War
Herr Vootsman
My fellow Americans,
It with great seriousness that I write you today. I have proposed an airstrike on Croatia. I do this not out of a desire for conquest or revenge or even lulz. I had hoped, when I ran for Country President, to rule over a country at peace. I wanted to focus on player engagement. I wanted to strengthen relations with our neighbors. I wanted to grow our role in Apollo, having only recently been accepted as full members.
Things changed prior to the election, and I knew that this month was going be dramatically different than I had hoped or expected. As I mentioned in my campaign, recent events have shifted the global balance in favor of CODE. It did not take long for CODE to act. Italy is gone, Romania cores are conquered, various allied bases (for training wars) were destroyed. Our allies are slowly being picked apart. It’s not just Asteria; they interfered on our soil and without provocation booted Paraguayan training war allies. Now Russia is under attack and we are next.
I’ll be honest: I wish our side was stronger. I wish we were stronger. I wish my account were stronger.
We must make do with what we have.
This entire term, I have been mulling over various defensive strategies. It quickly became obvious that what may have seemed a good idea on paper would not work well in reality. We will be invaded and wiped if we do nothing. When our allies asked if I would be interested in assisting in their counterattack with a preemptive strike, I considered our options and realized this was the only choice with a chance for us to come out on top. Even if we lose, this is an opportunity to show the world that we are good allies.
Whether you like the plan or not, I am asking for your help tomorrow. Everyone’s damage counts. Read the country feed or better yet, join discord. There are instructions here:

Regulators! Mount up.
I do love a good presidential Airstrike! o7
Lets do this!
"It’s not just Asteria; they interfered on our soil ..."
- Are you surprised? That's what you get when you betray your allies!
"I’ll be honest: I wish our side was stronger. I wish we were stronger."
- I ish you a beautiful wipe with a few month without congress! LMAO

Can't say I agree, but I do suppose they would have been looking to wipe us sooner or later.
Let's hope this goes better than I think it will. Not gonna lie been looking forward to a real war.
eUSA will have my support in the coming war.
Fantastic attitude, in my opinion, and it is quite similar to the way I feel. I will be all-in.
I do agree with the CP that the best option we have in front of us is to take some kind of action.
Let's lick those Asterian boots with more joy & saliva!
Lets have some fun! Win or lose.. (psst, lets win tho but dont tell them that, shhh sekret)
haha erep banning asterian accounts resulting a complete flip in power goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Didn't see that coming, rite?
I did.
Getting my bear arms ready o7
Time to use the EBs I have put away for just such a day
Save it till the FLIP-FLOP back!

Retaliate first
Sounds good
No surrender!
Ukraine (Apollo member) is attacking Russia (Pacifica member) together with Turkey (CODE member).
This is just one hell of a mess. Will be fun to see how diplomacy and alliances are going to shift & reshuffle after all these clusterf**ks.
turkey is not a member of CODE, apolo third-class alliance xd
Apollo is hardly an alliance in a proper way, but had to describe the clusterf**k somehow.
The Ukraine situation is terrible, I agree, and I will go on record saying that they have acted independently without Alliance blessing.
I will also conjecture that what Ukraine is thinking is also "reasonable". I believe they see the end of eRepublik on the horizon, and this is their last hurrah - the pursuit of a long-desired goal to wipe Russia.
There's also a bunch of RL stuff mixed in with it which I think is stupid.
They see it as the end, I see it as a new beginning. This could cause the entire alliances reshuffle considering everyone will fight against everyone in there. Old powers lost their strength, and in a long term the current balance is unsustainable. We need to be clear about what do we want.
Empires always have the hubris to think they are indestructible, when in fact they are always unsustainable. - Marianne Williamson
You are justifying a useless thing Gnil. All Ukraine can wipe is 1 region currently occupied by Israel. They are just Turkish puppets in this war.
@khotko my friend, ukr would probably attack you with anyone in this eworld. Ofc its better to do it with another neighbour of russia imo. Afterall, I wouldnt say puppet, I would say determined in this case. Congratz to nimnul's magical bh defense system which made russia a part of polish empire 🙂
@Khotko - You misunderstand, I will not justify Ukraine's action. I deplore it. I am merely attempting to explain what they THINK they are doing, and trying to understand it from their mindset.
I want to see hostilities against Russia end.
"I think is stupid."
wtf, you create other accounts and lie about it, you deceive RL people via this game
you are so f-cking corrupt you lost your right to call other things stupid, stupid!
@MightAndMagic well, you would have to fight both Poland and Russia in any way, mate. With that many mavericks you have a good chance. On diplomatic, bh, nimnulism and other things I think it's obvious that their time begins in April, whoever the presidents 🙂
itt we FINALLY find out how George really feels
@KrapGnil, you have not found a thing, spend more time - money - energy and still IT (the thing you look for) will allude you ...
RL stuff cannot be stupid in any case in this game. While playing a simulator of RL-politics you should understand that RL stuff is the inevitable part of the game.
Khotko here in the comments used a term "a bunch of Nazi retards" towards Ukraine - it's also a rl-stuff nevertheless it has nothing in touch with truth or reality except the Ru-emperial propaganda.
So I'd rather estimate the approach to distinguish rl-stuff of in-game-stuff as a stupid one in this game.

You'd better chew not talk, Mr alt-right Mofa, cause your predecessor cites WWII Nazi propaganda and doesn't give a sh*t about your lies here

Yeah, Khotko, I'm pleased you loved it. Your reaction really makes that article sense though.
I don't react to tasteless things. And you should be ashamed of being idiots just in order to provoke others, that's behavior more suitable for an animal than for a civilized man. I just gave your new alliance partners may have illusions about your nature some info to think about. Though probably they don't, given that they airstriked you before and will probably do it again sometime.
Everything could be well in your logic, except the fact that you fully understand the provocative character of the article and try pretend a tasteless and meaningless provocation as an evidence of... of what?) Of your thesis on "a bunch of nazi retards"?) Well, you seemed to be more clever, though, you appeared to be a typical Russian, surrounded by nazis and terrorists of all shapes. Yeah, enjoy your wonderful world, it's so hilarious.
I seriously doubt any adversary of USA or other real life analog of an Allied country would post Nazi propaganda in this game to provoke someone. You have no taste. And thanks for reminding of terrorists, your American partners should be happy to have a guy with a flag of a terrorist organization whose sympathizers did the Boston Marathon bombings.
Gnilraps, I guess you could pay more attention to what RL stuff your so called allies mix up in the game.
@Kbotko. you never heard of SEES the not so faux nazi group that KrapGnil himself stated he missed and wished to restore?
o7 and thanks from (still) eRomania!
You have to be a fool to think we can win 1v1 against Croatia.

Not saying this is too helpful, didn't check the borders, but seems like we're going to fail fighting together 🙂
Nobody believes we can win 1v1 against Cro.
CURRAHEE

Well ! I may get Legend XX before Easter 😃
The AS law was a precipitate act
Wipe is coming
Do you think wipe wasn't coming anyway?
you destroy the eUS community and how think you have the right to speak for the community you destroyed?
Hi George
