OOC: Technically I'm closing it at this time, so that it will seem fair and be a one on one all out war. But, as it gets more established, and Smithsilian and I agree, it may open up.
If you would like to help out either side, TG that nation and we will create a list and TG you when we want to expand it

Shelbin, Jarridia
Jarrod Branam sits in his office, he is struggling over the news of the new rekindling of the Smithsilian hatred.
"This just keeps getting worse and worse," he tells himself.
Suddenly, Kim Shaffer, the Secretary of State walks in.
"Mr. President....we've got a problem." she said quickly
"What is it Kim?" Jarrod said, looking alarmed.
"Jason (Intelligence Advisor) informed me of a Smithsilian military build-up along our borders. They have not invaded, but reports show that they have fired on Jarridan tourists on the border towns, and fired into Jarridian soil."
Jarrod sighed, then looked out the window, "how many must die between these nations before Donald realizes that its not worth it?"
"Its extremely tragic that our once friendly nations must behave in such away, but Jarridians are beginning to ask questions...you must say something" said Kim, resting her hand on the presidents shoulder.
He looked at her and responded, "I'll speak to them shortly. Set up a press conference, and we'll work on a what needs to be said to congress."
She nodded and left the room. Jarrod stared out the window at the sunset.
He sighed again, obviously greatly disturbed, "This will be the fifth war between us. The fifth time Jarridian men will lose their lives fighting for their country against our neighbor. Lord have mercy on my soul"

Presidential Press Conference and Speech
Jarrod walked up behind the podium, cameras flashed and he cleared his throat.
"Good evening my friends. As many of you have already been made aware, our neighbors in Smithsilian have once again shown aggression towards our nation. They have ended innoncent Jarridian lives, and are threatening our peace and security in the world. They have moved to our border, and seem to be planning an invasion of our humble nation. We will not let this happen"
"Five times they have wreaked havoc upon us, and we respond with all our might to thwart their hateful attacks. This occassion will be no different, and we are taking every precaution to ensure that no more Jarridian lives are harmed at home. Our nation is now on DA 4. The military is on high alert, and the Jarridian National Guard is ready to fight an invasion"
"Do not fear my friends. We shall prevail. In these current events, I ask that Congress declare a state of war existing between Jarridia and Smithsilian. Thank you"
The cameras flash, the reporters scream questions at Jarrod, but he ignores them and walks off the stage and through the door.
