General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

What's the Demo game planned if they don't stay our ally? I often think dems forget there aren't too many options when it comes to foreign relations.

Honestly, it shows a lot about their culture. And not only that, bu christ...A country of that size was able to completely cripple China and do so much damage in WW2 due to their military prowess and culture.

 

[Smart Marx]

Russians' nuke pile is nothing to sneeze at either, but I doubt Vlad wants these 4K cherries up his ass.

 

[Sakura]

No idea. I don't think Russia has any intents nor have they of having any sort of war in a long time. Even during the cold war, I imagine it was mostly mind games and intimidation. It doesn't benefit them at all to go to war with us.

 

[Smart Marx]

Japan decimated China and then took us on! And nearly beat us! If we didn't invent a Godkiller and drop on two of their cities wiping millions of Japanese people off the face of the Earth, who knows.

 

[Sakura]

Though that isn't to say they wouldn't ramp up tensions, and do similar mind games and flex their military might. A big thing to remember is how much we rely on them also for our space program. We currently get to the ISS thanks to Russia.

 

[Smart Marx]

A second Cold War doesn't sound like a wise game plan either.

 

[Sakura]

I don't think either country has anything good to gain of tensions or war, tbh. It'd do nothing but damage both economies, and ramp up tensions with other countries as well.

 

[Smart Marx]

Russia played the biggest part in crippling their infrastructure last year. I agree. We need their support over there in that fight.

 

[Smart Marx]

I'm honestly surprised we didn't get more shit for how dirty we did Japan to end WW2.

 

[Sakura]

Not to mention the damage we, along with all others who did nuclear testing did to the earth.

 

[Smart Marx]

All the sickness that came with it too.

 

[Sakura]

On one hand I don't know if anything else would have stopped Japan or caused them to yield. On the other, I can't say I agree with the massive casualties caused by the nukes to civilians. It was largely a no win situation, and something I think is best never to have happen again.

 

[Smart Marx]

From the land and people in the waters.

 

[Smart Marx]

Same way I look at it.
