The imminent threat eIndonesia poses and how the eUS really showed them[EN]

Day 801, 17:55 • Published in USA Romania • by Lutan Fyah

Yep, you've guessed it (probably not), another pissed-off eRomanian bitching about the eUS and how they never helped us. Well, this pissed-off eRomanian is different. "How?" you ask? Easy, I've been part of the States' two most prestigious units and therefore put know a wee-bit more than your average poo-flinging flamer(not as much as officials, but I'm not claiming to be one, am I?).

This is my second attempt at getting some kind of feedback from regular eMerican citizens(seems like you guys aren't big on track-backing to an article xD). So here goes:

Following the flame-wars between our dear eMerican friends (burger guzzlers or whatever eRomanians are calling you guys these days) and our just as dear loud-mouthed silent-brained(not all of them ,mind you) eRomanians, the justification for the utter lack of allied help received in the past few days(I could say weeks, but I won’t) finally came: Pushing Indonesia back to it’s original territories, killing the lots-of-headed dragon and the destruction of the Indonesian economy. The true problem surfaces:

-Indonesia hasn’t mattered (internationally) for a few good months.

-The heads of the dragons were really reduced to one bridge-head to Peru’s high iron region (I should mention that the said bridge-head was impossible to utilize considering the fact that Indonesia deals under 1milion damage/battle)

-Indonesia waved buh-bye to it’s economy as soon as the swapped Western Cape to Argentina(Western Cape being an actual fortress region and the main diamond extraction region for them).

-Meanwhile, if you take a look at the statistics for this battle, you can notice the astonishing damage dealt by the South-Africans: 100k. From my own experience I can honestly tall you that this country’s active population isn’t over 200 players(most of them being foreigners anyway).

And my biased conclusions:

eMericans argue that it was pointless to help secure a region which would have been lost anyway(being attacked every other day). And they are perfectly right, but Indonesia could also attack Northern Cape the first moment when the eMericans have more important stuff to attend to than the safety of South Africa(which could be anytime really) and take it back. South Africa doesn’t have the population to be a viable objective and the American 2-clickers won’t always be there to get them out of the claws of Indonesia/Brazil/Argentina(talk about Role-playing as opposed to clear tactical thinking).

Indonesia is long dead and they gave up the status of superpower completely the moment they gave away Western Cape, eMerica didn’t kill them with the battle of NC, they were practically kicking a corpse(pardon the metaphor).

America has well-trained military corps. and there’s also a lot of them(523 soldiers moved to Northern Cape is a pretty good example-without counting the ones with non-American citizenships and the ones that didn’t make it to the battlefield). The “we can’t be everywhere all the time” argument would be relevant only if eRomania didn’t have one of the largest mobile forces in the eWorld and didn’t know what something like this implies.

What I'm basically trying to relay here is how an averagely-educated(in terms of game-mechanics) player might see the justification for the lack of support eRomania has been getting in the Balkans.
As for the utter lack of importance some of these battles presented...well, Serbia currently shares a border with Greece. Let's assume for a second that Phoenix decides to take Central Greece away from EDEN(because it's not only a Greek region, it's an EDEN high iron region).

What would the cost to defend Central Greece from this assault be? Would the Asian reign in Africa be replaced by a South-American one during this conflict?
