Imperium Offtopicum: Valkyrie

Which will create partisans. Lots & lots of partisans.
Also the fact that you're going to make the PCB martyrs and communism is going to be even more welcomed in Brazil

Or until communism is removed from Brazil.

OOC: Gotta love the interventionalist US in the 1920s.
Also, Warren G. Harding died in 1923; Calvin Coolidge should be in charge of the US now.

He died IRL in 1923; this is not real life. I'm having quite a bit of fun with my alt-hist interventionist Harding, so unless the GM demands Harding die, I'm in no rush to kill him off.

Or until communism is removed from Brazil.

You may find it hard to find a country covered in jungle hard to invade with tanks.

Do we not have flame? Communism shall be purged with flame and bayonet.

Burning down a rain forest is going to be difficult.

Who said anything about the rainforest?

Most of Brazil is covered in rain forest.

Imagine invading Russia (Brasil is the size of European Russia), but with an insanely hot climate, full of mountainous/jungle/swampy terrain (unlike the flat Russian steppe), and doing it amphibiously.

Also, you would be invading Brasil to remove Communists from power when it is scientifically proven that Communists are 500% more badass than everyone else.

More like invading Canada. You just have to take out a small chunk of it to win.

Not that the US has a reputation for doing that successful, though.

 

[W|M]

You don't take small chunks out of Brasil or Canada to win. To even have a chance of winning against Brasil, you need to pretty much take the entire coastline, which is almost 7500km long - the approximate distance between Tokyo and Moscow.

 

[Kinich-Ahau]

Of course, at this point, this is all hypothetical, since the PCB has yet to take over Brazil.

The United States of America offers to protect the Brazilian government from the Communist menace; we request that you allow us to station troops in Brazil, to put down any attempted PCB takeover.

 

[Tyo]

PCB is a party.

 

[Kinich-Ahau]

PCB is a party.

Luís Carlos Prestes has started leading an army of men around the country to gather up support for the PCB, while members of the PCB are gathering support among army officers (mainly in Rio de Janeiro) to help the Revolution.

VIVA A REVOLUÇÃO!

A party that is attempting an armed takeover.

OOC: The Iraq war didn't happen 80 years ago.... Silly US, jumping the gun.

The comparison is so far off the mark that it hurts.

I don't think there's much point in trying to stay IC anymore.

Anybody mind if I invade Belgium?

 

[Double A]

France and the Netherlands would.

The Netherlands would then welcome a second Glorious Revolution.

 

[Bowsling]

I think there may be an error in the stats; I should be at 20 army/27 navy rather than 26 army/20 navy.

 

[christos200]

Greece offers to send 4 armies to Brazil to help the Government.

OOC: I guarantee this will be like Vietnam, but 25 times worse.
