The current alliance system - "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"

Day 1,637, 15:46 Published in France Japan by Principe Alessandro

Greetings.

In this article I want to explain how personally I view the current alliance system and considering the situation I thought that the best way to describe it is through the title and the characters of a western film: “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”.
The main characters in this film are an arrogant bounty-hunter that sometimes shows piety toward the unfortunate people, a ruthless and cold killer who doesn’t care to employ evil means to reach its goals and a comical bandit that despite his appearance can be really dangerous.
The bandit (the Ugly) and the bounty-hunter (the Good) don’t really like each other but their are forced in a complex and difficult hate-love relationship in order to defeat the killer (the Bad), in reality both of them are seeking how to exploit their partner for their own advantage.

Like in the mentioned film we have three main protagonists in the current alliance system.

TERRA “The Good”



TERRA was created after that many countries were fed up with the previous two-headed alliance system, basically in the previous alliance system there were two main opposing alliances (PEACE-Atlantis and Phoenix-EDEN) and the countries had no choice but to join one of the two alliances, eventually this system collapsed because encouraged the tyranny of few stronger nations over the other allies. TERRA is the response of those nations that don’t want to be anymore enslaved and bullied by their allies under the threat of leaving them as the prey of the opposing alliance, on the other hand this supposed moral superiority may lead the members of this alliance to be arrogant and patronizing.

ONE “The Bad”



ONE is the alliance created by the strongest countries in EDEN (Spoland) and Phoenix (Serbia, Hungary, Indonesia, Macedonia.....). The main goal of this alliance is really simple: power through military occupation and the enslavement of their former weaker allies in Phoenix and EDEN.
This alliance, founded upon the betrayal of former allies, has no soul, it is selfish and it doesn’t care about the means to reach its main objective but on the other hand it is highly rational and has the most powerful military.

EDEN “The Ugly”



EDEN is the alliance created from the ashes of ATLANTIS. EDEN is the oldest of the three alliances but has changed a lot, many countries has left and joined this alliance to the point that even if it has the same name de facto is totally different from what used to be in the past.
After the “Spolish” betrayal EDEN should have been dismantled and another alliance created from its ashes but was kept alive by the Cromanian determination and their adaptability to the new international situation. Croatia, Romania and Greece employed every possible mean in order to resist the oncoming onslaught from ONE inviting many countries to join the alliance. On the other hand this policy has led EDEN to become a strange, incoherent and comical patchwork of different countries plagued by endless drama.

“The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” - Who shall win?



Now that we have introduced the main protagonists I explain my opinion about how they relate with each other.

If ONE (the Bad) is viewed as an enemy by both TERRA (the Good) and by EDEN (the Ugly) the relationship between the last two isn’t really a sincere alliance but rather a collaboration based on convenience: they need each other but they don’t really love each other.

There are many differences between TERRA and EDEN and it isn’t a secret that many members of TERRA and EDEN are plotting against each other: Israel-Cyprus, Turkey and Ukraine-Russia and the plots coming from Argentina (a EDEN country) definitively led to Chile being kicked out of TERRA damaging the alliance.

In the overall picture TERRA and EDEN are only exploiting at their advantage each other.

ONE being the most rationale of the three alliances can take advantage of this situation trying to strike a separate deal with TERRA or EDEN countries.

Unlike in the film the end isn’t yet written. Who shall win?

For sure I invite TERRA members to be more cautious about fully supporting EDEN considering the plots coming from the Ukraine-Turkey-Argentina trio against TERRA members.
