Stealth bomber? I'm loving that.

Lok'tar O'gar. Be happy too

I just wanna say that I totally called that it was infrastructure spending in our overseas properties that was screwing us over.
...
Well, ok, really all I said was that we should commit suicide by invading Norway, but in the process I totally mentioned infrastructure spending!

Pettiness aside, I like these developments. US is always a good ally, and our army's really growing nicely!

Though I must object to one development.

*puts on sunglasses*

Mr. President, you... disappoint me. An infantry vehicle? An armored support vehicle for the weakest branch of our military? I am... hurt. Wounded. Not by the insult, but rather because you seem to have learned... nothing. All this mentoring, all this advice, all this effort to instill some wisdom into you? For nought, apparently. For this decision, Mr. President...

*takes off sunglasses*

was without a doubt, most... unwise.

Ahem.

As for what to do... I guess continue with our efforts to take over the world's oil supply. Africa first, then the middle east.

You know, eventually we're gonna have to take out the US. Either that or get their oil-rich properties from them.
...

Tell me, how large is our most valued ally's army? And is there any way to disable its nuclear forces using covert strikes?

Should the answers to these questions be "too large" and "no" (which they probably are), never mind and instead tell me how much longer a string of covert operations to decrease Africa's popularity with the rest of the world and let us invade without getting slaughtered by an international coalition would take. I wouldn't care too much, but once we've got Africa it'd be best to be able to move on to the middle east immedeatly.

Though wait a minute. If we invade western africa, is there a way to get their oil and resources, but not have to pay infrastructure?

The proper changes have been made, I assure you. How careless of me. Though it might be a while until we can start manufacturing those things.

Actually, the way they're looking right now, we could take their ground forces easily. It's their navy that would be an issue. And yes, it is possible to sneak in and destroy their warheads, but to take every one of them out it would take years and years. And that's depending on how successful we are against their CIA.

If we invaded it's possible we could take a few states, but we would lose our navy and it's 50-50 whether the world would hate us for it (as we're attacking a direct ally) or love us for it (as the U.S. has been a complete douche).

I approve most strongly of these recent changes.

Doesn't our treaty let us position troops on each other's territory? Couldn't we just disperse our troops across their country, break alliance and take every state except for Hawaii? Of course, that'd still leave the Navy. Could we get some allies in this operation? Who else has a big navy?
Of course, all this is highly hypothetical. We can wipe out our closest ally later... for now, let's concentrate on Africa, get ourselves some more resources and oil.

I tried your suggestion and positioned troops all along the east coast of the U.S. then declared war. The game crashed. Literally, the first step any of my troops took caused the game to CtD. Then, after the game crashed, some process hung to the point where I had to restart the computer to stop it from being so jumpy. All of NATO also ended up declaring war on us.

Your idea has been summarily rejected from our war plan.

I highly suggest we trudge on into Africa. We can take basically anyone we want, though after some light terrorism.

[Edit] I name a nuclear bomb after you and the best you can give me is a fatal error?

How was I supposed to know how neoconservative that game is? Does this happen every time the US seems to be losing, or only if you come close to victory through liberal use of brilliant deception?

Besides, all that was only idle musing. We both knew it was too good to be true. I'm Africa all the way. Though with our 6th ranked, awesomely named military, do we need to limit ourselves to the west coast? Or could we take some of the more productive central regions as well? How's the terrorism going, by the way?

That actually seems pretty appropriate to me.

Most of Africa is our playground right now, with the exception being Egypt. They have potential to whoop us. But, if we focus on the rest of Africa, there are only a few countries with sizeable militaries that would be better off taken one by one.

The decision we have to make is, do we do this slowly? Terrorising small nations and gradually taking the entire continent? Or do we go Final Solution on their asses and bulldoze through all at once? We have the capacity to support a pretty large war right now.

Either way I want us in control of all the diamond-rich African nations.
