... riding on a pony, stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni.

Ahhh, there's nothing more frightening than eAmerican lack of self-awareness. eUS out of Sirius, booted out for pretty much what governments of that country have been doing since beta. And other governments. But still for being dicks.

First, the Canada situation. Nothing quite like burning your state's cash reserves, outdamaging a small country up to six times over what's required, largely ignoring your alliance obligations, all because the big bad Serbs MPPed up. Or maybe some of the boys wanted to loot the treasury indirectly using the war to do it. It seems to be a matter for debate in the US. Either way, it was not encouraging.

Then comes the current term. Negotiations take hold, largely on US terms despite mounting evidence that the American military campaign was essentially self-harm. Disengagement from Canada begins, but what happens afterwards? No pivot to alliance responsibilities or a grand scheme, and further shirking of duties. Conveniently forgetting to tell allies about negotiations with the enemy. Unilateral NAPs. Other cheeky shenanigans along those lines.

And boy oh boy, did the Yanks piss off half the world. The rest of the alliance were perfectly fine with dumping the Americans. Which given their recent set of governments, was an inevitability. So no more Brazil or US damage for Sirius.

Meanwhile, eIreland sits between some of the involved parties. Quietly wondering if the world's on some drug or another. While buying eChile lots of drinks.

Hail Aurora! 😛
