Kaiser Martens Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 "I was not criticizing your actions, if one looks at the way I worded things, I only criticized third parties that decided to jump into the situation, not your own nation or your own procedures." all those warmongers expecting us to jump at their throats "Meaning, the warmongers are others, not yourselves. Maybe it is ambiguous, I do not know, but if I wanted to criticize Slavorussia I'd have done so specifically using the name, I'm instead criticizing the reactions of the rest. I'd do the same in your place, really. If any it'll also serve as an unintended exercise for your own troops, right?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V The King Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 "The world would have breathed easier if it was publicly stated that the troop movements were but a part of an exercise... troop movements along borders are usually an indicator of increased tensions or prelude to conflict... and the most recent global war is still a raw scar in the face of many nations. The least that the planet needs is one more war. Sure, outsiders oughtn't to have any businesses with the details of the military, or the troops of a nation... but it'd be quite nice if all of us were assured they weren't there in order to start a new conflict, sim?"

Malatose Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) Seeing how the world has reacted to a simple military exercise between allies is nothing but disturbing. We now see, clearly, who our friends and enemies truly are, during this time. Therefore, we shall take the necessary precautions to rid ourselves of these enemies and request that all foreign nationals, associated with the governments expelling our own citizens, leave the country within a one week timeframe. We will also cut off all diplomatic relations with these nations. After all these years and multiple wars, we still see that Anti-Nordic and Germanic attitudes still dominate, especially in countries such as Slavorussia.

Tanisian Governmental officials retort that the Slavorussian and RUSSIAN bloc response is actually a proper tone, except the extreme use of forced departure of said European nationals from Bosporan. Your accusations of "anti-Nordic" racism is very blatantly ignorant of the fact that a joint military exercise between the four European nations involving hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of aircraft, etc. Such an appearance of those numbers would suggest to a uninformed neighboring country of a prelude to an invasion of someplace nearby. One just doesn't say, "We're all bring so and so amount of troops that are so large to crush neighboring nations into nothing and say it's a military exercise." We wouldn't care who it was, if there was build up anywhere near us, we would have the same concerns and response in a similar matter as the Slavorussians did.

OOC: The ww2 operation was named after Fredrick Barbarossa. Who died by drowning leading a crusade. :lol: Jinxed name if you ask me. IC: Dranagg wonders if there will be any live fire testing for these military exercises. No sense in getting the troops out of the barracks without some target practice.

Again your propaganda has no basis in actual fact, therefore it is entirely ineffective. We haven't expressed any anti-Nordic or German sentiment. Making blind accusations towards a country who supported you in the past, up until you mercilessly nuked the Hansa, will get you nowhere.

Centurius Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 In response to Bosporan overreactions, all Bosporans have been given forced exits until Union citizens are permitted to remain in Bosporan. A trade embargo has been placed on Bosporan, and any ships caught passing through Union waters will be immediately halted and scrapped, the seamen sent home to Bosporan. Any Bosporan agents found in the Union will be immediately executed pending a trial, this changed from the original policy of imprisoning foreign agents for life.In addition, the Third and Fourth Armies have been mobilized, and border patrols increased to enforce the new policies laid down. "Do not fear we already withdrew any kind of Official and Citizen" As a response to the so called warmongering, we haven't placed hundreds of thousands of Soldiers at borders of uninformed nations. Look in the mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowsage Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 *Classified* As tensions in Europe continue to rise, the Imperium grows more and more restless at the prospect of Warfare on the scale of the previous "War"; a holocaust more than anything else. The Armed Forces are being placed on DEFCON 3 as a precaution against attempts to force waters and the canal. Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles have already been emplaced and activated, awaiting an arming signal to engage any unregistered shipping. Mechanized Infantry are concentrating in deployment areas before dispersing to various major cities and critical points in the Imperium. More than 100,000 troops have been allocated to Imperial Center herself, as a precaution against threats upon the canal, invasions on the city, and as a critical point separating the Industrial North from the rest of the Empire. The Home Fleet has begun preparation to mobilize, loading full amounts of aircraft and missiles on board. New Weapons Systems such as the Bolter and Sprint-Mode Missile will have a trial-by-fire, should any foolish enemy have the guts to take on the Imperium of America. *Public Announcement* The Imperium will not interfere with European Politics; long a cesspool of who can backstab the most. All military vessels from those involved in the Slavorussian affair are prohibited from passing through the canal; attempts to do so anyway will be met by the full force of the Imperium. As a point, we would like to notify the world that our troops are being mobilized towards our major cities; some of which do lie on the border with other nations. Please don't be alarmed, it's only a precautionary measure against anything stemming from the European Mobilization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiser Martens Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 While all the bickering was going on, the actual war exercise had been underway. Guns were being shot, missiles were being launched, yet people died not and certainly did not explode, although it was all harmless for all practical purposes it seemed as if the Nords would be infighting.

Justinian the Mighty Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Statement from Premier Kolesnikov: I think there’s been a tremendous misunderstanding in Europe this week. Often times in Europe when there is a build up of troops on any border it is usually regarded as a prelude to war. Thankfully this time that wasn’t the case. Mistakes were made on both sides of the Slavo-CSSR border, but now we should put the past behind us and look forward. Let’s not worsen the situation by expelling foreign nationals and embargoing each other because that will only make the situation worse.

Uralica Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Later that day: Jarkko Salomäki, in Neftekamsk near the border with Slavorussia, gave the following statement: "In spite of all that has been said, we will remain at DEFCON 3 until we are 100% convinced that the diplomatic situation between Slavorussia and her neighbours has truly cooled off. However, in the face of the improving situation, we suspend our plea to RUSSIAN for lumber, and if things progress well enough that we go to DEFCON 5, we will remove it completely. There is no plan for Uralic Bashkortostan to levy any embargoes against any nation at this point." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
