US DEPARTMENT OF STATE-STATEMENT OF US FOREIGN POLICY
CONFLICTS IN WESTERN HEMISPHERE The US has faced 2 conflicts in it's own locale so far. -Mexico-The US military was attacked by Mexican forces following drug cartel related violence in numerous border towns. Cessation of violence was agreed upon prior to large scale US offensive. -Cuba-The US military began a pullout of air and naval reserves from Guatanamo. Following the departure of the last aircraft squadron, only a token presence remained in Cuba, enticing Cuba to attack the US military facility. Following the capture of Gitmo, the US conducted an air and naval war against Cuba, and following a few weeks of hostilities and naval skirmishes an agreement for peace was met. -The United States remains concerned about the large amount of Chinese and Russian hardware encountered during conflict with the Cuban Navy. The United States does not approve of such outright aggression on the part of these two powers. FORWARD DEPLOYMENTS (Locations withheld for security reasons)- US Air Force strike groups have been stationed in key locations worldwide, with aircraft complement determined by needs of theater. US Navy carrier battle groups deployed to areas of strategic importance, with US Army and Marine Corps rapid response forces deployed aboard naval transports. Surface Action Groups deployed to key chokepoints. Nuclear deterrent maintained aboard Ohio class subs, surface ships, B52 strike groups, and land based launchers in the continental Great Lakes. Cruiser based weapons located in US territorial waters.
POLICY- The United States will not, in general, interfere with the business of foreign nations. Nations will be left to their own business, with exception going to those nations in danger of inevitable fall to a rogue power. In the case, the United States will offer support, though America will not militarily intervene unless attacked itself.
America also seeks to advance multilateral cooperation. The US has entered agreements with nations in nearly all parts of the world, and America will pursue international cooperation in the event that a need for military action arises. In addition, America seeks the greater unity of Europe including the growth of an EU foreign policy, and as such has allowed for large integration of NATO and EU structure. The US also welcomes the cooperation of India and Japan in the interests of creating cooperation in East Asia.
ABCATO- The United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia have created a comprehensive security agreement and organization as a way of progessing collective security and coordinating foreign policy.
WARZONES- Brazil-The US will not intervene, militarily or economically, in the war between Brazil and Venezuela/Argentina. Diplomatic preference will be given to ally Brazil. MidEast-The US will not intervene against Iran on behalf of either Turkey, Israel, or Kuwait, however in the event of further Iranian aggression, the US will seek to contain the influence of this rogue state. Asia-The United States, in agreement with the Korea treaty, will offer any support to states fighting the People's Republic of China outside the Korean peninsula, nor will the US deploy forces to Korea. However, the United States, Germany, and ABACTO will continue to offer support to the Republic of Korea through supply, finance, and equipment. The United States will not tolerate the fall of a modern, stable democracy to a rogue Communist dictatorship, and will protect the rights of the Korean people to democracy. In addition, the United States disapproves of the Russian and Chinese role in supporting North Korea. The United States will condemn any military intervention of either of these powers in Korea and respond with necessary means to defeat any invasion force. The United States is also gravely concerned with outright Chinese aggression; the Communist government has already destroyed 2 democracies (Mongolia and Nepal), and seeks the destruction of 2 more (Taiwan and the Republic of Korea.) America had hoped China would show greater responsibility in its use of power, and is disappointed that China has pursued such an aggressive path.
