Canada and EDEN; Why We Should Not Attack Ireland (Yet)
Shoi12
Ah, I remember it as if it was just yesterday. Well, it was more like a week ago. 'CANADA LEAVES EDEN' was in bold print for the entire population of 400 men and women of the maple leaf to see. I immediately facepalmed and thought to myself, "What has Canadia gotten itself into today?" Turns out, Canada decided to part ways with their alliance of 3 years, EDEN, of which they were one of the first members. This immediately struck me with confusion; if we're all on the same side, why are we bothering with abandoning a friendly alliance? The more I looked into it, the more I understood the perplexing logic; taking orders from two HQs can be quite difficult. So, still a bit puzzled, I let the issue pass.
That is, until recently when I saw many alliances with EDEN members disappear before my eyes. Belarus, Philippines, shot down. And this surprised me. If they're our friends, why aren't we trying to help them? I read some more data and technical stuff, and I figured out the reason; it costs money to maintain alliances, and wasting money on countries that don't fight directly is pointless. OK, fair enough. But still, something bothered me.
While it's true that Canada has left EDEN, and most likely for the better, it may not be the best idea to burn down the bridges yet. Remember, there are three major alliances (Terra, EDEN, ONE), and only through united effort can Terra and EDEN hold back ONE. However, I've seen Canada increasingly assert themselves as somehow above EDEN countries and their attempts to strengthen relations. The most obvious case is when Congress nearly passed an order to attack Ireland, an EDEN country.
I get it, Ireland's not exactly our best buddy. But could we contain our lust for war long enough to realize what we're getting into? By attacking Ireland, we'd be destroying the fragile trust between our two alliances. With a war between EDEN and Terra on any scale, don't you think ONE will pounce at the chance? No, attacking Ireland directly is not the answer. And our strained relations with many EDEN countries make them hesitant to let us waltz in guns ablazing.
If we want to fight Ireland, we must show a reason for our war besides 'OMG I HAZ BAZOOKAS AND I WANTS TREU PATRIEUT'. Our Balkan acquaintance Turkey has been ostracized in such a way that EDEN most likely would rather kick them out than fight for them. If we so desire Irish territory, we must do the same with them. Keep our friendships with EDEN countries (difference between MPP and friend) and get them to kick out Ireland. After all, Ireland's not particularly liked from the start. Convince them to boot Ireland, and we can pick up the scraps. If we remain vigilant, we will feast on their graves yet. Remember, my friends, control your lust before it gets us in over our heads.
Until next time, take care!

This article is too rational for eCanadian media.Where are the tanks and the war and the pictures and the paid advertisments?
C'mon Shoi, you're slippling ; )
...but yeah, getting Ireland booted would have been sensible
Today I had an official from Turkey ask me if eCanada is leaving TERRA and wanted me to post an article about my response to clarify it to other TEDEN members. Seems that allies/former allies (I dunno how these are defined lately) are not certain what eCanada's stance is
I'm too close to being a 2-clicker to actually fully understand what's going on, but this is not the eCanada I have grown used to.
I have yet to decide if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
Suddenly I live in an interesting nation who has always been stable...except for those few stints where it seemed like all hell was breaking loose...which actually has striking similarities to the current situation except this time we have a CP who is causing the chaos.
Change is good.
Better to live in intresting times than to stagnate with the same old routine.
Were not leaving Terra were just sliming the allainces down and keeping the main countries in MPP's.
Keep up the good work!
Just attack already! I've already got my popcorn ready and I want to see some fireworks up north.
you guys know britain wont accept that and canada and britains military here are not to far from each others and if britain helps ireland than canada is going to be in trouble
@Armour144: Our CP is nothing else more then a copy of the canadian best thief. (who also like the chaos and who also buy everything, including votes, people, etc. with tanks - like our CP do)
It looks that nowadays everyone is for sale in eCanada, including people who seems to be ok at the first look.
The true patriot medal is one of the worst possible things to happen to this country....it's shown some of this countries best people's true colours.
@yacine rezig: UK 'armies' are no problem to us.... we've beat you guys down so many times anyway
You bitches dont have the bottle to attack us
also EDEN wud never kick us out u retard
^lol someone is a bit angry ^__^
I am not going to suggest you get kicked out but Ireland has pissed off a lot of eden in the past. If I had to make a prediction you will get wiped in the next three months.
@sweeta if he's a copy of a thief, maybe he would have stole something already.
Well, alliances will all change soon and war might come to us. Brazil has just announced that they will leave Terra.
@IronToader: or maybe, sometime, bad behavior is enough.
