Greetings, citizens of Land's End.
It is as your CLO that I speak to you today.
Recently, The United Banking Associaton has engaged in flagrant double-posting, thus breaking one of the few rules of the RMB.
He continued to do so even following warnings from Torranta, and in fact responded to those warnings specifically with double posts.
As CLO, it falls to me to pronounce the sentence here. I have decided thus:
Since The United Banking Associaton is unable to post on the RMB in compliance the few rules therein, they are hereby banned from making RMB posts for one months, starting now, April 6, 2018, and ending on May 6 of that same year.
Any questions regarding this punishment may be telegrammed to me, Bonnie Blue Republic.
Thank you for your time.
Archen Federation, Unike
Yesssss the trading cards retooling thing sounds like a good idea
But I wonder what I'll do with all my extra credit. I like to have lots of money even if i don't use it
Archen Federation, The Democracy Of Red Star
That's a good point
The Democracy Of Red Star
I think maybe I'll sell some of my other cards for hopefully more than junk price and see if I can make any good offers for some legendaries

Hello, Zerzia.
You might want to see the FAQ here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=996823
Basically, to get started you just deal with issues your new nation has, one every few hours. And meet people here on the RMB. Welcome to the game and to Land's End!

I updated my politics factbooks, check them out if you wish. :)

Hey guys does anybody know why we had a mass exodus 6 hours ago?
The Democracy Of Red Star
I don't think it was a mass exodus. It said that the countries 'ceased to exist' so presumably they didn't log in for a while, hence their countries got deleted. Happens if you're inactive for 28 days (or 60 if you turn on vacation mode)
Fanter Kesh, The Democracy Of Red Star, Bluximburg
Happens all the time. Nothing to worry about. Nations found, join the region, and die 28 days later.

The Democracy Of Red Star, The Sand Grains
HELLO my bruddas. I am Jordan from the Republic of Nadrojo. I am happy to be here today and hope that we can form a prosperous union. Gratar Tovakia recommended me to Land's End.
Buryasia, The Democracy Of Red Star
Welcome, we are glad you have chosen to settle in Land's End.

Hello, I was sent here by Grater Tovakia and i am looking forward to working with all of you.

If someone wants to try and help me with the telegram, let me know.
The Democracy Of Red Star, Bluximburg
I would love to, let me know how I can help.

Hi guys,
I am planning on sending out more recruitment telegrams than I currently am. Expect to see some new recruits soon.
Hello?
Saint Gloria
Hello??
Does this region do international RP or is it just another game play region...
Saint Gloria
Just game play mostly.
The Democracy Of Red Star
We have a RP region called The Breakroom for nations interested in RP. You can check that out if you like. We are not currently in an organized RP, but you can help give us ideas!
Archen Federation, The Democracy Of Red Star
Hi I am new, I was recommended here by Grater Tovakia. This sounds like a great region and I cannot wait to be of assistance.
Unike, Saint Gloria, Buryasia, The Democracy Of Red Star
I am actually glad there is a poll concerning the chemical attack on Syria. I remember when last year's attack happened around this same time. This Baath Party/Assad regime... I have no words...
While it is unlikely, I hope more nations and their leaders step up and call out names.
In addition: I need a new Ambassador. Please telegram me if interested.
Unike, Saint Gloria, Buryasia, The Democracy Of Red Star
I wish the current WA proposal states which previously enacted legislation pertains to a)war crime,b)crime against humanity,and c)crime against peace.
The Democracy Of Red Star
I voted against because your war criminals are my war heroes...
All of those are subjective. (Well, not really, but for the sake of national RP, that's what I'm going with. The BBR is heavily militaristic...)
The Democracy Of Red Star
My nation also has had to resort to tactics, in our struggle with Russia during its civil war, that other nations might find distasteful. We will vote against. But those Russian war criminals should be brought to justice!
Bonnie Blue Republic, The Democracy Of Red Star
I cannot comment on the US conflict with Russia,my country would like to neutral for the time being.
-PM Thomas Jacks
I voted against because whether a person is called a war criminal or a hero is a very thin line, and the WA's judgment is not necessarily the best. On the Syria topic, I believe the only way to solve it is to intervene with force. These tactics are extremely reminiscent of Soviet Tactics in Afghanistan and if America has learned anything it is that the only way to beat a Soviet is to call there bluff. We need to invade Syria and grab and fortify as much land as possible. Russia will not mount a counter-attack because of there precarious position in Europe, unless they felt they could conquer Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Belarus.
The Democracy Of Red Star, Legoa
What about allowing the Turks to "stabilize" Syria? They'd be willing with a green light from the West to expand their sphere of influence or even their borders. And they'd be a preferable government, for Syrian people as well as for Western political/security interests, to the Baath Party or Russia, IMHO. Obviously the Kurds would hate this but if they crossed into the Kurdistan region of Iraq they could defend themselves there. Turkey would be tempted to leave the Iraqi Kurds alone for a while in exchange for acceptance of their increased role in Syria.
Unike, Bonnie Blue Republic, Saint Gloria, Legoa
The problem is that the US is going to have a hard time convincing the Kurds to not fight back as they have claimed land in NE syria
Unike, Saint Gloria, Legoa
As for Syria, I don't see why we should leave. First of all, yes Assad is a horrible person, but are the rebels-or ISIS any better? The Syrian government was the one that did the most damage to ISIS. And there hasn't even been an investigation into the chemical attack! Please don't tell me that rebel forces would run the country better. I don't like Assad and he is a totalitarian, but Saddam wasn't great either and after we took Saddam out, Iraq turned to hell. I don't understand this neoconservative sentiment going around in the government.
Historically, toppling regimes, whether good or bad, has made the area worse. And additionally, why would we want a foreign power to get mad at us if we have a second airstrike or an invasion. I highly doubt that we would retain good relations with Russia when we attack Syria. If you want WW3 to start because of a chemical attack that wasn't even investigated, go ahead.
Unike, Legoa
I agree your point about the rebels, we should let the Israelis help pick a pro-western government. If we were to invade I think the rebels should be included as targets.
Unike, Legoa
Toppling regimes and making a pro-western government is infeasible and won't help the US or the people. And as for your earlier point about Russia, even if that were true, isn't it much beneficial to have a good relationship with one of the other global powers? Not to mention the cost of the war. Sorry, but with a 21 trillion dollar debt we just can't afford another war.
Unike, Legoa
We could not afford a war in the years leading up to World War 2 either. Obama drew a red line during his administration and when the Syrians crossed it we did nothing. I agree that Russia is not the enemy, Iran and Syria are. but we cannot let them get away with this, it is the same philosophy with China and US intellectual rights. I want the US to be friends with Russia, but we need to have boundaries or else Russia will think they can cross other lines and that will really start WW3.
Unike, Legoa
Keep in mind that invading Syria and replacing it with a supposedly democratic government won't solve any problems. It would actually make things worse for the US and the Syrian people. The US's global image would tarnish, as it did under the Bush invasion of Iraq. Violence would get worse and jihadist rebellions would once again grow, just like Iraq. American taxpayers would pay for the burden of the war or debt would increase(just like Iraq) which I strongly oppose. I don't support Keynesian economics. And historically, allowing wars to occur is a gateway to authoritarianism in a home country. It happened, when we attacked Iraq. An invasion of Syria would be like the one in Iraq and we could lose while turning the place to rot., except this time a major global power is involved.
And again, we haven't done a proper investigation.
Unike
The problem with Iraq was that we won the kinetic war but lost when it came time to create a new goverment, which was largely the state department and the presidency. For the aftermath of a theoretical invasion to go right there is one way we could do it, consult the Russians, Saudis and other major player and have all parties pick a number of reps for a new parliment, thus allowing conversation and so evrybody gets a say (which was the biggest problem in Iraq) should the US and UN find that chemical weapons were used, I think a joint invasion would be supported by the international community. We could the Russian's 24 hours to pull out and for Assad to surrender. The priority should be pulling the military out ASAP becuase the people loved us when we liberated Iraq, we just stayed to long as an ocupational force.
Unike
Well the U.S. might have stayed too long as an occupational force, but it wasn't the length of their stay as much as it was how little they accomplished during their stay. If they had instated some decent people to govern the country and given the necessary guidance to maintain a certain level of order and stability then slowly pulled out (kinda like what they did with the Philippines), Iraq would probably be a much better place now.
Unike, Saint Gloria, Legoa
Another option would be to assassinate Assad and his high command, giving the Kurds and Rebels the upper hand while the government has no head. Of course, there's the issue that that will lead to power struggle within the government and perpetuate the refugee crisis, but I'm just playing devil's advocate here.
the problem with that is that we don't necessarily want the rebels in charge, and the Turks will not let Syria be controlled by the Kurds. Middle East politics are though
Saint Gloria
I think we should just let the middle east settle their crap themselves. I'm tired of my country and our allies blowing millions on these countries that hate us.
Some Random Lands, Bluximburg, The Sand Grains, Legoa
Billions*
Some Random Lands, Waikaloa
It is better for us to leave the Middle East alone. Because if we do set up a new government, how do you know it wont crumble? Weve created New Democratic governments before and they failed. Many Syrians are still supporters of Assad. Not to mention, still yet, that there hasnt been a proper investigation. And yes, we shouldnt be spending billions and trillions on the war that would either lead to yet more debt accumulation or a rise in taxes. You cant just wipe out the government and the rebels and just assume the people in Syria will be happy.
If the decision was mine, all that I would do is drop a MOAB on one of they're bases and send more supplies to the Kurds and Rebels. I prefer more of a light touch intervention strategy, although, it's quite debatable whether or not a MOAB is considered "light touch."
MOABs are for destroying tunnels and bunker complex not base attacks.
Even so, you really don't want one of those things landing in the middle of your base.
Bluximburg, Grater Tovakia
As a government, no, they are not better. I agree.
I dunno, I thought it was the US-backed Kurds who did the heavy lifting against ISIS.
I agree.
This sounds good to me in theory, but I don't believe there is any way to put Syria back together again. Then again, Lebanon somehow came together as a semi-functional nation after its civil war. But the diverse groups in Syria seem to have completely turned against each other, so, I think its future is probably not as a nation but rather partition. A piece for Turkey (Aleppo), a piece for the Kurds, pieces even for Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq. Maybe a rump state of Sunnis around Damascus but otherwise Syria has no future.
I've met many Syrians, they are good people but it seems they are totally divided in their country. Its too bad. But western armies need to avoid becoing entangled in the absence of good options.
Saint Gloria, The Democracy Of Red Star
Its hard for me to lose all hope for syria as we have seen with Leabanon, former yugoslavia, and Iraq ethinic and religous divides can be overcome, while slow growth for all these nations they are gradualy recovering and with international aid some of them are growing into better countires than they were. I know it may be Idealistic but it is hard for me to watch a nation (especialy one that has been around for so long) break up into so many peices. 😭

Well the Kurds and Assad both helped. The rebels didnt do much
The rebels did a lot actually. Many of them actually were Kurds from the reports I heard. Assad waited too long to respond to ISIS and only responded once international attention was garnered. As far as aid? It's not our job to care for everyone in the world. I'm sorry but it's not. If more of the aid got past the corrupt officials it would be different but it doesnt.
Assad is just as bad as Isis for killing his own people. He deserves to get taken out.
