You may. Say it louder. Shout it from the rooftops!

Objection! We did not vote on you saying that! Now we must vote on whether or not we can hold a vote to censure you for contempt!

Don't mean to be a dick, but I can see two very glaring issues in your factbook.
First, the amount of everything you have is astronomical, like, you have 63,000 planes in total while the USA has maybe 13.5K.
You outnumber the US in everything on such a scale as to be ridiculous in any fight, really.
You have 854 navy ships in active service compared to the grand total of all US ships in active service and ready for service, that is to say, 440 -including supply ships, amphibious assualt ships, and every logistical craft out there, so your grand total would probably be at or above 1,000 ships.
Secondly, you're gonna get squashed using the M960 (There is no MS960?) since it's a 9mm parabolic round in open conditions fighting modern body armour.
To put it in perspective, the 5.56mm rifle round inside of an M16A4 is woefully ineffective beyond 500 meters, while your rifle is both shorter and uses a less powerful pistol munition.

Caro Emerald and Saint Motel has good music.
XD I'm so sorry it's just I hate doing research and I kinda like playing the character? Not exactly into actually saying "Oh, my specially equipped Omega force executed a delta formation on your navy and now all your T-54's have been disabled." But I'll fix it up now.
Merlinton
You just mentioned a navy and a tank design all at the same time and it hurts me.
Just ask mate, I love to sperg about sh!t, and I'm great at consulting.

Aldaur, The United Providences Of Perland
Hello everyone. :)
Vista Major, Andromitus, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
I read CNN, Fox News, and the Huffington Post. What they all 3 agree on is what I take to be fact. Or if they cannot agree, then a logical middle ground is probably what happened.
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
Whatever articles reddit digs up for me I read, so I guess you could say I crowd source my news sources.
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
Hey, welcome.
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Intelligentpeople
Twitter is where I get my news. It's the easiest place to hear about events when they happen from multiple perspectives. I follow BBC News on Twitter as it's really the only mainstream news source that I lowkey believe in when it comes to American news.
I don't follow or watch the mainstream American media like CNN, Fox, or MSNBC for American news since they're all Wall Street corporate-owned trash. Twitter is live and genuinely the regular people that talk about what's going on aren't owned by corporations but are normal people like myself. It's not like there's a news anchor telling you what happened, but more like "yo dude did you hear that x happened?"
When something happens, Twitter is lit up talking about the event. When something happens that people actually care about, rather than what gets ratings, I'll know because it'll be trending on Twitter. That's what's nice about putting live journalism in the hands of regular people instead of the sell-out corrupt corporate-owned journalists from mainstream media is they'll focus on what's important to normal people instead of what boosts ratings.

I do the same, except with NSG instead of Redit. I also use The New York Times, the Washington Post, and my local newspaper the Tampa Bay Times.

Holy sh!t has it been a long night. Alright dudes, this week (hopefully) I'll finish up the Kongo RP and work on the global conference. Sorry I've been so busy. Whatever time I've had to myself I've been wanting to spend with my partner, so RPs haven't been top priority. But I'm hoping that I'll have time in the schoolday to make a decent conclusion to the Kongo.
Merlinton
I use RT purely because their page loads quick and I find it easy to navigate, maybe it's because I got stuck in a rut used to it who knows. They're incredibly bias but they have more conflict orientated news which I prefer. If I really want a decent overview I'd go BBC or Reuters.
Aldaur
So proud of our work. Congrats everyone, we deserve it! :)
