Schattenmann Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Kalasin' timestamp='1317016966' post='2808813'] YAY!!! Congrats GATO!! GATO was faced with a very difficult choice last war. They had treaty connections with ODN and Athens, and IAA who were defending NpO. They announced that they were [b]prepared to defend[/b] whoever activated their treaties with them. That is honourable. Besides that, I know first hand that GATO are friendly and awesome people. We honestly don't care about their detractors. I would have phrased that in harsher terms, but I actually happen to like you. [/quote] Which would matter if any of GATO's other allies had been defenders, but as any student of history can tell you, only one of GATO's allies was in a defensive position, and they left that ally on the field of battle for 5 weeks. But as a member of ODN, I wouldn't expect you to know the difference between aggression and defense any better than your popularly-elected government.

AirMe Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 As a founding father of this bloc, I think GATO should make a fine addition to the values upon which the bloc was founded upon. Good luck to GATO and C&G in this partnership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londo Mollari Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 The only thing I find surprising about this is that GATO finally decided to bite the bullet and sign the MADP. They were certainly considered as a signatory and interest was expressed long, long, long before this, but they used to not sign MADPs. *shrugs* CnG has changed a great deal though. It used to be composed exclusively of dictatorships. Now it is composed entirely of democracies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
