And the nations that Doom Wolves seeks to bully do not have that same right of collective defense?

I find great amusement in this idea that raiding is actually great fun and UCR is the bad guy good time ruiner. Maybe it's fun for the professional imperialist, who builds their nation for conquest, sitting around at low levels with a bloated war machine, rolling over months old targets. But I've been Premier of the UCR for a while now. I've seen the other side of this. I've seen the hopelessness and despair, the nations who just give up. Everyone keeps talking about how raiding is good for activity. Is it really though? Do you have any evidence for that? Out of all the nations Doom Wolves raided, only one of them still has activity within the last 3 days. Let's drop this long repeated lie of the so called "benevolence" of raiding.

I don't know about you, but if I wanted people to think I wasn't a rogue I wouldn't go on the owf to openly and indiscriminately threaten the sovereignty of unaligned states, and then follow it up with a coordinated blitz raid. But that's just me, I know the imperialists don't care how many people they bully off of this planet just to get their way.

The Wolves

So then he should have no reason to complain

"Weak reasoning" lol you make me laugh. As if a tech raid isn't the weakest reasoning of all. We don't need a "reasoning for an attack", because we acted solely in defense. It is the imperialists who at every juncture chose to escalate the conflict. I see bundy in one of these threads crying about his nation getting nuked, when the logs prove that it was HE who threw the first warhead.

This is my favorite reply to come put of this whole affair, it truly encapsulates the arrogantly selfish view of the imperialists. I'm so terribly sorry your majesty, for not having sought proper approval from the crown before standing up to bullies.

You keep brining this up like some kind of broken record. As I've stated before, we have no obligation to justify our allocation of anti imperialist resources to anyone, especially not the imperialists themselves. We've made it quite clear, our decision was based on one fact and one fact alone - nations that were being bullied by Bundy requested our assistance. You expect us to declare a perpetual war against all imperialist forces when that was never our stated goal. The mental gymnastics you've employed to justify your plunders has left you unable to understand that which has been plainly stated to you.

Unfortunately, it appears that there are many out there who do not want Bob to be a better place, those who see the mere possibility of a fair fight to be a threat to their interests.

So if we had individually signed treaties with each of the nations who requested and and posted them here for all to see, our defense of the defenseless would be acceptable to you? HA! And just last week every thread on here was decrying the act of signing treaties. What a joke.

The imperialists still showing us that they cannot help but to warp history to fit their narrative. "The AA coordinating blitz raids against nations with no defense network aren't the bullies," they say, "it's actually the ones who selflessly provide their own assistance"

We responded to calls for assistance from independent nations who requested aid. Most would understand the defensive nature of such an act. But I suppose we can add the concept of context to the list of things we don't understand. Let's be clear. We responded to calls for assistance from nations actively being targeted and bullied by the soon wolves. We chose to offer our aid. We did not receive calls for assistance from any nation under attack from NG. But even if we did, we do not need to justify our allocation of anti imperialist resources to anyone, least of all an imperialist thug

My, what lengths the imperialists will go to secure their rotten plunder. What fabrications they will concoct, what mental gymnastics they will execute. It appears that the Doom Squad could not possibly conceive of a world in which independent nations may organize their own affairs free from the interference of thugs and bullies. And they apparently are so afraid of the collective self defense of the people that they had to call in their friends for help. What a sad state for the imperialists. Doom Squad has accused the Union of Communist Republics of putting forth an "unenforceable" doctrine. Do the illustrious rulers of Doom Squad truly assert that the right to self determination is "unenforceable"? That we are not free to render aid to those who request it? Do they stand here and claim the right to bully whoever they please without facing the consequences? Let us dispense with the lies spewed by the rogues. We have never passed a resolution calling for the "enforcing" of a "no raid doctrine". Our resolution, and our announcement regarding said resolution, are perfectly clear and plainly written. We stand for the right of nations to self determination. That includes the right to secure their own defense when in the face of imperial terror. Are the raiders so devoted to their brutish bullying of anyone weaker than themselves that they have failed to employ a basic level of reading comprehension? Are they so deluded by greed that they honestly view the organized self defense of victims of imperialism to be a threat to their sovereignty? Perhaps. Far more likely, however, is that this is simply the reaction of an entitled bully who can't handle being told "no". The Union of Communist Republics proudly stands opposed to this cowardly aggression waged against our brave anti imperialist fighters. We shall remain resolute, fear no sacrifice, and overcome every difficulty to achieve the final victory against imperialist domination. Mrmarx, Premier of the UCR Proud Fighter of the Anti Imperialist People's Volunteer Army

This is like robbing someone at gunpoint, and then blaming the victim for their own death. "Well you see officer, if he just gave me his wallet I wouldn't have shot him, it's all his fault for not letting me Rob him." This is the logic employed by the Great Al Bundy. See how the imperialist thugs mock at the whole world! Look at the lengths they will go rather than admitting the wanton greed that drives their craven bloodlust!

"I don't make anyone beg, I just want to steal with no consequences." Fixed it for you

Why should a victim of imperialist roguery be expected to beg their bully for peace? Those days are over

Comrades and Friends, This past October 1st, the glorious Communist Party of the Union of Communist Republics passed the Anti Imperialist Declaration into law. To deal with the roguish and imperialist trend of tech raiding across the planet, The Party has called for the creation of a new Anti Imperialist People's Volunteer Army. Today, I come to announce the formation of this Volunteer Army before the world. Rogues and raiders have long had their way, enriching themselves on the conquest of others, suppressing all who stand in the way of their bloodthirsty domination. They may justify their plunders by various means, blaming the victim for not better defending themselves - but to the countless nations crushed under their wanton brutality, it makes no difference. On October 14, the Executive Committee of the AIPVA received reports of multiple aggressive assaults launched by an alliance known as Doom Wolves against a group of 5 nations. The Volunteer Army responded to calls for assistance from these nations and deployed troops to their defence. The Volunteer Army has also secured economic assistance to these nations, some of which have suffered destructive nuclear attacks against their civilian population. The Executive Committee of the Anti Imperialist People's Volunteer Army and the Central People's Government of the Union of Communist Republics resolutely and wholeheartedly denounce the Doom Wolves for their imperialistic and opportunistic assault on the sovereignty of these nations. The Executive Committee calls on the Alpha of Doom Wolves, Al Bundy, to immediately cease these imperial assaults and join us at the peace table. Our goal is to resolutely defend the right of self determination of nations by removing imperialist threats to their sovereignty. We seek to aid those under siege in whatever way we can, utilising every resource at our disposal. We must uphold the fighting of tigers and flies at the same time, and resolutely investigate and combat all reported instances of rogue activity. To that end however, we will not seek to interfere with legitimate conflicts between nations as some kind of mercenary army. Serve the people - Defend against rogues - Down with imperialism! If you find your nation or alliance under attack from forces of imperialism and you have nowhere to turn, contact the Liaison Officer of the People's Volunteer Army (PM Joesph Stalin of Ressurectioned USSR in game) for assistance. Serve the people - Defend against rogues - Down with imperialism! mrmarx, Premier of the Union of Communist Republics __________________________________________________ Announcing The 1st Executive Committee of the Anti Imperialist People's Volunteer Army: Chairman V, Commander and Political Commissar of the AIPVA Starschwar, Deputy Commander and Chief Logistical Officer of the AIPVA Joesph Stalin (JR), Deputy Commander and Chief Liaison Officer of the AIPVA Makao, Deputy Commander

Hey Lucius! Good seeing you around

Maybe to you they are "dead micro alliances". To us, they are groups of sovereign nations equally entitled to the right of self determination and equally deserving of respect. I am far more proud of the friendships we've formed and the relationships we've maintained than I am of any military victory we've achieved.

A salute to our friends in the Entente. I hope you enjoy continued success and prosperity in this new chapter.

Looking forward to working together for shared prosperity

Friends and comrades, Socialism has existed on planet Bob from its initial inception. Since then, socialist and communist nations have forged a long and storied history in friendship and cooperation. We've lost many comrades along the way, alliances have risen and fallen, but history will remember the great achievements made in the pursuit of the revolution. The stories of the Union of Communist Republics, the Socialist Workers Front, and the Libertarian Socialist Federation are deeply connected. We've had our ups and downs, but time after time, we have proven that our unity always prevails. Today, we are proud to announce the newest achievement in worker's internationalism, a new coalition of the world's socialist alliances. The Responsibly Ensuring Defensiveness and Amicable Leadership in Economic Relations Treaty, RED ALERT, will allow for greater mutual development among all of us that have committed to the path of communism. We also are taking this as a chance to welcome new comrades into our circle of friends. COMECON has shown their ability to persist, and were glad to join us in our united cause. Together, we will continue to uphold the glorious legacy of socialist revolutionary internationalism, and foster even greater prosperity for all! "The working class has nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Proletarians of all nations, unite!" - Karl Marx, 1848 Responsibly Ensuring Defensiveness and Amicable Leadership in Economic Relations Treaty (RED ALERT) A bloc of Friendship and Mutual Assistance of the Union of Communist Republics, the Libertarian Socialist Federation, COMECON, and the Socialist Workers Front Preamble: Purpose The foundation of Leftism is the principle of Friendship and Cooperation. Thus, like-minded alliances of Planet Bob should stand united in mutual assistance and collective defense. The Contracting Parties (hereinafter “RED ALERT Alliances”), reaffirming their desire for the establishment of a system of collective security, being desirous of further promotion and development of friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance in accordance with the principles of respect for the independence and sovereignty of alliances and of noninterference in their internal affairs, do hereby to conclude the present Treaty and have agreed as follows. Article 1: Peace Section 1: International Relations The RED ALERT Alliances undertake to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force, and to settle their international disputes peacefully and in such manner as will not jeopardize international peace and security.

In the simplest, clearest terms: an attack on any member state of any RED ALERT Alliance is grounds for retaliation by all member states of all RED ALERT Alliances. The member states of the alliances of Red Alert are pledged to defend one another. Coordination between allied combatants will be organized per Article 4. Section 2: Strive for Peace Per Article 1, peaceful resolution is preferred whenever possible, and if a peace process presents itself that is satisfactory to the membership of RED ALERT, efforts should be made to de-escalate conflict.

Section 3: Offensive Actions In the event that it is deemed necessary for a RED ALERT alliance to initiate an offensive war, the representatives of the other RED ALERT alliances must be informed no later than 48 hours before the start of hostility. Other members of RED ALERT may elect to join in preemptive strikes, however, they are not compelled to do so. Section 4: Aiding the Enemy RED ALERT member states may not send or receive foreign aid to or from any nation that is a member of an alliance that is at war with any RED ALERT member state until such time that peace is concluded.

Any and all new treaties between RED ALERT Alliances should be ratified by RED ALERT as a whole, in accordance with Article 4. The RED ALERT Alliances declare that their prior commitments under existing international treaties do not conflict with the provisions of the present Treaty, and shall remain valid. Article 4: Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance Section 1: Central Communications a) The RED ALERT Alliances shall consult with one another on all important international issues affecting their common interests, guided by the desire to strengthen international peace and security.

This role shall be redesignated upon unanimous agreement of the RED ALERT Alliances. c) Access to the secure channel shall be granted only to the RED ALERT Central Committee Representatives, and the designated channel administrator. Additional access may be granted on a temporary basis by the RED ALERT Central Committee. The channel administrator shall ensure the swift and proper masking of all applicable members.

Such temporary means of communication are to become defunct immediately at such time that the original channel may be restored or replaced by the designated administrator.

Section 2: Alliance Disputes The RED ALERT Central Committee may request the appointment of an impartial mediator for the amicable resolution of disputes between RED ALERT Alliances. Article 6: Expansion and Internationalism The present Treaty is open to the accession of other alliances, which express their readiness by participation in the present Treaty, and subject to a unanimous vote of a one-alliance, one-vote, as outlined in Article 4. Alliances seeking to withdraw from this treaty must provide a private notification of this decision no less than 48 hours prior to public announcement. The treaty shall remain in effect until the public announcement. Article 7: Solidarity, Sovereignty, and Anti-Imperialism Section 1: Sovereignty All RED ALERT Alliances acknowledge the sovereignty of all other RED ALERT Alliances.

Section 3: Cultural Exchange To further promote friendship and cultural interchange, any member state of any of the RED ALERT Alliances is permitted to change their alliance affiliation to that of any of the other RED ALERT Alliances.

Section 4: Belt and Road Initiative To further strengthen economic ties and mutual development, all member states of all RED ALERT Alliances are encouraged to participate in the Belt and Road Initiative, as organized by the Union of Communist Republics.

Section 5: Team Politics To further promote the political interests and internal development of RED ALERT, the RED ALERT Alliances are encouraged to coordinate efforts to support the election of color team senators that are friendly to this united cause (or, if possible, senators that are themselves members of RED ALERT).

Welcome to the fight, see you on the battlefield

You literally just proved my point
