Anglo-American Relations: An Irish Response.

Day 607, 09:41 • Published in USA Ireland

• by Brian Boru

I wrote an article last month regarding the disregard that the Americans had shown to the political circumstances that Ireland and the UK found themselves in. In that article, I referred to the complete contempt with which the British were treated. That article is still quite relevent to the current diplomatic crisis that has developed, but now attention must be turned onto the British.

Since that article, the largest invasion effort against a country's home territories in eHistory has started. The United Kingdom is absolutely complicit in said effort, which is the attempted usurpation of the United States and Canada.

The Government of the United Kingdom has shown complete and equal contempt for the sovereignty of the United States and Canada in aiding PEACE by blocking off counterattacks. This seriously endangers the long term relations of the Northern Atlantic countries. Even if PEACE achieve victory, it will be short lived, as the United States shows no signs of slowing down its rise, even in the face of this combined assault. As such, we can except great long term difficulties between the UK and the Fortis countries.

Rather than a path of reconciliation, the United Kingdom has abandoned its declared state of neutrality and has joined PEACE. While PEACE has no real problem with Ireland, it's rivalry with the United States does present a distinct problem for the Irish government and people. Just as the United Kingdom has shown contempt for American and Canadian sovereignty, it has shown contempt for Ireland by placing us in a position where we may have to choose between our allies.

While the declaration of neutrality helps to insure that we will not be dragged into this fight, it severely limits how much we can cooperate with any one of the countries involved. We cannot cooperate with the US or Canada lest we upset PEACE, and we cannot cooperate with the UK lest we upset the US.

Serious reflection is needed on how this situation came to be, on both sides of the Atlantic.

Serious reflection indeed.
Nice analysis Minister, you have been very "restrained" in considering your thoughts. LOL
People can learn from this. Read it carefully, citz.

I'd love to see Northern Ireland re-united with it's true owner, and I'm sure the US will be more than happy to help when the time is right.

Mannimarco Day 607, 09:59

Khytom, utterly wrong. US refused to give Ireland the north in return for joining them, even though it was discussed. Your promises are empty.

Good read!

To be fair tho' eUK didn't really have the choice of complete neutrality as its strategic location necessitated it making a choice.

eJapan was in a similar position in that it wasn't enthused about war and was rather split between those who remembered American transgressions and wanted to finish the journey from embattered defense of PEACE to victory and those felt that the journey ended with former enemies contained to their native regions.

"from the PEACE charter:
III. The PEACE Global Community shall be established as a defensive alliance that will pursue peace in good faith."

PEACE is the most aggressive and imperialistic alliance in the game. They do not follow their charter, or are too lazy and fat to change it to reflect their true tyranny.
If the eUSA asked to join PEACE today, What do you think would be PEACE's response?
So when asking "How this situation came to be?" One only need to look at what PEACE is doing in the New World today.

"So when asking "How this situation came to be?" One only need to look at what PEACE is doing in the New World today."

The US is not entirely blameless either.
Your insistence on certain terms in the Fortis arrangement ruined the first round of voting that would have gotten the alliance up before the UK defected.

That said, PEACE exacerbated the problem tenfold.

>and we cannot cooperate with the UK lest we upset the US<

Is there a stated eUS govt position on this?
