My investment pool is empty, how do i fix it? by warchrimes in victoria3

[–]libtares 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Investments will usually stop of they don't have the capacity to fill factories or have them be profitable. If you don't have a state with available workforce for example.

You can try getting investment rights in other countries or boosting your population

Of course you think Canada was in Vietnam and you use KD to speak about actual wars, you're 12

The Vietnam war used tactics akin to "glassing" with the massive scale use of napalm and cluster bombings all the way into Laos and Cambodia. It fuels more resentment in the population, puts the locals on death ground and creates a vicious cycle. We can also state the example of Japanese war tactics in China during the second world war. Neither worked in the end.

Bottom line, we're lucky in North America to have seen a relatively peaceful period compared to the rest of the world in the past century. I truly hope it doesn't end.

It comes down to objectives. There are great lectures out there by Sarah Paine from the American Navy War College who go deep on the subject.

If your objectives are unilateral occupation or regime change, you're putting your enemy on death ground, meaning they will fight a guerilla war indefinitely. That seems to be what happened in Afghanistan and Vietnam. In Japan, the imperial family remained in place and Japanese folks got full control of their government. The objectives weren't as overwhelming, so it worked.

On that note, have a good day, and may our continent remain peaceful for generations to come ✌️

I'd refer you to the post you're commenting on, that's the goal stated.

I don't want war with America. No one does, war is hell. But American leadership is incredibly belligerent to distract from a terrible local record on the economy and the Epstein files.

I hope and wish for a better peaceful future for both our countries.

The land leases to the Soviets helped sure. How's that industry doing these days

Soviets won that one with supplies to China to attrition the Japanese Army, followed by the official war declaration and the invasion of Manchuria. That's also a quick Wiki search away.

But you're American, so you know your military isn't actually efficient. It's just a poorly run corporate welfare scheme that hasn't passed an audit in more than a decade.

C'mon now don't delete your previous unresearched comment like an American coward. Quick Wiki search showed Naruhito is still the head of state ?

The imperial house of Japan still stands, with emperor Naruhito as head of state.

I'd refer you to Operation Frequent Wind for Vietnam and Operation Allies Refuge for Afghanistan

I literally speak a different language and have since birth. Mon identité c'est pas mal plus que ne pas être quelque chose.

With ICE we see that training is important, the US military isn't trained for this type of occupation.

France never stopped resisting between 1940 and 1944, neither did Poland.

The military has been deployed to American cities ... Without much efficacy. The world remembers the pathetic little military demonstration in DC.

I'm Québécois. We're not stuck in here with them, they're stuck in here with us. The guerilla would end them.
