Tani, cancel the bombing. But blocade Pakistan both from land and sea. If they invade, invade them with the entire army and air force.

Blockading is treated as an act of war, internationally speaking.

Embargoing, on the other hand, is something internal to the nation doing the embargo.

[christos200]

We wont attack them. We will embargo them both from air and land.

We wont attack them. We will embargo them both from air and land.

Do you not know what the difference between an embargo and blockade is?

 

[SamSniped]

And can I ask what Pakistan did wrongly, China?

The GUNS would like to take this oppurtunity to point out that terrorist organisations such as the Red Lancers are a threat to global peace, as seen via the Templar-Orchestrated rebellion in the Americas. As such, quashing terrorist bases should be of foremost concern, and whilst we would rather individual states do this in their own territory, any state knowingly harbouring terrorist organisations should be treated as members and accordingly destroyed. The Invasion of Pakistan to exterminate terrorsit bases there if they refuse to do so is thus perfectly justified, and should be encouraged.

The PUB joins the other nations Condemning Chinese actions and proposed operations involving Pakistan, and beleive that any 'terrorist' operations there should be handled by the local government or their allies.

OOC: Yes, GUNS just declared the Bush Doctrine. Or should I call it the McFascist Doctrine?

Let me put this in terms you MAY understand:

EMBARGOING is just X nation saying "I won't trade with Y nation." Example: China embargoes Pakistan. Just means China is saying it won't trade with Pakistan.

BLOCKADING is X nation saying "I won't let anyone trade with Y nation." Example: China turns back Korean planes conducting commerce between Korea & Pakistan. China doing this would be an act of war against both Korea & Pakistan.

About 34 hours or so until lock, everyone. That is, 8 AM GMT.

NGO-controlled countries show up as independent or cliented by another country; NGOs can even arrange for their new clients to pretend to be your clients.

Since some coups happen randomly(thus making it hard to determine black ops-triggered vs. natural), they also decide between becoming free or becoming a client of someone else randomly. It is entirely possible, albeit rare, for a naturally couped nation to choose to remain loyal to its current suzerain.

It makes it hard to guess who's doing what.

If China does not lift its blockade from Pakistan, Siberia will go to war to stop Chinese influence in the world.

Siberia, if China blockades Pakistan, it is providing a casus belli for every nation trading with Pakistan.

Means Korea is with you on this.

Takrur takes its definite stances, and will defend Pakistan in the event of any aggressive actions towards it. There is also no justification for any blockade or embargo, so there is absolutely no reason why Takrur should negotiate with this. We shall not deal with terrorist acts such as those planned by the Chinese government, who would attack or extort innocent countries for either personal benefit or no benefit whatsoever.

Spoiler OOC :

Wow, this went to hilarity pretty fast.

Indeed it does. I would suggest that China sticks to merely embargoing Pakistan, since a blockade involves directly attacking commerce entering and leaving a nation it can be construed as contrary to your agreement (although since this area is vague it will have to be discussed with Italy if worst comes to worst and you [God-forbid] proceed with your folly, if we come to a consensus that a blockade constitutes an attack the automatic expulsion clause would apply since its our opinion on the matter that is important, not yours)

The Papal States suggests that China refrain, and that it instead engages in dialogue with Takrur to assuage its concerns of NGO control over Pakistan instead of engaging in unilateral and aggressive action.

ooc:

Spoiler :

indeed it did degenerate to hilarity, hopefully Christos understands that a blockade at this time against Pakistan is not to his benifit in so many ways and thus accedes to merely embargoing. That said, I would urge you to engage in a scan of your territory and those of your clients. It does no harm to you and you can gain political kudo's by showing Christos as an aggressor without cassus belli

 

[christos200]

China will not blockade Pakistan. However it will embargo it.

SUPERFLUOUS POST: Internet troubles caused an accidental double click.

 

[Jehoshua]

good.

And thus the IRA system at least shows its somewhat capable of keeping peace in east asia, even though naturally every instance is a case by case basis.

 

[Tyo]

It has yet to explain why it hates Pakistan so much...

 

[christos200]

Because i have information that the GLA made a coup in Pakistan.

 

[Tyo]

Information that only you seem to know.

 

[christos200]

You shall see that i am right.

Orders locked. However, it's crunch time in college so this update will be in particular slow.
