RF begins economic sanctions on AMF, ALLIES WANTED!!!

Russian Forces
01-08-2004, 11:41
The Union of Socialist Republic of Russian Forces is now starting to pose economic sanctions on The Infamous Automagfreek. We do not wish to have a war but we want to get most nations to block all economic trade with the nation of terror. If you do this, you are giving a Dictator a bad day which is quite a good thing, would you not agree? This means you don't let a single citizen to even think of bartering with a filthy Freek. Russian Forces welcomes all to join. Even if you don't know AMF, i suggest you do it because one day he might invade your small nation.

We're not trying to force our ideas on AMF. He is a bully and we just felt sanctions may warn him to tone down his imperialist actions. We have not committed troops to any invasion, we are simply showing imperialists they can't get away with this anymore.

Many have critised the Counter-Imperialist Alliance becuase they say it lacks the courage to stop larger nations. Well, here's your proof these critics are wrong.

Sanctions are not force. How in any way are they force? It's just our nation refusing to trade with another nation. How can this be compared to force in any other way? We are simply refusing to trade with a nation we find hostile to socialism and anti imperialism, a nation who has in the past blocked our attempts at counter imperialism or prevention of genocide.

To be fair, is AMF a threat to me? I am bigger than him, have a hugely militaristic culture in which every youngster does a compulsery 3 year military service, so I have a nice size naval force (mainly submarines). I am an archipeligo, which is a group of islands, which, as the UK proved to Hitler, is a hard place to invade. To be honest I fail to see the threat posed by a smaller nation.
Also I haven't done anything to annoy him...

In support of a great number of nations who are my allies, i will assist them in taking AMF down and putting an end to his madness.

AMF, you were a good friend until you hindered relations some time ago for attacking me for reversing a decision involving the saving of millions of innocent lives in Somalia during my liberation of the nation. (i know you remember). I could not allow you to go in and mindlessly destroy anything and everything, despite how upset i was that a counter coalition was being formed. It is a matter of morals, something that you sometimes seem to lack, and quite frankly im glad that i made the decision to not allow you to go in and destroy everything in sight. That is not keeping in the Credonian tradition of helping, assisting, and progressing less privileged nations and their people.

Therefore, Credonia's FULL support goes to the coalition against AMF.

Quite frankly we are a little confused as to which action Russian Forces and their allies are conducting, however each possibility is riddled with problems.

The first possibility is that Russian Forces has placed a trade embargo on Automagfreek and asked others to do so in order to damage AMF's economy... however, due to the fact that there are easily 100'000 nations in the world and that Automagfreek has a large base of allies such an action would only be a matter of your nations personal ethics, not being willing to trade with a nation like AMF.


The second possibility is that Russian forces is trying to enforce a blockade again Automagfreek, which is probably one of the most dangerous things you can try seeing as a blockade is an act of war. To acheive a blockade your nations, and others, will have to deploy forces to enforce such an action, these will probably be attacked by AMF and his allies... were it not for...


The third and final point. I think AMF ignores Russian Forces ever since the whole war crap several months ago. So the chances are that AMF isn't going to reply to this crap.

Well actually, they are. Think about it, 10-20 nations out of 100'000. The trade isn't going to be affected, even if you just counted the nations who role-play there will be enough allies and enterprising neutrals to pick up any slack.

Whats more, seeing as all the nations who are placing trade embargoes on AMF are generally against him it's unlikely he will have to even change contracts because he probably wasn't trading with you in the first place.

Trade embargoes have little to no effect in NS because there are tonnes of nations who beleive in "Free Trade" and these nations, who like money, will always pick up any trade you guys ban.

I place trade embargo nations to stop traders from trading with un-ethical nations because my nation controls the businesses and sees them as an extension of their diplomacy.

Your sanctions will have no real affect on AMF unless he has a huge contract with you which he RPed...

yes it is. the 38 some other nations in the APTO still trade with AMF. They include such big boys as Elara, Sambizie, Adjeeni, Crimmond, Pantera, 5 Civilized Nations, and me.

And besides that, there are SO many nations on NS that 10 blockading him won't help you one bit.

It has occured to me that 6 pages of dialogue has been spent on discussing AMF. That alone should be a red flag. You don't spend all this time talking about someone if you don't either respect him or fear him.

AMF is big, powerful, rich, and ruthless.....my kind of nation.

I can't wait for the day to arrive when dozens of nations spend hours and days talking about Xeraph and the Xeraphian Federation. We have very similar qualities< AMF and us. We built slowly, and picked our fights....and have yet to be defeated.

Xeraph has many allies, approx 28 at last count, most of them w/pop of over a billion. And Xeraph is part of a number of Alliances with pop of billions, all of which have pledged mutual aid in times of war.

We have traditionally taken the side of the underdog, those nations who are up-and-coming, and who were being threatened by the big boys. I've never had to come to the aid of a nation threatened by AMF. Most of the aid I've rendered were military strikes against terrorists.

So, I've said all this to say that there will always be those nations who rant and rave against the big guys. Jealous, probably. I for one will not choose sides in this matter because it does not directly affect me. But I have a sneaking suspicion that if AMF seems to need help, I'll be there for him just as I would for any other nation unfairly put upon.

respectfully,

Alaric, King of Xeraph, Protector of the Xeraphian Federation, Councilor Prime of GAPTS, Master of the Knights Templar (XF)

In IRC he has asked me to point out that he still ignores Russian Forces since the war he had with him maybe about 6 months ago which ended in a ignore-fest.

Okay, let me point out one of the reasons why an economic sanction against AMF, or anyone in the APTO, is pointless. Our trade amongst ourselves is far greater than with smaller nations like those trying to enact the sanction. You would in no way hurt his economy. This sanction is like throwing a pebble at a cliff expecting the cliff to be damaged.
Ruissia
01-08-2004, 22:52
i feel ashamed to state once again that this economical embargo is actually of no true stance as none of us actually trade with him. Its just a way that we voice our opinions that we are against AMFs current leadership and look for a change

Size means nothing. A nation of 50 million could easily RP the pants off of a nation of 2 billion. The size of your nation dosen't matter, it's how you play the game.

As some other members of the APTO pointed out, we're laughing at you. In fact, we still are. A measly 10-20 nation blockade won't do CRAP. And what if, by some act of god, you manage to get all 50,000 some nations to blockade AMF? Why, AMF can just trade with the rest of the APTO. You know....that orginazation we're in....with about 40 some members?

So in another words you're baiting him and trying to grief him at the same time? I think this calls for some moderator intervention, because he stated on IRC that he does not want to RP with you. Can't you just respect that and leave him alone?

He ignores basically anyone bigger than him, which i find so amusing.

Which is bullshit, because he can RP the pants off of people like yourself.

OOC: Furthermore, if a blockade were recognized...WA would shut off access from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea (the Dardanelles) and from the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea (Suez) to Blockading nations. Additionally, WA has forces in the Panama Canal Zone that would enforce a blockade there against the Blockading nations...just as a few first steps in the process (Access to the entire Persian Gulf from the sea as well as through the north (Turkey and Iran) would be shut off as well, a blockade near the southern tip of Africa would also be enforced and WA forces controlling access to Gibraltar would also interfere). There's a lot more trade that your group could lose in this process...if it were to be recognized.

A blockade would lead to a World War, there is no doubt in my opinion, the blockade and resulting counter blockade would cause immense tension which would have to be defused quickly to avert any war.

Embrelion Mountain does not currently have relations with this "AutoMagFreek", a nation whose name curdles the tongue as surely as it curdles our souls to pronounce it.

As Embrelion Mountain has no relations with AutoMag, an imposition of trade embargos seems rather silly. Still, as the economic power for our region, we cannot ignore the embargo imposed by our neighbor, Technocracia.

Embrelion Mountain is willing to participate in this embargo provided Technocracia loosens their closed border policy with us and allows free trade between our nations once again, as well as issuing an official apology for the assassination of our dukes.

In the meantime, our magic corps, as well as the Troll mercenaries and conscripts of the northern duchies stand ready to be hired out to any nation that would desire their services for a more escalated argument.

He's trying to get over this, but it's hard to overcome a racism that's become ingrained over many, many millenia
