    I guess you may interpret it differently but how many ways do you plan to legitimately be there for them? Offer moral support?

    (this is what I was referring to Andrew but like I said I'm sure it can be interpreted differently from your point of view)

    Like has been pointed out many times in this thread, most of these alliances and IRON are still fairly well connected on the treaty web.

    Hell I wouldn't bet against us being on the same side of the war next time around but you do have a point we can only do so much now, such as be cordial to each other and cooperate when it is needed. I know I will still be present on their boards due to how many fine people are over there.

    Admin forbid you stick with friends when they're no longer in power.

    You are trying to spin this, as the rest of you are so keen on saying, this is not that big of a shift, it is in the sense that there is no formal treaty but we are still very connected to NATO and others on the treaty web.

    By...uhhh, canceling a bunch of treaties? You've reduced your treaty count, which is cool I guess, but a lot of people are sitting around scratching our heads on what this actually accomplished, and how this is creating a new path. This isn't one of the those cases where you're going to get bashed either way because people dislike you, you're going to get bashed either way because you fixed nothing, and playing it off as some giant change in policy.

    This is one of those things where times have changed and IRON must change with them. No longer is the hegemony the power of the world. It was the time for IRON to move into this new world with more flexibility and options.

    Best Wishes IRON - we know not where the road goes but it was a pleasure to travel a bit of it with you stout fellows.

    IRON might say we are all still friends, but by the look if it, I'd say thats wishful thinking at best

    We are more then willing to continue to be on very friendly terms with all of these alliances, if you are not I completely understand and wish you and your alliance the best of luck in the future.

    Don't know why you really did it, but I thought our ties were unbreakable. Glad to have followed you into the breach all those years (months) ago only to see us tossed. We always took up the sword with you when it came down to it, and felt our brotherhood to be sound.

    Good luck, IRON.

    I am sorry that you feel like our relationship meant so little to us, NATO was always a good friend to IRON and this cancellation was not meant as an end a friendship but the start of a new path for IRON in this new world. This was a decision I can assure you was made with heavy hearts.

    Good move, IRON. Most of the people against this move would have bashed you if you had kept your treaties and bashed you if you cancelled your treaties. There's no reason to listen to them.

    Double standards for the loss, thanks for the support AA, a longtime friend of IRON.

    Now go smack Poobs for me :P

    Good luck to our dear friends at IRON. I know this must have been an incredibly difficult decision for you guys, but I believe it was a good one. You have TORN's total support and we will defend you till the end. Ferro Credimus!

    Anytime you have to cancel on friends it is difficult especially with many of these being very old treaties.

    We thank all of our friends for being supportive during this rough patch for IRON, especially those in Duckroll.

    So, if I'm reading this correctly, you guys are essentially saying "hey, you guys were good, loyal friends for years and all, but we're gonna go get some shiny new friends now who are [i]much[/i] better than you."

    Real classy.

    Not at all, the friendships with these fine alliances will not go away simply due to the lack of a treaty, some of my best friends still reside there and you can be sure that IRON will be looking out for all of our former and current friends.

    Ferro Credimus.
