[CP]Flexing our Muscle

Day 4,657, 12:42 • Published in USA USA • by VoxHumana


Citizens of eUSA,

Greetings to you, and salutations from the Office of the President.

We need to talk about the sudden and urgent military operation that we participated in just last night.



As I mentioned to you in my first article as CP, the only thing that truly matters to any Country President is summed up in the answer to the following question: what is best for eUSA?

And I believe that our period of neutrality has been very good for us. President Bubblar made a very difficult decision to leave the Code alliance, despite taking criticism.

Briefly reviewing the reasons for that departure, we recall a history of uneven relationships within Code that devolved further once our NAP with Asteria was in place. Code was, at least for eUSA, an alliance that never truly came together. And when circumstances became difficult, it all came apart for us quickly.

I speak for most of my fellow government leaders when I say that we are glad we left. Many of us still enjoy good friendships with some of the individuals whose citizenship places them in the Code alliance, but from the standpoint of international diplomacy, eUSA has distanced herself quickly and she is not looking back.




Fast Forward to now.

It was my intention to enjoy the relative ease of neutrality.

Our NAP is the Foreign Affairs version of “cruise control”, and given the fact that we are in the dog days of RL summer, that sounded like a pretty good deal.

Then, as my administration’s additions to our Foreign Affairs team got acquainted with the mechanics of coordination that is taking place between USA and Serbia, UAE, Columbia, Iran, Bulgaria, Romania, Portugal, and our other TW partners, something became immediately clear.

Asteria HQ has organized itself with very-high-functioning channels of communication from HQ outward such that I/we, a mere training war partner, feel like a full member of a team.

I was not expecting that.

And so while we were still hearing the echoes from the pro-Code voices criticizing us over our departure, we are being treated with dignity by the members of the Alliance who had just months earlier been running train over us.

And being the new kid on the block, I have to say, I’m impressed.



Yesterday, we actually got a little taste of what high-level coordination looks like. We were involved in an operation with one of our Training War partners, namely Iran.

They were facing a strong resistance from Chile in Zona Sur. We were asked to participate in that defense.

And we did provide a solid boost to the Iranian forces which eventually held Chile back.

Five of the top 20 damage dealers were wearing the Stars and Stripes, along with 10 of the top 40.

12 Medals were taken by the likes of King Harambe, Gnilraps, WhydoIbothertoo, Captain Patrick, and others.

But more than the grace and acuity of our own fighters, what impresses me most about the joint operation with Iran was its very purpose.



We were asked to offer our damage to the Zona Sur operation because our Training War partners in Asteria were protecting Paraguay.

That’s right, Paraguay.

In the words of one Asterian official, “even though Paraguay got wiped, their damage and hard-fighting attitude was impressive, so we found a solution, and yesterday we freed them.”

That’s what happened, folks. After 40 mind-numbing days of Hot Summer Boredom; after 40 days of battling each other for the “first hit”; after 40 days of chasing 5G+4G+3G+3G, we finally fought a meaningful fight.

We partnered with eIran and we helped Paraguay - another former Training War partner - establish security on what few borders they have.

In short, Argentina was attacking Pamas, hoping to gain a border with Paraguay (red arrows), so Chile RW’d Zona Sur to distract Iran’s damage.



This was a legitimate military action, and we got to play!

For the winning side!!!

So I want to thank Asteria for including us in that battle, I want to congratulate Iran for their victory, I want to celebrate with Paraguay for her security, and I want to thank every eUS fighter who dropped damage in Zona Sur last night.

I also pass along the following thanks from Faraz.RevengeR, the Iranian Campaign Hero from Zona Sur:

Hello there, I saw some Americans were fighting for us against Chile during the night time including you. I wanted to thank you guys personally, we appreciated it. O7



One final note:

This is a benefit of our current NAP. We were given the option to participate in a serious operation to protect an unallied nation. We decided our nation's fighters needed a meaningful battle to wage, so we jumped in with both feet.

And I’m glad we did.
