Addressing Some Claims Against Germany

Justin Tyme
Recently, there has been a lot of speculation and accusation regarding Germany that is blatant misinformation. I would like to take the time to honestly discuss some of these claims. I give you my word that I am being utterly sincere in this article- I swear that I am being truthful else I be damned to hell.
Some are saying that an MPP with the UK is just so "Germany can use the UK and toss it aside later". These claims are utter nonsense; for what reason would Germany so carelessly toss aside relations with the UK? We have the most absolute respect for the UK; we consider every nation that has good relations to Germany, such as the UK, to be friendly. To tarnish our mutual good relations would be foolish and uncalled for. The people saying Germany wants to "use" the UK make baseless claims that have no legitimacy.
Others say that Germany intends to somehow drag the UK into a future war with Poland. This is absolutely RIDICULOUS; what happened 6+ months ago has absolutely nothing to do with the current administration and I personally condemn Germany's war against Poland. These are more baseless claims that hold no water, it shouldn't even be discussed because there is nothing TO discuss.
And now, a quote from Toothpaste:
"The change is a god damn sweet news for Sweden and ATLANTIS but bad news for PEACE and the Moving Ticket industry. With this new rule and some careful planning we should be able to conquer what should be ours and make a giant autobahn out of Germany."
Taken from http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/mpp-changes-into-alliance-new-stuff-in-erepublik-726978/1/20
This is a blatantly bombastic and aggressive statement, the words speak for themselves. However, that is not the only incendiary article made by Toothpaste against Germany:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/suedia--730079/1/20
This is a translated version of Toothpaste's recent article regarding an alleged "PEACE" (more likely independent mafias) attack on Sweden's economy:
"My guess is that it is Germany (PEACE) that are on the go. They fear that we will attack them as soon as the admin gave the go-ahead to start the war again (today is the war blocked)."
Another baseless claim that is a dangerous statement. Shouldn't the President not make such incendiary implications? when I read this, I didn't even know what Toothpaste was talking about. He IS correct however that Germany fears Sweden will attack us; but why does he think this? Because it is he himself who drove relations to this point.
If anyone would like to ask a question, feel free to do so in the comments. I believe proper discourse is important in diplomacy, and I hope this article can serve as a starting point. I'll try to answer as many legitimate questions anyone has about this situation.
I realize that with the recent media articles, this may appear to be untrustworthy. However, I challenge anyone that believes I am not being honest to prove it. Unlike others, I have no reason to lie. Like I said, I absolutely swear on my heart that I am being honest and sincere. I have a lot of respect for the UK, as does all of Germany, so these recent acts of misinformation is tragic and sad.

Dear Mr Tyme, this may work on those who don't know Germany, and it's history, and current state of affairs, but it won't work on me. Yes, personally, I'd believe Sweden over Germany any day of the week given previous experience, and knowing what I do.
If anyone wants to chat regarding Germany, then please feel free to contact me, and I'll fill you in 😉

@dishmcds What does the history before the current administration matter? With Germany free and working, what is the need to invade Germany once more?
MortenLond, because it is in many ways the same guys in todays german administration that planned the attack on Poland six months ago.
Isy, the current german Minister of Defense was part of Pakistan administration back then and it was mostly Pakistan who encouraged the attack on Poland.
And why did Sweden attack Germany later? We did it because the german president asked us to do it! We even wrote a contract with him that can be found in the contract section.
Did Sweden followed that contract? Yes we did. Can the german president of the time confirm that? Yes he can.
Just ask him!
Ok, Justin Thyme is a new guy and should not be held responsible for the attack on Poland.
He just want to conquer another country and was pissed of when Sweden blocked that possibility.

Voted. I do no know what is the right thing to do, but these Swedish lies are insulting to our intelligence, and simply put me drive me away from our alliance with them
@CV: You're getting mixed up on who's "lying". In all honestly, since just about everything in this game is subjective, neither party is truly lying.
Yes, Germany is free, but does that mean we should turn our backs on Sweden, with whom has stood by our side for longer than anyone except maybe Ireland? No, absolutely not. What we're trying to get across is that Germany can be free, independant (which I don't believe anyway), etc, but they have to earn their "neutrality" label. Everyone seems to be so quick to "trust" a country who's messed up twice already, without making them actually work for it.
hey misho
I am new and German and i do not really know what happened in those days(6 month ago). Though information wasnt very good at all time and I sometimes questioned things I am happy about a free Germany and I like to see us as a part of a European Alliance in peace and brotherhood with our neighbours.
As most of you I do just know what is written in media (on both sides) and I have no prove for the informations given to me. But I have a basic trust in the current German politics because our leaders seem to be reasonable and the line they are following now (MPP with UK) is exactly what I am hoping for.
@Misho: as there is no search function in the forum yet, would you mind posting the link of that contract?
@Dishmcds: What do you expect us to do saying work for it? (this is a serious question, not at all ironic or competitive and I hope you can answer it to me, an interested citizen)
Bearing in mind, Relations with germany before WW1 in real life, were better than the relationship we had with France
@Jan Klose: to earn it, I expect you to do what each nation does. Remain honourable, strong to your allies, etc, rather than doing things like invading the Czech Republic, Poland, Sweden, or any other country.
Prove stability, honour, and trust. Once we are all aware that we can trust what Germans have to say, then we can talk 🙂
That we plan to invade Czech and Poland after our release is just propaganda -
the Czech president can explain that we have talked about a NAP and not about attacking them.
We have written an apology to Poland after what happened and we have told them to never ever attack them again.
Sweden is at the moment a difficult thing but we are optimistic to deal peace with them sooner or later.
So there is not such a thing and we have been trustworthy the last two and a half month. Just did what we already sai😛 Get our full independence and live good relations with our neighbours.
So we already have the trust of for instance Czech. We are ready to move and if Sweden has no plans of invading Germany then we should sign a NAP and end that trade embargo.
