eUK Update

Day 604, 16:16 • Published in Ireland Ireland

• by Tomas O'Se

We have reached a precipice. The eUK this evening performed a hostile action against eUSA and eCanada.

http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-bep-dear-british-empire-party-860678/1/20

How long can our neutrality hold out? Until the Brits backed by PEACE start their invasion? You do realise how impaired America's shit-giving abilities will be if we suddenly want to be their friends the second the Brits knock on our door? If we side up with America now we will be taken down by PEACE. Quickly and efficiently. We may yet some help from America but it's not going to stop us getting wasted. They will f**k us up good.

What I'm trying to get across is that there is a huge difference between a nation getting taken over like the eUK over the past few weeks/months and a nation standing up and fighting. I for one would prefer to die in a hail of bullets than to be slowly rotted away from the inside.

I know a lot of you are very fond of the idea of a neutral eIreland. It is the position that provides the greatest security in the short term for our nation. That's the key phrase. Short term. There comes a time when we will have to chose our side. I absolutely refuse to a member of a nation that falls into subjugation quietly. When the Nazis took Oslo in 1940, they marched into the city with an Oompah band playing music in front of them. Not a shot was fired. I am not going down like that. For God's sake eIreland, let's at least die with honour.

I'm loading up my gun now. I pray that our government will find a peaceful solution. I pray that you will understand that honour is more important than gold.

I hope eGod is listening.

well said....

patton Day 604, 16:22

I have recognized it to and Im afraid for the continued existence of an Irish State. With War raging all around us it might be time to pick a side

Al Vlahovich Day 604, 16:23

The right choice !!!

Eamonn DeValera Day 604, 16:32

It is not the time to pick a side. We are neutral now and we will be for as long as we can. The time may come when we are forced to join sides, but that time is not now. We have an agreement and we have Raleigh with the UK. We are safe, so, for now lets keep our heads low and watch this war very closely.

Pip Kelly Day 604, 16:32

We pick a side and we will have no country.

Tomas O'Se Day 604, 16:38

@Pip and Bryan: I have total faith in our government knowing when to tell us to fight. Upon re-reading my article it does seem a bit over-eager. I suppose I'm just trying to get everyone revved up. It's such a shame watching an awesome war from the side-lines...

Eamonn DeValera Day 604, 16:39

Thats interesting pip, you were against neutrality a few hours ago! why the sudden change?

Fiontar Day 604, 16:40

Rubbish, the Brits were not taken over by PEACE, they are actually the brains behind Peace. Glados is a brit in RL and they are the puppet masters of the current world developments and bless them they are doing a great job of livening up this game.

We have no allegiance to the eUS, our media will be flooded by eUS citizens flaming and slagging us off for not 'fighting oppression' - when they just reaping their own karma, ignore their whining and do not take their side.

Eamonn DeValera Day 604, 16:40

Thomas,
IF you want to fight, by all means go and fight. It will do your experience the world of good.

Eamonn DeValera Day 604, 16:47

Thomas and Fiontar,
if you want to see what irelands position in the war is, read the foreign affairs update, it tells you everything.

Pip Kelly Day 604, 16:50

Well then we didn't have PEACE nation on our shoulder then and to be honest I wanted to help Canada but as a Congressman and PP I can't and also the fact my weapons company is going under.

Eamonn DeValera Day 604, 16:54

PEACE are not on our shoulder. Dont exadgerate.

Tomas O'Se Day 604, 16:56

They ARE on our shoulder but I'm not sure if and when they will invade.

Sean Power Day 604, 17:02

Surely eUK can be considered a de facto PEACE nation now Bryan?...... so they're more than on our shoulder..... but on our island 🙂

Eamonn DeValera Day 604, 17:03

Exactly, you are not sure thomas. Publishing articles like this cause public panic that we do not need.
PEACE have signed an agreement with us, its in the public dail forums. Read it.

Tayto Day 604, 17:03

Tomas, it's good to see the FIRE in your BELLY...BUT.....let PEACE / YANKS / BRITS /FRENCH and whoever go about their mutal destruction....God bless the IDF, but which ever MAD bunch of Invaders want to GOBBLE US UP...We will only be able to put up a token Fight.......So.....I know this will UPSET YOU....BUT we don't have too many options but to KISS all their ASSES, MASSSAGE their EGO's and Sell them good Guinness and Aran Jumpers.....Why Choose Dying with Honour, when you don't have to die at all!!!*Tayto heads off to the PUB*

Eamonn DeValera Day 604, 17:05

sean,
I am merely saying, there is no reason for anyone to invade us, we are neutral, we have agreements and the raleigh treaty with the UK.

Fiontar Day 604, 17:25

We have no high regions and no startegic positioning value. Its a shame really as it would really get people active if we got dragged into this war.
-Goes off to listen to RATM Bombtrack-

Pip Kelly Day 604, 17:28

Calm like a bomb
(Ignite Ignite Ignite Ignite)

Tomas O'Se Day 604, 17:28

@Bryan: I think the eIrish public has every right to feel slightly insulted at your insinuation that reading this article will cause mass panic. I had read the 'Irish Neutality Agreement' and the 'War Games' posts before writing this. Read my article again. It doesn't say to attack anyone. It doesn't even say that we immediately need to go out and join either belligerant.

I wrote it so that we could have this discussion now. All I really make clear in this article is how important honour is in times of war. And that it's better to die standing up than live on your knees. If this revelation has caused 'Public Panic' then I sincerely apologise.

elementor Day 604, 17:32

No reson for anyone to Invade us? LMAO Bryan, since when did anyone NEED A REASON? for fec sake wake up, The world is at war this is time not to be a bunch of pussys and hide, nor is it the time to choose the side we think is best for our own good it is the time to do the right thing and fight against the bad guys, and as far as I am able to make out that would be PEACE. fight fight fight if we lose at least it will be with HONOUR, PRIDE and DIGNITY!! The Irish rebel knows no fear when fighting the oppressors of the world. But then as far as I can tell there is little Irish left in this country. Because If you all can stand by and watch PEACE declaring themselves world leaders and destroying any country that stands up to them, and then call yourselves Irish then I am ashamed to call myself Irish.

Pip Kelly Day 604, 17:37

If your ashamed to be Irish that's your problem

elementor Day 604, 17:48

and if your a coward thats yours

Fiontar Day 604, 17:58

@ elem
The coward line was used extensively by US citizens spamming the UK boards afer their wargames with Hungary. The only effect it had was the whole of UK thinking all Americans take this game too seriously and are slightly unhinged.

You may have noticed the precision with which the battle has been fought, the fact are that we have no strategic value to either side so will not be invaded. I'm willing to make a 5 gold bet with you that we will not be invaded, you up for it or are ya a 'coward'

Pip Kelly Day 604, 18:04

I'm not a coward, I have a responsibility as a Congressman and PP that binds me to eIreland like I said to Bryan.

elementor Day 604, 18:58

I am not saying we will or will not be invaded now, I am saying we should not take a back seat is all. but I'll bet you 5 gold that if PEACE win this war and we don't sign up with them, we will be Invaded in the future, another 5 say it'll be by the Brits!

Irasian Day 604, 19:16

@elementor what time frame are you suggesting?

Kiemar Day 604, 21:09

Tomas your concerns are well placed, I feel the same way about sitting and praying as the world around us crumbles. However for right now neutrality is our best option. We are between a rock and a hard place. It is difficult to go into details in the public media. However, as MoFA rest assured that your concerns are shared by many, both public and administrative, and we will take whatever steps we must to protect our countries sovereignty and ideals.

Ian Arb Day 605, 00:30

PEACE would'nt want our medium grain Regions its no used to them. If we took a side we will be destroyed so neutral is the safe path to go.
@Thomas O'Se : No one needs to panic we will fine FA team are doing their best. So just relax.

Ian Arb Day 605, 00:32

And Pip is not a coward how you think he got Poltician of the month ?

micutzu Day 605, 00:53

This is just another piece of PEACE propaganda!

Fiontar Day 605, 01:02

This is more like Fortis propaganda, if you want peace propaganda then read my newspaper.

@ Elementor, what timeframe are you talking about for being invaded? draft up a contract there and i'll relieve you of that 5 gold.

Tomas O'Se Day 605, 02:33

A few things.

1. This isn't propaganda for either side.

2. Don't worry everyone. I've calmed down! I understand now that we're of little strategic importance. If PEACE wanted Ireland, they could have had it easliy by now. I was just reacting to the news that eUK is now a member of PEACE. Scary! I saw how they had been taken over by PEACE. From the inside. Covertly. And I just thought, f**k that. That's all my article meant to say! I don't want us to join anyone if the MoFA doesn't think it's a good idea. He has more information than me.

3. Thanks for all your comments and votes. There's nothing like knowing that you've sparked off a little debate!

Eamonn DeValera Day 605, 03:07

Tomas,
It was good that you had concern, it gave us the opportunity to address them. They UK in many ways is PEACE, their president, Hassan Pearsan is a former head of PEACE as far as I know. Good debate!!
