OOC: Please Continue all discussion of the Cuba Crisis here.

See this thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=10412875#post10412875) for the background story.

Once again the US invites Russia and China to send troops to Cuba peacefully to monitor free elections. That is the current purpose of the US troops there. The US is only trying to give freedom to the Cuban people, and ensure that the next Cuban government is elected democratically. US troops will leave as soon as free elections take place, and the elected government is rightfully in power.

Russia extends the ultimatum another 12 hours. If the US does not begin withdrawl of all troops from Cuba, action will be taken.

OOC: I'm adding in a few other nations responding.

IC: French President Jacques Chirac asks that the US allow Cuba to handle its own affairs and asks why the US took action so fast. Also, he asked Russia and China not to take immediate action without consulting the UN.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced support for the US ensuring a free election. He asked Russia step down and help with peaceful elections.

Communique to Russia and China:
If the US left cuba now what good would that do? Raul Castro has been captured so would you want the US to install him as a dictator or just leave cuba alone and with no government? If US troops stayed then they could ensure free elections with the help of Russian and Chinese and any other nation's troops.

You have 6 hours left to comply. All prisoners must be freed and Mr. Castro to takeover as was planned. If you do not comply, we will begin our plan for dealing with the United States' continued interference. There are more important situations, that could use your troops and manpower. Darfur to name one. Russia has begun drawing up plans to deal with the Darfur conflict.

When you do and if you do leave Cuba and return mr. Castro. We will be glad to send forces for security purposes.

If not then good luck

OOC: i probably shouldn't do this, but i can't back down, so if y'all aren't going to accept the us's terms then i would suggest readying your military forces.

OOC: AS you can tell ive been making preparations

--- Offical German Communique ---

The Federal Republic of Germany is astounded and appalled at the way in which this situation has been handled by both factions. Indeed, the United States, although acting under the guise of its famed 'Monroe Doctrine,' has committed a terrible and unacceptable travesty, but this action does not permit the tidings of open warfare.

Thus, the German People will stand with their fellow Frenchmen on this matter and suggest this crisis be defused within the hall of the United Nations rather than on the field of battle.

OOC: you do realize that if you just attack the US you'll have the rest of the UN after you except for Russia.

IC: The US agrees with Germany and France that this is a matter for debate in the UN. This conflict can be resolved diplomatically, and a world war would be devastating for all countries involved.

Vladimir Putin surprised the world with an annoucement that Russia will stand down its forces and will refer the United States to the UN.

From: Vladimir Putin
Subject: Cuba Crisis
We ask you to stand down your forces and sign our referral of the US to the UN.

the nation of norway has sided with the the nations of china and russia

President Chirac issues a comment to all nations currently seized in the Cuba Crisis:

"Messieurs et Mesdames, the world is gripped with a potential crisis at hand. While the actions of the United States of America are indeed repulsive and unworthy for a nation that pledges freedom and democracy, we extend our hands to them, respectfully asking them to cease these interventions in the Cuban nation. The uncalled attack of a freindly nation shows no honor for that nation and its people, and we vehemently oppose any further incursion against the freedom of the Cuban people.

That said, we are not the insolent folk that they may perceive of us. It would be in no way righteous for the Republic of France to engage the United States - even in support with other nations in like minds - to force them to terms without diplomatic attempts to reconcile the situation. We encourage our European and Asian partners to restrain hostility to the United States of America, judging that this conflict is not worth the pain that it would become. Rather, we must make our efforts in the United Nations, to call for action on the behalf of the Cuban people to be free from the American invasion. And let this no mistake: France will approach the Security Council and likewise demand the harshest terms to achieve this.

Therefore, we call to the People's Republic of China, the Russian Federation, and many other distinguished nations in the world to follow the diplomatic path and reveal the many ignoble acts of the United States in invading a peaceful country.

Thank you, and good night."

[OOC: why is the USA invading CUba?]

OOC: Yes, good question. Read the US thread linked on the main page. I will also post the link here.

IC: Russia has agreed to stand down and is spearheading a referral of the US to the UN. (I'll post our referral soon with signatory nations)

OOC: I hadn't thought that this was going to be such a major conflict. I was just going to give democracy to Cuba and then leave them with full independence. But, we'll see what happens in the UN.

Ehud Olmert broadcasts the cabinet's opinion on the Cuba Crisis:

"Israel is pleased that Russia has conceded and stepped away from military solutions. Although military force is often very vital (and we ought to know) we believe that the United States is in the right in this instance. We will support them in this crisis, as they have always supported us in times of need.

May Yaweh bless the United States."

PM Villepin offers support in the drafting of any kind of proposal to the UN body, regarding the Cuban crisis.

OOC: I hadn't thought that this was going to be such a major conflict. I was just going to give democracy to Cuba and then leave them with full independence. But, we'll see what happens in the UN.

kinda weird...invade a country to liberate it...but what the heck...the US has done it before...i am delightfully surprised how the DPRK haven't made any threats as of yet or even Iran...pending on the case that they're even here...

The US thanks Israel for their support in this crisis. Also, we would like to propose holding a special meeting of the UN soon, so this conflict can be resolved diplomatically. Russian and Chinese forces made very aggressive moves near our borders, when the US did not want a war.

Israel urges that this special meeting be conducted as soon as possible to ensure this conflict will be resolved peaceably.

Israel will attend the meeting.

OOC: I know, but it seemed like a move Bush would make.

OOC: I know, but it seemed like a move Bush would make.

OOC: I'm not sure... only if he thought that Cuba had WMDs...

OOC: I'm not sure... only if he thought that Cuba had WMDs...
OOC: Yeah, democracy is more of his excuse...so are WMDs though. But, we'll go with it. It is something to do.

Press Release
China will stand down its forces around the globe. We will join Russia in reffering the US to the UN.

Secret
Conversation between Chinese president and Chinese Minister of War

Jintao "Damn it why do they always ruin our time"
Minister "Dont worry we will have our chance soon"
Jintao "what happened to the carrier"

Yeah, democracy is more of his excuse...so are WMDs though. But, we'll go with it. It is something to do.

i don't know if bush knows enough to make excuses...not to critique his intellect, but he doesnt know much about international politics, let alone national politics...and if he does, he doesnt demonstrate it very well...

France commends China in their decision to stand-down their military forces. We now look to the United States, in the hopes that they will wisely withdraw from Cuba and leave the people in peace to their elections.

Referral to the United Nations of the United States of America by the Russian Federation for the unfair an illegal invasion of the sovereign nation of Cuba and the detention of said nation's leader:

The Russian Federation hereby condemns the US invasion of Cuba to ensure free elections without knowing what Mr. Raul Castro's administration would have done. A more acceptable plan would have been to ask Mr. Castro to allow free elections and possibly issue an ultimatum. Russia recommends that the United States be forced hand over Cuba to UN peacekeeping forces seeing that allowing Mr. Castro back into power is unlikely. Also, Mr. Castro should be released seeing that he has not committed any crime against the United States.

If the United Stated does not comply with the United Nations, Russia recommends that a UN-led coalition will force the United States to comply. All nations that agree with this referral should acknowledge that position.

Agreeing Nations:
Russian Federation
Ukraine
Poland
Kyrgyzstan
France
Israel(partly agrees)

[ooc: sounds like we're begging for WWIII...]

France agrees with the referral, although the threat of force is quite unnecessary [get the UAE to persuade its OPEC friends to oil embargo the USA :)].

Israel urges the US to release Mr. Castro from custody, and to allow free elections to begin. But Israel also asks the US not to pull out of Cuba, but to remain in control to ensure a peaceful transition to democracy.

In either case, Israel assures the US that they will stand by them.

The US will be happy to have UN peacekeeping forces go to Cuba. US military forces were planning on leaving soon anyways since elections were about to take place. The US would only like to ask permission to leave behind a force of about 1000 men to make sure free elections take place. After the elections, all US forces will leave Cuba. Also, Raul Castro will be released, although any attempt by him to restore himself as head of a dictatorship in Cuba will not be tolerated, as it would be a threat to democracy near the US.

Russia invites Mr. Raul Castro to impose self-exile inside Russia upon release from US custody.

OOC: Shouldn't Raul be a candidate in the election?

France commends the United States of America in their decision to withdraw troops, and we will consider the proposal to UN peacekeepers to Cuba to monitor elections. However, we maintain our disdain for the actions committed by the United States.

China disagrees with any US forces of ANY kind in Cuba. We would like to have our peacekeeping forces or any others from any country except the US.

Israel only agrees to a small part of Russia's proposal.

Israel urges China to allow free election in Cuba and US forces to remain there until the elections are over and Democracy is installed.

News Report: Anti Americanism in Greece


Although President Papolus has not made any official comments, the people of Greece are extremely disgruntled by this topic. Anti-Americanism is at a new high. Many Americans on vacation have left the country for fears of their lives. Some extremists were seen burning American flags. Many people have critiscized the President.

A disgruntled Islamic Greek from the Island of Ikaria said today "The President will send troops to the aid of a big country like France, but he will not spare aid for a small country oppressed by the United States! This is hypocrisy at best!"

Altough the annonymous man is on an Extreme side of the spectrum, this shows how American policing tactics is affecting the rest of the World.

And now to the Transit Report.

Canada is ashamed of the actions of it's Southern neighbour and encourages, along with other nations, the withdrawal of forces in Cuba, we would also like to join the UN coalition in bringing the US out of Cuba.

The United Nations has passed a resolution condemning the US invasion of Cuba. The US should have asked for UN peacekeepers to come in instead. Also, the UN will be sending peacekeeping forces to help ensure a smooth transition and recommends the US leave when the peacekeepers arrive. The UN will not permit any other nation to invade or attack the US over this issue.

OOC: NT will just finish it up from here and announce a winner in the election and maybe have people riot like in Haiti. lol Crisis Resolved. I will be removing the link from the main page.

===PRESS RELEASE===

While the French government has officially dropped its harsh condemnation of the United States for its uncalled invasion, anti-Americanism still peeps out at an all-time high. President Jacques Chirac recently called moves by the United States of America to withdraw most of its troops from Cuba a worthwhile effort to improve international relations. However, he still called for a dominant UN peacekeeping force in place to ensure that the elections would be free and fair.

A massive crowd of Hispanic residents in the banlieue of southwest Paris rose in revolt today, burning American flags in protest. Resident Jean Lieutot commented, "THE UNITED STATES HAS NO RIGHT TO INVADE ITS NEIGHBORS!!! THIS IS IMPERIALISM AT ITS WORST!!!" He further remarked that the United States of America "[should] BURN IN HELL!"

While the flag burning demonstrations have been relatively peaceful, the sight has turned visitors and tourists away from Paris for the moment. Marie Thormant, a local shopkeeper, said, "I don't mind these people making protest, as is their right. However, they really ought to consider the people who make a living around here. I was talking to my sister and she said that she didn't want to go out in this weather; too many people were burning flags, she didn't know when the cocktails would be flying in her window."

Down the street, Didier de Courcheau said, "I believe that the government should stop all of this anti-American sentiment. It is not good for France to have this going on, especially with Iraq and Afghanistan going on now. It is just not good."

French police addressed the riots, reassuring them that they could peacefully protest, while maintaining firm demands that they remain peaceful.
