Two wars actually, looking at Mexico. All over the span of six years. If you want to claim six years of aggressive military campaigns is just as bad as a declaration of war intent on stopping another such action, feel free.

@ eduhum, I don't think the S word is allowed in the forums. Regardless, I am laughing. :p
 
So why are you going to war? You are an empire (which is almost by definition imperialist) trying to stop a democracy from invading a self described military junta. The democracy (PAU) is invading in order to eliminate a dangerous neighbor that likely doesn't treat its citizens very well since it is a military junta. And you are using the very same excuse, attacking a 'dangerous' (in your perception) neighbor. Doesn't that make you dangerous and belligerent as well?
 
OOC: Was the last page just a big back-n-forth conversation that shouldn't have been here?

All of these issues were addressed and countered in the previous discussion, and as I've said before, this war has nothing to do with the ideological alignments of our respective nations.

Also, sorry that this debate took up so many pages of the thread. I would've done it in IOTchat if I had access to it at the time.
 
As a neutral observer, I can say that Germany has lost the game of words, because at first they say that they are waging war against PAU to defend a democracy (which does not make sense, even if they were really a democracy, because Germany is an Empire not a democracy) and when their ally is revealed to be a Military Junta, they change the whole idea to "defending nations from PAU aggression", thus completely changing the reason for which they wage war.
 
Again, the first statement I made in regards to the Vancouver government was NOT a declaration of war goals, and the goal from the start was to contain PAU aggression, as it was suggested in the ultimatum.

Your aggression has gone on long enough.

Now stop making IC arguments about a mistake I made OOC.
 
the Roman Emperor waits to hear from Germany, since war is declared: do you want us to join in the war?
 
Not if you do not wish to join us.
 
The PAU has no intention of waging a war anywhere else other than North America. If Australia and the UAR refrain from naval activity in the Pacific Ocean, including the convoying and shipping of arms in the Pacific, then the PAU will have no need to be actively engaged in the Pacific.

Otherwise, Australia and the UAR will be guilty of expanding the war into the Pacific, against the wishes of GEAR.
 
Can the war declarations wait till after the update? It's soft lock afterall.
 
The continued shipping of arms is an issue though. However, I would like to ask for clarification, would military vessels from Australia and elsewhere be able to navigate freely so long as they don't partake in military actions in the region?
 
The continued shipping of arms is an issue though.

No it isn't. Any military shipping across the Pacific to support the NWU will be construed as military shipping, and hence subject to PAU response as it is in our self-defense.
 
I am referring to shipping across the Pacific to support the PAU. You're not supporting your case by making the clause seem unfeasible.
 
Shame points added to Lec and Sonereal.

Please raise yourselves above the petty insults level.

WHY WE FIGHT
OR WHY THE CLOCKS SPRING FORWARD
Issued by ASIN

"Why We Fight" is a twenty-eight minute program posted on the Texark-American intranet service, as well as aired on all major networks during prime time. This is an excerpt.
*****

The United States of America was born in 1776 and in a baptism of fire emerged triumphant in her revolutionary war against an empire in 1783.

In 1812, America once again had to defend herself against an empire hellbent on her destruction and the subjugation of her people to monarchical rule. Once again, the American people triumphed.

The story of America is littered with our proud nation opening her doors to those seeking prosperity and freedom in the land of the free and brave. Ours is a nation of idealists, fleeing the monarchs of Europe and Asia to make a better future for themselves and their children.

However, we have made mistakes. When we tried to make the world safe for democracy in 1917, conditions outside our control, specifically the greed of the European emperors, led to the United States failing to achieve her goal of making a world ripe for free markets, free people, and free government. We retreated into ourselves, saying we shall never get involved again.

Then 1939 happened. We stood and watch as the Germano-Austrian forces of the Reich rampaged across Europe, slaughtering millions. We said, "It can't happen here!" We felt safe and complacent behind the Atlantic and Pacific Walls right up to the moment Japan attacked.

My fellow countrymen. The government will admit we did not achieve all we desired in our war against the NWU. We wanted to bring mass murderers to justice and restore the northwest portion of the former United States, of whom we claim descent, to republican democracy. Thanks to the machinations of the Austro-Hungarians, Arabs, and Turks, we failed.

But we can't fail now. The Austro-Hungarians, Arabs, and Turks conspired during those five long years. The NWU is no longer just a military junta. It has become the Springboard of Tyranny, through which the Tripartite Dictatorships of Austria-Hungary, Arabia, and Turkey seek to dive into the American heartland.

Look at the recent statements by the Austro-Hungarian Emperor.

No, but we're prepared to sacrifice several men to save Vancouver from a democracy that vastly underestimates the forces aligned against them.

FILM said:
...what business do you [Americans] have on the world stage?

FILM said:
..we are going to war to contain the PAU and defend the NWU

FILM said:
...we spent the last six years trying to invade Poland again.

Even the puppet Roman Emperor has thrown his support behind his Austro-Hungarian masters!

FILM said:
Austria may use Roman military to support their actions.

The continued existence of the NWU is a continued threat to the safety and security of the American people and American democracy.

To my fellow Americans I ask, "Will you make North American safe for democracy?"
 
the Roman Emperor notes that the PAU military strength on paper is only 22, while the total allied strength is 80.

the Roman Empire itself has 11. half that of the entire frigging PAU.

this may just be on paper, but its a forgone conclusion that the PAU will lose this war, because of their pathetic military.
