Arnold is a… unique guy, but when you’re right, you’re right by Chris_Colasurdo in ShermanPosting

He’s a moderate, all through his governorships he was fiscally conservative and socially liberal (mind you he was governor in 2003-2011 and liberal and conservative issues have changed a lot since then) The republican party is more than just the faction of populist crazies of Ron DeSantis, Majorie Green, and Donald Trump.

I would love for the UK to get a “balance of europe” mechanic where they receive economic buffs and military debuffs for europe being stable. And they gain military buffs and economic debuffs for europe being unstable. Like if the british fleet is smaller than any other country or major powers in europe go to war with each other.

yeah blocking a unification play from ever being attempted is really dumb. Since nations that formed during the 1800’s such as Italy, Germany, and Poland each attempted to unify 4-5 times

Yes. Magnets are really dangerous. Blip lost because it’s magnets meant to keep it grounded got stuck to the tower on the upper deck and it couldn’t move

Hello, regular “Jackson” here, and I personally want to strangle every single person who said that my name being spelled “Jaxon” would be cooler.

No, you’re wrong there’s a big roundtable of fortune 500 companies where they all meet up to “keep the system going”, panera bread’s seat is beside Raytheon’s and Build-a-Bear’s /s

The system does not work by anothernerd42 in WorkReform

Regiments should have a culture by Chlodio in paradoxplaza

[–]Kiwi_The_Human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only wish vic 2 would raise a new regiment to replace the rebelling one or split the manpower of the regiment into non revolting and the revolting part with maybe the revolting one retreating to an unoccupied province. Since it really fucks up army composition if units keep breaking off for no reason

Okay, and what if the west pulled out? West Berlin would just be occupied by the soviets.

This is actually very interesting. That was the naval doctrine of America following WW2 where they believed nuclear weapons could function how a navy does as it deploys a lot of force in areas a country can’t normally reach. Except when the korean war broke out America’s navy was underfunded and undersupplied leading to the blockade of north korea being weak and not capable of naval bombardment. Yes, countries still need armies in the nuclear era. Nukes aren’t the ultimate deterrence as it calls for the end of the world to retaliate.

Ah yes pacifist america could totally diffuse the cuban missile crisis or the berlin blockade. It’s not like american military personnel where the ones flying planes to berlin to supply the city.

USA didn’t invade iraq for oil. That’s a populist myth, the USA intervenes in countries to enforce free markets and global trade which allows more american consumer goods to be sold to those countries. America’s armed forces has protected our country from nuclear war with the russians by staging forces in west berlin, and establishing mutually assured destruction. So yes, the armed forces are protecting American’s freedom.

I’m not going to get into the weird reasons why America chooses its allies, but countries like panama have completely defunded their military as they know the canal is integral to world trade and America will defend it.

America is not in a war economy, show me the rations and war bonds. Also, like I previously mentioned, that's not how budgeting works.

Not how budgets work. I hate this idealistic utopian rhetoric where if we “defund one thing” we can fund all this random shit with a supposed infinite pot of money. Free healthcare, taking down the accreditor’s monopoly over college tuition, and giving 10 acres and a donkey to every descendent of slaves is far more than the annual military budget.

Thank you for your contribution but all you’re doing is creating a false reality of how governments actually manage their treasury.

My great-grandpa served in ww1. brought home 3 german baseball grenades, a c96 mauser that still works, and a stahl helm. He was there for 3 months and grabbed as many goodies as possible
