IRON was in between a rock and a hard place when this war started. I remember what it was like when Viridia was in a similar boat, and how many former allies and enemies came out of the woodwork in a pathetic attempt to distort reality. They didn't have the slightest clue of how complex the situation was or how actual diplomacy worked. Or they understood very well and were just playing dumb. I'm really appreciating the IRONy of this thread.
Best of luck to our orange brothers. I advise looking to the future rather than dwelling on the past.
Okay I'll bite, who is this referring to? One of the important lessons VE has learned over the years is that going all out during a war forces these types to shape up or ship out (to France). It's unfortunate alliances on both sides of this war will never have they joy of seeing this principle applied as they cull the wheat from the shaft.
Alliances that don't participate in a war have tremendous potential to gain power with their large warchests and tech. I'm happy to see that opportunity is slowly being squandered due to someone's unbelievable ignorance regarding basic military mechanics.
Hard to tell since many nations delete expired wars, but it's a pretty close race between GOONS, ODN, and VE for most wars. Don't know why we got left out of the last snapshot by DNFJ.
I'm curious if the leaders in this brave new world recognize the impact it will have on the peace process. It may be a rude awakening to a lot of the smaller alliances when the war is winding down and phantom declarations are being made in the name of "coalition warfare".
VE also recognizes that TENE has activated their treaty with AI to declare war on us, and RnR has activated the SF sour grapes clause.
Never forget the dozens of posts that died in this horrible event. Is it a coincidence that these crashes deleted records of lucrative tech transactions and secret military plans? Wake up sheeple, the forum takedown was an inside job!
