We feel compelled to point out in all the wars we have been in, only ONE was started by the U.S.A, which was against Canada. We were asked to intercede because the French and English were about to go to civil war. We could not let a unstable Canada exist. The elected government at that time asked us to end the decades long debate over whether Canada is English or French. We did.

Everyone of the rest were defensive in nature and we responded to attacks against us.

So which was it ?

Besides his invasion of Canada he has been attacked and conquered the attacking nation. Thats why he is so big

@tyler2114 if that was in response to my question, ill rephrase....

French or English ?

I think they went with C: American

Ah yes provoke the free world with a massive arms build up and an invasion of canada then attempt to claim your imperial aspirations are simply defensive in nature. You lose the defensive war argument when you stop defending your land and begin invading theirs.

(Orders the CIA to stir up trouble with Nigeria and see if we can be defensive there)

We forgive Fistalis in his ignorance. Since he came to the game way late he does not know that the U.S.A. did not build a single new military fab until year 5 of the game. There was no massive arms buildup until other countries started one. At that point we felt we could not be left behind.

Enjoying the flury of forum activity...

Guys. Please remember that this Saturday night the time moves forward one hour in most places around the US. So if you are in a location where clocks don't move (not sure if any places are left, maybe Arizona?) make sure to check what time it is in CST. Game will continue at regularly scheduled time of 7 CST.

I could not think of a way to type my comment on Nigeria and still be IC. Now I can. replace " he came to the game late" with Since he is newly elected to lead his country I do not expect him to be familiar with all the actions around the world prior.
