We've been Subdued
Hampton H. Hampton
Now if I'm sitting at home downloading po....information on how to make the world a better place and a guy walks in and takes my TV, leaves and says "gimme $50 and you can have your TV back". I am most certainly not going to give that guy $50. I don't care if that guy is Chuck Norris and I don't care if I destroy the TV in the process of recovering it, I'm going to fight for what is rightfully mine. I have principles I stand on that will not be comprimised.
This "Peace Treaty" does just the opposit of what I beleive in. I also feel it does the exact opposit of what most of the American populace beleives. Motivational quotes like:
"I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees"
"Don't Tread on me"
"DEATH FIRST!!!!"
Were tossed out the window by the addministration of this country. We, the people of eUSA, are now the bitches of PEACE. We have made a statement to the world that it is ok to take our TV because we have no problem giving you $50 to get it back. Though you can keep the power cord, we'll buy that back for lots more money. (See CA, HI and AK) We should have stood our ground and let the TV get demolished and ourselves with it. THen brought up resistance wars everywhere we could and constantly bombard PEACE in every corner of the globe we could to let them know that even in the demise of our country that or spirit will never die.
Once long ago, in 1865 a man named Robert E. Lee surrendered his army for the greater good of the American people. Richmond, the confederate capitol, had been captured, Atlanta was under siege, not a horse remained in the city as all of them had been eaten by the starving populace. And the confederate army was pennyless. What he did was for the good of all humanity. He was met with the tears of his troops when he returned to his encampment. Met by men who were expecting, even after 4 long years, to abide by those three quotes above despite the odds against them. In RL, yeah, this was a good treaty, in a game though, all you do is sign a one way ticket to wussville.
The ePopulace of eAmerica was expecting a fight to the death and instead we get to be the IG version of RL France, know any other contry that has been labeled "sissy" perminattly?
I feel Emerick decided he had 2 options: 1) go down in history as the president in office when eAmerica was knocked of the map. 2) Try to salvage something and surrender. Well sir, I got to tell you there are alot more famous and well respected people throughout history who stood their ground and died for what the beleived in than people who surrended.
Harry Dick had decided to fight to the death. he may have totally effed up everything he touched, but it was a decision I respect. Emerick I respect you about as much as I respect a bag full of poo. You should have listened to the people of eAmerica not you own ego. Look at teh citizen count drop as the mass exits begin, both of peopel quitting and those moving to other countries.
On a side note, I saw the movie GI Joe over the weekend, I nearly vomited it was so bad. Seriously, I constantly wanted to leave my lunch on the floor because of the bombardment of dipshitness I was under. Don't go see it, infact if your planning on going to see it call me I'll pay you to go see a different movie, I care that much about your sanity. It follows the original GI Joe story line about as closely as Charles Darwin follows the Bible. I can go ahead and let you in on some of the jackassery that ensues, but It's early and I don't want you to A) laugh cheerios out your nose or 😎
Vomit said cheerios into your cubicle. Just don't go see it and when it comes out on video run from it, run as far as you can, don't stop, don't look back.

I agree! I was ready to fight to the death! We caved in for nothing and now we have to buy back our country? So I bet taxes are going to go up again to help pay for all these states we've lost. I'd rather live in Canada.

Trust me, having you country wiped from the face of the eWorld isn't nice. Also, if we cant stop the PEACE war machine as it is, how are we going to "resistance war" it back from them? At least this way you get to keep some of your country.
Hey I have had worse luck. First South Korea, then North Korea
Whats the old saying "Death before dishopnour"
I feel that should have applied when the eUSA was thinking about the treaty
I have an Indian citizenship. I'm good...
With a peace treaty, we can actually do something for our allies. If PEACE wipes out the country, the majority of the US won't be able to do anything to help our allies. Yeah, we could win a few regions back with resistance wars, but we won't be able to do much with them since they won't have any hospitals. Another thing PEACE could do is take everything except Florida. This way, we will have no economy, almost no companies, and we won't even get the wars against us stopped. Even if we could RW a few regions back, they would just get taken back immediately by the countries that have neighboring states under their control. The last thing PEACE could do is leave us with a state that doesn't even have a decent population and a low quality hospital (Connecticut) and take our Fortress states, leaving us entirely helpless and unable to do anything for our allies. Good luck winning back states with less than 200 people and a Q1 hospital.
This is a hard decision either way, but saying "we'll fight to the death" is actually the easy way out.
Death is lighter than a feather, duty heavier than a mountain.
How about a different reading. Some gang was busily trying to steal TVs around the neighborhood, but fortunately the TVs were recovered each time after a couple of days or weeks. Still only TVs were recovered and the culprits were smiling openly. Chuck Norris came and caught the bastards, depriving them of their own numerous TVs.
Now they can flee on a ransom. What do you support? Paying a ransom, or starting a revolt about TVs?
Thank you eusa for making all the citzens in the country hate the people that run our country even more. Death first. NO Surrender. Did we ever surrender as a nation before...NO NO NO. I have left the eusa, going to get new citzenship somewhere where there is honor. Some country eusa turned out to be.
Lol, it's all moot now since Russia declined and continued to attack. So for the fail train we have:
1) Announced to the world tha a Peace Treaty was signed, before it was.
2) No cease fire durning negotiations.
3) Going against what the majority of e USA wanted.
4) Gettign the treaty declined and surrendering Vermont in the process.
well done Emerick, you smacktard.
