jerdge Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 I believe that, as of today, nukes have been "just another weapon" for well over a decade. (Your and mine age and arthritis permitting, high five to those of you that, without looking it up, can recall what major alliance enacted a war time policy in subversion of the then popular anti-nukes stigma.)

Mazeltov. No bud, it's stupid because no one from their aa posted it, not for entering in conjunction with their bloc. I give em props for helping their ally, but having someone else post their DoW 3 days(According to the war screen) before they even declared a war, is pretty dumb. A lot of us thought it was a joke or an attempt to troll Edited May 12, 2022 by Gh0s7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCR's connection to GATO and CLAWS respect for them is why we're not involved beyond just giving aid. GATO understands reality fine.

It’s not fear. It’s about power. Going back to this (just out of boredom) I'll point out that dictatorships can be and, quite often, are absolutely moralistic, at least in appearance. Fairness in international warfare is irrational, not moralistic. In fact it's even quite immoral, in that a national government finding itself at war, arguably has the moral obligation to maximize the damage dealt to damage taken ratio. Anything else would be folly and a betrayal of their own people. If instead CN was a sport then, yes, fairness in war would make sense.

Sometimes there is pressure to take a “sports” approach to Planet Bob. It has not caught on at the government to government level in this realm. Not yet. Internally, from my experience, governments advise their membership to be “good sports” during even the nastiest wars on a nation to nation basis. Meanwhile they often do not follow their own advice on an alliance to alliance diplomatic level. The unwritten rules and traditions of Planet Bob have always been interesting to me.
