Today, Whittier troops ordered to the nation's rioting cities began to put down the riots.
There are reports that troops have opened fire on rioters and demonstrators alike who willfully ignored the governments declaration of martial law.
In many cases, the rioters attacked the troops forcing the troops to fire in self defense.
In 5% of the cases however, troops opened fire for no reason but to watch people die.
Meantime, in the LaVenturoria, there are rumors that troops are raping the local citizenry.

Late word is that the 1st, 15th tanks divisions and the 9th infantry division have officially entered the capital of Whittier and have begun riot suppression.
The commander of the operation has said his troops were forced to kill 54 civilian rioters so far when they refused orders to disarm and give up.

how large and crowded are these riots?
Whittier

Nationwide. They started as food riots because the government ran out of food to give its people due to destruction from recent civil war.

We can send peacekeeping troops to help put down the rioting.

If there are larger riots, containing thousands, we can also help with those. Although we can guarantee there will likely be rioter casualties.

We can sell you a wide rnage of Riot supression non lethal weapons including non leathal incapaciant rounds for rifles/SMGs in most common calibres (bascially the old fashioned chalk rounds but are made out of a material containing CS or some other agent, they hurt a lot on impact aswell).

We can and will send peace keeping troops. If you need food or other supplies we will have them and the troops over there in no time.

Why dont you use tear gas or something and use roit police or water cannons?They are barbarians who are breaking the law and harming society and innocent people. We don't want them killed by there is a curfew, there is also martial law. Those who violate them are the ones being killed.

You expect people to riot when there is no food to feed their families.
Looks like the army is hogging all the food to me.

Rioters have begun shooting back at the troops.
The government has no choice but to authorize the use of machineguns to mow down the rioters.
For the remainder of this crises, all protests are now officially banned.
All persons protesting will be shot on site.

This is outragous and wrong! Tellirian peacekeepers will now be sent to protect the rioters from being killed and the food and other supplies is being sent to the rioters. Of course an civilian that shoots will be stoped, but and soilder that shoots lethal weapons will be shot. Until the death rate of the rioters is down 85% we will not back down.

1,200 peacekeepers are sent to help the rioters
1/2 ton of meat
1 ton of bread

peacekeeper orders-
Fire on any soldiers firing on Rioters
Disable and use any means to discourage using weapons against officers
Insure food is evenly distribuated

Whittier is too weak to be attacking anyone right now.

If there are any pro-choice groups that come to power Haaregradia will recognize them as the new official government, otherwise we're not getting involved(yet).

Deploying troops is asking for war. Even if you call them peacekeepers. If you don't have permission deploying troops is asking for war.

Message dated June, 15, 2039:

To the leaders of Whittier,

My nation is deeply sympathetic to your current situation. Being under our fifth year of Martial Law due to the need to put down violent criminals in the inner cities, we also know how when life and the pursuit of happiness are ruined it is perfectly legal to get rid of some non-protected liberties (civil libertarians and Ben Franklin aside). We will aid you military in controlling rioters and other crazed mobs, which have become a danger to themselves and others. How does ten thousand troops plus economic aid sound?

God bless America!

Signed,

Peter T. Diffin (Pedro Tomas Diffin), President of the USA and Chief Commander of the Homeland.

Whitties,

What else do you expect when people have no food? Unless you feed your people you will face larger riots. Using machine guns against your own people is barbaric, and we condem this act.

Any attempt to send any type of foreign force to Whittier territory will be considered an invasion. Right now Whittier is undergoing internal stresses. Hence this is internal problem. But your invasion will give all Whittierites something to unite against. The Prolifers and Prochoicers may not like each other but they dislike invading armies even less. And would unite to repel foreign armies.

OOC: Whittier, are there any charismatic leaders of these rebellions who might be able to lead a coup if properly funded and equiped? Something along the lines of a Vladimir Lenin would be perfect. If so I got an RP idea...
Ruschi

At this time, in the event of an invasion, the Ruschic government is willing to send 250 MiG-29 Fulcrums and 175 Su-37 Super Flankers to Whitter territory, provided they want the assistance. The Ruschic nation understands the necessity for peace, and while the acts commited in the name of peace are quite saddening, Whitter just got out of a war. The last thing it needs is another one.

(Provided it comes to combat, use the fighters to your will.)

Kolaria are willing to send out Humanitarian Aid Corps out to do a mission to distribute food, we can offer 10 Officers and 1000 Privates to distribute food mainly in the rural areas. We will provide basic food supplies to up to 1 Million People for 1 Week. However it won't be much. Kolarian Military Troops are unavailible to assist with putting down riots and protecting critical infistructure as we are still dealing with an internal Soverignty Crisis.

Assistance requires approval of the Government, of course

OOC: Interesting, I'll also presume there is no way for my nation to play a big role in this yet so back to the sidelines for now ;)

Esamopia... although very thankful to Whittier for its earlier support, has no choice but to support the anarchist tendencies.

With promises (we're not sure if they're real or not,) of more food and weapons, rebels have been assured that if they hold on long enough they will be granted all they need.

OOC:

Sorry Whittier! Thanks for everything in West Ukraine, but time to destabilize you, nothing personal!

The Sufferings of your people are grave indeed!
The Brittanic States has authorised the transfer of 5 million tonnes of wheat from the Brittanic States Wheat Reserve to help assist in your nations food shortage.
Merchant Vessels are already on the way with the wheat and I have been instructed to inform the government of Whittier that it has $500 million in credits that it can use to purchase food, medical supplies and fuel from the Brittanic States.

The Peoples Republik of Craznovia sends Congratulations for having the Political Stones to eliminate the malcontents. Should Whittier require additional troops to put down the rioters, Craznovia would be more than willing to send elements of the Ioszeph Sztalin Armored Division to help suppress them.
