupied - China = India = Australia and so forth.
Belgium?
Belgium my friend MERGED with the UK - they were not in any way shape or form occupied or opressed and I will support the break up of Belgium when they wish for it to take place.
I hope you agree with my above general statement and follow the idea of liberation to ALL countries regardless of hteir language their speak, their race, and so forth?
Not their \"Britishness\" or historical alliance to Britain but instead due to the principle.

Are you telling me there was some kind of agreed plan that Belgium would foot the 150 gold to start the war, and then allow themselves to be conquered by Britain?
I am simply telling you that htey merged hence the notion that Britain opress Belgium is simply a fallacy. You seem to have doged my question a bit 😛! Would like to know that you do agree.
You seem to be dodging my question about Belgium: there was a war and the UK won it and conquered Belgium. That wiki article makes no attempt to explain any of this.
And no, I actually disagree with your statement: I see the pacification of the Russia Bear and Red China as positively good things, and applaud our allies on their victories.
I have stated that they merged, belgium and e-UK at both of their consent!
Wow, so a coutry can be opressed as long as it fits your way of thinking!! Talk about fairness and equality and a level playing field! 🙁
I\'m not buying this merger thing. Do you just expect me to take your word for it and believe some unsourced wiki page, even though the game itself says there was a war?
Ask around. You cant argue with facts though I know you love arguing on everything - this one is a no no.
Plus once again you have showed yourself to be shallow. Double standards. One must live by the sword and die by the sword not have one set of \"freedom from opression\" for some you like and no freedom for others you do not. Do not merge real life with this game in terms of countries.
While ever this game has real countries in it, I will want to protect the ones that contain my kith and kin (in RL) to be protected from foreigners.
If foreigners want to conquer each other, on the other hand, I will just tag along for the experience.
